I may have been mistaken. Perhaps she chose to hide herself, burdened by guilt toward both of us. But in my misguided suspicions, I accused you. I should not have done so. You have just suffered the loss of your child..." Forrest confessed, his voice tinged with remorse.

Seizing the opportunity, Divya pressed herself against him, her voice a soft murmur, "Forrest, your trust in me sets my heart ablaze."

Forrest's gaze turned warm as he lowered his head. "I know you. I trust you. Let's return home.”

With Isaac's time running short and Alick preoccupied, he had no choice but to embark on the search for Laura alone, regardless of her fate.

Forrest's sudden tenderness caught Divya off guard, filling her with both surprise and worry.

The unfamiliarity of his actions left her questioning reality.

She pinched her arm hard, seeking confirmation.

It hurt.

The pain shot through her.

That was tangible confirmation that this was no dream.

Forrest truly treated her with kindness.

Opening her eyes wide, she said, “Forrest, I am grateful for your trust. I swear I am innocent of any involvement in Laura's disappearance, and I bear no responsibility for the banner's placement. .

“Enough. I acted rashly. Let it be forgotten." He motioned for her to enter his car and added, "Instruct the driver to return your car."

Divya vigorously nodded. "Sure."

She stole glances at Forrest.

Her long-standing infatuation was swelling within her.

She Liked Forrest.

It was more of a deep affection.

Sensing her gaze on him, Forrest nearly succumbed to the impulse of inquiring about Laura.

But he controlled himself.

Now was not the time.

To probe would only alert Divya.

He had no choice but to exercise patience, for no one was helping him. Divya's heart raced.

Her hand yearned to reach out to Forrest.

"I'm driving," Forrest responded.
