Sylvia ruffled his hair and asked, “Liam, why are you standing here?” “No reason.” Liam looked at her and said, “Mommy, Uncle is here.” “Alright, let’s go downstairs,” she said while taking Liam’s hand. Liam peered at her face and noticed the dark, heavy circles under her eyes, sharp evidence of her lack of sleep. He reflected that he should have never let Isabel go downstairs. It must have been her shouts that woke up their mother. He made a subtle, silent frown and restored the cool, stoic expression on his face shortly after. They arrived in the living room. Thomas was seated on the couch in the living room while the enamored Isabel was sitting on his lap and seemed very delighted to see him. “Uncle, drink some tea and have some snacks. Don’t be shy.” Thomas smiled faintly. Aunt Tonya, who was busy pouring him tea, was similarly amused by Isabel playing host and chuckled heartily. Sylvia took Liam to them and greeted Thomas with a smile, “Thomas, why ar

Sebastian answered her warmly, “I… No, it’s nothing.” That was when Sylvia and Aunt Tonya stepped forward to see him. Sylvia gently patted Isabel’s head and urged, “Isabel, go inside and play with your brother." Isabel muted a quick “Okay” and ran back into the living room. Sylvia went up to Sebastian and addressed him, “Sebastian, are you here to say something to me?” Sebastian hesitated for several seconds and with an exasperated sigh, began relaying, “Missus, I just wanted to see if I can persuade you to speak to Master Carter. Jacob told me that he went to the bar today again. I know that circumstances are hard with what’s happening with the company, but he can’t keep living like this.” Sylvia frowned sternly. "I divorced him a long time ago. It’s not in my place to talk to him.” “But there’s no one more suitable for this task than you. You just need to go to him and say a few words. I’m sure he’ll return to his usual form after that.” “No, it’s just that th

Sylvia supposed that there was not much else she could do if Odell would not listen. She shot a glare at him, then promptly turned to leave. Just as she reached the door and raised her hand to turn the door knob, his raspy voice suddenly traveled across the room to her. "When Spencer kidnapped the two of you, I wanted to choose to spare you the entire time.” Sylvia froze for a moment and hissed sharply. "Odell, do you think I'm blind and deaf?" Even now, she could remember how he had pointed at her first, then changed his choice to Tara after a mere two-second pause. She remembered how he had reaffirmed that his final choice was Tara! “I tried to negotiate with him and offered him a lot of terms. I even told him that I’d sacrifice myself if he’d let you two walk free. He didn’t agree to my terms and instead, required me to choose between you two. He only wanted to use your lives to exact revenge on me.” Sylvia pursed her lips and stayed quiet. Odell’s voice turned

Suddenly, a silver car swerved in from the side of the road and stopped in front of her. Sylvia recognized that it was Thomas in the driver's seat. She was taken aback. “Thomas?” Thomas got out of the car and walked up to her, towering over her with his height. “I’m here to see Grandma.” She muttered a curt “Oh.” in response. Thomas put a hand forward and touched her head, then he stared at her hazel eyes. “Why are you up so early?” She strained an unconvincing smile. “I just happened to wake up early.” “You have bags under your eyes. Did you not sleep last night?" he asked. She avoided his gaze and brushed it off. “I slept okay.” He softly rubbed the corner of her eyes with his warm fingertips, his voice was gentle and comforting. “Is there something bothering you?” Sylvia frowned. She was moved by the tenderness in his voice. So moved that she wanted to confide everything in him, but she figured that he would not be pleased to find out that it was about

Thomas smiled at Sylvia. “There’s this new children’s clubhouse that opened in the new district. There are all kinds of activities going on there which I think should be very fun for Isabel and Liam.” With Isabel being so excited, there was no reason that Sylvia should refuse. She turned to Liam and asked, “Liam, do you want to go?” He stared blankly at Thomas. Isabel was worried Liam would not want to go and quickly urged, “Liam, lets’ go. Lets’ go!” Liam gave a curt answer, “Okay.” Sylvia turned to Thomas and smiled faintly. “Alright Thomas, we’ll leave in a bit.” “Alright.” ... Just as Thomas described, there were all kinds of fun activities in the children's clubhouse. There were even some high-tech installations that offered virtual gaming experiences such as the spacewalk simulator. Isabel had a blast. Even Liam enjoyed some of the simulations. There was also an escape room designed for a family-sized group. There were several tricky stages, but Thoma
