My father had given the only some money and then I had broken contact with him too because I did not want Julian to trace my whereabouts through him

But now that he knew. I was wondering if I should give father a call again. But then he would want to talk to Lea and meet her

We was not aware of the world of wolves and I worried that the change would be too much for her. She had already grumbled about us moving from one city to another last time I feared somebody from my past had caught a whiff

The coffee machine beeped, and I took two cups outside as Nick spoke to someone on the phone.

But Sis, the item trady. We worked on all the change you suggested. The event is going to be fantastic.”

But the person on the other sile hung up and Nick kept staring the phone in surprise.

“Who happened asked placing the coffer in front of him.

1 just spoke to Mr Rolton. He was supposed to visit us tomorrow finalize the deal. But now he said someone bought it. overnight and that I have to speak to the owner for the deal”

Llet out a sigh

“Forget about Mr. Bolton. Let us find somebody else.”

But Nick did not look convinced.

“But we worked on this project for almost a week. You spent many nights working on it and now you just want to let it go?”

I did not want to explain everything to Nick. Or Julian would come for him, too.

“Mr. Bolton was finicky. Good riddance, I say”

My gaze flicked to the calendar and I saw that there was a holiday coming up. An idea popped up

in my

head.

“For long weekends, people love to spend some nice time with their families. All the prominent hotels in the city would have

rush, How about we approach them and ask them to hold a small event for the family?”

Nick’s face brightened at the idea. “Hmm, we could arrange some fun activities for families, couples, and kids. Let me get in touch with the hotel managers and see what they have to say.”

I nodded and leaned back in the chair for a while as Nick got busy with his work. I recalled Lea’s mood hadn’t been that good, so I went to the cabin to talk to her.

“Hey my little princess, feeling hungry yet?”

She had pulled out crayons and was drawing something on a paper.

“What are you drawing?”

She shrugged, “A flower”

Her replies were to the point, and I crouched down on my knees to be at her eye–level.

“Look, I am sorry for not being able to tell you about your father

“Why not mummy?” she asked in a low voice.

“It’s complicated, sweetie. But just know that mummy fears if he comes back, he will take you away from me. And I don’t

want that

Lea’s eyes went wide.

“No, I will never leave you.” I hugged her back.

“Mummy promises that she will tell you when you grow big. For now, should I order lunch? Mummy is hungry”

Lea nodded, and I ordered food for all three of us.

Lea had already missed school today, but I could not continue to do that. She had already been absent from school last week when she got a mild fever.

In an attempt to take my mist off Jalian and his se hemning. Ieded to color Lea’s drawing with her.

1 picked up a lemon yellow crayon and was going to aid her, but she shook her head.

So mommy, this is not the shade I used. Lemon yellow should be near the base of the petals and mustard yellow should be the outside to show the shades from light to dark. The petals are darker at the top and lighter at the base.”

I only stared at Lea in shock. She had such a profound understanding of colors and nature already. I did not think I had ever observed a flower and its shades so keenly when I was four.

“Did your teacher tell you this in school?” I asked, out of curiosity.

Lea shook her head as she took the lemon yellow from my hand and handed me the mustard yellow crayon.

“No mummy, but see that flower. It is like that”

She pointed outside the window, and indeed there were a few yellow flowers on a vine. They were quite far from the office and from this distance, it would be hard for a 4 year old kid to make out the exact shades.

“You can see the shades of that flower?” I asked, amazed.

Lea nodded

“What colors do you see then? Let us see how many you get right!” I challenged her. Lea looked outside the window or

once, then pulled out the crayons from the box one by one as she began.

“Lemon yellow at the base, mustard at the tips, and the rest of it. The filaments are baby pink, and then there is also pastel green”

She finished without looking up from her drawing. I only blinked

My four year daughter had great observation skills and eyesight I felt excited for a second to see that she had such remarkable progress, but then my heart dipped when I thought about the lies I would have to cook to keep her from the public eye.

“That is amazing, Lea. I commented and got up from my seat when Nick called me from the office.

“Anastasia, we might have a problem on our hands.”
