Scott chuckled and said, “No complaints here. Taking responsibility for your relationship is

fundamental.”

Caroline was surprised by Scott’s confident response. She couldn’t help but look at him and ask, “Are

you

okay with that?”

Scott replied, “Well, I might hesitate, but I’d never pressure anyone in a relationship.”

Caroline commented, “You really are open–minded.”

Scott teased, “I can tell you’re not ready to let go of me from your tone.”

Caroline responded firmly. “Stop kidding around. I’m serious. I still haven’t moved on from Evan after all

these years.”

Scott reasoned, “Love goes both ways. If Evan were in a bad place, you would’ve moved on. But you

haven’t, so he must have left a significant impact on you.”

Caroline realized Scott was right. After talking to him, she felt less upset. She had never been

emotionally

prepared for a relationship with Scott.

At 5:30 p.m., Scott stepped out of the car to pick up the kids.



Caroline sensed something was amiss when he returned with them. Even though the children still

spoke

to him, their closeness seemed to have faded.

Scott remained nonchalant and composed as usual.

Liora was surprised to see Caroline in the passenger seat and exclaimed, “Mommy, you’re back!”

Tyler got into the car and asked, “Are you out of the hospital, Mommy?”

Caroline nodded with a smile. “Yes, I didn’t want to be away from you for too long.”

Llora cheered, “That’s great! Can I sleep with you at night-”

But she cut herself off, glancing fearfully at Scott.

Caroline noticed this and also looked at Scott but didn’t inquire further. Instead, she reassured Liora,

Yes, you can sleep with me.”

Liora asked, “Will I disturb your sleep, Mommy?”

Tyler teased, “You’re still clinging to Mommy at your age?”

Liora grumbled, “You’re just jealous because I get to sleep with Mommy since I’m a girl. Boys are shy.”

Tyler covered Liora’s mouth and said, “Alright, calm down.”

Liora was in pain and bit Tyler’s hand, causing him to pull away hastily.

“Bad Tyler!” Liora scolded him.

Caroline turned away silently, wondering what had happened between the children and Scott during

her absence.

At Grand East Hospital.

Evan walked out of the doctor’s office.

Richie assured him, “Mr. Jordan, your son is improving. At this rate, he should be out of protective

isolation before the Mardi Gras parades.”

Evan halted and noticed Daniella rushing toward them.

Turning to Richie, Evan asked in a deep voice, “Is she here every day?”

Richie nodded. “Yes, Ms. Love comes daily to inquire about your son’s condition.”

Daniella arrived and greeted Richie with a smile before turning to Evan. “You’re back. Have you

checked

on Axel?”

Evan stared at her coldly and suggested, “Let’s grab a meal together, I have something to discuss.”

Daniella was taken aback, sensing Evan’s displeasure. She racked her brain, trying to figure out what

she might have done to upset Axel recently. Anxious, she left with Evan.

They took a seat by the window at the restaurant.
