Stanley didn’t think much about it. Once I finish my work today, I’ll have time for the amusement park tomorrow.
Monica was still working. The office was brightly lit, and as night fell, the designers took their leave.
“I’ll be going now, Miss Keller.”
“Still working, Miss Keller?”
“See you, Miss Keller.”
“Bye, Miss Keller”
And then only Monica was left in the office.
Lydia came in holding a file, and she was surprised to see Monica still around. “Miss Keller, you’re going to pull an all–nighter again?” novelbin
“I don’t have time. Don’t want to waste any time doing anything unnecessary.” She kept drawing on. She was in a good mood thanks to Taylor telling her that Stanley’s condition was improving.
“But you need to rest.” Lydia looked worried. “What if you ruin your body?”
“You should leave now.” Monica looked at her. “I won’t be going home. Not sleepy.”
“You’re going to fall sick at this rate.“.
Monica smiled. “Ah, you’re exaggerating. For years I’ve been sleeping late. I’m used to it.”
Stanley was at the study, going through sets of data on his computer. The look in his eyes was cold and unforgiving, the air around him fraught with tension.
Gael was downstairs, and he approached the children, whispering, “Young Master Samuel, Young Miss Pamela, I need your help.”
“Of course, Mr. Swanson.”
Gael huddled closer and whispered something into their ears. The children listened intently, and then they nodded.
“Let’s go.” Samuel took Pamela upstairs and found Melinda in the closet room.
“Daddy’s been working a lot lately. Even forgot about dinner, Mommy.” Samuel held Melinda’s hand, looking up at her. Then he sweetly asked, “Can you whip something up for him?”
Pamela said, “Yeah, Mommy. Please. It won’t take long. You’ll do it, won’t you?”
“You seem to worry about him a lot,” Melinda commented as she observed the kids. “I’ll do it.” Well, I do want them to think better of me.
The children leaped in delight.
Seeing Melinda going into the kitchen filled Gael with joy. Melinda whipped something up and turned around, then she saw Gael standing at the kitchen’s entrance. “Thank you, Madam,” he said.

Melinda spaced out a little. She was reminded of the wound on Stanley’s back. It’s a big wound. I thought he should’ve had it looked at. Why is it so wrinkly?
Sherry and Gael were the only ones who truly cared about Stanley, she thought. Not even his mother actually cares about him. Everyone sees him as a god. As something perfect. He barely has any true friends.
“Mommy, come here. We have some secrets to tell you.”
The children spoke, snapping her out of it. They led her away from the kitchen, and she asked, “What is it this time? You seem to have a lot of secrets.”
Gael knocked on the study’s door.
“Come in.” Stanley looked up, surprised to see Gael coming in with a bowl of food.
“Sir, Madam made this for you. She’s worried about you overworking yourself. Eat it while it’s hot.
She made this? His sharp gaze melted a little, and a surge of warmth filled his heart.
”
The butler placed the bowl of food on Stanley’s desk, and he smiled. “The madam worries about
For some reason, Stanley feels a lot better. “I see. Thank you.”
