"Right away, sir," Jimmy sold, smiling as he pulled out his planner to dial the buyer's number so his boss could speak to them.

"As

you always say, Dad, talking makes people understand each other, and I know I'll reach a reasonable price to get everything back

""You're right, son."

"Boss, they're on the line."

"Yes, good afternoon, this is Jayden Cooper. I'm calling about the purchase-"

"Dad?"

"Huh? James?" Jayden said, confused, looking at the phone and thinking maybe Jimmy had dialed the wrong number.

"Brother, who is it?" Elizabeth's voice could be heard.

"It's Dad."

"Daddy? I want to talk too!" she said, and they activated the speakerphone. "Hi, Daddy!"

"Hi, Ellie. How... how are you?" For some reason, Jayden felt a lump in his throat as he wondered how long it had been since he had heard that cheerful voice speaking to him. "Good, but we miss you," Elizabeth replied.

"Yes, Dad, are you not mad at us anymore?" James asked, sounding a little sad.

"Ah... no, I... actually, I'm sorry, kids. I haven't been myself these past few days," Jayden said, feeling his eyes well up with tears.

"That's what Mommy said," James commented.

"Yes... I... I'm really sorry because I haven't been much of a dad lately."

"Yes, Daddy hasn't been Daddy," Elizabeth complained

"This morning, we got scared when you yelled at Mommy because of the twins," James said.

"Forgive me. I let the pressure from work get to me, but I promise it will never happen again."

"Do you

you promise?" Elizabeth asked, starting to tear up.

"1 promise, I'll never be that mean Daddy who scared you again."

"Yay!"

"Are you coming back now?" James asked.

"Yes, son, we'll be back for dinner together. How about I bring your favorite cake to celebrate?"

""Yes!" they said happily.

"Come back safely." James said, ending the call.

Jayden smiled at the sound of their happiness, feeling once more the warmth of his family, which he had missed.

"Feeling better?" Deborah asked, seeing her husband's smile.

"Yes, my love, thank you," he said, turning to kiss her on the lips. "And I'm also sorry for being an idiot these past few weeks." "Hm... but don't let it happen again."

"I promise," he said, imitating his daughter. "Alright, now Jimmy, get me in touch with the buyers."

"Um... sir, I did call their number,"

"What?" Jayden looked at him in confusion.

"Surprise," Deborah said.

"James and Elizabeth Cooper are the new owners of those places," Nicholas said, showing them the legal documents proving those acquisitions.

"But..." Eric said, amazed as he looked at the documents.

"Wait, honey, you..." Jayden was stunned to see this.

"I told you they had savings," Deborah said, winking at him. "And remember, I told you if you ever felt overwhelmed, you could ask me for help. We're married, and we stick together through thick and thin... together," she said, holding her husband's cheeks and pinching them as a reprimand.

"Yes... Ah... L... I understand," Jayden said, rubbing his cheeks when she let go.

"That's true... I fought with Samantha, too," said Eric sadly.

"And it hurt her because my mother-in-law was crying. Deborah said, frowning.

"I think both of you should apologize to your family," Nicholas said.

"You're right, Nicholas. Even though this is my life's work, it's just material, and it doesn't compare to my beloved Samantha. I really need to apologize to her and my grandkids."

"That makes two of us, Dad," Jayden said. "Let's try to stay positive with this job, and then... then..."

"What's wrong?" Nicholas asked, seeing his son-in-law look disappointed again.

"Well, we might have work now, but those people stole all our clients, and when this project is over, we'll be back to square one," Eric said.

""Yes and no."

"What do you mean, Debbie?"

"If my suspicions are correct, I think tomorrow we'll know why we're losing clients so fast, and we'll replace a way to solve this problem."
