Even with all of Whitney’s provocations, Esther never left. She took care of the three children diligently and wholeheartedly.

Esther knew Whitney’s character very well. Since her arrival, Esther had been on high alert, like a mother hen spotting a fierce cagle.

It wasn’t until Kimberly returned that Esther finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Kimberly walked gracefully, approaching at a leisurely pace.

Now, everyone in the Larson residence was loyal to the house owner. Even with the unexpected visit from Whitney, there was only a hint of surprise in Kimberly’s eyes.

Sebastian happened to look up and saw Kimberly walking toward them.

“Mommy’s back,” he exclaimed excitedly.

The other two kids were equally enthusiastic about Kimberly’s return.

Kimberly smiled dotingly and turned to Whitney. “You’re here.”

The calm demeanor of the hostess was displayed perfectly.

Touched by the beautiful scene of maternal love and filial piety, Whitney’s eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.

The casual “You’re here” from Kimberly snapped her back to reality.

Adjusting her emotions and demeanor, Whitney politely spoke. “Hi, Kimberly, long time no see. I’ve already visited Grandpa Yandel. He specifically instructed me to learn. from you in the future,”

Kimberly was pleasantly surprised as this was probably the first time Whitney had behaved so politely to her.

Feeling flattered, Kimberly smiled and carefully observed Whitney, the changed young

woman.

Her speaking skills had noticeably improved, far beyond what they used to be.

Moreover, her courtesy was perfectly in place, and her assertiveness was skillfully. balanced.

Whitney used to excel in being capricious and unreasonable, but things seemed different now.

In a polite tone, Kimberly responded, “It’s great that you’re back. Grandpa Yandel and your dad looked forward to your early return.”

Shifting the topic to the most challenging aspect, she asked, “What are your thoughts on work?”

If it were just a matter of personal life, the two wouldn’t have much interaction.

The core was their intersection in work.

Given the circumstances, planning was essential since she still had the upper hand.

With composure, Whitney said. “In Norham, my focus was mainly on jewelry design. I’m not well-versed in other areas. If possible, I would like to work on what I’m good at.”

The words were carefully chosen, leaving Kimberly no room for rebuttal.

However, this aligned with Kimberly’s intentions.-

In Kimberly’s opinion, Larson Corporation was not a place for idle people. Since she was returning to headquarters, she naturally had to contribute and achieve results.

The design department, with Samuel and Genevieve on the team, had become profitable department for the company and was currently understaffed.

As long as Whitney didn’t behave terribly, it would be fine for her to stay at the department, as monumental achievements weren’t expected from her.

In a casual tone, Kimberly said, “Well, your current thoughts are much more mature than before. You’ve changed after being away for a few years.”

First, she complimented Whitney and then told her her real intentions. When you are ready, join the design department. You’ll be the department deputy director and assist Genevieve in making the design department better. What do you think?

This arrangement was within Whitney’s expectations.

She nodded, and three days later, on Monday, she would officially start to work.

After Whitney left, Esther seemed hesitant to speak.

Upon noticing this, Kimberly initiated a conversation with her.

Esther expressed her concerns, ‘Ms. Larson, Ms. Whitney Larson is back. You have to be more careful.”

Kimberly nodded in agreement.

Then, Esther added, “Please don’t think I’m overthinking. Circumstances have changed. You are not alone anymore. You have Candice, Dexter, and Sebastian.”

Kimberly understood what Esther meant. She was afraid that Whitney might resort to some underhanded tactics.

“I’ll be careful,” replied Kimberly.

Esther was relieved after hearing Kimberly’s words.

It was Friday, the day of the parent-child sports festival.

Christopher had been eagerly anticipating this day.

He wore Spider-Man-themed sportswear, and when Kimberly first saw him, she couldn’t believe her eyes. She quickly took off her sunglasses and examined him closely, exclaiming, “Oh my! Has the sun risen from the west?”

She doubted what she saw, that Christopher would do such a thing..

However, Dexter, Sebastian, and Candice boosted Christopher’s confidence by praising him, “Daddy, you look cool! Daddy, you look handsome! Daddy, you’re the best!”

Having noticed the disbelief in Kimberly’s eyes, Christopher wasn’t too pleased. He then sized her up thoroughly.

Kimberly wore a pink baseball uniform with a white sun hat, looking youthful and energetic.

Christopher had to admit that she looked remarkably good in sportswear.

She had the frame of a model. Hence, she looked good no matter what she wore.

However, he frowned when he saw her short baseball uniform skirt.

He wasn’t happy that the skirt was so short, revealing her smooth and thick thighs.

Every child’s father was present since it was a school sports day.

Men were visual creatures.

A woman like Kimberly was undoubtedly captivating and would attract attention from people.

At that thought, Christopher felt slightly upset.

His peculiar gaze caught Kimberly’s attention. She thought it might be due to her attire.

today.

Lowering her head, she carefully checked herself and found nothing wrong.

She silently cursed, ‘What’s wrong with him? Is he crazy?”

Ignoring him, Kimberly pulled Dexter, Sebastian, and Candice into formation and waited for the race to start.

Marcellus delivered a speech on stage, but he had his eyes constantly looking in Kimberly’s direction, fearing her displeasure.

Initially, Kimberly was invited to deliver the speech, but she declined.

From the beginning of the school year, she stated that she didn’t want any special

treatment.

She hoped to provide the three children with a morally upright learning environment.

Kimberly smiled gracefully at Marcellus and nodded.

Soon, the race had begun.

The first game was lucky balloons.

In this game, Christopher blew the balloons and tied them, whereas Kimberly and the kids stood back to back, holding the balloons, and had to transport the to a designated location.

Everyone had to repeat the action, and the team with the most balloons within the specified time would win.

The last game was the happy family relay.

Parents had to intertwine their hands, and the child sat on top. At the midpoint, the parents had to put their children down and have them throw the ball into the bucket. The parents had to collaborate and catch the ball with a bucket. After scoring one, the parents had to hold a wooden stick, and the child hung on it, returning to the starting line. The first team to return would win the game.

While other activities proceeded smoothly, they faced challenges at the final game.

This game

demanded high coordination between the two parents. Initially, Kimberly wasn’t entirely cooperative with Christopher, who didn’t complain.

However, Kimberly grew anxious upon seeing other teams pulling ahead.
