Chapter 177

Chapter 177 Let’s Talk Axel lowered his voice and said, “It’s probably because Mommy didn’t call.”

Tyler glanced at Evan and ate his breakfast slowly. He believed Evan deserved what he got because he had refused the help Tyler offered.

Evan walked over to the dining table, possibly due to the father son bond. He stood in front of Tyler and asked, “What’s the solution you mentioned last night?”

Tyler gazed at him. “I don’t feel like telling you right now.”

“Aren’t you eager to go home? Aren’t you concerned about your sister crying?” Evan questioned.

Tyler grumbled internally. ‘So you know about my sister crying, huh? Why didn’t you send us home earlier, then?‘

Tyler turned his attention to Liora. “Do you miss Mommy, Lia?”

Liora thought for a moment and replied, “Mommy is busy. I don’t want to bother her!”

Tyler smirked and glanced at Evan challengingly. “See? We’re not in a hurry.”

Evan’s lips twitched, and he wondered where the children got their attitude. Do I need to show them a paternity test so they can learn to respect their father?

Evan furrowed his brow. “Aren’t you concerned about your mother bring worried?”

“How do you know if Mommy is worried? Maybe it’s you who’s worried. Tyler retorted.

Evan was at a loss for words.

Noticing Evan’s silence, Tyler asked, “Mister, why do you want my mother to come to you?”

Evan’s expression turned serious “Don’t involve yourself in grown–up matters!”

He put on his coat and left the house shortly after.

Tyler couldn’t help but grumble to himself, Scumbag Daddy! Since you don’t want to acknowledge Lia and me as your kids, I won’t acknowledge you as my father either!

Axel sighed, realizing his father would take a while to win his mother’s heart.

Caroline’s sleep in the hospital was interrupted by her ringing phone. She answered, and Kenny’s voice came through. “G, we have a meeting today. Why aren’t you here yet?”

Caroline snapped to attention. She had almost forgotten that today was when they were deciding on the first clothing design.

She checked the time and hurriedly sat up, realizing it was already 8:30 am. She swiftly kicked off her blanket and slipped on her shoes. Tm on my way, sorry!”

Kenny continued. “I understand you’re in a tough spot, but you can’t neglect the company. The first garment we produce is crucial!”

After a short exchange, Caroline ended the call Caroline sighed as she looked at Lily, whose head was heavily bandaged and who had an oxygen.

mask on She tucked in Lily’s blanket and said, “Lily, I need to go to work. I’ll be back to check on you later.”

As Caroline prepared to leave, Scott entered the room, appearing tired. Seeing Caroline dressed.

neatly, he asked softly, “Off to work?”

Caroline nodded. “I have some company matters to handle. Lily.

Scott smiled reassuringly. “I’ll take care of things here. You go ahead.”

Caroline felt a hint of quilt for all that Scott had done for her. She took a deep breath and uttered, Scott, when Lily’s safe, let’s talk.”

She couldn’t watch Scott spending his youth on unreciprocated love. She knew he had waited all along, and she needed someone reliable for her children.

Scott nodded. “Of course.”

Later in the afternoon, Caroline received a call from Axel Her fatigued expression softened as she greeted, “Axel.”

A mix of grievance and excitement laced Liora’s voice as she exclaimed, “Mommy, it’s Lia!”
