Chapter 152

“I’m fine.” There was a tempest of emotion under the calm voice.

Charles took Yvonne’s hand and continued walking toward the room. The little girl bounced happily along. The decorative kitten ears on her schoolbag twitched with her movements.

Charles took a step back, watching her small figure from behind.

Once inside the room, he took out his phone and found Jeremy’s WhatsApp.

The brothers haven’t chatted much since they saved each other’s numbers. After all, they lived in the same house. If something came up, they could talk face to face.

Charles made a call, but there was no answer.

Glancing at the time, he realized it was a weekday. Jeremy was probably at school and didn’t have his phone with him

Charles turned to look at the little girl happily eating yogurt beside him and said, “Jeremy is not here. Can you say it again to Dad?”

“Sure!” Yvonne said.

Charles opened Kelvin’s WhatsApp and downloaded a few cute sticker packs, then handed the phone to Yvonne.

“You can use these stickers to tell other people your feelings,” Charles said, teaching the little girl how to use reaction stickers.

The screen was filled with adorable cat and bunny stickers.

She spent a long time picking, then finally sent a sticker of a chubby cat rolling on the ground.

Just looking at it made her giggle. “It’s so cute, Charles!”

Charles glanced at her and smiled, too. “Yeah, it is.” He wondered if Kelvin would realize it was from Yvonne.

Someone as cold and serious as Kelvin rarely received stickers from anyone.

Usually, the people he communicated with just got straight to the point and, at most, ended a conversation with a polite handshake or fist–bump emoji

However, there was one exception.

Jeremy used to be a little scared of Kelvin, so he held back.

But lately, that fear vanished, and he would send memes to his father at every opportunity.

Just the previous night, he even made a custom meme with the text, “Yvonne is one of a kind. No two ways about it.”

After a full day of work, Kelvin opened his phone and was greeted with the latest absurd internet joke in broken English. It nearly made him want to punch Jeremy.

At that moment, he was looking at the sticker with a frown, deep in thought. ‘A rolling chubby cat? Is Charles feeling unwell again?‘

The more he thought about it, the more it seemed likely. He was about to call and check. But before he tapped the call button, a barrage of stickers suddenly arrived.
