Chapter 582
Haley waved her hand, and the four children, sweaty from playing, quickly gathered around, then obediently bid farewell to the Martinez family.
As soon as the car stopped at the Winston Mansion, Haley saw Brenda in the flower hall, a vacant look clouding her eyes.
Haley asked Alfred to take the four children to bathe first, then walked towards the flower hall.
"Mom," Haley called out, but Brenda didn't react at all. Haley had to raise her voice and call out again.
"Haley, you're back." Brenda came to her senses, a smile appearing on her face. "Are the children adapting well at the Martinez family?"
"They're having a great time," Haley paused and said softly, "Do you have Ivan's new contact information?"
Brenda's expression suddenly stiffened.
She seemed completely unprepared for Haley to ask this question. She was hesitating for a while before saying, "Ivan is on a business trip to the outskirts of Eldoria, where there are no signal towers. His phone can't get any reception there, nor can it receive text messages."
"It's okay. I don't need to contact Ivan right now. I'll just save his number," Haley smiled and said, "So when Ivan comes back and calls me, I'll know who it is."
Brenda suddenly sighed and said, "Haley, I'm sorry for you about Ivan."
Haley slowly retracted her smile as she asked, "Mom, why do you say that?"
"On the day of the wedding, Ivan couldn't stay until the end of the ceremony. And on the first day of the marriage, he went on a business trip," Brenda's eyes dodged as she said. "When Ivan returns from this trip, I will definitely remind him to spend some time with you, preferably go on a honeymoon together and add a member to the Winston family."
As soon as having children was mentioned, Haley felt a bit uncomfortable.
The night Haley gave birth four years ago was extremely dangerous, casting a huge shadow over her. She really didn't want to be pregnant and give birth again.
"Mom, you go ahead. I'll go in and check on the children." Haley interrupted Brenda and walked out of the flower hall.
As soon as Haley entered the living room, she paused. She had originally come to ask Brenda for Ivan's contact information. Why did she change the subject?
Or could it be that she didn't have Ivan's phone number?
Haley sat on the sofa, pursing her lips.
She didn't know if she was being too suspicious, but she always felt that Ivan had completely changed into a different person after marriage, and Brenda seemed different, too.
Where did things go wrong?
Haley pressed her temples, her mind filled with various thoughts.
Todd had just finished bathing and came out. He stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor, able to see Haley's furrowed brow.
In a moment of recollection, Todd remembered that when he passed by Haley's study yesterday, he seemed to have seen Haley frowning, looking melancholic.
Knowing Haley well, Todd was sure she had something on her mind!
Todd pursed his pink lips and was about to go downstairs.
At that moment, Todd's smartwatch vibrated, and he checked to see a message from K.
K: [There is a five-billion-dollar order from DeRoss family, do we take it?]
Looking downstairs again, Todd saw Haley heading to the kitchen to boil water. He turned back to his room and opened the laptop hidden under the bed.
During this time, Todd spent two hours every night building his hacker studio, which was now starting to take shape.
However, Todd's studio was newly established and not yet trusted by everyone, so he hadn't taken on any major orders.
In the few seconds that Todd opened his laptop, K sent him several more messages frantically.
