The villa looked more stunning in the sun at Kelsington Bay.
Ivan was playing chess with Alfie and Diana in the living room on the second floor. He was kind with a nice smile on his face which looked nothing like that cruel boss at the office usually.
Alfie and Diana were quite good at playing chess as they had been practicing with their mom.
After one round of chess, Ivan took out two strawberry-flavored lollipops, "Good for you! There's my boy and girl!"
"Thanks, daddy!"
They took the lollipops excitedly, tore off the wrapping paper, and shoved them into their mouth. The sweetness made their day!
"Yum!"
"That's my favorite flavor!"
"Don't let mommy know, okay?" Ivan said to them again, "You can get cavities from candy. She won't let you have it."
"Daddy, how do you know?" Diana was confused, "Mommy has never allowed us to eat candies before."
Alfie stared at Ivan and while blinking his eyes, "Are you in mommy's head? Do you know everything mommy thinks?"
Ivan touched their heads while smiling. He would love to be in Jennifer's head.
"Tomorrow you are gonna go to the kindergarten. You wanna go back here or home after school?" Ivan asked about their opinions.
Alfie replied first, "Daddy and mommy are here. So we'll be back here. We are family and family are supposed to be together."
"And grandma will be happy if we come here," Diana added.
Ivan nodded, "Okay then. Come here after school."
Catherine stopped her car in front of the main building of her office and she was still in a good mood when she got off the car. She wasn't normally like this, as she usually presented herself as an aloof executive in the company.
But today in the staff's eyes, she looked like she had won a lottery.
"What's wrong with her?"
"I've been here for five years and I never saw her like this."
"That's odd!"
A few female staff saw her walking into the lobby and they were whispering about her.
