Chapter 170

OLIVIA

The facility manager called us two days ago to inform us that she had scheduled the interviews for today. We were meeting the first five candidates we had selected. As I was getting ready, I realized I didn’t know where Marcus was, as he wasn’t in the room when I woke up. I finished getting dressed and stepped out of the room, only to bump into my husband, who was carrying a jug of juice.

“Perfect timing! I made us breakfast. It’s going to be a long day, and I wanted us to have enough energy to get through it,” he said. I smiled. How did I get so lucky? I kissed him on the cheek and followed him to the dining room, where Samuel was already sitting and eating pancakes.

I never understood his obsession with pancakes. He loved them, always starting his day with them. I tried to make his snacks and lunch a little healthier. “Morning, baby,” I kissed the top of his head before sitting down. “Where’s Grandma and Lupita?” I asked.

“They’re here. Someone was refusing to wear socks, saying it was too hot, yet her feet are always cold,” Lupita said, glaring at grandma as she took a seat next to Samuel, kissing his cheek. “You think I was born yesterday? I’ve been on this earth longer than both of you combined, and I know my body better than you. When I say it’s hot, then it’s hot!”

She complained as she filled her plate, and I shook my head. She loved to complain, but later at night, she would be grumbling about sore feet and knees. “Tell them, Grandma! Who do they think they are treating you like a child?” Marcus said as he sat down next to me.

“Don’t start with me, Marcus. You’re just like them, fussing over nonsense,” Grandma retorted. Lupita and I laughed.

“But Grandma, I’m on your side this time,” Marcus said, but Grandma ignored him, which made Lupita and me laugh even harder.

“Hurry up and eat so we can leave,” Marcus said, trying to stop our laughter.
