Chapter 66

Tan knew she was angry. He didn’t dare say a word, head bowed, voice soft as he apologized, “Tinley. I know I was wrong. Please dont be mad”

Tuley withdrew her hand, her eyes fluttering closed as she slumped, her sickly expression tinged with a faint redness at the siges. Her exhaustion showed, her pale face drained of color.

She despised everyone who took children away–no matter the reason, no matter the compensation, no matter who they were. No one was excused.

ving her shut her eyes, lan’s lips pressed tight, and he felt a knot of guilt in his chest. He had known how fragile she was. vet he’d let himself get carried away in that argument earlier, as if possessed by his own anger.

He stood up, voice barely above a whisper, as if afraid to disturb her with the slightest sound. “Tinley, I’ll go now.”

Once outside the attic, lan reached up and lightly touched his face, wincing in pain as the slap he’d received earlier hit him like a blow to the gut. He had swung with all his strength, in his anger. Now his cheek ached–if it hurt him so badly, then surely her hand had hurt too,

Tan wasn’t just feeling the sting on his cheek–his heart ached, too. Next time, he’d make sure to let Wendy take the slap for him so Tinley wouldn’t hurt her hand.

A few moments ago. Yvonne, carried out by Wendy, had seen her father in the living room of the Holmes family estate.

Her eyes lit up, and she raised her tiny arms, her voice sweet like honey, “Daddy.”

Kelvin, who had been talking to the family’s butler, Ronnie Banks, stopped and turned to look at her.

Yvonne was gently set down, and she immediately ran to him, wrapping her little arms around his legs. “I knew you’d come to get me!” she said, her voice filled with innocent joy.

The familiar scent of osmanthus surrounded him as she hugged him tightly.

Kelvin bent down lifting her into his arms, brushing leaves from her hair before turning to bid Ronnie goodbye.

“Mr. Adler, safe travels. Wendy said with a smile.

Kelvin paused slightly as he caught sight of her, surprised that it was one of Tinley’s people sending Yvonne off. He nodded curtly, holding his daughter, and turned to leave.

On the drive home, Yvonne, still a little sleepy, looked up at him with wide, curious eyes. “Where are we going, Daddy?” “Home” Kelvin replied briefly, his voice steady.

After a brief pause, perhaps realizing his tone might seem a bit cold, he softened, adding, “To our house in Strate City. Your brother’s already there.”
