The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1378

Ivy looked today just as he had when she'd been crying.

Liam sighed and went back to his room.

That night, he waited for Rosalynn to come home so he could tell her that he'd be done with tutoring the next day.

Rosalynn didn't insist that he stay.

She gently said to Liam, "Liam, thank you for helping Ivy these past few weeks. As you know, we've been having some issues at home and I've been swamped. Your help has been a lifesaver."

Liam was silent for a moment, then asked a question he'd been meaning to ask for a while, "Are you doing okay?"

Rosalynn obviously hadn't expected this question. Her eyes instantly became wet, and she shook her head honestly, "To tell you the truth, things aren't so great right now."

Liam glanced at her and then nodded, "But I believe things will get better."

Rosalynn ruffled Liam's hair, "With the new semester starting, make sure you work hard and stop getting on the principal's bad side."

Liam chuckled and nodded, "Got it."

After their short chat, Liam went back to his room to rest.

The next day, after his last winter class, Liam was sent back to his own home.

Dirty alleyways, wires hung chaotically overhead.

He slowly walked home and unlocked the door.

The old house was naturally damp and moldy, and after being vacant for a while, it reeked of mustiness.

He closed the door and stood in the living room for a while.

He had always liked the quiet, but after living with Ivy and her family, he had gotten used to the noise. Now, back in his quiet home, he felt out of place.

As Liam grew up, he realized this discomfort was because he'd grown used to being cared for. When he returned to his empty home, it naturally felt strange.
