Chapter 271

Karl had secured a beachfront villa for their vacation. When Julie and Kieran arrived with their son Ivan, Karl had everything ready.

Ivan, who hadn’t seen Karl in ages, was thrilled and greeted him cheerfully, “Karl!”

“Why are you here, Karl?” Ivan asked, walking up to him.

Karl replied, “I’m here to keep you company, young master.”

Kieran turned to Ivan, “Tomorrow, you’ll hang out with Karl. Your mother and I have some important matters to attend to. The day after, we’ll take you out for some fun. Deal?”

“Important matters?” Ivan gestured for Kieran to crouch down to his level.

Kieran, amused by Ivan’s mysterious demeanor, leaned in closer to hear what he had to say.

Julie watched as Ivan whispered something into Kieran’s ear, but she was too far away to hear anything. Just as she decided to move closed Ivan had finished speaking.

“Is that so, Kieran?” Ivan asked, looking up at Kieran expectantly.

Kieran patted the young boy on the shoulder with admiration and nodded approvingly, “That’s right. So, wash up and head to bed. Tomorrow, accompany Karl to enjoy the tulips. Show Kari around town, okay?”

“Understood!” Ivan, gripping Karl, asked, “Where do I sleep tonight?”

Karl began leading Ivan’to his room but was interrupted by Ivan’s question, “Have you ever heard about a poem written by someone named Lewis?”

“Lewis?” Karl was puzzled.

“Yes, Lewis.”

Karl found himself at a loss for words. Fortunately, Ivan wasn’t too keen on getting the answer right away and continued, ” In the beauty of spring, only the roses are the truly beauty, blossoming and dazzling all people. I’ve forgotten the first two lines. My mom once read them to me. Can you google it and write the poet down for me later? I’d like to memorize it!”

As the two voices faded into the distance, Julie couldn’t help but smile.
