Chapter 1928
Tp
Wayne got dressed and woke Ivy and Cory up.
They had breakfast with Rosalynn and hurried out the door.
Ivy was over the moon watching her dad go to work.
She stood by the living room window, waving goodbye to Wayne.
“She cares so much about whether her dad goes to work.” Rosalynn was video chatting with Paige Owens. Seeing Ivy’s joy, she couldn’t help but tease.
Paige defended Ivy, “Ivy’s been loving this family deeply, and you can’t even appreciate it!”
Rosalynn, “Alright, alright, Ivy can do no wrong!”
“Damn straight!” Paige paused, “How’s Erica?”
Some previous incidents could be kept from Paige because they didn’t have wide repercussions.
But Mary’s situation was all over the internet.
Paige was naturally in the loop.
“She’s still asleep,” said Rosalynn, “I’ll take care of her, don’t worry. You just focus on getting better.”
Paige said, “I’m all good, honestly. I’m getting so bored here, I want to run away with Trista!”
“Run away?” Baillie’s voice rang out from the other end, “Don’t forget to take me with you.”
Rosalynn burst out laughing.
“Alright, I gotta work. We’ll talk at lunch.” Rosalynn called Ivy over, “Ivy, come give Paige a kiss.”
Ivy ran over immediately and grabbed the phone.
The two of them started to have an affectionate chat over the phone.
Rosalynn shook her head while watching.
Not long after she hung up on Paige, Erica came out, she still looked quite drained.
But Ivy immediately went over to comfort her.
Erica’s state visibly improved.
“Erica, where’s Naomi?” Ivy asked gently while leaning on Erica.
“She’s still with Orval. Do you want to see Naomi? I can have Orval bring her over!”
Previously, because they planned to go to the monastery, Erica temporarily sent Naomi to Orval Carter. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“Orval?!” Ivy suddenly looked towards the elevator.
Erica turned around and saw Larkin holding a grumpy–looking Naomi, with Orval next to him.
“Looks like someone beat you to it,” Rosalynn said with a chuckle.
Erica looked at Larkin and felt a lump in her throat.
“Naomi, hello, you look like you’ve gained some weight since we last saw each other!” Ivy greeted Naomi adorably with a tilt of her head.
Naomi grumbled in response.
Erica took Naomi.
Naomi, though disgruntled, obediently lay down on Erica’s lap.
“I’m sorry, I’ve been neglecting you these past few days,” Erica petted Naomi.
Naomi grumbled again.
Erica looked up at Larkin, “Larkin, thank you!”
“You’re welcome.” Larkin patted her head with a smile.
“Why haven’t you thanked me? Your little rascal messed up my apartment like a naughty child! Worse, my wife thinks Naomi is adorable and wants to buy a cat from a pet shop! My god!”
“Thank you, how could not thank you!” Erica laughed at Orval’s exaggerated expression.
Larkin was trying to cheer her up and gave a small laugh, “Where’s your wife?”
Orval said, “She’s too attached to this little one. She’s at home crying, saying she’s going to buy a cat this afternoon.”
“Naomi, you’re really popular!” Ivy praised her.
Naomi’s expression sudderily seemed very proud.
There’s some truth to the saying that people can’t live without kittens.
Having Naomi back made Erica feel better.
By this time, the online discussion about Mary was dying down.
However, in the evening, the heat suddenly spiked again.
