Chapter 28

Penulis: Full of Luck
"Harvey?" Niamh called out.

She noticed Harvey's ears turning red. His expression was something she'd never seen before.

"What did Elara yell at you about over the phone?"

His expression was hard to decipher. "She's still picking a fight with me."

Harvey found himself doubting whether the person who had just yelled at him was truly Elara.

"Elara might be going through menopause," Niamh said with a laugh. "They say women do age faster after having kids."

…

Elara hung up after her outburst and handed the phone back to Frank. He simply stood frozen in place, utterly petrified.

With a small wave of her hand, Elara signaled him to take the phone. Frank then bolted as though lingering another second might earn him the same wrath.

Elara was eager to leave Azure Shores, and she turned to Bambi with a suggestion. "Want to go with Mommy to visit her mentor?"

"Yes!" Bambi replied enthusiastically.

Elara called Theodore before heading to the Snapp residence. She stopped by a florist to

    Elara walked into the kindergarten activity room with Merida, taking in the decorations of colorful streamers and paper crafts. The sweet scent of baking filled the air. She immediately spotted Leonard standing by the window.Today, he wore a light linen shirt, his posture upright and composed, somehow separated from the noisy environment around him by an invisible barrier. Beside him, Xavier stood quietly, clutching his ever-present electronic reader, his large eyes warily observing the surroundings."Granduncle Leonard! Xavier!" Merida flew over like a happy little bird.Leonard nodded slightly, his gaze passing over Merida to land on Elara. His cool eyes softened slightly, a hint of warmth flickering through them."Elara." His voice remained steady, yet it carried more warmth than it had over the phone."Mr. Fisher, Xavier, you're here early." Elara smiled as she approached, naturally crouching down to meet Xavier at eye level."Xavier, we're making pastries together today, ok

    Elara called Leonard, and a cool, low male voice came through the phone. "Elara, what's up?"He sounded like he'd been expecting her call."Mr. Fisher, do you have any free time coming up?"Elara briefly explained about the kindergarten family activity, then said, "I know your time is valuable, and this kind of event might not be on your usual schedule. But Merida and I would really love it if you and Xavier could come."The line went quiet for a few seconds. Elara instinctively held her breath, almost able to imagine Leonard frowning slightly as he reviewed his calendar.Just when she expected him to politely decline, Leonard spoke. "Alright, I'll bring Xavier."Elara felt surprised he actually agreed, yet it also made sense. To help Xavier return to a normal life, Leonard had already made quite a few compromises."That's wonderful." Joy colored her voice.Through the phone, Leonard heard Elara speaking to Merida. "Your Granduncle Leonard said yes! We'll be making pastries toge

    Elara turned around to see Merida standing at the kitchen doorway in her teddy bear pajamas, rubbing her sleepy eyes.She set down her glass, walked over, and smoothed her daughter's hair. "Did you sleep well last night?""Yeah!" Merida nodded vigorously. "After Uncle Finn dropped me off, I fell asleep right away!"Merida had recently been practicing skateboarding at the provincial sports center. When Elara wasn't too busy, she'd pick her up or accompany her to training, but with the urgent project at Quantum Tech lately, she'd been working overtime every day. The task of taking Merida back and forth had fallen to Finnegan.The provincial team coach had noticed Merida's talent and was focusing on training her in skateboarding. Finnegan understood the technical aspects of sports better than Elara did.When Elara went along, she was simply there for company, only able to provide emotional support for Merida.Finnegan, on the other hand, could spot technical issues in Merida's perfo

    Theodore gently closed the bedroom door but didn't leave immediately. He leaned back against the cool door panel, standing quietly in the darkness for a few seconds before raising his hand to loosen his collar in irritation.The air seemed to still carry Elara's faint scent, mixed with the moist steam from the warm towel, silently lingering around his nose. He turned and walked toward the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows.Outside was the dazzling city night view, countless lights scattered like fallen stars, yet they couldn't illuminate his somewhat chaotic thoughts at this moment. He pulled out a cigarette pack from his pocket, drew one out, and put it between his lips, but paused when he reached for his lighter.He glanced back at the tightly closed bedroom door and ultimately stuffed the unlit cigarette back into the pack, tossing it casually on the coffee table. He couldn't leave a smell of smoke here. Merida wouldn't like it, and Elara would be annoyed with him.Theodore

    Theodore held his slightly stiff posture, not daring to move until the person in his arms breathed steadily again, as if the earlier movement had just been an unconscious shift during sleep.Only then did he slowly straighten up, gently push the car door closed with his foot, and carry Elara toward the elevator.She was so light. Theodore marveled inwardly. The woman in his arms was like a fallen leaf that could snap with just a bit more pressure from his embrace.Heat surged through the man's body as he suppressed his most primal impulses. For a man who regularly benched 180 pounds, lifting Elara with one arm would be more than enough. Yet sweat beaded on Theodore's face.He entered the elevator, thinking the bright lights might wake Elara. Theodore's gaze dropped to see Elara with her face buried against his chest, curled up in his arms.Theodore's breathing tightened as he looked at the peacefully sleeping face in his embrace. All her usual sharpness and capability had melted a

    Elara's lips curved upward. "Your analysis is on the right track."Theodore said, "Which means I didn't get it completely right."Elara replied, "I just analyzed the internal network data. Company information has been flowing to Price Nation headquarters every day. Priscilla has been monitoring Quantum Tech's data all along."On the other side, someone without Priscilla's level of access has been smuggling Quantum Tech's data out bit by bit."The car's interior lights were off, and neon glow from outside filtered in, casting an ethereal quality over Theodore's face. When they hit a red light up ahead, the car stopped, and Theodore turned to look at Elara in the passenger seat.He couldn't find any trace of worry on her profile, not even a hint of fatigue. Theodore broke into a grin. "You're excited.""Isn't this more interesting?" Elara countered. "Long-term data research is incredibly tedious. I knew Priscilla would challenge me, but I didn't expect someone else to join in too."
