However, Kallie quickly withdrew from Jake's embrace and shook her head. “Not now, Jake. Sophie's here." Jake raised a finger to his lips, signaling her to stay quiet. Kallie peeked at their daughter, realizing Sophie had already dozed off, resting against Jake. He was softly patting Sophie's back, soothing her in her sleep.

I thought these skills might cin handy someday, so I learned them privately," Jake replied, gazing lovingly at their daughter. "I never imagined I'd actually use them." Turning back to Kallie, Jake said, “You can take a nap. We've got another twenty minutes before we arrive, and I'll make sure we're back in tfor the shoot."

Kallie was leaning on Jake's shoulder, and Sophie was asleep with her head resting on his lap. Edgar felt a mix of awe and emotion. Jake finally felt the warmth of a family.
Instead of opting for a high-end restaurant, Jake selected a highly-rated local specialty eatery. Due to its popularity, even the private rooms at the restaurant were booked a month in advance. As they exited the car, Kallie couldn't help but admire Jake's thoughtfulness; he had slipped off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. The temperature swings between day and night were drastic here, and the chilly evening breeze made it easy to catch a cold.
With one arm around Kallie and the other holding Sophie's hand, Jake led them in. After taking a few steps, Kallie suddenly halted and looked up. "Wait. You're not wearing a mask." Jake nodded calmly. "Yes, but it's fine. We're not familiar faces here. I'm not worried about being recognized." Kallie disagreed. "You've been very cautious ever since you returned. Why risk everything over one careless moment?" Jake simply smiled in response. Edgar stepped forward to clarify, "Don't worry, ma'am. He is preparing to remarry you and give you a stable home. We've sped up our plans and gathered all the evidence we need. Now, we're just waiting for Stan to walk into our trap." Jake gently tucked a strand of hair behind Kallie's ear. “Honey, once you've sorted everything out and returned to Burmoos, you won't have to worry about threats anymore." Kallie's heart fluttered with emotion. A soft blush spread across her cheeks as she clung tightly to Jake's hand, savoring the comfort of his touch.
