“Ah… Sure,” Eira answered hesitantly.

Noticing something amiss, Caroline asked, “What’s happening?”

Eira sounded guilty as she hastily said, “Nothing! I’m busy putting away the children’s toys. I need to end the call now.”

“Sure,” Caroline replied.

After hanging up, Eira rushed upstairs in fear and told Axel and Tyler, “It’s over! Your mom is coming home, but Lia isn’t home yet. What should I do?”

The children’s expressions changed drastically, and Axle quickly texted Evan.

Meanwhile, Evan was on his way back to drop Liora home.

He didn’t notice his phone vibrating as he was engrossed in conversation with Liora.

Since Evan didn’t reply, Axel tried calling, but Evan didn’t pick up.

Axel put down his phone with a frown, saying, “Daddy probably didn’t notice.”

Tyler added, “He’s probably on his way back. He couldn’t hear the call because he was busy with Lia.”

“Will they meet Carol when they arrive?” Eira asked, sounding concerned.

Tyler leaned against the chair calmly and replied, “Lia won’t be scolded anyway. It’s going to be him.”

Axel looked at Tyler in frustration. “Doesn’t that mean it’s also going to be us?”

Tyler paused as he was about to lean back with his hands behind his head. “I don’t… think so…”

Liora lay on Evan’s lap in the car, tired from playing. She blinked slowly.

Evan gently caressed Liora’s soft hair. “Are you sleepy, Lia?”

Liora nodded and yawned. “I want to sleep…”

Evan checked his watch. “We’ll be home soon. Can you stay awake a little longer?”

Liora turned over and closed her eyes. She mumbled, “Just a short while…”

Evan smiled. “Alright.”

Liora soon drifted off to sleep.

Ten minutes later, Evan arrived at Bayview Villa.

Caroline’s car entered the yard just as he was preparing to carry Liora back inside.

Caroline frowned upon seeing Evan’s car in the yard and was taken aback when Evan carried Liora out of the car. She hurriedly approached and asked, “Did you take Lia out, Evan?” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Carrying the sleeping Liora, Evan replied softly, “Hmm, she fell asleep because she was exhausted from playing.”

Caroline was quite angry. “Will you please stop taking my daughter without informing me?”

Evan almost blurted out, “She’s my daughter too, but restrained himself, Instead, he said, ‘I came to visit Axel and found Liora all by herself in the backyard. So, I took her out for lunch. Is that an issue?”

Caroline said, “It’s not an issue, but will you please respect my opinion?

Evan asked, “Do you think you’d let me take her out if I informed you? Also, why did you let Liora get lessons from a gravekeeper?”

Caroline briefly appeared panicked. ‘She is my daughter, and my decisions for her are none of business!”

Evan adopted a serious tone. “Do you realize your actions could harm her future? Those are all baseless superstitions.”

“Since you’re not familiar with this matter, please refrain from discussing it! Give Liora back to me!”

Caroline exclaimed angrily.

Evan evaded her hands. “Tell me the reason behind this decision.”

Caroline glared at him. “I don’t want to talk to you out here!”

“Alright, let’s discuss this inside then,” Evan said, walking into the villa.

Caroline was rendered speechless

After entering the villa, Evan gently placed Liora on the sofa.
