?Chapter 810:


    Caylee’s eyes widened with surprise, and she immediately waved her hands. “No, no, it’s really no trouble at all! This is what I’m here for.”


    She didn’t know much about design. The only reason she had be Linsey’s assistant was because Linsey had seen something in her—dependability, quiet diligence—and brought her on to help manage orders and asionally look after the children.


    Linsey paid her generously, far more than most assistants earned.


    But just before they were supposed to leave for Grester, her grandmother—the only family she had, the woman who had raised her—had fallen gravely ill.


    That was when Gorman stepped in. He paid for the surgery—an expensive one Caylee never could have afforded on her own. And ever since, she had always felt indebted to him.


    Caylee knew she owed Linsey.


    She also knew how hard Linsey worked to raise two kids on her own.


    Because of that, she couldn’t bring herself to ask Linsey for money.


    In the end, she had no choice but to agree to Gorman’s request—doing only things that wouldn’t harm Linsey or the children, at least on the surface.


    Linsey, of course, had no idea what was going through Caylee’s mind. After everything that happened today, she realized one thing—they couldn’t keep living in a hotel. Zander and Zenia needed a bigger, safer space.

    A hotel room, no matter how nice, would never feel like home.


    Luckily, she had managed to save up a decent amount over the years as Aurora. Now, she could afford to rent a cozy apartment in Grester—a ce where the kids could finally feel settled.


    Buying a house would take more time ande with a lot ofplications.


    For now, she decided to start by looking around and take it from there.


    “Linsey… Have you really decided to stay in Grester?” Caylee asked gently, still unsure.


    She remembered Linsey saying they wouldn’t stay long when they first arrived.


    She hadn’t expected her to change her mind so soon.


    Linsey turned on the TV and found a cartoon for the kids.


    Then she nodded, her eyes steady and full of resolve. “I’ve made up my mind,” she said. “I just won first ce in the designpetition. If I leave now, I might lose out on some big opportunities thate with that. For my career—and for the kids’ future—staying here is the right choice.”


    She paused, then added softly, “Dolores’pany is finally getting back on its feet. She hasn’t said much, but I know she needs me. And Grester… This is where we grew up. It holds our memories. This city gave me friendship, dreams, and roots. I won’t run from it. I’m staying.”


    When she first came back, Linsey never thought she would stay. The city had once brought her so much pain.
