Andre sat on the edge of the bed as Henry, giggling with delight, rolled over to his father's side, his little hands patting the bed while he kicked and squirmed excitedly.

Andre's large hand settled on his son's back, "So, at four in the morning yesterday, Havenbrook posted a Candy Crush link on Facebook."

Mia quickly pulled out her phone to check and indeed, "That old man, at two in the morning the day before yesterday, sent me a link to play Hearts. He ran out of virtual coins and had to share it with friends to get more for free." After Mia saw it, she warned Hansen to go to sleep immediately, but the old man haughtily didn't reply to the message.

Both spouses looked at Henry entertaining himself on the bed. Mia scooped up Henry into her arms and said, "Son, it's up to you to deal with your granddad."

Henry looked up and giggled happily.

After spending a week with Cooper, it was almost time to leave.

Mia sat on the edge of the bed in the bedroom, wiping away her tears with a sense of reluctance, all alone.

Seeing his mom shedding "golden beans," Henry's little mouth pouted, feeling aggrieved.

"Honey, once we leave, Cooper will be all alone again. I wish we hadn't come; from bustling to quiet, the more I think about it, the more it hurts me." Mia was preoccupied with thoughts of her brother being lonely.

Andre stood in front of his wife, gently wiping the tears from her eyes, "How about I rearrange some work stuff, and we stay here to keep Cooper company for a few more days?"

Mia shook her head, "Let's stick to our original plan, otherwise your schedule will be disrupted. It's just hard leaving Cooper here all by himself, but there's not much we can do." Henry started crying for his mom.

Cooper had just been discussing homework online with a classmate at the hotel when he heard his nephew cry, unable to leave it be, "Sorry, one moment, my little one is crying." Entering the master bedroom, Cooper found not just his little nephew crying, but his sister too.

"Crying for what? Can't bear to leave me?" Cooper sat beside Mia, snatching the child from her arms. "I've gotten used to living here, stop crying sis, you're making me... me... look down on you." Mia punched her brother with a "thud."

Mom hitting someone, Henry immediately stopped crying.
