Kadar snorted, but his anger was no match for Jack's icy stare. He remained silent, glaring at his sister and her newfound companion.
Titi's father, attempting to defuse the tension, spoke up. "Jack, what kind of life can you offer our daughter? We want to know that she will be safe and cared for."
Jack's eyes returned to their calm blue hue, his anger dissipating as he addressed Titi's parents. "I promise to protect Titi and do everything in my power to ensure her happiness. We will explore the world together, and I will support her dreams and ambitions."
Titi's mother looked at her daughter, her voice filled with love and concern. "Are you sure this is what you want, Titi?"
Titi met her mother's gaze, her eyes filled with determination. "I am, Mother. I've never been more certain of anything in my life."
Her parents exchanged glances, and after a moment, they nodded in agreement. "Very well," her father said, his voice filled with resignation. "We trust you to take care of our daughter, Jack."
Titi hugged her parents tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Thank you, Father, Mother. I promise I'll make you proud."
Before leaving Titi's family home, Jack reached into his pocket and pulled out a small bag of gold coins. "Here," he said, handing the bag to Titi's father. "This is 30 million Berry worth of gold. Use it to live happily without any worry."
Titi's father stared at the bag, his eyes wide with shock, while Kadar's sinister smile transformed into a warm one as he looked at Jack. However, Jack merely ignored him, focusing on Titi.
Together, they walked away from her family's home and arrived at a secluded spot where they wouldn't be seen. Jack turned to Titi, his calm blue eyes serious. "Titi, I'm going to introduce you to my family. But there's something you need to know first. There's a special place I have access to—a pocket space. I ask that you keep this secret and never tell anyone about it."
Titi nodded, her eyes wide with curiosity and wonder. "I promise, Jack."
With that, Jack revealed the entrance to the pocket space—an isolated island where his family lived. Titi gasped as they stepped into the otherworldly place, her eyes darting around the lush landscape in awe.
Once inside, Jack introduced Titi to his family. First, there was Aria, his five-year-old daughter. She was a lively little girl with bright eyes and a smile that could light up the room. Aria ran up to Jack, calling out, "Daddy!" He scooped her up into his arms, calling her "Princess" with an affectionate smile.
Next was Amelia, Aria's mother, who greeted Titi warmly. There was also Robin, a two-year-old girl who was Jack's surrogate daughter. Her wide eyes sparkled with curiosity, and she babbled excitedly, copying the words others said around her. Robin's mother, Olvia, smiled at the newcomers, her gaze filled with love for her daughter.
Jack's own mother, Liana, approached Titi with a welcoming embrace, followed by his sister, Luna. They were both kind and gentle, making Titi feel immediately at ease in their presence. Sophie, Jack's childhood friend, and Isabella, Sophie's mother, were also part of the family, and they greeted Titi with warmth and enthusiasm.
As Titi met each member of Jack's family, she could feel the love and care they had for one another. It was a stark contrast to Jack's usual cold demeanor. Here, surrounded by the people who mattered most to him, his calm blue eyes held a tenderness that he reserved only for them.
After the introductions, Titi sat down with Jack and his family, getting to know them better. They shared stories and laughter, and Titi found herself feeling more and more at home among them. It was clear that Jack's family was supportive of her decision to join him in exploring the world, and they welcomed her as one of their own.
As the day wore on, Titi noticed how Jack's character changed in the presence of his family. Though he remained calm and collected, there was a warmth and openness to him that was rarely seen outside of this pocket space. He grinned, smirked, and laughed when the situation called for it, but the emotions he showed here were deeper and more genuine than any she had seen from him before.
With his daughter Aria, Jack was especially tender and affectionate. He doted on her, calling her "Princess" and indulging her every whim. Titi could see the fierce love and devotion he had for the little girl, and it touched her heart.
As the sun began to set, Jack walked with Titi along the island's shoreline, their footsteps leaving prints in the soft sand. The waves lapped gently at the shore, providing a soothing background melody to their conversation.
"Jack, thank you for bringing me here," Titi said, her voice filled with gratitude. "Your family is wonderful, and I feel so welcomed by them."
Jack looked at her, his calm blue eyes reflecting the warm hues of the sunset. "I'm glad you feel that way, Titi. They're important to me, and I wanted you to meet them before we set off on our journey."
As they walked, Titi couldn't help but notice the change in Jack's demeanor since they arrived in the pocket space. "Jack, you seem... different here, with your family. I've never seen this side of you before."
A slight smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Yes, well, my family brings out the best in me. It's not often that I can let my guard down and simply enjoy their company."
Titi hesitated before asking her next question, her curiosity getting the better of her. "Why do you keep this pocket space a secret?"
Jack's expression turned serious, his eyes searching the horizon. "The world is a dangerous place, Titi. This pocket space is a sanctuary for my family—a safe haven where they can live without fear. If word got out about its existence, it would put them in danger."
Titi nodded, understanding the gravity of his words. "I promise, Jack, I won't tell a soul."
Jack looked at her, his calm blue eyes meeting hers, and nodded. "Thank you, Titi."
As they continued walking along the shore, Titi couldn't help but feel a newfound sense of belonging. She knew that leaving her old life behind wouldn't be easy, but with Jack and his family by her side, she felt ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
