"Work," Kaia replied coolly.
Without another word to him, she crouched down to say goodbye to Brynlee, then climbed into the Maybach with Silas and drove off.
Watching the taillights fade into the distance, Finnian's eyes narrowed into dark slits. Wordlessly, he picked up Brynlee and got into his own car.
In the passenger seat, Dexter held his breath.
He knew his boss too well—Finnian was absolutely furious.
Having heard Finnian was back in the country, Noelle texted him, asking to meet for dinner. Finnian brushed her off, claiming he had to watch Brynlee and couldn't leave the house.
Staring at his reply, a cold pit formed in Noelle's stomach.
Kaia's trip abroad had ruined everything. Noelle bit her lip, suddenly feeling untethered.
The man who used to drop everything to rush to her side was gone. He had never used Brynlee as an excuse when she was a toddler, so why now?
As Brynlee prepared to start kindergarten, Josephine was in remarkably high spirits. The next afternoon, she created a family group chat and manually added everyone.
She ironically named it 'Our Loving Family.'
When Kaia got the notification, she raised an eyebrow.
A voice note from Josephine popped up: 'Brynlee starts school soon. Everyone, come back to the estate for dinner tonight.'
Elaine immediately chimed in: 'Mom, you didn't add Noelle. Do you not have her number? I can add her.'
Josephine's reply was swift and merciless: 'Do not add her. This is a chat for the Sanders family.'
