Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 507

Monique was about to object when Probert went on, "They'll never care about how us kids feel. We're invisible to them, you know. You seem pretty upset, but me? I couldn't care less!"

At that, Fidelia nodded in agreement, "Even my mom doesn't tell me anything. I heard it from a classmate."

"I thought you would hear from your mother.” Hannah chimed in, eager to join the conversation.

"As if she would talk to me about that stuff. She still treats me like I'm a kid!" Fidelia's voice carried a hint of resentment.

"And your dad doesn't ask about you?" Hannah asked with a curious look.

Fidelia glanced up at us, "He's even less interested in what's going on with me!"

Hannah and I exchanged looks, silently wondering who the mysterious "cat's eye" on Fidelia's phone could be.

We all finished our meal in silence, and just as we returned to the living room, my dad came out of his room with a phone in hand, smiling at me, "You're coming with me to VitalAxis Pharmaceuticals today. We've got visitors from Goldenvale Town!"

"Visitors from Goldenvale Town?" I was surprised. "You mean... for a project collaboration?"

He nodded, "Exactly!"

I was genuinely curious about who this visitor might be. "Did they say who it is?"

"Nope," my dad shook his head. "But we have to meet them anyway, right? Business is business!"

Hannah immediately said to me, "Looks like I'll have to cancel my plans with the kids, then."

I quickly reassured her, "You go ahead. It's just an initial meeting. You don't have to be there. Go do your thing!"

Hannah looked uncertain, "Are you sure?"

I nodded confidently, "Absolutely!"

Hannah smiled and left with those children.

Meanwhile, I waited for my dad to finish his meal, then asked Carl for a day off. He clung to Helga, tearfully asking me to come back soon.
