Audrey replied to Shawn’s message.
“Follow Lucy’s instructions and treat Mr. Murray well. | hope he'll be satisfied when he
returns,”
Just as Audrey sent the message, the doorbell rang. She quickly put down her phone and opened the door, Standing at the door were Ryan and Dallas, Dallas stood silently before a large suitcase, still pouting. Ryan gently patted Dallas‘ head and said to Audrey, “Dallas misses you; and
coincidentally, | have nothing else to do these days.”
Audrey quickly squatted down to pick Dallas up and reached out to pull the suitcase.
“Till do it,” Ryan said.
She stepped aside to let Ryan in, not even paying attention to the teary-eyed Dallas in
her arms.
She asked Ryan, “Have you arranged everything in the group?”
“Don't worry, everything’s been arranged. | haven't taken a vacation in years, so this time I'll take a break. If there’s an emergency, Julian will contact me.”
Ryan took off his coat and went to check the refrigerator. “I'll take Dallas to the supermarket later and buy some things for dinner. You can do your own thing.’
Ryan’s first visit felt strangely familiar, as if he were returning to his own home.
“Dallas hasn't caused you any trouble these past few days, has he?” Audrey patted the little one in her arms and smiled at Ryan. “No, Dallas is very independent. He can do things on his own.” Ryan’s words came from
the heart.
For a child under four years old, Dallas was indeed very independent.
Dallas raised his eyebrows and showed a proud expression.
Audrey chuckled and pinched Dallas‘ cheek. “Dallas is the most independent!”
When the three of them went to the supermarket, Ryan put Dallas in the shopping cart

and pushed him while Audrey walked ahead to grab a carton of milk.
Dallas gripped the cart’s handle and struggled to grab a box of strawberry milk. Before Dallas could get it, Ryan had already put two boxes in the cart.
Dallas looked up at Ryan, who was reaching out to give him a cheese stick, his ears turning red again. The young boy couldn't contain his smile.
When the three returned from the supermarket, Ryan and Audrey unpacked in the kitchen while Dallas sat in the living room, snacking and watching TV.
He couldn't help but take a photo with his tablet and send it to Lily.
Soon, a video call from Lily popped up, and Dallas hugged his tablet as he entered his
room to answer it.
“You're so sneaky! Hanging out with Mom and Dad!” Lily pouted. Though slightly jealous, she still asked with concern, “So, any signs that Mom and Dad might get back together?”
“| think our previous speculation might be wrong.” Dallas pondered. “It doesn’t seem like Mommy and that man are fighting. | think Mr. Lambert Senior just doesn’t approve of Mom being with him. Keep it quiet for now and discreetly gather more information.”
“Got it. Leave it to me!” Lily made an OK gesture and asked quietly, “Dallas, what do you think of Daddy?” Dallas pursed his lips and didn’t say anything. Lily giggled. “Dad’s pretty good, isn’t he? He tells bedtime stories at night to help me sleep, and he’s really strong!”
“You be good and stay with Mr. Lambert Senior and Mrs. Lambert Senior. Remember to call me if anything happens.” Dallas reminded Lily. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
