“Mommy, do you think Eva is okay? Why hasn’t Uncle Jeremy given us any news?” Emily blinked at Kara. Her tiny hands kept giving her

mother massages.

Kara turned her head with a gentle smile. “Eva must be very sad and shaken. Maybe Uncle Jeremy and Ava are busy calming her down.”

Louis stopped massaging his mother. He checked the time then pursed his lips. “But it’s been an hour, Mommy. Uncle Jeremy must have let us know if Eva is fine.”

“Or it could be,” Frank interrupted in a half-whisper, inviting the twins to listen carefully, “Uncle Jeremy forgot to tell you guys. He’s become more forgetful since dating Ava. Maybe because his mind is too full with her.”

Emily’s eyes narrowed. Her head tilted slightly. “I think that makes sense. Moreover, Eva must be crying and her voice is loud. It disturbs Uncle’s concentration.” Emily patted his ear lightly.

“Daddy, is there any way to stop Mrs. Moore? I don’t think she will stop doing bad things if she doesn’t go to prison. Why doesn’t Daddy report her to the police?”

Frank’s gaze shifted to Louis. His son was looking at him with sad eyes. “To report someone to the police, we need strong evidence. Otherwise, she could report us with accusations of defamation and false reports.”

Louis’ eyes and mouth widened. “Does it mean Daddy can go to prison?”

“Yes, that possibility exists, but it won’t happen if we’re careful.”

Emily raised her shoulders, pinching her neck. “I don’t want Daddy to go to prison.” Her head shook slightly.

“Calm down, Princess. Daddy won’t go to prison. Daddy is a good person.” Kara stroked Emily’s cheek.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded from the door. Seeing Jeremy and Ava walk in, everyone’s eyes widened.

“Uncle Jeremy?” Louis jumped down from the sofa. “What happened? How is Eva? Why didn’t Uncle tell us?”

Jeremy glanced at Ava briefly. Instead of answering Louis’ question, he spoke to Ava. “You must be tired. Take a rest.”
