With Hilliard’s reassurance, Jennifer’s hesitation dissolved.

Yet, she didn’t immediately agree.

“Before deciding, I need to consider the Turner Group’s obligations.

Plus, I should seek my parents’ advice,” she stated thoughtfully.

Hilliard understood and returned to his workstation, diving back into his tasks until the end of the workday.

After that, the two of them returned to the Turners’ house together.

Over dinner, Hilliard shared their plans to visit Stastle with Jennifer’s parents.

Surprisingly, Mario and Presley fully supported the idea.

Presley expressed contentment with their forthcoming trip, and after the meal, Mario took it upon himself to arrange a temporary CEO for the Turner Group, assuring Jennifer that he would oversee things in her absence.

This gesture allowed her to set aside her professional worries and embrace the opportunity to visit Stastle.

Faced with her parents’ overwhelming support, Jennifer found no reason to decline and agreed to Hilliard’s proposal.

Meanwhile, in Stastle, Lucinda chose not to return to the usually vibrant N&L Fairy Land after her workday.

Instead, she dined alone in the Simmons Group’s cafeteria.

The absence of Nathan and the children left their home feeling eerily silent and devoid of warmth, a stark contrast to the bustling household she was accustomed to.

Lucinda’s thoughts drifted to Colby and Destinee, who were spending time at Norton’s residence, prompting her to visit the Paynes’ house.

At Norton’s, the children were a s

ource of constant joy, thoroughly entertained throughout the day.

Approaching the room, Lucinda was greeted by the sounds of laughter and cheerful conversation echoing down the hallway.

“Grandpa, you seem to be in great spirits lately, looking healthier and more youthful.

Lucinda’s sweet voice floated through the air, bringing a smile to Norton’s face.

“Lucinda, your flattery is unparalleled.

You have a knack for brightening an elder’s day more so than Nathan.

It’s a blessing to have you as my granddaughter-in-law,” Norton beamed with pride.

“Grandpa, Nate tops us all in devotion.

His commitment to family is unmatched,” Lucinda responded, her praise for Nathan shining through her smile.

Their conversation was gently interrupted as Kern reminded Norton it was time for his medication.

Seizing a quiet moment, Lucinda captured a photo of the cheerful babies and sent it to Nathan with a message full of concern and love.

“The border situation seems tense.

Please, take care and avoid harm.

I’ve got Colby and Destinee under my wing, eagerly awaiting your safe return.

After sending her message, she stared at her phone screen, lost in thought.

A reply didn’t come.

Nathan had warned her about the poor signal where he was stationed, leading her to assume her message hadn’t yet reached him.

Lucinda snapped back to reality, recalling Nala’s role in persuading Graham to strip her of her power within the Simmons Group.

With this in mind, she decided to take preemptive measures.

Upon Norton’s return from taking his medication, Lucinda prepared to depart from the Paynes’ house.

Norton inquired, “Where are you off to? It’s late, why don’t you stay?”
