Arnold looked bewildered. He knew that Mia had recovered from her skin condition and had returned to the family estate, but he couldn't fathom why she had brought James along.
"You should have come home alone! There was no need to bring this person!" Arnold pointed at James, the disdain etched clearly across his face.
"I’m only stopping by for a moment, Dad. I need to pick up some important belongings and say my goodbyes. I’m moving in with James."
"Living with James?" Max blurted out, incredulous. "Why would you live with him? Is this man threatening you?"
"James isn't threatening me. But it’s settled—I’m staying with him," Mia replied firmly.
Arnold glared at James. "James, what have you done to my daughter to make her act like this?"
"Nothing at all," James answered casually.
