Chapter 77

Lunar Heights Estate.

Irwin was clamoring to build a snowman, and because Rosita was too frail to play outside with him, Stewart stepped in himself.

From the sunroom upstairs, Rosita watched her husband and son in the snowy yard below, their laughter drifting up to her. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and contentment.

Suddenly, a phone vibrated on the wooden tea table beside her.

It was Stewart's phone.

Rosita walked over and picked it up, pausing when she saw the caller ID: Cedric Clarke.

Her hand stilled for a moment as she recalled a video she'd just watched online. She glanced through the window at Stewart and Irwin, still playing in the snow.

After a breath, she set the phone back down, lifted her cup of herbal tea, and sipped slowly, savoring the warmth.

At the hospital, Cedric Clarke had already called five times, but no one answered. "This is odd. Why isn't Stewart picking up?" he muttered.

"Maybe he's ignoring you on purpose!" Stella was clearly agitated. "He probably guessed you were calling about Bryn and decided not to answer!"

"Stewart isn't like that," Cedric replied with conviction. "He's probably just busy—" "Oh, forget it! I must be out of my mind to think Stewart would help!" Stella sighed in frustration. "I'll just go to the Kensingtons myself!"
