    He thought back to what Sophia said. Tristan did seem a little different.


    The man squinted. He studied his son’s face closely but didn’t notice any changes.


    Suddenly, a memory of a girl he’d seen earlier in the park surfaced in his mind. Her face seemed


    familiar.


    Moreover, when he saw herughing and chatting with that man, he felt a strange sense of unease in


    his chest.


    Who was she?


    Had they met somewhere before?


    At the nchet Vi.


    It was dinner time when Ellinor and the kids returned.


    Marissa, hearing themotion, came out to greet them.


    Ellinor and Veronica led the three little ones inside, while Moran had already gone back to school.


    Despite her age, Marissa couldn’t resist holding her great-grandchildren, so she picked up the lightest,


    La.


    “La, tell Granny. Did you have fun today?”


    La, hugging Marissa’s neck, nodded. “Yes! Very fun! And your food was really good. Mama, my


    brothers, and I all loved it!”


    Her sweet-talking great-granddaughter made Marissa beam with joy. “Is that so? Then I will cook


    something delicious for you every day.”


    La agreed with a smile. “Yay! But Adrian was not very happy today. He got scolded by Mama for


    running off.”


    Upon hearing this, Marissa’s brows furrowed. “What? Adrian ran off on his own?”


    La nodded vigorously. “Yes! You need to scold Adrian; he can’t make Mama angry anymore! Mama


    almost cried today because of him!”


    Marissa ced La down and reached for Adrian to hear his side of the story.


    But ‘Adrian’ dodged her like she was a stranger and quickly hid behind Ellinor.


    Marissa was hurt by his reaction. “What’s wrong, Adrian? Why won’t you talk to me? I just want to ask


    what happened. I won’t scold you. Come,e


    here.”


    Adrian still clung to Ellinor’s leg nervously.


    He was not Adrian. He came here because he liked this gentledy.


    But this ce waspletely strange to him, as were the people. He was instinctively afraid.


    Even at home, Sophia rarely took him out. He spent most of his time with his father, hardly ever


    encountering any other people.

    He was afraid of strangers, except for this gentledy who brought him home.


    Noticing her son’s fear, Ellinor said to Marissa, “Let it go, Granny. I just scolded him earlier. He’s


    probably a bit scared. You can talk to himter; he should be fine by then.”


    Marissa looked at her great-grandson with concern and then back at Ellinor. “Ellinor, what actually


    happened? Is what La said true? Did Adrian almost get lost today?”


    Ellinor nodded. “Yes, he saw a toy that he liked with some other kids and just ran off to find them. But


    thankfully, I noticed quickly and found him. I’ve lectured him about it; he should know better now.”


    Marissa sighed in relief. “Ellinor, you’ve really taken on a lot. Taking care of three kids by yourself is not


    easy. They’re at an age where they can be quite mischievous, and things can go wrong if you take your


    eyes off them for a second. I’m d you were there.”


    Ellinor just smiled. “They’re my own children. It’s not a burden.”
