Chapter 437


    Esther noticed that Jacob seemed slightly uneasy, and it was enough for her to understand his feelings.


    He longed for his mother so much but did not know how to interact with her due to the five-year gap.


    For a child, being close to their mother was instinctual. Jacob’s desire for his mother’s warmth was also


    innate.


    “Jacob, now that your mother is back, it means she has thought it through. She knows that running


    away won’t solve anything,” she exined.


    Jacob nced at Esther, then turned his gaze towards Xara in the distance. Silently, he walked


    towards Xara’s bedroom.


    The service staff had prepared Xara’s bedroom meticulously-everything was the newest, from clothes


    to toiletries.


    Xara’s room was a suite consisting of a study, a reception room, a dressing room, a bathroom, and a

    bedroom.


    Jacob wandered around the suite, finally fixing his gaze on a box of biscuits on the small coffee table in


    the reception room.


    He called for the butler, who respectfully responded. “Mr. Jacob, how may I assist you?”


    Jacob’s young face was cold. “Why is this box of biscuits here?”


    The butler finally noticed the biscuits on the coffee table, realizing that Xara couldn’t eat them. “Mr.


    Jacob, it’s my oversight. I’ll rece the biscuits immediately.”


    While hastily picking up the biscuits from the table, the butler thought Xara was truly Jacob’s mother.


    He was amazed that the boy still remembered her allergy after so much time.


    “This is the first andst time. I don’t want to see any hazelnut foods in this castle from now


    on.”


    “Yes, Mr. Jacob.”


    The butler hurriedly left with the biscuits.


    Jacob ced the bouquet of flowers he was holding on the chest of drawers in the bedroom.


    Seeing Jacob like this, Esther decided not to disturb him any further and went to find her children.


    Anna had gone to work, and Felix and Sunshine were not shy around strangers, so they yed freely


    in the castle.


    When Esther found them, they were ying in the castle’s yground.


    It was the same yground where Jacob used to y. Although Jacob had grown up, the yground


    had been preserved.


    The Sandersons’ service staff had been arranged for the safety of Felix and Sunshine. The two kids


    were ying uninhibitedly, running around and sweating.


    “Felix, Sunshine.”


    Hearing Esther’s call, Felix and Sunshine rushed toward her like fledglings returning to the


    nest. “Mommy!”


    Seeing the sweaty kids, Esther could not help but frown. “You came out to y right after the rain


    stopped. Aren’t you afraid of catching a cold and getting a rash from the humidity?”


    Felix and Sunshine obediently said, “Mommy, we’re sorry…”


    “You can’t y so vigorously right after the rain next time, or you might catch a cold easily. Do you


    understand?”


    Lately, Esther had been spending much time with Sunshine. She worried about leaving


    Sunshine behind when bringing Felix to her home country. As such, she nned to ask Anna if


    Sunshine coulde along for a while.


    “Let’s go. I’ll give you both a bath.”


    Even though Felix and Sunshine were still young, Esther decided not to let them bathe together.


    She had originally intended to give Felix a bath, but he proudly dered, “Mommy, I can wash myself!”
