What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 121

Kaia paused, digging into her pocket for a moment. Finally, she opened her handbag, found a business card, and handed it over.

Simon Quinn's eyes held a hint of a smile as he took it. "Anna, say goodbye to Kaia. See you another time."

Anna Quinn immediately waved her little hand. "Bye, Kaia. Bye, Brynlee."

"Bye, Mr. Quinn! Bye, Anna!" Brynlee Sanders waved happily.

Kaia put the card back in her bag and took Brynlee to greet her teacher.

At noon, Kaia had originally planned to take Brynlee to her parents' place for lunch, but the little girl seemed very worried about the sick person at home and insisted on checking on him first.

Kaia couldn't say no to her, so she drove them back.

As the car pulled into the driveway of Oakhaven Estates, Kaia saw a white Bentley parked in what was usually her parking spot. It was Noelle Lawrence's car.

Kaia's eyes turned cold. By the time she parked, Brynlee had already pushed the door open and hopped out.

Stepping into the entryway, Kaia saw a pair of elegant heels sitting there, just as she expected.

Layla came over and lowered her voice. "Ma'am, you're back. Ms. Lawrence is here."

"Got it," Kaia nodded. She helped Brynlee take off her shoes and said, "Go wash your hands. It's almost time for lunch."

Brynlee quickly washed her hands and ran upstairs.

She searched a few rooms before finding the study door open. A woman's voice was coming from inside.

Without a second thought, Brynlee rushed right in.

Inside, Finnian Sanders was half-lying on the sofa, covered with a thin blanket. His handsome face was a bit pale from his illness. His eyes were closed as he quietly listened to Noelle read from a book next to him.

"Dad..." Brynlee shouted.

Finnian's eyes snapped open. A second later, a little figure threw herself into his arms.

Noelle frowned in annoyance at the sudden interruption of the peaceful atmosphere she had so carefully curated.

She had originally intended for Kaia to walk in on this scene.

"Brynlee, Dad has a cold. Don't get too close," Finnian said. As much as he wanted to hold his daughter, he knew her immune system was weak and was terrified of her getting sick again.

Brynlee stepped back a few paces and looked at Noelle. "Why are you here, Aunt Noelle?"

Noelle offered a gentle smile. "I heard your dad was sick, so I came to visit."

"Oh, were you reading to Dad just now? Is it a story?" Brynlee asked curiously.
