Chapter 820:


    “Sure,” Linsey responded softly, not noticing Caylee’s distress.


    As Caylee walked towards the bedroom, she overheard Gorman asking Linsey, “You’re settling in Grester, but what about Caylee? Does she intend to stay as well?”


    When she heard this, Caylee’s heart skipped a beat, a wave of anxiety washing over her.


    Linsey responded, “For the time being, she’s staying with me.”


    Gorman’s lips curved into a subtle smile as he replied, “Having Caylee here simplifies matters considerably.”


    The implications of his words could vary greatly depending on the listener.


    Linsey interpreted hisment to mean that Caylee’s presence would make her own life easier.


    Caylee, on the other hand, discerned a different subtext.


    She understood it to mean that by staying with Linsey, she would still be involved in fulfilling tasks for Gorman. This realization sent a chill through Caylee.


    She inhaled deeply and pushed the door open, attempting to dispel the unease Gorman’s presence induced. She then softly roused the children. The mention of Gorman bringing gifts sparked immediate joy in Zenia and Zander, who, thrilled, dashed from the room.


    “Gorman!” Zenia rushed into his arms, her voice full of excitement. “You really came to see us—me and Zander! We missed you a lot!” At the same time, Zander ran straight to the toys, his face glowing as he opened a toy box. “You kept your promise, Gorman! You really got me the limited-edition race car!”


    Gorman nced at Zenia, noticing how much she looked like Linsey. It made his heart feel warm.


    ???????? ???????????????? ???????? ???????? ????: g???????ν?????????????


    He caressed her hair with a smile and said, “I missed you too, Zenia.” A momentter, he turned to Zander and said, “I made a promise to you both, and I always keep my word.”


    Then he grabbed the cute plush toy he had brought for Zenia and started to unwrap it. “Here, Zenia, look at this. Do you like it?”


    Zenia’s eyes lit up as she nodded excitedly. “Yes! I love it! Thanks, Gorman!”


    Linsey sat quietly nearby, watching her children hug and talk to Gorman. Her heart felt full of mixed feelings.


    She realized that since both kids liked Gorman so much, and he had promised that he wouldn’t cross any lines, maybe she didn’t need to stay so distant anymore.


    After all, during those four years away from Grester, Gorman had really supported her. She felt it wouldn’t be right to act ungrateful now.


    While talking kindly with Zenia, Gorman caught Linsey looking at him from the corner of his eye.
