Lydia fell silent and closed her eyes. "I just want to be alone for a while."

Quincy respected her need for space and quietly stepped back.

Meanwhile, over at Nash's place, Nash had decided to leave work early today, something he rarely did.

With Lydia and Quincy now running their own operation, he had been single-handedly managing everything at York Corporation, which kept him busy beyond belief.

His wife, Nina, had been holding down the fort at home, handling all the household tasks with grace. Their two kids, Gemma and Orion, had been nothing but sweet and helpful. Little Gemma was always calm, and Orion eagerly helped with whatever he could.

But Nash didn't want this hectic lifestyle to become permanent. While work was important, spending time with his family was what truly mattered to him. So today, he seized the rare opportunity to sneak away early and surprise them at home with gifts. As he pulled up in the driveway, he stepped out of the car with his arms full of presents and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Nina called out from the living room, where she was playing with Gemma. She hurried to the door, and when she opened it, she was greeted by Nash standing there, holding a bouquet of flowers.

"You're home early today," she said with a smile, eyeing the flowers. "And what's this? Flowers? We're practically an old married couple now!"
