âHow do you know his name?â Kas suddenly became very wary, âAre you someone sent by the royal palace? No, youâre a foreigner⦠No, the King also has a foreigner by his sideâ¦â
Tan Rou silently listened to Kas talking to himself and didnât interrupt him.
When he finished speaking, Tan Rou asked, âFirst, tell me, is Ajila your son?â
After hesitating for a moment, Kas nodded and said, âYes, he is indeed my son.â
âSo the rich young ladyâs true identity is the princess?â Tan Rou guessed their relationship in an instant.
Ajila is the son of the princess; the princess is Kasâs lover; Kas is the gardener in the story.
The information overload was too much for Tan Rou to digest at the moment. She pressed her brow and asked, âHow can you prove your relationship with the princess?â
âI canât prove it,â Kas shook his head and said, âI donât want to prove our relationship either because my existence will only bring them trouble. Today, when I saw Ajila down there, I just wanted to take him out for a bit and then send him back. He lives in the royal palace and has never seen the outside sky.â
âYour words sound rather sad, but have you ever considered why Ajila is here instead of inside the palace?â Tan Rou thought both parents were unreliable. The child was lost, yet the mother didnât search, and the first reaction of the father upon seeing the child was to send him back. Didnât they care about why the child was at the hotel?

Kas became alarmed by Tan Rouâs words and after coming to his senses, asked anxiously, âDid something happen to Samiyi? Did the King discover my contact with Samiyi and cast Ajila out? What about Samiyi? Did the King give her trouble?â
Tan Rou said, âHow would I know how Princess Samiyi is doing? Iâm not from your country; how can I enter the royal palace? As for this little boy, I found him at an international airport. He said heâs from Country J, and his mother is a princess, so I brought him back. I was planning to take him to the police station, but I couldnât find it here, and it got delayed.â
âDonât take him to the police station; I can take him awayâ¦â halfway through speaking, Kas dismissed his decision, âNo, Ajila cannot go with me. If he goes with me, he will live under a shadow for the rest of his life, without a birth certificate, without an ID card, Ajila wonât even be able to go to schoolâ¦â
Tan Rou thought to herself, even though he doesnât have anything, he still managed to hop on a plane and travel six thousand kilometers away. Heâs way more capable than both of you as parents.
âSo youâre just going to abandon him?â Tan Rou asked, âDoes he recognize you?â
Kas replied, âSamiyi must have shown him my photo, so he recognized me as soon as I approached, but he didnât call me âdad.â He just urged me to go find his mom quickly and tell her that Ajila is still alive.â
Tan Rou rolled her eyes, âA child has more sense than both of you, while you two are still playing out a love drama behind walls. Your son has secretly boarded a plane and flown six thousand kilometers away.â
Kas was dumbfounded when he heard that Ajila had run off so far, âWhatâs he doing so far away?â
âI donât know,â Tan Rou said, âMaybe he didnât want to cause trouble for his mom, or maybe he missed his dad.â
Kasâs eyes reddened, and he punched the sandy ground forcefully, saying angrily, âIâm worthless!â
Tan Rou commented, âIndeed.â
It was too hot outside, and Tan Rou couldnât just leave Kas there alone. After applying the ointment on him, she asked, âDo you want to see Ajila? I can take you to him.â
âYes!â Kas immediately agreed, âI was just trying to take him out, but his door was locked from the outside, and he couldnât open it.â
Tan Rou explained, âThat was my arrangement. Heâs just a child, and his identity is quite sensitive. If something happened to him here, we couldnât handle it. So when we left, we locked the door from the outside. Donât worry, inside thereâs food, drinks, and a bathroom. Heâs definitely more comfortable there than outside.â
Kas expressed his gratitude, âThank you, foreign girl! May I know your name?â
Tan Rou responded indifferently, âTan Rou.â
