“Are you okay, baby?” -ásk Noah as we have our dinner.

Rowan usually joins us for dinner, but not today. There was a business proposal he was going through.Not that he needs it, given that he has already accomplished so much for the company, but the

opportunity was too great to pass up.

He was on the verge of acquiring two of the top business companies in Paris. The merger, according tohim, would take their company to new levels. That merger would see the Wood’s company rise to the top

three most influential and successful companies in the world.

“Nothing, Mom, just thinking of how to deal with Sierra.” Noah mumbles, pushing his food around on the

plate.

The matter has him stressed; it’s clear to see. I just don’t know how to help him. I don’t want to get

involved unless maybe Sierra crosses a limit, though my heart doubts she would. I also want Noah to

learn to be independent. I don’t want him to always rely on me or his father to solve his problems for him.

“Have you come up with anything so far?” I ask, pushing my empty plate.

“Not really,” he sighs in defeat. “I guess I’ll just have to avoid her as much as I can. It would be so much

easier if, by some miracle, she got transferred to another class.”

“I could always ask the principal to transfer you,” I suggest.

I mean, if this bothered him this much, it’s the least I could do. I wanted Noah to focus on his studies. Notto spend most of time trying to avoid a girl that seemed hell bent on attaching herself to him like anoctopus.

I chuckle internally at that. Knowing very well that I couldn’t blame. There was just something aboutthese Wood men. Rowan completely hypnotized me when I was a kid. I think the same thing washappening to Sierra.

“No!” His voice is firm as he all but screams the words. “I don’t want to leave my friends. Gunner is alsoin my class. I don’t want to be separated from him.”

I nod my head in understanding. “Okay”

When I learned about Gunner, I was stunned. I’ve yet to meet the boy, but I was shocked that Calvin’sson was best friends with my son. Calvin and Rowan despised each other in high school. It’s really atwist of fate that their sons ended up being the best of friends.

He doesn’t call me mommy as much as he did when he was younger, but every time he does, it justmelts my heart into a complete mush.

Seconds later, Teresa shows up and clears the table. I try to help, but the stubborn woman refuses.

“I’m going to sleep,” Noah informs me.

“Okay, my love… I’ll be there in a few, once I’m done checking on your sister.”

He yawns and then nods his head before going upstairs. After making sure everything is okay and that

Teresa doesn’t need help, I head on up.

I check on Iris only to replace her soundly asleep. I’d feed her right before dinner, and she fell asleep

immediately. Quietly, I leave her room and head over to Noah’s.

“Noah?” I call, but don’t get an answer.

I was sprawled on top of the covers, completely out. I guess Sierra’s antics not only pissed him off, but

also drained him.

Walking slowly further into his room, I get him under the covers. Once he is settled, I cover him with hisAvenger’s blanket.

He was a superhero fan, but then again, which boy his age isn’t?

I leave his room after kissing his forehead and making sure he’s well tucked in.

The house is so damn quiet now. While Teresa was finishing up before heading to her quarters, I decidedto take a bath. The issue of Emma was still on my mind. I was still unable to decide what to do about it.

I thought the shower would clear my head, but it was in vain. By the time I’m done, I’m still as confusedas I was after Travis begged me for help.

I put on my sleeping gown, then my robe. Since Rowan wasn’t here yet, I decide to check whether hewas almost done with work.

“I’ll be leaving now, Ava,” Teresa tells me as I pass by the kitchen.
