Zane just smiled, not saying a word. At that moment, Edward and the others walked up.

Jocelyn spoke up, her voice cheerful. “Alright, I’ll take it from here. You all need to come by for a visit next time you have some free time.”

She then turned to Elysia, her face lighting up with a bright smile. “Elysia, don’t forget to come see me soon

“Okay, Jocelyn,” Elysia replied, returning the smile.

Once Elysia agreed, Jocelyn finally let go of Quinita’s hand. Her smile grew even wider, and after a few more quick words, Edward and the others got into the car.

It wasn’t until their car was out of sight that Felix wrapped his arm around Jocelyn’s shoulder, and they began walking back.

“Elysia’s one of those kids everyone just loves. If she weren’t so young. I’d be heading over to the Evans residence to ask if she could marry Zane,” Jocelyn said. Her smile was wide, her eyes sparkling with happiness.

Then, as if something had occurred to her, she turned to Zane, her smile fading slightly. “Let me make one thing clear. If you ever hurt Elysia, I won’t let you get away with it.”

Zane raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a smirk. “Elysia hasn’t even stepped into the house yet, and you’re already ready to disown your own son?”

Jocelyn rolled her eyes. “I’m not disowning you,” she said firmly. “I’m not that stupid. Even if I did, I’d wait until Elysia’s in the house first. After all, how else would I find a son to marry her?”

Zane couldn’t help but think to himself, ‘So, my purpose in life is just to marry Elysia?‘

Jocelyn, completely unaware of the thought running through his mind, continued. “Zane, did you hear me? Don’t mess with Elysia, or else—”

“Or else, you won’t let me off the hook.” Zane finished saying that for her.

Jocelyn stopped talking, giving him a look of clear disdain. “Good. Now, let’s go,” she said, picking up her pace.

Zane followed slowly behind her, his mind racing. He’d always been the one getting ignored–whether it was by his grandpa or his parents.

But as he thought about how much they spoiled Elysia, he figured it didn’t really matter.

‘Well, it’s just being ignored. As long as Elysia’s well treated, that’s all that matters, he thought to himself.

Elysia looked exhausted. She had been resting her head on Quinita’s shoulder the whole way, her eyes barely open. Only when the car came to a stop in front of the Evans residence did she blink her eyes open.
