Collin had once prepared meals for Linsey with similar care, looking at her with anticipation.

Tears welled up in Linsey’s eyes, heating up until they blurred her vision.

As she bowed her head, a lone tear dropped onto her dinner plate.

Linsey quickly composed herself, attempting to brush the tears aside.

Yet, her children’s keen observation had not missed her distress.

“Mommy, are you okay?” Zenia asked, her voice laced with concern, her bright eyes clouding with worry.

Zenia climbed onto her chair, stretching her small hand to touch Linsey’s cheek.

Meanwhile, Zander didn’t waste a moment; he scurried to get some tissues and came rushing back. “Let me

Zander was more assertive. “I’m sure of it. Mommy was crying.”

Caylee was taken aback by their acute observations.

She knew Linsey had struggled to suppress her emotions, hoping to shield the children from her sorrow.

If this had happened in the past, Caylee would have respected Linsey’s wishes and skillfully sidestepped the children’s curious questions.

Considering Zenia and Zander’s young age, barely four, redirecting their focus would normally be straightforward.

However, Caylee’s face took on a serious expression as she gathered the children close on the couch, speaking in hushed tones. “You both noticed Mommy’s tears, didn’t you?”

Zander nodded and said, “Yes, I’m certain. Mommy cried. I think she even looked at me just as she began to
