Chapter 2008: Catching a Turtle in a Pot

As the wedding approached, the household grew increasingly busy. After testing a few nannies, Joyce and Luther found that things around them seemed calmer, almost as if the storm had suddenly subsided, returning to the tranquil depths of the sea. Yet, a sense of unease lingered in the air.

On this day, Luther returned home, only to find no sign of Joyce. Just then, Elsa passed by, and Luther approached her, asking, "Have you seen Joyce?" Elsa responded, "I saw madam on the third-floor terrace." Luther immediately headed to the terrace to find Joyce.

Pushing open the glass door, he saw Joyce lying diagonally on a beach chair, basking in the sun. She seemed to be asleep, with the thin blanket that covered her now lying on the ground. Luther gingerly picked up the blanket and carefully draped it over her.

These days, she must have been tired. Initially, she took turns carrying Wilson or Cullen back to the room every day, spending nights putting the children to sleep. Eventually, she even moved into the nursery, watching over the children day and night. The nannies assumed Joyce was just wanting to be more hands-on with her children after giving birth, showing no signs of concern or unease. Meanwhile, Luther focused more on watching over Anderson and Iris.

After a brief nap, Joyce sensed someone by her side and woke up abruptly. Sitting up suddenly, she looked at the visitor and, upon seeing Luther, let out a sigh of relief. "You're back so early?" she inquired. Sitting beside her, Luther embraced her, "Did I wake you up?" Joyce hugged Luther back, gently shaking her head, "No, I was sunbathing with Wilson and Cullen before. Now that they're back in the nursery, I'm just lying here. If you come back, just wake me up."

Running his fingers through her soft hair, Luther suggested, "If you're tired, rest in my arms and have a little more sleep." Joyce shook her head, "Not tired. By the way, what about Mrs. Powell's situation?"
