2025-07-14 10:00:42“Talk to Josh gently,” Lydia whispered as Althea and her son stepped inside the house. She had declined Althea’s offer to stay for dinner—despite the tempting promise of her favorite chicken broth soup—because she had a flight to catch to Chicago that evening. There were things waiting for her there she couldn’t put off.
“I know,” Althea replied, her voice low, her worry still clinging to her like a shadow. “It’s just that...”
“You think he’s the only man in the world named Daven?” Lydia cut her off, sounding more annoyed than she intended. “Come on, just go inside and get some rest. I’ve already asked the driver to take me to the airport.”
Chase had been quietly observing the exchange between the two women. Josh, now fast asleep beside Althea in the backseat, had clearly been exhausted after the long day. After leaving the town hall, they’d taken him to a

Daven’s footsteps echoed steadily down the hallway, his stride brisk and determined. Now that he’d gotten special permission from Tania, there was no use pretending—he wasn’t just here for formality’s sake. He wanted to see Josh. Ever since Tania had spoken the boy’s full name, something had been gnawing at the back of Daven’s mind. He kept brushing it off, again and again, but the thought refused to leave him. Deep down, beneath every rational layer of logic, he was craving one thing.Validation.Was it so wrong to hope for something impossible?“Sir,” Arsen called from behind, struggling to keep up with Daven’s pace.“Did you take care of what I asked?” Daven said without glancing back.“Yes, Mr. Daven. The items you ordered should arrive within the next hour or two.”“Good.” A faint smile played at Daven’s lips.“Sir, just a

“This is the place?” Daven asked as he adjusted his blazer after stepping out of the car.The moment he got out, his steps paused. His eyes lingered on the pastel-colored building in front of him—the soft orange roof, sky-blue wooden fence, and whimsical murals covering the outer walls. There were drawings of a rainbow, a smiling apple tree, and tiny handprints stamped across the painted bricks.Something in him stirred. Without realizing it, the corner of Daven’s mouth lifted slightly.“I used to go to a school like this,” he murmured under his breath. “Though my kindergarten never felt this cheerful.”Just then, Arsen stepped out from the backseat, a sleek tablet in hand, detailing the full schedule for the day.“Mr. Daven, are you sure about this? The meeting with the Frankfurt investors has now been rescheduled twice. And the Osaka team—”“Cancel it. Send an

"Are you feeling unwell, Althea?"Althea instinctively touched her cheek and looked at the older woman in front of her, her eyes clouded with confusion. "Me? Unwell?""Yes," Mrs. Yoshida replied, concern etched on her face. "You look pale, Althea. Didn’t get enough sleep, perhaps?"Althea offered a faint smile. "I think so, yes. Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Yoshida. But I’m alright, really."Mrs. Yoshida let out a small breath of relief. "I’m glad to hear that. Still, take care of yourself, Althea.""I wish the same for you as well, Mrs. Yoshida."The woman returned her smile warmly. "It’s a shame I can’t stay in town a bit longer. There’s still so much I wish I could do." Her smile dimmed slightly. "Not to mention, I didn’t even get the chance to try your cooking.""If you ever plan another visit to SunCity, please let me know. I’d be more than happy to prepare something for you."

That morning, the cozy kitchen in Althea’s house was filled with the scent of toasted bread and scrambled eggs. The sun was still low, but Josh was already seated neatly at the table, sipping his warm chocolate milk.Althea served breakfast and took a seat across from him. Every now and then, she glanced at her son, who seemed more cheerful than usual.“Isn’t there something you’d like to tell me, Josh?” Althea asked softly, wiping away the trace of milk from the corner of his lips.“A story? What kind of story, Mom?” Josh blinked at her, puzzled.“Hmm…” Althea feigned a thoughtful look. “Like how you ended up falling yesterday. And who helped you?”Josh chewed his toast quickly, his eyes wide with excitement. “Oh! That’s because I was in a rush, Mommy. The floor near the restroom was slippery, and I slipped. Didn’t I already tell you?”“I

“But are you sure you’re, okay?” Chase crouched a little, locking eyes with Josh again, needing that extra confirmation the boy’s injuries had been properly treated.“Yes, Uncle Chase,” Josh chirped, cheerful as ever. “Mr. Daven patched me up.”Chase let out a slow breath. Honestly, his heart had nearly stopped when one of the staff reported Josh missing. And when he called Lydia, she’d been in full panic mode—frantic, because Josh was nowhere to be found.“I really appreciate your help, Mr. Daven,” Chase said sincerely.“No trouble at all,” Daven replied, brushing a hand gently over Josh’s head. “I just happened to be nearby when he fell.”“Did you thank him, Josh?” Chase asked, his tone soft but firm. “We need to find your aunt and your mom. They’ve been so worried.”“Mommy’s here?” Josh’s face lit up.“Yes,” Chase replied, giving a small smile.“Then let’s go! I want to see her!” Josh was practically bouncing, nearly taking off running again before Chase reached out to stop him.“D
