Agatha watched Felix as he typed on his tablet, holding both Felix and Sunshine's hands gently. She gazed at Felix with a serious look, attempting to reassure him.
"Felix, you don't have to dwell on this. Just ask yourself if you want to live with him."
Felix shook his head. He didn't want to. His dad used to be less intimidating. He didn't like his dad now. He was a small man and wanted to protect his mom.
"But..." Sunshine tilted her head and asked, "What if Felix's dad insists on taking him?"
Sunshine's concerns mirrored Felix's. They were just kids and couldn't stand up to him.
"You're both kids, and you don't need to worry so much. With us adults here, you can make any decision you want."
Despite Agatha's reassurance, Felix and Sunshine remained unhappy.
It wasn't until Jacob's birthday cake arrived that Felix and Sunshine, led by Agatha, joined the guests. Sunshine sang the birthday song in her adorable voice while Felix mouthed the words.
The birthday party concluded perfectly. The guests who had come to celebrate left like a wave, and the grand castle returned to tranquility.
Bradley approached Steffan. The two handsome men stood facing each other under the moonlight.
Xara feared they might start a fight. She knew that Steffan wasn't the type of scholarly man without any combat skills. If Bradley tried to play dirty, Steffan wouldn't hold back.
"Mr. Warner, have a seat for a chat," Steffan said.
Bradley gave Steffan a cold glance. He had researched the Sandersons before coming. He couldn't comprehend what Esther had done to make Steffan protect Felix like that.
Steffan reassured the anxious Xara, "Sweetheart, go check on Felix. He may not be feeling well tonight."
