Adrian still clung to Ellinor’s leg nervously.
He was not Adrian. He came here because he liked this gentle lady.
But this place was completely strange to him, as were the people. He was instinctively afraid.
Even at home, Sophia rarely took him out. He spent most of his time with his father, hardly ever
encountering any other people.
He was afraid of strangers, except for this gentle lady who brought him home.
Noticing her son’s fear, Ellinor said to Marissa, “Let it go, Granny. I just scolded him earlier. He’s
probably a bit scared. You can talk to him later; he should be fine by then.”
Marissa looked at her great-grandson with concern and then back at Ellinor. “Ellinor, what actually
happened? Is what Layla said true? Did Adrian almost get lost today?”
Ellinor nodded. “Yes, he saw a toy that he liked with some other kids and just ran off to find them. But
thankfully, I noticed quickly and found him. I’ve lectured him about it; he should know better now.”
Marissa sighed in relief. “Ellinor, you’ve really taken on a lot. Taking care of three kids by yourself is not
easy. They’re at an age where they can be quite mischievous, and things can go wrong if you take your
eyes off them for a second. I’m glad you were there.”
Ellinor just smiled. “They’re my own children. It’s not a burden.”
