“Thank you. This will be fine.”
“Good, the restroom is just to the left. Hurry up and go, I’ll wait for you here.”
The men’s jacket, which Jane was now wearing, was large and covered the stained area on her pants.
It smelled different from Tom’s clothes.
Tom’s clothes always had a delicate cologne fragrance, but his jacket had a clean minty scent, with a faint hint of sunshine.
When Jane came out of the restroom, Sean was still waiting there.
He was crouched on the ground, playing with a little child, who seemed to be enjoying themselves, dancing happily. It was clear the child liked him very much.
“Sean.”
Sean looked up and smiled at her, explaining, “The little one’s mom went to the restroom, so I’m just watching him for a while.”
Jane was surprised. “Do you know his mother?”
“No.”
“Then how is she so comfortable leaving him with you?”
Sean seemed a bit troubled by the question. “I’m not sure either. Whenever I go out, people always ask me for directions or ask for help.”
Jane could understand. Sean was a very gentle person, thoughtful and kind.
He and Tom were completely different types.
“Jane, I want to tell you something.”
“Go ahead.”
“I like you.”
Jane suddenly looked up.
Sean also seemed a little embarrassed but gathered the courage to say, “Actually, I liked you back in university. But there was the misunderstanding with the love letter, and then I was suddenly sent abroad for work, so I didn’t get a chance to tell you. When Mr. Westwood told me you finally agreed to develop abroad, I was really happy.”
Jane wasn’t really surprised.
Since coming to Miran, although Sean had been quite nice to her. His actions had already far exceeded what a casual acquaintance would do.
She wasn’t a child, she had probably guessed.
To be fair, she didn’t reject Sean. In fact, she thought he was a really good person.
But she hadn’t expected him to confess so soon.
Jane asked, “We haven’t known each other for long, don’t you think this is too soon?”
Sean replied, “Life is too short. Because I wasn’t brave before, we were separated for seven years. This time, I don’t want to keep hiding in the dark, secretly liking you. I want to tell you how I feel. I’ve mentally prepared for

rejection, but I don’t want to keep things quiet anymore. That will only make us miss even more.”
This made Jane’s heart stir.
Yes, she had liked Tom for so many years, waiting for his confession.
But things didn’t have to be so hard, right?
She could have taken the initiative to tell Tom how she felt Even if he rejected her, their relationship would still be as it was.
“Jane, you don’t have to answer me right away. You can think it over.”
Jane said, “I…”
Before she could finish, she was suddenly pulled into a familiar embrace with great force.
As the familiar cologne fragrance filled her nose, Jane recognized him immediately.
His embrace was the most familiar thing to her.
But after just a few days, she felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
“It’s really you. You’re fine, that’s great. Come on, let’s go
Home…”
Sean asked, “Jane, who is this?”
Jane pushed Tom away, creating a careful distance between them, and calmly introduced, “Let me introduce you to my brother.”
