After returning home, Cassandra took a comfortable bath and then went to bed, as if trying to make up for all the sleep she had missed.
Kenneth didn’t disturb her. After sending her back, he went to the base.
His mission was completed. Although he didn’t return with the people from the consulate, he managed to secure a ceasefire, giving them time to prepare and feel
at ease.
As he was back in his own country, Kenneth finally felt at ease. No matter what, Clusia was the safest. His Cassandra didn’t need to risk her life in the midst of gunfire and bombs.
In his superior’s office, the leader saw him looking happy and couldn’t help but tease him, “Oh, did you bring your girlfriend back?”
Kenneth admitted, “Yes, she’s back.”
“I’m a bit curious. Who could make you so nervous?”
“It’s a girl I’ve been looking for for many years.” Kenneth felt there was nothing he couldn’t say and said it straightforwardly.
The leader suddenly realized, somewhat curious. “I’ve heard before that Commander Zelinski had someone in his heart. Looks like it’s this girl?”
“Yes.”
“Bring her to the military residential compound and let your aunties take a look at her.” In peacetime, these leaders were willing to act as matchmakers.
In the military residential compound, where military families lived, everyone had nothing to do and wanted to introduce girls with a good background to Kenneth, but Kenneth didn’t even look at the girls.
It made those who wanted to get Kenneth a girlfriend worry. Now, he had found a girlfriend himself, so this leader wanted to see her.
He wanted to see what kind of girl could catch Kenneth’s eye.
“Okay, let’s wait a while. She’s still in school. If she’s willing, when winter vacation

comes, I’ll ask her to stay there for a while.” Kenneth didn’t give a definite answer and just said that he would take her over if Cassandra was willing.
“I didn’t expect you to be so henpecked,” the leader teased.
‘Looks like he has to listen to his girlfriend, huh? But people like us do need to listen to our partners. Only in this way can we give them a sense of security. If we can’t even provide this sense of security, what good are we as husbands?‘ the leader thought. Yet, the next moment, he felt there was something wrong with what Kenneth had said.
“You just said your girlfriend is still in school?” the leader said uncertainly. “A graduate student?”
“No, a freshman in college,” Kenneth’s guilty gaze avoided the leader’s.
“Bang!” The leader slammed the table, startling the guards outside.
“Kenneth! You beast! You actually went after a just–of–age girl!” The leader couldn’t contain his anger. A 27–year–old man going after an 18 or 19–year–old girl was unacceptable to him.
Kenneth was speechless. He felt like he had been scolded several times.
He almost doubted if he was robbing the cradle.
“But I really love her,” Kenneth paused. “I will protect myself and try to live one day longer than her, so she won’t be lonely.”
He knew he was nine years older than Cassandra, but he would try to protect himself and try to look younger.
There were masks that Yannick bought in the villa. Kenneth decided he could wear one piece every day. Anyway, Cassandra was his.
The leader’s anger faded but he still muttered, “You really shouldn’t have gone after such a young girl!”
Kenneth accepted it calmly because he also felt he wasn’t supposed to do so, but he just didn’t want to let go.
As long as Cassandra still liked him, he wouldn’t let go.

The leader scolded him for a long time, finally admonishing him, “Treat that girl well. Before she reaches the age, don’t do anything to harm her.”
Kenneth nodded, thinking of Cassandra, his tone becoming gentle. “Yes, I know. When she reaches the age, I will come to you for approval of our marriage.”
The leader immediately smiled when he heard this. “That’s more like it. Treat her well. I feel sorry for that girl.”
Being with such a dumb guy who doesn’t understand girls at all could drive her crazy,‘ he thought.
What he didn’t know was that in front of Cassandra, Kenneth became sexy, considerate, and gentle, and kept his distance from other women.
In Kenneth’s office, as soon as he sat down, Jeremiah, Yannick, and Kayden came
over.
“Ken, you’re back. Cassie is back too, right?” Kayden was the first to speak, voicing out his most concerned question.
Kenneth had come back from Zosteylor, so something must have happened there. Cassandra had already met her biological parents. He didn’t know if she could. accept Uncle’s family.
Anyway, if it were him, he couldn’t accept it, it would be very difficult, really difficult. Their family had been living well in Zosteylor, but they made Cassandra suffer in Clusia.
After understanding the mistakes made in the past, he felt that his grandpa’s behavior was too much. He didn’t blame Cassandra for not wanting to return to the Yates family. If it were him, he wouldn’t want to either.
So, he could really understand Cassandra. Before, he had been blind, selfishly thinking that since she was his sister, she should come home, and let bygones be bygones. But recently, after listening to Jeremiah talk about Cassandra’s past, he realized that not everything could be let go.
He had no right to say such things.
“Yes, she’s back, sleeping at home. She’ll probably sleep until evening.”

It was three o’clock in the afternoon. He would wake her up around six or seven to correct her sleep schedule.
Jeremiah asked, “Who will cure the Queen’s poison?” If the poison wasn’t cured, he worried they might come back to bother Elaine again. Their family’s word was not. reliable.
“Cassie’s mentor Mr. Mccall is there. He’s familiar with the poison of ‘Blue Sky‘ and should be able to prepare the antidote quickly,” Kenneth explained.
“That’s fine. Then, I’ll go back first.” He wanted to go back and see Elaine.
Kenneth’s gaze sharpened, and he spoke coldly, “You still have a mission. Hurry up and do
your task.”
Why was he even replying? He would go back in a moment!
Jeremiah: “… “How come I didn’t know I still had a mission?‘
Kenneth glanced at Yannick, and Yannick immediately understood.
“Jeremiah, just now, an order was issued by the superiors, they want you to…”
Jéremiah looked speechlessly at the sky. He was sure this was deliberate on Kenneth’s part. Kenneth did this intentionally!
“Alright, prepare yourselves. Zosteylor only has four days of ceasefire left. Whether peace or continued war awaits after four days, we can’t say for sure. Stay alert.” Kenneth cautioned seriously, emphasizing the need to remain vigilant.
“We understand, and we’ve been preparing these days.” Yannick reported, “Ethan and Lamont have gone to Zosteylor. If Mr. Yates takes action, they’ll assist him. As long as they perform well, there will be peace in four days. Hugo and Ms. Yates‘ mentor will not have any problems.”
