“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.

Dead silence filled the group. A few minutes later, Elaine typed defensively: ‘Mom, Noelle hasn’t married yet. She’s still part of this family.’

‘Is her last name Sanders?’ Josephine shot back.

Elaine didn’t reply again.

Just then, Finnian-who famously ignored group chats-sent a message: ‘Grandmother, what is the point of this group? You could have just called everyone.’

Josephine, peering at her phone through reading glasses, scoffed aloud. She hit the voice record button. ‘I felt like making a group chat. Got a problem with an old lady learning how to use her phone?’

After a long pause, Elaine asked: ‘Can I at least bring Noelle to dinner tonight?’

‘Fine. Let her come,’ Josephine agreed, though clearly unenthusiastic.

Kaia simply typed: ‘Noted.’

By six o’clock.

The Sanders Estate was blazing with light.

Finnian was the first to arrive with Brynlee. The moment the little girl stepped out of the car, her cheerful chatter filled the normally quiet, echoing halls. The estate instantly felt alive.

Watching from the parlor, Josephine sighed wistfully. If only there were more children running around, the house would be even livelier.

Thinking of this, she shot Finnian a withering glare. He was the only one who could carry on the family line, and he was dragging his feet.

Catching his grandmother’s murderous look, Finnian wisely retreated, multering arrexcuse about work before hiding in his upstairs study. Brynlee tailed right behind him like a little shadow.

Ten minutes later, Noelle’s white Bentley pulled up the driveway. Spotting 「Finnian’s car, a thrill shot through her. They hadn’t seen each other in days. and every day apart felt like an eternity.

As Noelle stepped out, Elaine was already waiting at the front door with a warm smile.
