Hestia gently set Tw down, her face marked by concern. "How many times have you met him?" "Twice."


    Tw''s eyes were wide with innocence. "Mom, what''s wrong?"


    Hestia took a deep breath. "From now on, I don''t want you seeing him again."

    Tw was taken aback, and after a moment, she softly apologized, "Mom, I understand now."


    Realizing she might have been too harsh, Hestia hugged her. "Tw, you''re the most important person in my life. I can''t bear the thought of anything happening to you, okay?"


    Though Tw was saddened at the thought of not seeing Eltham again, her mother mattered more. She tried to act more grown-up than her years, reassuring her mother with a pat, "Mom, don''t worry. I''ll always be here with you." Hestia sighed in relief but remained vignt, constantly keeping Tw close to ensure she wouldn''t run into Eltham again.


    Nathan stopped by to visit Tw, bringing a bouquet of flowers and some of Tw''s favorite cupcakes.


    Tw greeted him sweetly, "Mr. Jarvis."

    She wanted to have Tw fully checked but was struggling to make it happen.


    Nathan extended his help upon learning about this.


    Hestia smiled, "Nathan, thank you. That''s very kind of you."


    "It''s nothing," Nathan replied, his pleasure evident at her smile. "I care a lot about Tw''s well-being."

    With a grateful smile, Hestia replied, "Thank you, I will."

    Eltham, mostly just sipping his soup, suggested, "You should take it easy with the work. And maybe stay away from the Lte Conglomerate for a while." Brittany paused, "So, I''m basically grounded?"


    Eltham massaged his temples, "Stay here, and after the baby is born, you can do anything you want."


    Brittany mmed her utensils down, "On what grounds do you restrict my freedom?"


    "I''m your fiancé," Eltham said, a depth in his gaze. "I''ll return your phone. You''re free to do as you please as long as you stay indoors."
