Chapter 687 The Escape Plan

Zeke walked over to help her up. “Don't overthink. Sofie will not harm Dad if she wants to leave the country. After all, she needs his help to get out of here. I'm sure she won't make things difficult for him for the time being.”

Waverly gave herself a tight slap. “We shouldn't have kept this from you. If we had told you earlier, things wouldn't have ended up like this.”

Zeke narrowed his eyes and responded, “You were also worried that Sofie might come at us if we learned the truth. Although your good intentions led to unintended consequences, we can understand why you did that, so stop worrying and blaming yourself. We're here for you, and Dad will definitely be fine.”

Waverly disregarded his comment and turned her attention to Bailey. “Bay, will you forgive us?”

Bailey felt irritated and amused at the same time.

Not long ago, they had opposed her return to the Shurmer family, but now their attitude had changed drastically.

She wished they could just treat her like how they had ignored her in the past. At least it would not have added to the pressure.

After a short pause, she replied, “You're causing me so much trouble.”

Upon hearing that, Waverly responded with a soft chuckle.

The fact that Bailey found them troublesome was an indication that she still cared for them.

“Yes, yes, yes. We're the troublemakers. But don't worry; from now on, we'll act cautiously and not let this happen again,” she said before walking toward the door. “Have a chat with your brother first. I'll cook something nice for you to eat.”

Her reaction left Bailey speechless.

After Waverly left, Zeke chuckled and said, “You know, it's important for parents and children not to let past grudges come between them. Mom isn't a bad person at heart; she was just misled by Zoey.”

Bailey grinned, trying to change the topic. “So what's your plan after this?”
