“I’m sure he’ll visit soon,” I said, quickly blinking away the tears that came to my eyes when Clara asked so innocently about Edrick coming to visit the orphanage.

Neither Clara nor Ella seemed to notice my emotional demeanor, and Clara burst out into cheers. I watched with a smile as they ran off to continue playing. Sophia chuckled behind me.

“The children really do like him,” she said, taking a sip of her tea. “I honestly thought that he was just another emotionless drone, focused solely on business, but he’s really much more than that. It seems that our cookie baking session might have softened him a bit.”

I nodded thoughtfully, thinking back to the day that we all baked cookies in this very kitchen. Edrick had begun that day so coldly and had been so distant from the children, but he eventually warmed up to them as we spent the day together. I realized that day that the Alpha billionaire actually did like children, although I wasn’t certain if he would ever admit it. Secretly, I wished that he would be so warm toward me at home, despite the termination of our sleeping arrangement.

Finally, I was broken free from my thoughts by Sophia once again. She gave me a concerned look as she raised her cup of tea to her lips. “Are you sure you’re alright?” she said. “Are you sick?”

I shook my head. “No, I’m really fine. Just a little tired today, that’s all.” I took the last sip of my tea then and stood. “Thank you for the tea. I’m going to play with the children for a while, if that’s alright.”

Sophia nodded and shot me a smile, although I could tell that she didn’t entirely believe me when I said that I was fine. Before she could inquire further, however, I returned to the playroom and spent the afternoon with the children.

We spent the day playing hide and seek, having tea parties, and doing arts and crafts, and by the end of the day Ella had made quite a few friends. She couldn’t stop chattering about Clara and all of
