Chapter 588
"Sort of." Brenda sighed. "Things over at the Eldoria plant are complicated. The Winston Group has lost a lot of money. Your daddy has been dealing with clients every day, and his temper is bound to worsen."
"But..." Todd spoke lightly, "Daddy's work troubles shouldn't be brought home."
"I'm just reminding you all." Brenda patted the children's heads. "When your daddy comes back, he'll find Keith has grown taller again, Todd's hair has grown longer, Owen has two pimples on his forehead, and Angela has become even more beautiful."
Half a month was not long, but it was definitely not short.
People would change.
Brenda clenched her palms tightly, repeatedly convincing herself that she must keep the truth hidden.
At six o'clock in the evening, the Winston family's dinner was already prepared.
The four children played in the yard while waiting for Ivan to return.
Even Owen, who usually dislikes Ivan the most, kept looking towards the door this time.
Being separated from Ivan for half a month, Owen really missed Ivan.
Although Ivan was strict, he loved him very much, and he loved Haley more.
Owen looked once again at the winding mountain road outside the door, his face full of disappointment. He asked, "Daddy won't be coming back today, will he?"
Haley smiled and said, "Dad is busy with work. It's normal if he doesn’t come back. Let's eat first and then continue waiting, okay?"
The four children nodded obediently.
After dinner, as night fell, the children waited until they were drowsy.
After Haley bathed the children, she carried them to bed and told them three or four bedtime stories. The children gradually drifted off to sleep.
Glancing at the time, it was already eleven o'clock at night.
Ivan still hadn't returned.
It seemed that Ivan wouldn't be coming back tonight.
Haley chuckled and walked into the master bedroom to freshen up and sleep.
Just then, a bright car light swept across the villa's entrance, and a black car drove into the yard.
Haley stood at the top of the stairs, her gaze cold as she watched Ivan, dressed in a black suit, slowly walk in.
After half a month apart, Ivan didn’t look much different, but there was something about his aura that made Haley feel increasingly estranged from him.
Was this really the Ivan she had once loved?
Although she still loved Ivan deep down, when Ivan appeared before Haley, she realized that her heart didn't surge with the expected affection.
Haley fell into deep self-doubt.
Their eyes met in the air.
"You're still up so late. Are you waiting for me to come back?" Martin walked in, a hint of a smile playing at the corner of his mouth, appearing more like a smirk.
The image from the news flashed in Haley's mind.
She pressed her crimson lips together and descended the stairs step by step.
