After the server brought over the extra pudding, she bent down with a patient smile and started chatting

with Nora.

She gently reminded her not to eat too much at once, saying she could finish this one and come back next time for more. If she

liked it, they’d be happy to have her again.

In the warm sunlight, the delicate lines of Aurora’s profile seemed to glow, especially when she spoke to Nora–her whole face lit

up with a soft, heartfelt smile.

Leonard found himself staring, momentarily dazed.

His heart skipped a beat without warning.

Inside the restaurant, everything else faded into the background.

In his eyes, there was only Aurora and his little sister.

The warmth in Aurora’s voice, the kindness in her expression–it all made the corners of Leonard’s mouth lift, almost involuntarily.

Maybe it was time for Nora to have a little more contact with the outside world.

“Lukey, you’re always working.” Wendy pouted, her full lips forming a perfect little frown, the innocence in her face marred by

Lucas didn’t even look up as he replied from his seat, “As you can see, I’m swamped.”

“Busy, busy, busy–that’s all you ever say!”

Wendy huffed in playful frustration. “Lukey, you can’t work yourself to death. Your health matters more than money.”

“And besides, the reason my brother sent me here was so you could take care of me and help me relax a little.”

They’d kept in touch all these years.

Since Kenneth wasn’t comfortable letting Wendy come back on her own, he asked Lucas to keep an eye on her.

Of course, Lucas wouldn’t reject such a simple favor,

He had promised with absolute certainty back then, “Don’t worry. Your sister is like my own. You can trust me with her.”

It was precisely because Lucas had said that so confidently that Kenneth felt comfortable sending Wendy to him.

He knew his sister had a playful streak–that much was clear.

moment he laid eyes on Wendy, he felt a headache coming on.

He had just returned from Fortline and was hoping for a little breather.

As long as he stayed out of trouble and didn’t upset the boss, life was manageable.

But the second he got back, he ran into Wendy–the very definition of high–maintenance.

Desmond felt like the sky was falling.

Still, he had no choice. Orders were orders.

Now he had to find a place that worked for just the two of them–and it had to suit Lucas’s style.

After some quick searching, Desmond finally settled on a nearby upscale restaurant.

Lucas spent

the whole afternoon with Wendy, taking her around and eventually having dinner together.

The entire time, Wendy never stopped talking, chirping endlessly in his ear.
