Cooking always had a way of bringinga sense of purpose and once | got back, it was the activity | indulged
the most, since Christie usually helped as much as she could and Clara didn’t have enough reasons to stop me
from doing it.
It just madehappy to still be able to think that | could take care of my family in this little way. That | wasn't a
complete disappointment to them and | wasn’t failing them all round too,
And so | took it very personally especially lately. | made breakfast, lunch and dinner. | even made extras
whenever | could, Desserts, snacks and the rest. Just being in the kitchen kepthappy and it keptbusy
and so | indulged it as much as | could.
“No you gotta do it like this Simon.” | heard Jessy’s voice cfrom her slightly opened door and it warned my
heart the way it always did.
After | had been found, Emilia had insisted on leaving the house. She said she no longer felt needed and felt like
she was imposing on the family with her presence. No matter how much Greyson and | tried to convince her
otherwise, it had only proved futile.
She said that since she wasn’t a maid here anymore, she wanted to build a life outside of these walls and just

. Il understood her a lot, in everything that had happened, Emilia had also lost a lot and at a point she had almost
lost her life
too so it was fine that she was still trying to heal and move on from it all.
She still visited the house very often to see Simon who had definitely beca part of our family and | was most
thankful to the maid for helping them find me.
“Hi mommy!” Jessy called out the moment she noticedstanding by the doorway.
| moved completely into the room and settled beside the children, offering them both a smile.
“Hi honey. What are you both up to?” | asked even when | could see clearly what they were doing.
“We drawing bunnies, but Simon is making the eaws small.”
| laughed at that. There were just sthings that would never change. Like Jessy’s love for big bunny ears and
that was very comforting. Greyson had of course fueled her bunny love by getting her lots of different bunny
toys and had even gone ahead to promise the four years old a real bunny.
| wasn’t looking forward to that happening because that would just be a lot of mess and | was very worried that
Jessy would insist on taking the bunny everywhere she went, including school.
“Well, it’s his bunny honey. Don’t you think he gets to make the ears the size he wants them?” | asked, trying to
reason with my child.
“B-but bunny eaws have to be big.” She insisted.
| was about to tell her to let her friend be but he spoke before | could.
“It's okay. | can make it big. I'll just add it like this.” The boy said, making bigger ears over the smaller ones he
had initially drawn.
“See” He said to Jessy and she beamed happily at the new ears.

| didn’t want Jessy to think that she could always get what she wanted in that manner or dictate what other
people got to do and so | let her know that Simon could draw however he wished to.
But it was nice to see how Simon treated Jessy with so much care and gentleness. He acted like a big brother to
her and always did the most to make sure she was happy, satisfied and comfortable.
Jessy never chfrom school with a scratch or unhappy and | knew that Simon had a big hand in that. It
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas so pleasing to see and it madereally happy.
| watched them draw for another five minutes before placing kisses on their heads and leaving the room to the
master’s bedroom where | settled on the bed afterwards.
Greyson was out, taking care of sthings but he had promised that he would be hfor dinner.
| loved the man so much but | was really scared for our relationship. It just truly felt like love wasn’t enough
anymore.
| couldn’t tell what it was but | knew that we were both drifting apart every single day but neither of us wanted
to address it.
| hated how gentle he had becwith me. It had been a huge fight with him when | insisted on cooking so
much and it had taken Clara reassuring him that | would be fine before he eventually letdo it.
| knew that he was still scared about everything that had happened and that he was being cautious but he just
didn’t realize that | couldn't move on if he didn’t.
