Chapter 355
When Ronan noticed my spirits flagging, he comforted me, "You can rest up here for a few days. We
need to give them some breathing room over at Goldenvale. Once Jaylan and I have wrapped things
up here, we'll turn up the heat on Goldenvale. Jaylan won't know what hit him and he'll be forced to
make a choice. During this time, you'll be safer in Silverdale."
I was impressed by their meticulous planning.
"I've got a hunch that Jesper is more than he seems," I said to Ronan. "He seems to know a lot more
than he lets on, like he knows exactly why Jaylan came to Silverdale."
"Caleb's got him under control," Logan interjected casually. "Right now, the priority is your safety, Allie.
As long as you're fine, we can go all out."
"I'm not the one who's scared," I teased, looking at Logan. "It's not like I'm tying your hands!"
"You're quite the little tiger, aren't you?" Logan complimented me with a chuckle.
Everyone laughed, and I felt my cheeks warm up with a blush. Glancing at Ronan, I saw his smile was
even brighter.
After hanging out with Hannah for a bit longer, Ronan urged us to head back. I knew he wanted to
avoid drawing Jaylan's attention prematurely.
Before we left, I turned to Larkin with a smile and said, "It seems you'll have your hands full from now
on, Larkin."
"Ms. Wilburn, you're too kind. It's my duty," he responded with succinct formality, never one to waste
words.
Hannah gave Larkin a sneaky wave and whispered, "Catch you later!" as we walked away.
In the car, I glanced at Hannah and teased, "So, love isn't sweet? Because I'm pretty sure I can smell
honey in the air."
"Aaliyah, don't jump to conclusions. We're just teammates," Hannah said, trying to cover up.
"I'm not jumping to anything," I feigned innocence, "I didn't mention you, so what are you explaining
for?"
Hannah was speechless for a moment, her face flushed with a hint of embarrassment as she glared at
me. "Seriously!"

anything. "So, he's your shadow, huh?”
"Right! I'm by your side and he's in the shadows not showing his face, but don't worry, he's definitely
not far away!" Hannah said with certainty.
“I'll be in Oldtown Avenue for the next few days, hardly venturing out. Tell him to take it easy and rest
up."
Hannah's eyes lit up at the mention of Larkin. "He's incredibly capable. Among us, he's the standout—
brave, meticulous, and decisive. No one can match him. He went to Northern Myanmar on a mission.
He's been there for two years, and he just came back!" Hannah continued.
Northern Myanmar again, it seems like Northern Myanmar was really eventful.
"No wonder he’s so tanned." I spat out.
"Tanned? He’s a lot thinner. It's tough over there!" Hannah explained.
"Sounds like he had quite the stint in Northern Myanmar," I noted.
Eventually, I suggested a shortcut back. "It could come in handy in an emergency," I explained. Reаd at

Hannah agreed eagerly. "I'm good with directions. Show me once, and I'll remember it forever."
I led the way, and we continued our journey in silence, the narrow path allowing for little else.
