Vincent rarely came to the family estate these days and had just arrived home when he saw his grandfather, Knox, seeing off some quests. He lingered in the yard for a while, watching the group depart from a distance. For a fleeting moment, he thought he had caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, but by the time he focused, the person was already getting into a car.
Before long. Knox approached him, “Kid, what's gotten into you to drop by today?”
Vincent had already shifted his gaze away, his handsome face as cool as ever. Only when looking at his grandfather, would his eyes soften unconsciously, “Didn’t you tell me that you whipped up a couple of new dishes? I’m just here to play guinea pig for your culinary experiments.”
Normally, this would have touched Knox, but tonight, he just huffed, “Not necessary. Your palate is only good for eating. You never have any constructive feedback.”
As Knox headed inside, he continued, “I’ve been telling you to learn cooking from me, but all you do is make excuses about solving puzzles. Are puzzles really that enticing?”

Suddenly, Knox patted his shoulder with a hint of melancholy. “One day, the Mendoza legacy will be in your hands. | might not be around much longer, but I’ll set everything up for you. So. for now, enjoy doing what you like.”
“Grandpa, come on. It’s windy out here. Let's get inside,” Vincent said as he steadied Knox, guiding him towards the main house. Knox chuckled and let himself be led away.
In the car, with Nikolai present, Mirabella kept to herself, leaning against the car door, eyes closed, resting.

When her phone buzzed in her pocket, she opened her eyes and fished it out.
It was a message from Leo, asking when she'd be home.
Mirabella glanced outside and then at Nikolai, who was chatting with Wyatt in the front. After al brief moment, she spoke up, “Wyatt, you can drop me off at the next intersection.”
Wyatt instinctively glanced at his boss in the rearview mirror. James turned to Mirabella, “Something up?”
Mirabella responded softly. “I'll just grab a cab home.”
