Chapter 608 True Friendship

When Eilam came home, he gave me a lovely rose and said it was from Shawn. After hearing that it was from Shawn, I carefully placed it in a vase and set it out in the living room.

By the time Kevin woke up, I had already finished my breakfast. Eilam went back to his room to take a nap after breakfast while I went out on a walk with Eins and Zwei. On my way back, I saw a new face at the entrance. He said he was Eilam's bodyguard, Seth Zander.

I nodded in greeting. "You don't need to wait by the entrance. You can go back to the car. It must be quite tiring to stand out here all day."

Seth was startled. "Yes, Mrs. Xenos."

I led Eins and Zwei back into the house. Kevin was done with breakfast and was in the living room playing hide and seek with the two children. "What can they eat now?" I asked the nanny.

"They're being weaned from breast milk so they can have some milk formula."

"I'll go and prepare it then."

I volunteered myself for the task. Once I had finished attending to them, I got a call from Christopher. He asked me in a warm, gentle tone, "Are you free today, little girl?"

I recalled what he had suggested the day before yesterday.

"Yeah. Are we leaving now?"

"It's just the neighboring city. If we leave early, we can come back earlier too."

"Can we get back by tonight?"

"Yes, of course," Christopher replied.

I went upstairs and got changed. When I came back down, Kevin saw me all dressed up and asked curiously, "Where are you going, Ray?"

"I'm attending a concert. Do you want to come along, Kev?"

"Well, I have to report to the office later. Why don't you talk to Sunny about it on my behalf, Ray? Ask him to let me take the day off and have some fun with you."

Kevin always wanted me to make such requests on his behalf!

"In your dreams," I rejected at once.

"Please, Ray? I'm begging you."

"I'm not familiar with the place I'm heading to today. Why don't I take you out a few days later? I promise I won't let you slave away for too long, Kev."
