    Marissa gently murmured. “Alright, Ellinor, take the kids to wash up and take a breather. We’ll be


    having dinner soon.”


    Ellinor nodded in agreement.


    Baber led his little sister upstairs, with Ellinor trailing behind them. After a few steps, she realized that


    Adrian hadn’t followed. After turning around, she saw that Adrian stood frozen in ce. He was looking


    around in bewilderment, as if he were shocked into paralysis.


    Ellinor picked up Adrian and held him close, feeling a pang of guilt. Did her harshness today elicit such


    a response?


    “Adrian.” She tried to coax him. “Let’s go upstairs and freshen up. Then we’ll join your great grandma


    and great grandpa for dinner, okay?”


    Adrian didn’t reply but instead nestledfortably into Ellinor’s shoulder. He liked the scent of this


    beautifuldy. It wasforting.


    After watching Ellinor take the three kids upstairs, Veronica whispered to Marissa, “Grandma, Adrian


    has been asking for his dad today. It might have affected Ellinor’s mood. She must miss Theo.”


    Marissa’s eyes dimmed at the news. “Ellinor has been waiting patiently for Theo’s return.”

    After giving her daughter a bath and changing her into fresh, pink pajamas, Ellinor filled the tub with


    lukewarm water for Baber and Adrian. Boys loved ying with water, and she usually let them have


    their fun with toys in the tub before helping them clean up.


    While her daughter yed with her doll on the bed, Ellinor reclined with herptop and began browsing


    some work-rted matters.


    There was an auction tomorrow. One of the properties being auctioned was a parcel ofnd that the


    nchet Corporation had been eyeing.


    Theo had wanted to purchase thend before his disappearance, but the owner had been hesitant to


    sell. The location was prime and would make a greatmercial district.


    Theo’s unfinished business was now hers toplete.


    After logging into her long-unused hacker ount, Ellinor started digging deep into the auctioned


    property’s internal/information.


    Suddenly, she noticed an old friend she hadn’t seen in a while was online.


    After clicking on the user icon, she typed out, “AAAres, long time no see.”


    After a pause, he replied, “Do we know each other?”


    Ellinor blinked in surprise. “Aren’t you AAAres?”


    “Sorry. I had an ident three years ago and lost a lot of my memories.”


    Amnesia? Ellinor found this peculiar. “But you still remembered your ount password?”


    “Muscle memory, I guess. It just came naturally.”


    “Well, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right? You’re lucky. Forgetting some troubles isn’t all


    that bad.”


    AAAres didn’t seem to agree. He was keen on rediscovering his past. “Were we friends?”


    Ellinor pondered for a moment before replying, “Well, we were more like online buddies. We didn’t


    know each other very well.”


    AAAres asked again, “Have we met in person?”


    Ellinor answered truthfully. “We sort of have, but not really. Years ago, we attended the same hacker


    convention, but we were both wearing masks.”


    “Where was the convention held?”


    “In H City Ellinor replied.
