Chapter 641 He''s Like Family


    Dolores suratted Linsey''s hand wway with a slighe butt "1 wasn''t crying- something just got is my eyes, alright?"


    Then she turned and spotted Zender staring at her with curious eyes. Her mood instantly lifted. "And this must be Zander! Last time I saw him at your ce, he was just a toddley"


    Linseyughed softly. "Back then, he and Zenia were just barely over a year old"


    As she spoke, she waved Zander over. "Come here, sweetheart. Do you still remember Dolores?"


    Zander skipped over with light steps and greeted her sweetly, "Hi, Dolores. I''m really happy to see you today. You''re super pretty!"


    Dolores blinked, then turned to linsey with an impressed grin. "Wow! Look at him, already such a smooth talker. With charm like that, he''s going to have girls lining up when he''s older."


    She reached into her pocket and pulled out a bank card. "Here, a little gift from me. I''ll give Zenia hers when I see her."


    Zander epted it with both hands and said sincerely, "Mommy says not to take money from strangers—but you''re Mommy''s best friend, so I think it''s okay."


    His reply made Dolores burst intoughter. "Linsey, I didn''t know you were raising such a smart little guy. You''ve done a great job/"


    Linsey smiled with a shake of her head. "These two are honestly easy. They don''t give me much trouble at all."


    While they chatted andughed, Caylee quietly started unpacking their luggage.


    Linsey and Dolores settled on the sofa, catching up, while Zander yed nearby with his little racing car–the same one he insisted on bringing to Grester.


    Dolores held Linsey''s hand and said softly, "So, how long are you nning to stay this time? You''ve just gotten back-please don''t leave right after thepetition ends."


    Linsey had nned for a short visit, but seeing Dolores again after all this time made her heart waver. "Okay... I''ll try to stay a few more days."


    After a short pause, she added, "Zenia had a mild fever before I left. Gorman''s with her now, and once she''s better, he''ll bring her over."


    At that, Dolores raised an eyebrow and gave her a knowing smile. "You''ve been living with Gorman for four years now, right?"


    She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and gave Linsey a yful look. "So... Anything going on

    there?"


    Linsey picked up on what she meant and calmly rified, "I told you before- Gorman and I don''t live together. He bought the unit next to mine. We''re neighbors, nothing more. We just help each other out."


    Dolores let out a sigh. "Honestly, I thought he''d give up and move on, but look at him-still by your side after all these years. And now, with Zenia sick, you trusted him to take care of her. That says a lot."


    Linsey didn''t disagree. "I do trust Gorman. He''s reliable, but that''s all there is to it."


    She hesitated for a beat, then said quietly, "To me, he''s like family. I''ve gently tried encouraging him to find someone and settle down, but he always changes the subject with a smile. I really don''t know what else to say


    to him."
