Tan arrived alone.
He had just gotten there when Mia showed up a few minutes later,
The moment lan saw her, his eyes darkened as if he wanted to say something. But Mia completely ignored him and turned to Lena instead. “Lena, isn’t your brother coming today?”
“He said he’s on his way,” Lena replied.
Just then, Mia caught sight of a couple walking toward them from distance. She nudged Lena and pointed. “Hey, doesn’t that guy look like your brother?”
Lena glanced over. “That is my brother.”
Mia’s eyes widened. “Wait–who’s the girl with him? Don’t tell me that’s the college student he’s been dating?”
Charlotte, Lena, and Mia exchanged looks.
A moment later, Jordan approached them with the girl in tow.
Ian smiled. “Jordan, aren’t you going to introduce us? Who’s this?”
Jordan chuckled. “This is my girlfriend, Liz Stewart.”
Liz was undeniably pretty. She had long, straight hair, big eyes, and fair skin. She was petite–maybe around five–foot–three- with a slim frame and a soft, demure presence. Her light blue dress made her look even more like a sweet, well–mannered girl.
“Hi,” she said, her voice soft and slightly nervous.
She was the definition of a picture–perfect soft girl.
Everyone greeted her with warm, polite smiles.
None of them had expected Jordan’s new girlfriend to be this sweet and gentle. His past girlfriends–whether actresses or models–had all been bold, sexy, and strikingly mature.
But this time, it seemed like he had completely changed his taste.
“Looks like everyone’s here. Let’s head in,” Lena said cheerfully.
Since they had VIP tickets, they skipped the line and went straight through the express entrance.
Mia took the lead, walking quickly as if she were still mad at Ian and deliberately trying to keep her distance from him.
Charlotte and Sean followed closely behind, walking side by side.
Ian picked up his pace to try to catch up to Mia.
Lena walked behind him.
Jordan and Liz brought up the rear, walking hand in hand.
“Don’t be nervous,” Jordan said softly. “They’re all really easy to get along with.”
Liz gave a small nod. “Okay.”
Up ahead, Lena froze in surprise.
“Was that really my brother? Since when has he ever been this gentle?” she wondered.
She had never seen him treat anyone like this before. Most of his past relationships didn’t even last three months. Once the novelty wore off, he would turn cold and distant. One girl even showed up saying she was pregnant, and he had dismissed her

with a cold check.
Lena still remembered when her brother dated a B–list actress two years ago. That woman was absolutely stunning, but even with someone that beautiful, Jordan had never shown much warm. He was as cold and distant as ever.
But now? This college girl?
They had been dating for over six months. Lena clearly remembered how casual her brother had been about it in the beginning He had brushed it off like it was just a fling, saying he wasn’t planning on getting married anytime soon.
And yet here they were. Not only had they not broken up, he had actually brought her to meet the group.
“Wait… is he actually serious this time? Did my brother fall in love for real? Tsk. Guess this one’s the real deal,” Lena thought. Mia, always the thrill–seeker, tugged on Lena and Charlotte’s arms. “Come on, let’s ride the roller coaster!”
Lena, who couldn’t handle scary rides, waved her off with a nervous laugh. “You guys go ahead. I really can’t. I might be able to handle the jungle train, but if I get on that coaster, I’ll probably faint.”
