Chapter 1854
As Erica walked by, she saw a bunch of little ones deep in conversation.
The chatter ceased immediately at the sound of Erica’s footsteps.
“What are you guys up to?” Erica asked, stepping over Max. “Max, you can’t be so lazy. Move a bit! I might have
long legs, but what about the kiddos? How can they step over you?”
Max gave a low growl and rolled over for Erica.
“Erica, are you taking the kitten home?” Ivy asked.
“Yep, if I leave it here any longer, it’ll turn into a piglet!” Erica said, scooping up the snoozing kitten.
The kitten opened its eyes in a daze.
“It’s okay, go back to sleep,” Erica patted its head.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe kitten shifted and continued to sleep in Erica’s arm.
“I’ll come visit you, kitty!” Ivy waved, showing no intention of keeping the kitten.
“What were you guys whispering about?” Erica asked, looking suspicious.
“Nothing,” Ivy shook her head.
The rest of the kids, except for Cain, didn’t react.
“Better not be!” warned Erica, “Or I have to punish you!”
“It’s really nothing!” Ivy waved her off.
Erica wouldn’t really hit her! At most she’d be sent to the corner for a time–out. Ivy had experience with that.
“Okay then” Erica ruffled Ivy’s hair, “I’m off then.”
“Bye,” lvy waved obediently.
Once Erica was gone, Ivy let out a sigh of relief.
“That was close! I’m glad we pulled it off, Cain, or no fishing for you tomorrow!”
“Thanks, Ivy!” Cain said sincerely.
“It’s nothing, we’re family!” Ivy declared.
“I better get going, or my mom will come looking for me!! Cain checked his watch.
“Okay, off you go!” Ivy nodded.
Luna’s punishment was no joke!
Max stepped aside as Cain left, clearing a path for him.
“I’m heading home.” Cain might be a bit slow, but he was polite. Before leaving, he went to say goodbye to
Rosalynn.
“Take care,” Rosalynn stuffed some snacks in his hand for him to share with his younger brother.
Cain happily went home.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHalfway there, he had eaten most of the snacks. But he remembered Rosalynn’s words and saved two pieces for
his brother.
Just as he was thinking what a great brother he was, he saw a woman coming from behind the rockery, rushing
towards the guest area.
Cain found the woman familiar, but couldn’t recognize her.
Recently, the Scott family welcomed a new member, Trista and there were a lot of guests visiting.
Cain tried to recall who she was but gave up eventually.
Since she was heading towards the guest rooms, she must be a visitor.
Later, Cain returned home.
Cain was celebrating his birthday a few months early, and Luna was taking it very seriously. Everything was set up,
including a long table in the yard.
She told Cain the day before that the table was for desserts.
She had booked the best pastry chef, and the desserts would be delivered first thing in the morning.
