When Dawn and Ethan came downstairs, they found the two old ladies and the little boy in the living room, playing with a remote–control car, smiling in a perfectly harmonious scene.

“Oh–hey, Dawn.”

Tara stood up with a smile. “Are you two heading out?”

Dawn snapped out of her daze. “Mrs. Jackson … why are you here?”

“Oh.” Tara’s eyes shifted slightly, but her tone stayed natural. “I didn’t have much going on, so

I thought I’d stop by to see you. I haven’t seen you in ages, after all.”

She walked over and took Dawn’s hand. “What’s wrong? Don’t you miss me?”

“I do.”

Dawn smiled. “I really do.”

“Well, there you go.”

Tara’s gaze flicked toward Benjamin on the couch. “I really clicked with this kid… He’s been living here lately, right? Then I might as well stay and look after him for you, so you two can go do your own things.”

Dawn’s breath hitched, and she didn’t know how to respond.

So it’s not just Ethan.

Hannah probably told Tara, and she must assume Benjamin is one of the Jacksons.

She bit her lip quietly and decided she had to find a chance to explain it clearly.

She didn’t mind Ethan thinking that, but not an elder.

“Okay.”

Dawn forced a small smile. “We’re heading out today. Do you wanna join us?”

“No, no.” Tara glanced at Ethan, then shook her head. “You young people go have fun. I won’t tag along. Go on. But come back early. I’ll make dinner and wait for you.”

“Okay.”

Dawn agreed with a smile, then reached out to the little one.

“Benjamin, let’s go out.”

Benjamin immediately dropped the toy in his hands, jumped up, and ran into Dawn’s arms.

Seeing that, Tara’s heart jumped. She reminded him sofily, “Sweetheart, be careful when you walk from now on. Don’t fall, and don’t bump into your mommy, okay?”

Benjamin answered, “Okay, Grandma.”

When Dawn heard him call her that, her pupils unconsciously shrank.

Looks like Mrs. Jackson … settled into the role very fast.

And this little brat really accepts everyone without question!

Dawn followed them absentmindedly and nearly ran into the door. Ethan reacted quickly and lifted his hand to block it.

Dawn looked up suddenly and realized what she’d almost done.

Her face burned. “Thank you.”

Ethan gave her a long, meaningful look.

“Watch where you’re going.”

Once they got in the car, Benjamin sang the whole way, occasionally throwing out difficult questions to the two in front. “Daddy, Mommy, do I sound good?”

Dawn felt like her ears were ringing. “It’s nice, but can you rest for a bit, sweetie?”

Ethan curved his lips slightly and looked at the boy in the rearview mirror. His mouth was sticking out, clearly catching the hint in Dawn’s words.

He said gently, “Benjamin, you can take a nap.”

“But I’m not sleepy.”

“If you sleep now, you’ll have enough energy to play later. Otherwise, today’s trip to the amusement park won’t be worth it.”

Benjamin thought about it seriously for two seconds and then nodded. “That makes sense.” Even so, he couldn’t fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.

Dawn had just enjoyed a moment of quiet when she heard a crisp voice from behind. “Mommy, don’t you miss Daddy?”

This “Daddy” was clearly not the one beside her

Dawn stole a glance at the man’s expression but stayed silent.

Benjamin didn’t realize at all how awkward his words were. He sighed like a little grown–up. “I kind of miss Daddy. Why doesn’t he come see us?”

If he really showed up, we’d be screwed.

Aidan isn’t easy to deal with either. If he and Ethan end up in the same room, who knows what would happen?

Dawn thought to herself, but kept her expression calm. “Go to sleep.”

“I don’t want to!” Benjamin suddenly dug in his heels and huffed stubbornly. “I don’t want to go to the amusement park anymore. How about we go see Daddy instead?”

Dawn frowned and turned to look at him. “Why can’t you make up your mind? You shouldn’t go back on your word.”

Most importantly, Aidan is so busy that he hasn’t even gone home. Who knows where he even is?

Benjamin crossed his arms and huffed. “Did you abandon your husband or something?”

Ethan had stayed silent the whole time, his face unreadable.

But when Benjamin said that last line, Dawn clearly saw the man’s knuckles turn whit steering wheel, as if he might crush it.

She sighed quietly and coaxed him patiently. “Benjamin, isn’t the amusement park nice? Ethan and I are going to play with you. Your daddy is very busy. If we go see him, we need to schedule it in advance.”

Benjamin smacked his lips a couple of times, like he was seriously processing her words.

“So you’re saying … even if we go back, we still won’t see Daddy?”

“Yeah.”

“Then, when will Daddy come see us?”

“When he finishes his work.”

“Okay, then.” Benjamin barely accepted it. After pause, he added, “Then I’m calling him tonight!”
