Chapter 403 

“Lindey didn’t tell you because she knew you’d try to protect Tanya. But she’s already shown up at your home while you’ve been gone. You know Matthew’s condition, and you know what’s at stake. Think carefully about how you’re going to handle this,” I said, keeping my voice steady. 

On the outside, I sounded calm. On the inside? I was really calm. 

Here I was, having a rational conversation with the guy I once loved… about the woman who tore us apart. If that didn’t prove I was over him, I didn’t know what would. 

Jace stayed quiet, and I figured there was no point in dragging it out. I turned to head back to Yuna’s 

room. 

“You don’t even appreciate my concern anymore?” Jace’s low voice stopped me right before I opened the door. 

I knew he was talking about the baked pears he’d brought after noticing my hoarse voice. The ones I gave to Yuna instead. 

“Would you eat something past its expiration date?” I shot back, pushing the door open and stepping inside. 

I paused at the entrance, taking a deep breath to steady myself. That’s when I caught Yuna’s voice, soft but clear. 

“Hayden, is Keira’s ‘brother‘ actually her ex?”
