Katelyn didn’t mind, though. It was Hades’ first time dining alone with Vincent, and he had no idea what she was or wasn’t used to. Just as Katelyn considered swapping her steak, already cut into smaller pieces, Vincent gently slid a plate of neatly sliced steak toward Hades.
“I’ve already cut this one. It’s all yours,” he said, his tone surprisingly warm, leaving Hades momentarily speechless. Fresh chapters posted on f?ndnovel.net
She nervously responded, “Thank you, Mr. Adams.”
However, Katelyn didn’t miss the flush that rose in Hades’ ears. Sitting across from Vincent—handsome, wealthy, and quietly charming—few could maintain their composure, especially when he revealed such a softer side.
At that moment, a tiny spark of worry flickered in Katelyn’s chest. Vincent wasn’t easy to fool; he had a sharp eye and a knack for asking just the right questions. She reminded herself to stay alert, ready for anything.
Vincent went back to cutting his own steak, his hands moving like those of a pianist—steady and graceful—turning even this simple act into something refined.
Hades couldn’t help but steal glances, her pulse quickening as she took in the sight of him. There was no denying it—sitting across from someone like him felt like a dream.
And just then, Vincent looked up, ready with his next question.
“We’ve known each other for some time now, but I still don’t know how old you are this year,” Vincent said casually, catching Katelyn off guard for a brief moment.
When she switched to her Hades persona, Katelyn had never shared any personal details with Vincent, only speaking to him about medical matters. What had prompted Vincent to ask about her age all of a sudden?
A sudden sense of unease washed over Katelyn. Surprised by the question, Hades impulsively replied, “I’m twenty.”

Katelyn’s heart raced, her pulse quickening. Oh no, this couldn’t be happening. Could it be that her help had been swayed by Vincent’s charm? Who would ever believe that someone as famous as Hades was still just twenty?
Hades had always kept her age a secret, but her calm presence and expert medical skills always made others guess she was in her forties. This new information would only add to Vincent’s growing doubts.
Below the table, Katelyn quietly gripped Hades’ hand, sending a secret warning.
Vincent’s expression shifted to one of deep thought, and he said deliberately, “You’re so young, yet your medical expertise is remarkable. If people knew your true age, it would surely shock even the most experienced doctors.”
Hades, receiving Katelyn’s discreet signal, quickly tried to cover up. “Age and names are just labels to me. Whenever someone asks something personal, I like to mix things up and give different answers.”
