The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1854

The kitten was in Ivy's room.

As Erica walked by, she saw a bunch of little ones deep in conversation.

The chatter ceased immediately at the sound of Erica’s footsteps.

"What are you guys up to?" Erica asked, stepping over Max. "Max, you can't be so lazy. Move a bit! I might have long legs, but what about the kiddos? How can they step over you?"

Max gave a low growl and rolled over for Erica.

"Erica, are you taking the kitten home?" Ivy asked.

"Yep, if I leave it here any longer, it'll turn into a piglet!" Erica said, scooping up the snoozing kitten.

The kitten opened its eyes in a daze.

"It's okay, go back to sleep," Erica patted its head.

The kitten shifted and continued to sleep in Erica's arm.

"I'll come visit you, kitty!" Ivy waved, showing no intention of keeping the kitten.

"What were you guys whispering about?" Erica asked, looking suspicious.

"Nothing," Ivy shook her head.

The rest of the kids, except for Cain, didn't react.

"Better not be!" warned Erica, "Or I'll have to punish you!"

"It’s really nothing!" Ivy waved her off.

Erica wouldn't really hit her! At most she'd be sent to the corner for a time-out. Ivy had experience with that.

"Okay then." Erica ruffled Ivy's hair, "I'm off then."

"Bye," Ivy waved obediently.

Once Erica was gone, Ivy let out a sigh of relief.
