Chapter 1904

Larkin looked at Wayne, slightly taken aback.

Wayne smiled at him, saying, “I don’t want to obsess over the past anymore.”

Larkin wasn’t the type to insist.

Plus, some people had suggested before not to force Wayne into trying to recover his memories.

The most natural way was the best.

“I get it,” Larkin nodded, “In that case, I have more time, I can take Erica to more places she likes.”

“Good,” Wayne responded.

Both of them weren’t too talkative, so they each went on with their own business, not saying anything more. At the parking lot, their families got into their respective cars, then split up to go their separate ways. Because of Max’s injury, the back seats of the car he was in were folded down, connecting with the trunk. Ivy took over the responsibility of caring for her pet dog.

Molly, being inseparable from Ivy now, naturally got into the–same–car

Felix decided to follow them.

In Rosalynn’s car, it was her, Wayne, and Cory.

She originally wanted to bring Liam along as well.

However, by the time she looked for Liam, he had silently gone to Ableson’s car.

The day Ivy was pushed into the water by Jennifer, Liam was there too.

He was scared too, but didn’t follow them to the hospital, he went home instead.

He was a quiet kid to begin with, but now he had become even quieter.

After Rosalynn got in the car, she helped Cory check his seatbelt, casually mentioning, “I forgot to chat with Liam these past few days.”

“Chat about what?” Cory asked.

“Wasn’t he there when your sister fell into the water?” Rosalynn replied calmly, “You know, Liam is introverted. I’m worried if he’s keeping something inside.”

“Honey, you don’t have to worry about everyone,” Wayne chimed in.

“Liam saved Ivy’s life before, and he doesn’t have any family around. We should care more about him,” Rosalynn looked back at Wayne.

Wayne was silent for two seconds, then said, “I understand.”

“Alright, let’s set off. I hope we can make it in time for dinner with grandma.”

The convoy slowly hit the road.

Rosalynn didn’t sleep well last night, and gradually fell asleep holding Cory’s small hand.

Wayne looked at her through the rear–view mirror, took out his phone, and sent à message.

Rosalynn was woken up by Wayne. Opening her eyes, they were already back at Moonlit Lake.

She stretched, and texted Paige, “Paige, we’re home safe, don’t worry.”

Paige immediately sent back a ton of voice messages.

Rosalynn listened as she got out of the car.

While listening to the messages, she subconsciously counted the number of people, quickly realizing something was off.

She noticed a car was missing, along with a few people.

“Where’s Ableson’s car?” Rosalynn asked, putting away her phone.

“Ma’am, Ableson just called to say that Liam wanted to go home directly, so he changed course to drop him off,” a security guard quickly said.

Rosalynn frowned slightly.

“That kid, going home without telling us. Kids are really hard to understand.”

As she was mumbling, Liam sent her a message.

“Mrs. Silverman, I still have homework to do, Ivy’s summer tutoring has been overdue for three days.”

Rosalynn thought for a moment, and sent him a reply, “Okay, you’ve worked hard, Liam. See you when school starts.”

As she sent the message, Wayne came over.

His gaze swept over Rosalynn’s phone screen.

“Is that a message from Liam?”

“Mm, he said he went home to do his homework. I thought he had finished them. It looks like your daughter has been keeping him busy,” Rosalynn said, looking around to see Ivy directing people to carry Max into the elevator.

“We shouldn’t have hired such a young kid to be a tutor in the first place,” Wayne said helplessly, “In the future, we should hire an adult to teach Ivy.”

“That’s not for us to decide, it depends on whether your daughter agrees,” Rosalynn said helplessly.

Wayne lowered his eyelids, not responding to Rosalynn’s words, “Let’s go inside first. Grandma is waiting for us to have dinner.”

“Okay!”
