Chapter 413

I never thought they’d show up at my place.

I didn’t recall giving them my address.

“We just wanted to check in on you and your folks. I didn’t know where you were staying, so I asked Neil,” Faith replied with a broad smile before glancing around the room, “Where are your two little angels?”

“The nanny took them out for a walk,” I answered.

“That sounds lovely!” Faith commented, though I could see a hint of disappointment in her eyes. Did she want to see Serena and Brandon?

No sooner had Faith finished speaking than Hiram returned, quietly playing with his toys on the floor and causing no disturbance.
