Bucky wagged its tail enthusiastically after confirming that Oliver was a good person.

“You know this dog?” Oliver asked in surprise.

“Yeah, Yvonne introduced me to it before,” Jeremy replied.

Just then, Jeremy noticed a few tiny heads peeking out from the doghouse behind Bucky. They were watching them. curiously.

The puppies had been too scared to come out earlier because Bucky had been barking so fiercely. But now that they felt safe, they all scrambled out, looking adorable.

“Oh, she had puppies! No wonder she was so aggressive just now,” Oliver said.

Mother dogs were naturally protective of their babies. Now that Oliver understood, it made sense. There were seven puppies in total, all round and chubby, like little stuffed animals–too cute for words.

The tiny pups were friendly, sniffing around the two of them before eagerly nudging their hands. Their soft little whimpers melted hearts instantly.

“They’re adorable,” Oliver said, unable to resist picking one up.

“When my dad and I went to pick up Yvonne, Ms. Harrison told us that once the puppies were weaned, they’d give one to our family,” Jeremy said proudly, as if these weren’t just mutts but some rare, expensive breed.

Oliver felt a twinge of envy, though he didn’t say it outright. It was written all over him. He wanted a puppy too. But considering the ongoing tension between his family and Dani, Dani definitely wouldn’t be sending one their way.

The two of them played with the dogs for a while. When it was nearly dinnertime and Dani still hadn’t returned, they decided to leave.

The driver dropped Oliver off first before taking Jeremy home.

As soon as Oliver stepped inside, he saw Marian curled up in Nina’s arms. The two of them looked as close as a real mother and daughter.

“You’re back?” Nina smiled when she saw him. “The driver said you were with Jeremy. Where did you two go?”
