Ethan’s eyes softened as he smiled at his daughter. He looked at her gently. “That’s what I mean,” he said. “From <i>now </i>on, we’re a family. I will always stay with you and Mommy, okay?”
“Yay!”
Dulce pped her hands, so happy she forgot about her toys.
“Then if Mommy tells me to leave again, can you help speak up for me?”
Ethan looked straight at Dulce, lowering himself to her eye level. “I had upset your mommy; it takes a long time for me to cheer her up. But I have to stay with you both.”
His voice was deep and calm. Dulce didn’t really understand, but she nodded hard anyway.
Ethan smiled helplessly and set her down on the couch.
He really was running out of options, so much so that he was putting his hopes on Dulce.
He knew this wasn’t right.
This move was despicable.
But if Dulce’s words worked, what was wrong with that?
Ethan leaned back and stared at the ceiling. His eyes were full of haze.
Dawn’s meetingsted for three hours. When it finally ended, it was already 11:30 p.m. She walked while listening to Mason go over the afternoon schedule. Then her eyes drifted toward the lounge area nearby, and her steps suddenly stopped.
‘Mr. Curran would like to have a video meeting with you.”
When Dawn stopped, Mason finally noticed and looked up. “Ms. Porter?”
He followed her gaze. On the couch in the lounge, a father and daughter sat side by side, their backs to them. They seemed to be watching something interesting outside the window. They turned their heads andughed together.
It was a scene no painter, no matter how gifted, could ever capture. It was so warm it almost hurt to look at.
Dawn smiled softly. “Go ahead with your work. We’ll keep the afternoon schedule flexible.”
Mason nodded, hesitated, then asked, “Would you like me to order food delivered?”
“No need. We’ll eat out.”

“Yes, sweetheart.”
Dawn closed her eyes as she received a kiss from her daughter and asked gently, “When did you get here? Why didn’t you tell me?<i>” </i>
<b>“</b>#$!~? came!”
She babbled a lot. Only thest word was clear.
Ethan said calmly, “She means we came shortly after you left.”
“Shortly? How short was that?”
“About ten minutes,” Ethan added.
Dawn opened her mouth, then realized she didn’t know what to say.
Ethan had already said he’d settled hispany issues. What right did she have to stop him?
Besides, she didn’t really have a position anymore.
She took a breath. “Let’s go eat.”
She held Dulce and walked toward the elevator. Her voice softened. “Sweetheart, is there anything you want to eat?”
Ethan lowered his eyes and went back into the office.
When he came out, he was carrying Dawn’s handbag. It looked natural, almost effortless.
Dawn nced at his hand quietly. Her heart trembled a little, but she pretended not to notice.
Thepany was in the downtown area. There were plenty of ces to eat, but it was peak hour. Every ce they tried had a long
wait.
Ethan checked his watch. “How about Cretelese cuisine?”
There was a private kitchen they used <i>to </i>visit.
Dawn agreed without thinking.
The food was light. Dulce could eat some too.
Unlike other restaurants, this private kitchen was members–only and required reservations. But Ethan’s status was special Even the owner showed respect. When they arrived, the owner came out personally to greet them.
“It’s been years,” the owner said with a smile. “Ms. Porter is just as beautiful as ever”
Dawn treated it as polite talk. She nodded slightly.
<b>“</b>Thank you.”
The owner seemed <b>to </b><b>fall </b>into old memories as he led them inside. “Seeing you still together makes me truly happy. Back then, Mi. Jackson, for your sake-”
Before he could finish<b>, </b><b>Ethan’s </b><b>cough </b><b>suddenly </b>cut in.

He looked calm, but the tips of his ears turned red.
“We’re here,” he said.
He set Dulce down. “Dawn, let’s eat first.”

Dawn rarely saw him this awkward. Instead of letting it go, she grew curious. Her bright eyes turned to the owner. “You didn’t finish. What did Ethan do back then?”
There was no escape; Ethan pretended to be rxed. He picked up Dulce and took her aside to y.
The owner covered his mouth and coughed lightly, thenughed. “It’s nothing, really. He’s your man. Of course he’d do anything for you.
“But honestly,” he continued, “I’ve never seen a man of his standing go that far for his wife.
“He said once you were married, you shouldn’t be eating out all the time. He asked me to introduce some chefs. He trained with them for days. His arms were covered in oil burns. I even heard he skipped work because of it.”
