Hearing the children’s voices from downstairs, Zinnia and Nathan exchanged puzzled looks.

“Who is it, Nathan?” Zinnia asked, her curiosity piqued, as the two of them headed downstairs together.

“Zinnia, they are so handsome. Come on out, you guys,” another child shouted excitedly from downstairs.

Stepping out of the living room, Zinnia and Nathan froze in surprise at the sight of the figures in the courtyard. It was Yannis and Jackson.

As soon as they came out, the little kid who led the way pointed excitedly at the two men behind them, saying, “Zinnia. Nathan. These two guys are looking for you.”

Yannis and Jackson each had a suitcase in tow.

Sunny circled the two men. His ears perked up as he let out a warning bark.

“Yannis, Jackson! What brings you guys here?” Zinnia exclaimed, unable to hide her excitement. She dashed over to them, her eyes wide with surprise. She never in a million years expected to see Yannis here.

Seeing Zinnia emerge, Sunny barked and dashed to her side, anxiously circling around her legs in an attempt to block her path.

Zinnia crouched down and gently ruffled Sunny’s fur, soothing him. “It’s okay, Sunny. They’re my cousins, not bad guys. Don’t worry,” she said.

Zinnia knew why Sunny was so on edge. Last time, when the Shaw family showed up all dressed up, she’d been taken away.

Now, whenever Sunny saw anyone looking all proper and formal, he’d get wary and start barking, but he always kept his distance and never actually bit anyone.

Yannis and Jackson had just left a party and rushed over by plane. They were still dressed in their formal suits, looking just like Howard when he came to take Zinnia away.

“Have you eaten yet?” Nathan asked, glancing at Jackson, who sat silently in the living room with a dark face.

“Not yet. We came in a hurry,” Yannis said as he and Jackson set down their suitcases.

They had flown in that afternoon. Their minds were elsewhere, and they had no time to eat on the plane. Now, it was already 10:30 p.m.

“Nathan baked me some pastries this afternoon, I’ll go get some for you guys,” Zinnia said. Then she dashed off to the kitchen upon hearing they hadn’t eaten yet.

For a moment, only Nathan, Jackson, and Yannis remained in the living room.

“I’ll go help,” Yannis said, glancing at Jackson, who sat there in stony silence. Then he got up and headed toward the kitchen.
