Ian nodded, his voice tinged with helplessness. “Yeah. It was him.”

That same morning, he and Mr. Adler had been sipping coffee together at the Holmes estate. One moment they were chatting, and the next, Adler stood up mid–sip, called his driver, and left without explanation.

Half an hour later, someone delivered a bunch of grapes–apparently freshly picked from his orchard. Then, about an hou after that, a fox showed up.

It arrived in a pink cage, looking clean, fluffy, and fragrant–as if it had been pampered rather than caught

And now, to top it all off, he’d gone and custom–ordered a small cake. Didn’t tell a soul. Clearly meant it as a surprise for Yvonne.

Ian watched Yvonne’s eyes grow round and bright, and a bad feeling began to creep up his spine. Don’t tell me… this unreliable old man is about to get back in her good graces?‘

Sure enough, the moment Yvonne heard the confirmation, her little legs kicked with joy.

She didn’t know where to put her hands–first she wrapped them tight around Ian’s neck, then she was cupping her own cheeks in delight.

“Alas.” Her little cowlick perked right up and began bobbing side to side. Utterly adorable.

“Grandpa’s the best!” she said with a beaming smile. “I really like Grandpa!”

If Richard had been in the room to hear that, he probably would’ve grinned himself dizzy.

Still cuddled in Ian’s arms, Yvonne shifted her fluffy little head and whispered in a soft, sugary voice, “Uncle, let’s go home and see Grandpa, okay?”

Her clear eyes sparkled with anticipation–like stars glittering in a midnight sky. “I want to go home and eat Grandpa’s cake.

Ian ruffled her hair. “Okay.”

He looked away, about to say goodbye to the people by the back door, but when he turned, he found all of them staring at Yvonne like they’d just seen a unicorn.

“What’s with those looks?” Ian instinctively tightened his hold on Yvonne and took a step back. The way they were staring- like cats spotting a canary.

“Mr. Holmes…” one of them began, though his eyes never left Yvonne. “So the cake Mr. Adler ordered… it was for this little girl?”
