He turned to me and said, "Why don't you go change and rest for a while? Dylan and I need to go out. We might not make it back for lunch, but I'll join you for dinner. After eating, you can take a nap until I return, okay?"
"Sure," I replied meekly. I could sense that Atlas had important matters to attend to since we returned here.
He swiftly left with Dylan, and I watched their car disappear into the rain.
As expected, Atlas didn't return for lunch with me.
However, with Sandy and Iris keeping me company, I didn't feel lonely at all. In fact, I was quite content.
They entertained me with stories, although I couldn't recall any of the events they described. Still, I found their tales exciting.
To be honest, the more I learned, the more intrigued I became by the estate currently under Celine's control.
After lunch, Sandy suggested I take a short nap upstairs. I simply agreed and went back to my room.
I checked the time, and it was about 3 p.m. back home. After a moment's thought, I called Lauren.
She answered quickly and asked, "Are you doing okay?"
"Everything's fine."
"How's his grandfather?" Lauren inquired further.
"Nothing much. It was a false alarm Celine caused.”
Lauren sighed with relief on the other end of the line. "What's she up to this time?"
I pondered for a moment before responding, "It might not necessarily be her idea."
"What do you mean?" Lauren asked.
