Chapter 57 Formation of the Squad

In the days that followed, Leon kept a tight leash on the three kids, barely letting them out of his sight. Every time they tried to sneak out to find Tiffany, Leon would catch them in the act.

The kids were getting pretty frustrated.

In Barry's room, they all sat on the edge of the bed, looking at each other with glum faces, and sighed again.

Sam slapped his thigh, breaking the silence. He jumped off the bed, hands on his hips. "This can't go on! Daddy brought us back, but does that mean we'll never see Mommy again?"

Flora shook her head and looked at Sam. "Sam, do you have any ideas? I want to see Mommy, but Daddy's always so mad."

Sam furrowed his brows, deep in thought. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he remembered Bronte, the woman standing between their parents.

"Daddy's getting engaged to that woman. If we mess up their engagement party, maybe Daddy and Mommy will get back together!"

Barry's eyes widened as he remembered something. "I overheard Daddy on the phone. He's been looking for someone from five years ago. Later, he said Bronte was the one, but it always seemed fishy to me. Sam, do you think she might be lying to Daddy?" Sam's eyes sparkled. This was a game-changer. If Bronte was lying, she wouldn't stand

a chance with Leon!

"Barry, this is perfect! Let's dig into what happened five years ago. If we stop the engagement, Mommy can come back!"

The three kids agreed and decided to investigate the past. They left Barry's room, thinking they might find some clues in Leon's study.

But as soon as they stepped out, they bumped into Damon, who was carrying three bowls of chicken soup upstairs. Damon smiled at them. "Where are you all headed?" Leon had told Damon to keep an eye on the kids and not let them sneak out again. Sam knew Damon responded better to sweetness than force. With his most charming voice, he ran downstairs, helped Damon carry the soup to the dining table, and blinked his big eyes adorably.
