"You've anticipated this? What do you mean?" Tania did not understand. "Why say that?"

"In short, even if it weren't because of you, the Lennons would've done this sooner or later. Lennon Group has long been unable to tolerate me, and I... never really wanted anything from Lennon Group."

Peter said this as he guided Tania to sit down. "Where's Brandon?"

"Downstairs. Zara adores him," Tania replied, glancing at Peter and noticing the soft smile on his face whenever he mentioned Brandon. "Peter, you..."

"What?"

Tania snapped out of it and shook her head. "It's nothing. It's late. I should take Brandon home."

Peter pursed his lips, clearly displeased. Yet after looking at her, he finally nodded. "I'll drive you both back, then."

"There's no need."

"You don't have a car, and Five Elements Residence is quite far from Phoenix Tree Residence." Without giving Tania a chance to refuse, Peter stood up, grabbed his coat, and said, "Let's go. I'll drive you."

"Alright. Thanks for the help." Tania followed him out.

Downstairs, Brandon was nodding off after hearing several stories, his little head bobbing. The sight softened Zara's heart as she gently patted his back and held him close.

"Mr. Peter, Ms. Tania?"

"Zara, let me take him," Peter said, stepping forward to take Brandon, though Zara seemed a little reluctant.

"Ms. Tania, are you leaving already? It's so late!"

"Yes, Zara. I need to get back. My cousin and the others are waiting for me."

"But-"

Peter interrupted, "Zara, we'll have more time soon."

Zara, though unwilling, nodded. "Alright then. Ms. Tania, make sure to visit whenever you can—and bring Brandon. He's such a delight."

"Okay," Tania agreed, unable to refuse Zara's kind request.

Peter patted Zara's shoulder. "It's getting late. You should rest."

He wrapped his coat around Brandon and carried him outside. Tania quickly followed.

The drive from Five Elements Residence to Phoenix Tree Residence took about an hour, with Peter holding Brandon the entire time.

In the living room, Charles and

Noelle were looking at their phones.

Noelle had been speculating how

things between Tania and Peter

were progressing. Content belongs

She was certain they would reconcile since Tania had not returned yet. Her comment barely left her lips when the doorbell rang.

Noelle frowned slightly while Charles chuckled and tapped her nose. "Seems you guessed wrong."

"Not necessarily. It could still be

et

Sean!" Noelle clung to her hope. However, when Charles went to open the door, there stood Peter with Brandon in his arms and Tania by his side.

Charles smiled and said, "Come in."

Peter gave a small nod and stepped inside with Brandon.

Noelle's mouth fell open, disappointment clear in her

expression. "It's already this late, and you're all shuffling around. Aren't you worried about wearing Brandon out?"

"He's fine. Brandon's very well-behaved," Tania said as she moved to take Brandon from Peter.

However, Peter did not let go. "I'll carry him to the room," he insisted.
