Getting Rosalynn's approval, Max didn't need any help. He dragged his own bed and headed straight for Ivy's room.
Jaime saw it and gave a loud cheer.
After hearing this, Max puffed out his chest and trotted even faster.
Rosalynn followed him, chuckling helplessly.
"Mom, can Max really sleep in my room tonight?" Ivy had just finished talking with Hilaria. When she heard that Max was going to sleep in her room, she was so excited that she jumped up.
"He already dragged his bed over here, what do you think?" Rosalynn replied with a smile.
Maybe Ivy was afraid to upset her dad, so she ripped off the band-aid on her forehead and used her bangs to cover the wound.
"Thank you, mom!"
Ivy threw herself into Rosalynn's arms, acting all cutesy.
Tonight, Ivy's room was the liveliest.
Not only was Max sleeping in her room, but Molly was also sleeping on her side.
When Rosalynn came out of Ivy's room, she saw Cory walking back with his pillow.
"Cory." Rosalynn called out.
Cory stopped, turned around and said, "Mom."
He had promised Orval at Larkin and Erica' wedding that he would help them build a system.
He had been in call with them all night about it.
After finishing work, it was already time for him to go to bed. He took a shower, changed into his pajamas, picked up his pillow, and was about to go to his sister's room.
Of course, he wasn't going there to guard against anyone.
He was just there because his sister had been scared before and didn't dare to sleep alone.
He was going to accompany his sister.
"Mom."
"Hmm?" Rosalynn sat next to him, responding gently.
"Do you ever feel like, Ivy has grown up all of a sudden?" He asked softly.
Once, Ivy was his little follower, wherever he was, she had to be there too.
When she was frightened or wronged, the first person she would always go to was him.
But... during this past year since they returned home, she had gradually stopped depending on him.
It didn't matter that they didn't go to the same school anymore, she had made many friends and had become braver.
"Yes." Rosalynn noticed her son's mood, gently nodded, and her voice became even softer. "But, I think you've grown up a lot too."
"Really?" Cory looked at Rosalynn seriously.
"Of course. It wasn't just me and Ivy who depended on you before, now there are more people depending on you. Like the engineer team at dad's company, and Orval, and all those friends who came to see you every day during the summer." Rosalynn counted on her fingers as she spoke, "In the past year, both you and Ivy have grown up a lot, which makes me both happy and a bit sad."
