Was that why his dad told him to remember what he said? Was his dad subtly asking him to keep an eye on this mysterious guest? His suspicions deepened when he arrived at Corrines apartment and saw one of the other guests.
It was Keanu, someone Sheldon had met twice before.
Sheldon pondered if Keanu was his dads rival, his small face scrunching up in determination.
Wow, Sheldon, come give Auntie a big hug! Corrine swept Sheldon into her arms the moment she opened the door, planting loud kisses on his cheeks.
Sheldon squirmed slightly but endured the affection with practiced patience.
As Corrine released Sheldon, Keanu crouched slightly to meet Sheldons eye level, ruffling his hair.
Sheldon, do you remember me? Keanu asked, his tone friendly.
Sheldon gave a small nod, his large, inquisitive eyes fixed on the man. Yes.
Hello, Mr.
Wright.
Considering the possibility that Keanu was interested in his mom, as his dad had suggested, he felt that he had to keep an eye on Keanu for his dad.
Tilda, isnt your husband coming? Corrine asked.
Hes caught up in a business meeting.
He promised hed treat you to a meal next time, Tilda explained with a smile.
Corrine nodded casually.
Go ahead and make yourselves at home.
No need, really.
Ive picked up a few new recipes lately.
You can all be my taste testers later.
Corrine winked, mischief glinting in her eyes.
She nodded at Keanu with a warm smile before bustling back to the kitchen.
Hopefully, Corrines new culinary creations wouldnt turn out disastrous.
Tilda mused as she settled on the plush sofa with Sheldon, holding his hand. The apartment, as always, was a perfect reflection of Corrines taste sleek, elegant, and filled with personal touches.
It boasted three bedrooms and two living rooms, serving as one of Corrines getaway properties.
She only stayed here occasionally, whenever she needed a break from her mothers endless nagging and craved some peace and quiet.
Sheldon, why dont you have some fruit? Keanu offered, holding out a piece of dragon fruit close to Sheldons Lips.
Sheldon dodged it with a playful smile.
Mr.
Wright, you can have it.
I can feed myself.
