"Alright, time to head back. Be careful on the road, and don't forget to let us know when you've made it to J City," Old Mr. Jarvis advised.
"Will do!" Magdalen's bright smile shone as she hugged Estelle for a moment longer before getting into the car and driving off.
It wasn't until Magdalen had left that Sylvia sensed something was amiss. So, Magdalen's entire trip was actually about bringing her here. And there she was, somewhat bewildered, agreeing to stay for the New Year. Why should an outsider like her stay with the Jarvis family for the holidays?
Whenever she saw a certain someone, her mind just stopped working.
Seeing Sylvia lost in thought, Gabriel turned to her, "What are you thinking about? Let's head back!"
"Oh!" Sylvia looked up, startled.
Old Mr. Jarvis called Sylvia over, "Young lady, come here!"
Sylvia immediately walked over, "Grandpa!"
Old Mr. Jarvis smiled, "Estelle will be busy keeping me and Jonathan company. She might not be able to look after you all the time. So, while you're staying with us, let Gab look after you. Anything you need, you can ask him!"
Gabriel raised an eyebrow.
"What's that look?" Old Mr. Jarvis immediately chided.
Glancing at Sylvia, Gabriel replied calmly, "A look of agreement!"
Only then did Old Mr. Jarvis smile, asking Sylvia, "Young lady, you don't mind, do you?"
Sylvia responded, "Of course not, it's just that I'll be troubling Mr. Carnes."
Gabriel put on a serious face, "It's no trouble at all."
"No one can predict the future," Estelle said with a soft smile. "But for now, everyone is happy."
Sylvia's eyes were gentle, "Thank you, Estelle."
"Don't mention it. While you're here, consider it your home. At least, that's how I see you—as a part of the family."
Looking into Estelle's clear, calm eyes, Sylvia felt the restlessness in her heart slowly settle.
As they walked along the porch, they spotted Coco perched on the railing.
Estelle introduced, "This is Coco, my chatty little buddy!"
Sylvia laughed, "Coco, huh?"
