Chapter 416 Let’s Greet Them

Caroline chuckled and said, “Neil, don’t worry. I’m not that fragile. I just came downstairs to find

you since you were taking so long.”

Neil affectionately replied, “Could I have lost my way?”

Caroline teasingly said, “Well, who knows for sure?”

Neil countered, “You’re sharp as always. Let’s head upstairs then.”

Caroline agreed, and they moved upstairs.

Meanwhile, Evan observed Caroline and Neil’s exchange from his car parked across from them.

Slowly, his fingers clenched on his thighs, and his expression darkened.

Noticing Evan’s reaction, Alex glanced at Axel. “Should we go, Axel? We’re here.”

Axel remained low–spirited but slowly looked up at Alex and replied, “Okay.”

Alex slyly looked toward Evan, thinking, “Yes! Evan’s getting jealous again.”

He led Axel out of the car and acted nonchalant as he spoke. “Evan, let’s go. What are you waiting

for?”

Evan looked away and reluctantly got out of the car. He silently walked toward the children’s

restaurant.

Meanwhile, Alex suppressed his smile and guided Axel inside.

Axel stumbled a bit due to Alex’s pace and requested, “Mr. Price, please, a bit slower.”

Alex stopped and awkwardly smiled. “I’m sorry, Axel. I forgot I’m taller.”

Axel knew his legs were too sore to walk fast. Otherwise, he could have easily kept up with Alex

Evan searched for Caroline in the restaurant but couldn’t find her until he heard Liora’s laughter

from the hall. He narrowed his eyes when he saw the people gathered there.

Alex noticed Caroline and the others, which left him puzzled.

Alex thought, ‘Why are Paige and the three men with unclear relationships with Caroline here?”

He approached Evan and said, “Evan, Caroline and Paige are here too! I need to go say hi to Paige.”

With that, he scooped up the surprised Axel and headed for the hall, leaving Evan no choice but to

follow.

Their sudden entrance silenced the cheerful atmosphere in the hall.

Paige’s eyes widened as she asked Alex, “Why are you here?”

Alex motioned to Axel in his arms and explained, “We brought Axel for dinner but didn’t expect to see

you guys here. I just came to say hi.”

Paige’s lips twitched in disbelief at his response.

“Axel!” Liora’s excitement caused her to abandon her cake and rush toward Axel.

However, Paige stopped her in her tracks. “Wait, Lia.”

Confused, Liora tilted her head but soon realized her mother hadn’t agreed to let Evan and the

others join them.

Neil and Evan locked eyes, creating an uncomfortable tension in the room.

Caroline noticed Axel’s weight loss and felt sorry, believing he must be unhappy after Evan had taken

him away. She got up and approached Alex, inviting him to join them. Her willingness to tolerate Evan’s

presence was solely to see Axel.
