Jonathan stroked her cheek, “I hope what she’s yearning for is family, not money. And I hope she understands what we’re trying to do for her. That she stays true to herself and doesn’t get blinded by wealth.”

Estelle pursed her lips slightly, “I hope she won’t. But I’ll be careful, too.”

“Let’s just watch her for a while. If Evelyn really wins over Old Mr. Quintin’s heart, it doesn’t matter if she’s really his or not. And if she’s not worth it, we’ll just cut her a check. We won’t have treated her unfairly.”

Estelle nodded, “We’ll see what fate has in store for her.”

After discussing Evelyn, Jonathan scooped Estelle up in his arms, “Let’s freshen up, then have some breakfast. I called Wilma earlier; she’s whipping up something delicious for you.”

Estelle clung to him, “I’ve been missing her, too.”

Jonathan chuckled softly, “I’ve never heard you say you missed me.”

“Never? I’m sure I’ve said it lots of times.”

“I don’t recall,” He feigned seriousness.
