His mind drifted back to his own past. His wife had passed away two years ago due to an unknown illness, leaving him to raise their son alone.

Ethan glanced at Karl, who was watching him carefully with narrowed baby-blue eyes, his arms folded in a protective stance.

Ruby gave them both a polite smile. "Nice to meet you."
