Chapter 175: What Secret Was She Hiding


    Dinnersted for over an hour.


    The meal might not be as rich as the food in hotels but, because it was entirely prepared by Amora, the


    children showed their utmost support.


    They asked for seconds, even third helpings until they werepletely stuffed.


    n, do you like Mommy''s meatballs? It''s made from shrimp."


    "Yes, I do!"


    The girl was happy to hear that.


    She was Mommy''s loyal fan.


    She would support her mommy no matter what.


    But when Vivian turned to look at Daddy to ask the same question, she was suddenly spooked by the


    look he had on his face as he stared longingly at the te in front of him.


    Her face turned pale.


    She did not dare to say anything after that.


    What''s Daddy looking at? Why does he look so scary all of a sudden? It was as if Kane had just


    witnessed something unfathomable.


    Grave horror could be seen projected in those dark eyes of his! What''s up with Daddy? Does he not


    like Mommy''s cooking? The little girl had a bad feeling about it.


    Amora did not notice that.


    She was doing the dishes in the kitchen.


    The children, after they finished their food, had left a pile of dirty dishes for her to clean.


    Therefore, she was not in the mood to take note of him.


    If she had looked his way, she might not have stayed calm while she went about her duties.


    It was a long-standing habit of hers.


    Kane never liked peeling oranges himself.


    He did not like having the sweet, sticky feeling of orange juice stuck on his fingers.


    So, back then, whenever she went to see him in secret, she would peel an orange, cut them into


    several pieces, nt a toothpick on one of them, and slip the dish under his door while the Ronin family


    was away.


    How long have I been doing that? Amora could not remember clearly.


    The first time she did it, she was in her first year of elementary school.


    By the time he was sent abroad, she had graduated from elementary school.


    As Amora was doing the dishes in the kitchen, she thought about the promise she had made to their


    eldest son.


    She contemted how she should tell Kane thatn could stay here.


    "Littlen, can you help me serve the grapes?"


    "Okay."


    "Littlen, listen to me.Although we have decided that you can stay here tonight, we still have to tell


    Daddy, alright? Can you please take these grapes to Daddy and tell him that?"


    Amora felt like a coward for sending her eldest son out to confront Kane.


    Of course,n would not expose Mommy''s true intentions.


    At the same time, he was happy to do what he was told.

    But when he brought the grapes out, he could not find Daddy in the living room.


    While he was wondering where Daddy could be, he noticed that the door to Mommy''s room was left


    open.


    Has Daddy gone into Mommy''s room?n approached the room with the grapes on a tter.


    Just as he thought! Whenn got to the door, he spotted Daddy inside.


    However, he was puzzled to see Daddy flipping through the books on Mommy''s study table like he was


    looking for something.


    Several books on Mommy''s table, which was usually so neat and tidy, had been turned over and


    strewn about.


    What''s Daddy doing?n stepped into the room.


    "Daddy, what are you doing?"


    Kane, who had been feverishly flipping through the books as though possessed, froze when his son


    called him.


    What am I doing? In fact, Kane was not sure himself.


    It could be that the idea he hatched just a moment ago had been so scary that he felt the urge to


    search for evidence.


    He could be wrong.


    But, what if he wasn''t? He looked at the medical book in his hands, lost in a daze.


    For a long time, he did not look away from the annotations scribbled on the pages inside.


    "Daddy, I want to stay here for the night."


    "What?"


    "I''m not going to leave you, but I like having Mommy, Matt, and Vivi by my side.I...I like how tonight


    turned out."


    Indeed, he had never thought about leaving Daddy, but he really enjoyed spending time in Mommy''s


    apartment that night.


    He had his mommy, his brother, and his sister here to keep himpany.


    It was much better here than Royal Court One, where it was cold and lonely.


    In the past, whenever he made the request, Daddy might give him one of his dirty looks as an


    indication of disapproval.


    This time, surprisingly, aftern waited anxiously for a response, his daddy did not oppose.


    "Got it.I''ll pick you up tomorrow."


    "Okay..."


    The whole process went shockingly well.


    Ecstatic,n sprinted out of the room with the tter of grapes.


    He was in a hurry to tell Mommy the good news.


    Amora, who was in the kitchen waiting forn toe back with an update, could not believe her ears


    as well.


    "Did Daddy really say yes?"


    "That''s right, Mommy."


    Under the bright lights of the kitchen, the little boy''s eyes shone so brightly that they might as well be


    glowing.


    Upon seeing those eyes glinting with excitement, Amora concluded it must be true.


    She allowedn to resume ying with his siblings while she stayed to clean up the kitchen.


    After she was done, she left to check on her guests.


    "Hey...what happened to you? You don''t look so well."


    As soon as Amora arrived at the living room, she ran into Kane who had juste out of her bedroom.


    Within the span of ten minutes, that man seemed to have transformed into a totally different person.


    His face, drained of color, was scarily pale.
