At that moment, Tatiana stood up with a wine glass in her hand. “Why don’t we drink a
toast to Lyse? Here’s to you reaching new heights in your career, and may everything go
smoothly for you.”
“Gosh, I love what you just said. Come, I’ll give you a kiss!” Alyssa chirped and downed
her wine before
blowing a kiss to her sister.
Tatiana lowered her gaze shyly and blushed.
“Let’s all drink to Lyse! All the best for Lyse! Cheers!” The other siblings raised their glass
tipsily and
passionately.
The sincere faces around Alyssa and the clinking of glasses brought tears to her eyes.

and joking during
dinner, but when it was time to go, they both teared up.
Liam’s division was stationed not too far away in Leichtown. However, his demanding role
required frequent months-long trips, which did not allow him many chances to reunite with
his family.
“Will you be back for Lyla’s birthday?” Alyssa ran her hand across Liam’s uniform and put
his beret on him.
“I’m sorry, Lyse,” Liam apologized with a sigh and pinched her cheek. Then, he turned to
Tatiana and repeated, “Sorry, Taty. Please convey my apology to Lyla, too.”
“It’s alright, Liam! We know you’re busy. Your work is more important!” Tatiana responded
quickly, waving
her hand. She felt it wasn’t her place to accept Liam’s apology.
“But I’ve prepared a gift for Lyla. Lyse, I’ll need your help to hand it to Lyla.”
“Of course.”
The bulletproof vehicle that was driven from Leichtown to pick up the colonel had been
waiting for a
while at the hotel’s underground parking.
The aide courteously opened the door for Liam, who entered the car after bidding his
family farewell.
Then, he rolled down the windows and reminded Alyssa with some concern, “Do not ever
entertain that
Beckett fellow. Let him be. Got it?”
“Okay! I got it! Bye, Liam!” Alyssa smiled demurely in front of Liam, unlike her usual
headstrong character. She even seemed gentler than Tatiana.

After seeing Liam off, Silas and Cyrus returned to their respective jobs.
On the other hand, Alyssa asked Jonah for a ride because she had had a lot to drink and
needed rest,
given her injuries.
“Ms. Alyssa, I’ll send you home,” Sean interjected and approached her without thinking.
Taking care of
Alyssa had become second nature to him.
“If you come with me, who’s going to stick with Tatiana? She drank a fair bit too!” Alyssa
wrapped an arm
around Tatiana’s waist and playfully nudged her toward Sean.
Tatiana, who was already dizzy, lost her balance and nearly collapsed after being shoved.
Fortunately,
Sean was quick to catch her in his arms.
With her head against his chest, she looked up in a daze. Their eyes locked, and an
electrifying sensation
passed between them, causing them to breathe raggedly.
