Her tenderness nearly moved me to tears.
Meanwhile, Caleb, though his expression grew stern, ignored Alexandria who remained on the ground. Instead, he came over to assist me to my feet. Scooping up Elena, he flashed a reassuring smile and suggested, Lets go inside. Ill have the doctor check on Elena later.
Jenifer approached with a warm smile. Youre finally home. Come in, its chilly out here. You dont want to catch a cold.
Nodding gratefully at Jenifer, I managed to compose myself and followed Caleb inside, along with the three children.

Elenas wide eyes held innocence as she asked, Will you leave again, Mommy?
Dylan mirrored her anxiety. Did you miss us, Mommy?
Fighting back tears, I whispered, I promise, I wont leave again. I missed you both terribly.
The long separation had left them apprehensive, unwilling to let me out of their sight.
Thankfully, Abby was asleep under the watchful eye of a servant, sparing me the challenge of managing three children at once.
Caleb, despite a pile of work, cleared his schedule to spend quality time with us. We enjoyed a peaceful afternoon together.
As evening settled, we prepared for dinner.
A lone bodyguard stationed outside the door, his gaze fixed on the living room, caught my attention.
I frowned slightly and tapped Calebs arm discreetly, directing his gaze outward.
Following my cue, Caleb turned and saw the bodyguard.
Is that man here for you? I inquired. Shouldnt you see him?
Caleb replied nonchalantly, Lets eat first. The children are hungry.
He then ushered the kids towards the dining room.
My unease intensified as I watched Caleb leave, then looked at the bodyguard.
Caleb remained tight-lipped, leaving me with more questions than answers.
