The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1515

Nevertheless, her mind wasn't at ease to think about her children's matters right now. She shook her head dismissively at Ida. "Nothing much. He might just be a little timid."

Timid?

Adrian was never shy, even when he was just a baby. When did he become so bashful?

Ida looked at 'Adrian' with even more confusion. Something about the kid just didn't feel right.

Ellinor arched an eyebrow at her. "What brings you here all of a sudden? You didn't even give me a heads-up.”

Ida replied somewhat innocently. “Didn’t I mention yesterday that I wanted to come over and see the kids? But I got held up at the last minute and couldn’t make it. Boss, I did call you before I came over today, but you didn’t pick up, so I just came over myself.”

Only then did Ellinor check her phone. Sure enough, Ida had called her twice, but she hadn’t heard it.

Maybe she was just too distracted today.

“I took the kids to Joyful Kids Park, so I didn’t hear the phone ring. Anyway, can you watch the kids for me? I’m gonna go upstairs and change, then I’ll come down to join you guys.”

Ida nodded and watched as Ellinor headed upstairs.

At this moment, Veronica came over and whispered to Ida. “Don’t you think there’s something off about her today? She seems unusually down.”

Ida glanced at Veronica. “Maybe it’s all the stress from taking over your family’s company. She’s probably just exhausted.”

Ida noticed that Layla, the child in her arms, looked upset upon hearing their conversation. She furrowed her brows and quickly got the two girls to shut up.

"Okay, that's enough. Don't discuss these things in front of the kids. It'll upset them if they hear it."

Layla did look unhappy. She asked, "Aunt Ida, were you guys just saying that Mommy is depressed? Is Mommy unhappy every day because Daddy is not coming back?"

Ida, Belinda, and Veronica all fell silent, unsure of how to explain this to the child.

"Layla, don't worry too much. Adults have their bad days too. Your mommy will be happy again after she rests."

Layla pouted. "I've noticed too that Mommy has been unhappy every day, especially recently. If Daddy is never coming back, could you guys introduce a nice man to Mommy to be our new dad? Maybe Mommy is just too lonely. She needs someone to accompany her, just like how Daddy used to be with her."
