Chapter 200: Warmth In Winter


    That night, Amora didn''t sleep in the study on the third floor.Instead, she returned to her bedroom on


    the second floor.Hence, the second floor was particrly lively that night.


    "Mommy, are you sleeping with me tonight? My bed is especiallyfy!"


    "Of course not.Mommy, don''t listen to Vivi.She just wants to sleep with you.You shoulde to my


    room instead."


    When Matteo saw that his sister wanted to cling to Amora, he stormed over and foiled her n cruelly.


    Instead, he invited Amora to his room.


    It was normal for a five-year-old to want to sleep with his mom.


    Any other kid would pine for their parents the same way at that age.


    Nevertheless, Matteo was already more mature than his peers.


    When Amora heard his rare request, she hugged him and agreed.


    "No,e over to my room!"


    At that moment,n approached them.


    When he saw Amora agreeing to Matteo''s request, he too squeezed into her embrace with a reluctant


    expression.


    Amora was at a loss.


    What am I going to do with them? Left without a choice, she allowed all three to join her in her room.


    "Why don''t I tell you a story.After that, all of you sweeties will have to go back to your respective rooms


    to sleep, alright?"


    "Alright!"


    At that moment, the kids eagerly agreed.


    Hence, Amora took out a book fromn''s room and sat by the bed.


    She allowed them to snuggle up to her as she began to read the story to them.


    "Today, when I arrived at school, Mr.Holt asked me, ‘Ally, are you going to write it or not?’ His tone was


    extremely sharp..."


    What is this book? After reading further, Amora felt something was wrong.


    She stopped immediately and looked at the cover.


    Whenn saw it, he clenched his little hands which a moment ago was used as a snack box by Vivian.


    "The Flying Fish? Littlen, did Daddy buy this for you?"


    "Mmm-hmm..."n replied as his gaze darkened.


    The next moment, he hung his head and didn''t have the courage to look at the three of them.


    Daddy told me that these books were suited for me.


    Now that Mommy and Matt have seen them, will they think less of me? And wonder why am I reading


    books like this? Perhaps, they might think that I''m not a normal child?n was exceptionally upset.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    "It''s a good book, Littlen.Daddy really loves you.I have wanted to buy this book for Matt and Vivi but


    could never find it."


    "Really?"n lifted his head in disbelief.


    Suddenly, his eyes were filled with delight.


    Given how savvy Matteo was, he immediately recognized Amora’s intention.


    Hence, he acted in concert with Amora.


    "That''s right.We didn''t manage to buy itn, if Mommy doesn''t finish it tonight, can I borrow it from


    you?"


    "Me too! Me too! I want to borrow it too!"


    Vivian blindly joined in as she just didn''t want to miss out on whatever her brother wanted.


    Consequently,n was cheered up by their response and nodded vehemently, agreeing to their


    request.


    After that, Amora continued with the story.


    This time the children huddled tightly by her side, listening to her gentle voice describing the events in


    the book.


    It was a beautiful scene.


    Unknown to them, Kane was watching and it warmed his heart in the middle of a blisteringly cold


    winter.


    The next morning, Kane left early.


    However, before he did, he reminded the bodyguards at the vi to strictly not allow Amora to leave.


    Hence, after Amora woke up with the children and came downstairs, she prepared to head to the


    hospital to check in on the others.


    Suddenly, a bodyguard stood in front of her and stopped her.


    "Ms.Rory, I''m sorry.Mr.Ronin has instructed that you''re not allowed to leave here for the time being."


    "I know.I just want to check in at the hospital as I still have some unfinished business there,"


    Amora casually replied before trying to move ahead.


    She had not taken Kane''s words fromst night seriously and didn''t think he would actually do it.


    After all, they were no longer rted and there was no reason for him to protect her to that extent.


    She felt she was not deserving off that honor.


    Furthermore, there was no way that she could keep staying at the vi as she still had a lot of work to


    do at the hospital.


    Although she had cleared her name, she still needed to drop by to check.


    What if I lose my job? But, the moment she took a step, the bodyguard blocked her way again.


    "Ms.Rory, please cooperate with us."


    Damn it! Amora widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.


    Left without a choice, she went back into the house feeling upset.


    Something must have gotten into him to actually try and restrict my movements.


    As Amora headed back into the vi gloomily, Wendy happened to walk out.


    When she saw Amora, she waved at her.


    "Ms.Rory,e over quickly.I have something for you."


    "What is it?"


    Amora approached her.


    Finally, the maid took out a checklist and counted the items on it.She then realized that there were


    more than thirty items in total.
