Such inquiries were likely inherent in the father-daughter dynamic, considering Evelyn was Leonel’s offspring.
Calvin deemed it commonplace.
Tenderly caressing Evelyn’s brown curls, Calvin murmured, “He’s occupied with work. Isn’t it nice to have me here with you?”
Affectionate toward Calvin, Evelyn embraced him, whispering softly, “I Like you better.”
While Calvin offered a smile, a touch of melancholy lingered.
Leaning down, he gently ki*sed Evelyn’s forehead. “I know you do. Now, sleep tight.”
Having pacified Evelyn, Calvin gently retrieved Ollie from her embrace. The dog lay on the pillow, fixating its dark eyes on Evelyn, evidently sharing an affectionate bond.
Calvin ran his hand over Ollie’s fur.

Alexis nodded in acknowledgment. Approaching, she took a seat at the edge of the bed, delicately caressing Evelyn’s face.
Indeed, Evelyn bore a striking resemblance to Leonel.
Speaking softly, Calvin suggested, “If you were to have another child, Evelyn wouldn’t feel as lonely.”

Accompanied by Calvin, Alexis also attended the event.
Despite Alexis’ three-year absence from Duefron, her legend endured.
Attendees were taken aback by her return, especially in the company of Calvin, suggesting a harmonious relationship.
Surprisingly, Darwin and Serenity made an appearance as well.
Although Serenity had donned her finest attire, an air of unease clung to her. Taking the stage, she performed a piano piece.
