Chapter 314 - 313. Time Of Normalcy (3)
As we made our way back, Kai adjusted his flower crown, his small fingers carefully shifting the delicate petals into place. I walked ahead while Lyall strolled beside Kate, and my father walked with Kai, their pace leisurely.
I glanced back just in time to see my father reach out and gently adjust Kai’s crown for him. The boy looked up, blinking in surprise before offering a small, hesitant smile. My father returned it with a nod, and something about the moment made my chest feel warm.
The rest of the day passed peacefully, filled with the usual routines. As evening approached, I made my way to my office to pass on an order to Roan regarding our night outing.
"You’re not going to take it easy, even for a day?" he asked, giving me a pointed look.
I smiled. "I am taking it easy."
Roan sighed but didn’t argue.
"Be ready at midnight," I added.
"Yes, Master," he replied with a bow before leaving.
After finishing my tasks, I headed toward my father’s room. I could sense Kai’s energy there as well, confirming my guess that he was with him. Since it was dinner time, I wanted to fetch them myself.
I was just about to step inside when my father’s voice reached me through the slightly ajar door.
"If you want, you could come stay at Aurelius Mansion," he offered, his tone warm. "Reina is usually busy, and my son, Rune, is also away from home, so we could play together and have fun."
