"Aunt Karen just had a baby, so it''s kinda hectic over there."


    "But her ce is huge, me and Lily can be super quiet! We won''t make a peep," Langston insisted, raising his hand as if taking an oath.


    Dorothy looked at Langston, letting out a silent sigh. She stayed quiet for a while before finally asking, "What if... you guys stayed with Dad, would that be okay?"


    Immediately, Langston''s guard was up. His brows furrowed, "Are you nning on leaving us? Mom, can''t we just be one big happy family? It''s okay if Dad''s too busy toe home, me and Lily won''t nag about wanting to see him anymore!"


    "Dad''s not too busy, he even found time toe to school-"


    Abigail''s words were cut short as Langston quickly covered her mouth. He had warned Abigail not to mention their dad''s visit, but did she listen? No, because Dad had to go and say he missed his daughter! That girl could spill the beans on everything without even realizing it!N?velDrama.Org content.


    "He went to the school?"


    Despite Langston''s attempt, Dorothy still caught the words "the school."


    At this point, Langston couldn''t deny it. "Yeah, he said he missed me and Lily."


    "What else did he say?"


    "Nothing much, just stopped by to see us."


    Dorothy put on a stern face, "Tell me the truth."


    "That''s all! And he only came to the school once, didn''t stay long."


    Langston knew the weight of responsibility on his shoulders; he couldn''t let his n fail now.


    "Is that true, Abigail?"


    Dorothy smartened up, ignoring Langston and turning to her daughter instead.


    After receiving a stern look from her brother, Abigail hesitated for a few seconds before nodding obediently, "Yeah, what he said."


    Dorothy gently patted her children''s heads, feeling helpless, "I know you guys don''t want to be away from Dad and me, it''s just..."


    She paused, realizing that whatever she said would seem cruel to her kids.


    "So, what?" Langston was still waiting for her to finish.

    "So, we''re not leaving Eldorria City?"


    "Nope."


    "Yay! Yes!" Langston clenched his fist in victory, happily dragging his sister away.


    Watching their retreating figures, Dorothy felt herpromise was worth it. She definitely couldn''t stay at Bay Residence anymore; leaving was inevitable. But Eldorria City was big enough to find another ce. As long as they didn''t run into Everett, it would be fine.


    Ever since Karen settled down and had a child, life wasn''t about living on a whim anymore.


    What Dorothy didn''t know was that as soon as Langston went back to his room, he quickly texted Everett.


    "Mission aplished! Don''t forget to update my gaming system!


    "Your mom agreed to stay?"Everett''s reply came almost instantly.


    "Of course! I have my ways, and Mom always listens to me! She said we''re not staying at Bay Residence but we''re not leaving Eldorria City, so you can stille see me and Lily!" en.swhovels
