Chapter 12

ผู้เขียน: Ginger Sue
The paper fluttered lightly, landing on Joshua's polished leather shoes. The bold words on it stood out.

"Resignation Letter

Winter Everhart"

Everyone gasped. They couldn't believe Winter had the guts to challenge Joshua to his face. She was fearless!

A vein pulsed at Joshua's temple.

"Thanks to Ms. Lynch, a nobody like me somehow caught the attention of so many big shots at the company. My time here wasn't wasted after all." Winter's stunning eyes burned with a cold fire as she met Joshua's clearly stunned gaze.

She smiled radiantly and said, "Farewell. May we never meet again!"

With that, she turned and strode away, her back as straight as a lone tree. She didn't look back.

"That woman is out of line! How dare she act so high and mighty just because she got in through connections? Who does she think is backing her up?" Connie fumed. She gritted her teeth and snarled, "Mr. Stroud, she's practically spitting in your face! I'll make sure she's punished for that!

    It was true that a mother and child shared an unspoken bond. Though Winter felt a pang in her chest, she kept her voice calm. "How is he?""Mr. Terence has complained all morning about feeling unwell and has stayed home from school. By evening, he had developed a fever. He keeps saying his chest feels tight. No matter what, he can't stop coughing!"Winter clenched her hand, her voice low and steady. "I'm sure it's an asthma attack. The medicine is in the second drawer by the bedside. Please make sure he takes it.""Mrs. Stroud, aren't you going to come back to check on Mr. Terence?""I'm afraid not," Winter said, steeling herself. "You should contact his father first. I don't think Terry wants to see me.""Mrs. Stroud, what are you saying? Are you still holding a grudge against Mr. Stroud over the incident at Stroud Estate? It's not fair to take it out on Mr. Terence. He's just an innocent five-year-old!"At this point, Gretchen no longer bothered with formalities. Her worry for

    Winter felt completely puzzled. If compensation wasn't necessary, why hadn't Ezekiel simply replied by text? Why did he take the extra step of following her on Instagram just to say it?Perhaps he truly did want her to pay. As a grown man, he might not have wanted to appear petty asking outright. Following her on social media could be his subtle way of getting her attention.It made perfect sense to Winter. Her understanding of social cues was clearly exceptional."Mr. Fulton, you don't have to feel embarrassed. After all, Terence was the one who damaged your clothes. As his mother, it's only right that I take responsibility. How much do I owe you?""I have more coats like that than I could keep track of. Even if it weren't stained, I seldom wear the same one twice. There's no need for your kindness."Winter pressed her lips together.Joshua had the same mindset. If his couture pants even got a speck of dust, he would never wear them again. The cost didn't matter to him at all.

    Ezekiel lowered his gaze, a teasing smile tugging at his lips. "With George's build, he'd need to eat three portions of that."George was left speechless. To Alistair, he was nothing more than a bottomless pit in a human suit. With Ezekiel and Alistair inside the Maybach, the car headed swiftly toward home."Auro, I know it's your birthday, but there's something I need to tell you," Ezekiel said. He sat with a refined, upright grace, crossing his legs, appearing perfectly at ease. However, the intensity in his gaze betrayed the gravity of his words. "You misbehaved today. Don't ever speak like that in front of Winter again. Otherwise, you won't be allowed to see her anymore."Alistair was startled. His eyes reddened as he blurted out, "Dad, I was wrong. I promise I'll never do it again."Ezekiel nodded slightly. "Good. You should always learn from your mistakes.""Dad, do you have feelings for Winter?" Alistair asked suddenly, his expression turning serious.Seated in the fro

    Winter's eyes widened in shock, her heart fluttering wildly.Alistair was too young to speak like that. His view of the world was obviously skewed.But she knew he only said it because he cared about her. She couldn't blame him.Terence, however, looked as if someone had shot an arrow straight through his spine. He froze, and his little face went white with fury. He could barely breathe.He thought it was unbelievable that neither of them had the slightest shame."Alistair, that's out of line." Ezekiel's voice dropped low and cold.Alistair lowered his head, tears welling."Mr. Stroud, Alistair spoke out of turn because he likes Ms. Everhart."Ezekiel's eyes went flat as he glanced at Joshua's stormy face. "Still, kids say whatever pops into their heads. You're not seriously going to hold a grudge against a five-year-old, are you?"Alistair's words kept crashing inside Joshua's head. The noise pounded so fiercely that his temples started aching.Was he really that pathetic?

    "Dad!" Alistair's voice shook with hurt, his eyes glistening as if he was about to cry."Alistair! She is my mom. You're not allowed to take my mom away!" Terence stormed over, still holding an ice cream cone in his left hand—until Jessica grabbed it from him.Joshua's eye muscles twitched sharply. "Terence, what are you doing?"Jessica hurried to stand in front of Terence and explain. "Joshua, I lapsed in my attention to Terry. Please don't blame him.""Dad, I need to teach this bird brain a lesson for trying to steal my mom!" Terence was so furious he could barely talk straight."Bird brain? Who are you talking about?" Ezekiel's eyes went cold instantly, the pressure in his gaze freezing Terence in place. Ezekiel was even more intimidating than Joshua. "Terence, you have gone too far!"Even someone as patient as Winter was shaken. "You will apologize to Mr. Fulton and Auro right now!""No! They are the ones who did wrong. Why should I apologize?"The anger Terence had bot

    Because Winter joined them, Alistair had the warmest little birthday of his life.Every year, Ezekiel celebrated with him and gave him gifts. It always made Alistair happy, but this year's joy felt different from all the others.Alistair looked at Winter, then at Ezekiel, smiling so wide his cheeks nearly cracked. He smiled so hard his cheeks almost cracked. Inside, he whispered his wish again, hoping that his dad would always have Winter by his side and that he could spend every birthday with Winter from then on.Ezekiel picked up the plush toys on the table. He handed the little fox, Hook, to Alistair and held out the bunny, Judy, to Winter."Ms. Everhart, this one's for you.""Oh… Thank you."She loved little toys like this, and she couldn't resist the pull. Without thinking, she accepted it. Suddenly, Alistair giggled. "Dad, you look like Hook!""If I look like Hook, what does Winter look like then?" Ezekiel asked, a slight smile in his eyes."Um… Judy!"Alistair's eye
