    “Should I take Elias and Emma away if Warren Fordes to see them again?” Roger asked.


    Ste paused and fell silent. She ended up not giving him a definite answer.


    After a while, she turned to her children and asked them, “Do you guys like that old


    man?”


    Elias and Emma scrutinized their mother’s expressions to find out how she was


    feeling.


    “Just tell me the truth,” Ste said helplessly. “You’re not allowed to lie.”


    Hearing this, Elias and Emma nodded earnestly.


    Ste sighed. It appeared that the children liked their great–grandfather, after all.


    But then Emma quickly climbed onto herp and whispered in her ear, “But I like Mommy more than


    anyone else in the world!”


    “That’s right!” Elias echoed his sister. “Mommy is the most important person in the


    world!”


    In fact, they only liked Warren Ford because he was nice to them. The children would show affection


    towards any stranger that treated them kindly anyway.


    Ste understood what her children were trying to tell her, and her heart was suddenly filled with a warm


    fuzzy feeling. She once again covered their foreheads


    with tender kisses.


    “Hey!” cried Roger, sounding as if he was jealous. “What do you mean you like her the most? What


    about me?”


    “We like you the most too!”


    After returning from the filming set, Ste had basically not seen Weston at all for the past few days.


    Nevertheless, her life continued happily, and she spent the entire weekend ying with Elias and Emma.


    The kids would sometimes ask her where Weston was, but only out of sheer curiosity instead of actually


    missing him. They seemed to bepletely indifferent to his presence in their lives.


    On Monday, Ste sent the kids back to their boarding school and gave everyone in


    her office a day off.


    Meanwhile, Roger had been very busytely with work, expanding the Gars


    business, though he never forgot to find time to spend with Ste and the kids as soon as he could.


    But Ste had, in fact, been consciously keeping a healthy distance from him. She knew she could never


    be with him because she only thought of her as her brother and nothing else.


    Roger had begun to sense this as well, so he gradually stoppeding to see Ste except when he


    wanted to see Elias and Emma.


    And so their rtionship began to return to the right path.


    It was in the middle of the night, and Ste sat in front of the window sill as she poured herself a ss of


    whiskey. In an attempt to enjoy her alone time, she put on a horror movie she had been meaning toPublished by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    watch for a long time and snuggled into the couch, eager to wind down and savor her rare vacation.


    She then suddenly heard something breaking outside the window. She paused and assured herself that


    she was probably just mistaken.


    However, not long after that, the wind began to howl outside. The ss window creaked. Ste started


    feeling uneasy, so she got up and closed the window.


    Soon, she thought she saw the figure of a man shing across the window. She jumped in fright and


    rushed over to pull the curtain down.


    Her breathing quickened now. She regretted choosing to watch a horror movie sote at night because


    now it was making her paranoid about everything. Hence, she turned off the film and decided on a


    rxing variety show to watch instead.


    But before long, she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the living room. Her ears pricked up, and


    she strained to hear, only to hear footsteps vanish after that.


    Ste was convinced that she must still be paranoid because of the horror movie she had just watched.


    She reminded herself not to overthink and that nothing could scare her more than her own wild


    imagination.


    Slowly, she managed to distract herself and be immersed in the variety show she was watching.
