The car stopped in front of the private airport the Yue clan exclusively used. Raine creased her forehead when Tyrone followed her inside the airplane.
"What do you think you're doing?" Raine asked when Tyrone comfortably sat beside her.
"Dropping you off at country D. Don't worry, I'll fly back here after I make sure you reach your destination safe and sound," Tyrone casually commented.
Raine's eyebrows snapped as she murmured, "I need you to stay here. Why are you being stubborn, huh? You're being clingy again…"
"I'm your bodyguard, remember? Protecting you is my top priority," Tyrone reasoned. "Why do I even need to be left behind when Lyne and the rest can manage the situation? Also, you said it yourself… Nothing will happen to Xander under the Earth Clan's protection," he stated, but it was not actually the main reason he was there.
"Daddy is right, Mommy. He must stay beside you. And, of course, with me as well since I want to hang out more with you and Daddy but I'm always left behind," Aire's voice chimed in, shocking Raine.
"You… Why are you here!?" Raine blurted out in disbelief. She couldn't believe how everyone was being stubborn to her right now! First Tyrone, and now Aire? How did this little pup even manage to sneak in without her knowing!?
Tyrone sighed. Aire had insisted that the three of them spent their remaining days together. She only had three days left before the Voyager's Watch pulled her back to her era.
"Mommy, you're always busy. If I tell you that I want to come with you, I'm sure you won't let me. So instead, I asked Daddy Tyrone to bring me with you guys. Promise I'll behave and be a good girl?" Aire pleadingly explained with her puppy eyes. Raine could only sigh.
"Geez, you two… I'll just check on something in country D before flying to Plumeria Island next. Don't tell me you plan to come with me there as well?" Raine questioned in disbelief, though she could already tell that she was right.
"Aire can come as a wolf pet with you while I'll be your secretary. Just like how I'm your secretary at Yang Globals hospital…" Tyrone commented with a reassuring smile.
The pilot announced that the plane was about to take off from the intercom. The flight attendant assisted them to their seats. There was no point in kicking these two stubborn werewolves out of the plane now, so Raine just let them go with her.
"Fine…" she murmured in defeat.
Aire hugged her tightly that instant. "Thank you, Mommy," she said followed, by giving a kiss on Raine's cheek.
Eventually, a sweet smile replaced Raine's frown as she turned her other cheek, signaling Aire to kiss it as well. Aire gladly kissed her and both of them giggled. Tyrone, who sat in front of them, shook his head with a smile. The two looked so adorable…
He let out another long sigh. Despite the heartaches he was going through and would go through in the future, Aire was one solid piece of evidence that everything would turn out well in the end. He would surely succeed in convincing Raine to stay with him. He only needed to bide his time and exercise great patience.
Well, hopefully, it would be enough. He actually didn't know the details about such a thing because he didn't bother to ask Aire about it, knowing full well that it would have a side effect on Aire if she ever said words and did actions that could alter what was already written in their fates and destinies.
He was just glad that Aire listened to him in not doing something risky like marking her mate, which was her main goal for coming to their era in the first place.
"So tell me, Aire. Do you want to continue studying? Go to school like normal kids when school opens?" Raine asked as she stroked Aire's curly hair. She was so fond of her, and she honestly had that feeling that Aire really was her own daughter. Maybe it was because she saw many similarities between them?
Aire let out a long sigh at her question, so Raine asked further, "What's wrong? You don't want to go back to school?"
"Nothing, Mommy. It's just that I can't wait to stay with you and Daddy for longer… By the way, I heard Plumeria Island is a nice place. I'm sure we'll all like our stay there while you do some of your work. You don't need to mind me since I can keep myself busy with Daddy, or maybe play around with the other wolves in the forest of the island."
"Hmm, don't worry, Mommy will make time to play with you, of course. I'm sorry if I'm often busy," Raine apologetically said. She almost forgot about Aire's situation when her father eventually woke up. And Janus' experiments in differentiating humans from mutants were also practically completed as well.
'So many things to do,' Raine helplessly mused.
Tyrone noticed how Raine's expression changed, but it was so quick that she instantly smiled again as she continued talking with Aire. Tyrone could only watch the two with a satisfying smile.
Just barely an hour into their flight, Aire was already asleep. In response, Tyrone moved and said, "I'll carry her inside the cabin and put her on the bed."
Raine nodded and watched Tyrone carry Aire in his arms. Funny how the three of them looked like a real family… How Tyrone looked so good in being a father...
Soon after, Tyrone came back and sat beside her.
"How dare you two sneak up on me like that?" Raine scoffed.
Tyrone only chuckled, "Our daughter begged me, so how can I say no?"
'Our daughter?' The words rang lovingly in her ears, and it was honestly so satisfying to hear. However, Raine chose not to comment about it. She only shook her head and mumbled, "Don't spoil her too much."
"That won't do. I'm already planning on spoiling you and Aire with all my might…" Tyrone boasted with a grin.
Raine could only heave out a long deep sigh. Tyrone always sounded confident. She found herself wondering where all of his confidence came from? As much as she wanted to, however, deep in her heart, she loved hearing those kinds of genuine words coming out from him.
He grabbed her hand, clasping their fingers together as he raised it to his lips, kissing her knuckles as he whispered, "Everything will be fine…"
