Chapter 953
The food on the second day of the new year was pretty lavish.
After lunch, they were supposed to head over to the Martinez Mansion. But with the Winston Family making headlines, a bunch of reporters were camped out on the winding road below, just waiting for Haley to step out so they could swarm her for an interview.
Amara called and suggested they visit the Martinez Mansion for dinner in a few days instead. So, the afternoon was free again.
"Owen, in a few days you'll need to go to the company to handle some business," Todd said calmly. "Are you ready for it?"
Owen scratched his nose, looking a bit unsure. "I think so."
"What do you mean 'I think so'?" Keith cut in. "This afternoon, I'll throw some emergency scenarios at you to handle."
"Come on, can't we just chill on the second day of the new year?" Owen grumbled.
"Owen, you can play by yourself. I need to practice the piano," Angela said, blinking. "Daddy said he'd set up a recital for me soon, so I need to practice more."
Owen's face fell. Keith was always serious, Todd was too boring, and Angela was the only one who'd play with him.
Now that Angela was going to practice the piano, if he still wanted to mess around, he wouldn't be living up to his role as Angela and Todd's older brother.
"Alright," Owen said, making a big decision. "Keith and Todd can test me together. If I mess up, I won't eat dinner tonight."
Ivan smirked. "Just don't go crying to Mommy then."
"I won't!" Owen huffed. "I'm a brave five-year-old boy; I won't cry!"
Haley chuckled. "Alright, it's settled then."
Keith stood up. "Let's go upstairs. I'll get the questions ready."
Todd pushed back his chair and stood up. "I'll find some classic questions online."
Seeing how serious Todd and Keith were, Owen suddenly felt a bit regretful. The sound of Angela playing the piano already filled the living room, leaving Owen no choice but to head upstairs.
"I'll take a walk with you," Ivan said, wrapping his arm around Haley and whispering in her ear.
Haley shook her head. "I'm a bit tired. I'll go take a nap."
Last night, as soon as she stepped out, there was trouble. With reporters still outside, she decided it was best not to go out and cause more issues.
She was about to get up when Ivan scooped her into his arms and carried her to the bedroom.
As soon as the door closed, Ivan kissed her. Breathless from the kiss, Haley weakly pushed against his chest. "It's daytime. What if the kids come in?"
"They won't," Ivan said, holding her waist gently. "You seem to be a bit sleepy lately."
"Yeah, I am a bit tired," Haley admitted with a nod.
Actually, when she was asleep, she wouldn't suddenly become agitated. It was a way for her to protect herself.
"If you're tired, get some good rest. I'll sleep with you," Ivan said, laying her on the bed and covering her with a blanket.
Haley grabbed his hand. "Just sleep with me?"
