Chapter 262

Ricky quickly tried to hide it. “Nothing…”

“Really?” Irene asked as she passed him his glass of water, clearly sounding doubtful.

Ricky averted his gaze, but soon came up with an excuse. “The logistics issue we had? It’s been resolved.”

Irene nodded. “You did well.”

“But you came up with that idea,” Ricky reminded her.

In fact, he was a little jealous. He must admit, their father had insight.

Even though it wasn’t one of Irene’s strengths, Lionel left Spencer Holdings in her care anyway, and she learned. quickly enough to resolve a potential crisis.

“I’m not that older than you. Just keep your mind working, and you’ll surpass me in a few years,” Irene said encouragingly the boy had matured considerably since Lionel’s passing.

Ricky flashed a rare smile. “Alright. Anyway, I think I’m fine here. You still have to take care of Tommy, don’t you? You should go.”

“Okay. Contact me anytime if something comes up,” Irene said as she stood. “Don’t forget your water.”

“I won’t,” Ricky replied, reaching out with his good hand.

Irene nodded and left the ward, closing the door behind her.

She then ran into Sheryl on the walkway, who was carrying boxes of food.

“Were you visiting Ricky?” she asked, happy to see her daughter.

Irene nodded, glancing at the food she was carrying. “You made those?”

“Of course,” Sheryl replied. “The food is as bland as it’s unwholesome here.”

Irene was surprised by how much Sheryl was caring for Ricky.

Did she now consider him her own son?

Sheryl seemed to read Irene’s mind, and gave her a tender look. “Jealous?”

Irene shook her head. “No. In the end, he’s still Samantha’s son.”
