Chapter 2967
"' Mom, really, there's no need to trouble everyone. I'll be home soon. Let's not talk about it anymore." Ellar ended the call, feeling he couldn't hold on much longer if they kept talking.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, leaning back in his seat and gazing at Patricia's window.
For him, these moments weren't about pain; they were filled with a bittersweet feeling.
At the Riddle family manor, the atmosphere was warm and lively. The family was together, enjoying each other’s company.
After the call, Emma informed Benjamin, "Dad, Ellar's still tied up with work. He really can't come tonight."
Benjamin wasn't upset. In fact, he was quite pleased with Ellar's commitment. "It's good that he's dedicated to his career."
Dillon suggested to Benjamin, "Dad, it's getting late. We should all head home, and you need to rest."
Daniel and Dexter agreed, "Yes, Dad, we'll leave now and come back another day."
Nolan and Lana, sweetly saying goodbye to Benjamin, added, "We're going now, great-grandpa."
Benjamin, smiling broadly, hugged them and replied, Make sure to visit me again during the holidays."
"Okay," Nolan and Lana nodded obediently.
After bidding farewell to Benjamin, everyone slowly left the Riddle family manor.
The living room quieted down as Dillon and Karen said to Benjamin, "Dad, everyone's gone home. You should rest too."
"Okay," Benjamin agreed. He was quite tired, especially after playing with Nolan and Lana.
After helping Benjamin upstairs, Dillon and Karen went to their room.
Meanwhile, Nolan and Lana quickly fell asleep in the car on the way home.
