The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1904

Larkin looked at Wayne, slightly taken aback.

Wayne smiled at him, saying, "I don't want to obsess over the past anymore."

Larkin wasn't the type to insist.

Plus, some people had suggested before not to force Wayne into trying to recover his memories.

The most natural way was the best.

"I get it," Larkin nodded, "In that case, I have more time. I can take Erica to more places she likes."

"Good," Wayne responded.

Both of them weren't too talkative, so they each went on with their own business, not saying anything more.

At the parking lot, their families got into their respective cars, then split up to go their separate ways.

Because of Max's injury, the back seats of the car he was in were folded down, connecting with the trunk.

Ivy took over the responsibility of caring for her pet dog.

Molly, being inseparable from Ivy now, naturally got into the same car.

Felix decided to follow them.

In Rosalynn's car, it was her, Wayne, and Cory.

She originally wanted to bring Liam along as well.

However, by the time she looked for Liam, he had silently gone to Ableson's car.

The day Ivy was pushed into the water by Jennifer, Liam was there too.

He was scared too, but didn't follow them to the hospital, he went home instead.

He was a quiet kid to begin with, but now he had become even quieter.

After Rosalynn got in the car, she helped Cory check his seatbelt, casually mentioning, "I forgot to chat with Liam these past few days."

"Chat about what?" Cory asked.

"Wasn't he there when your sister fell into the water?" Rosalynn replied calmly, "You know, Liam is introverted. I'm worried if he's keeping something inside."

"Honey, you don't have to worry about everyone," Wayne chimed in.

"Liam saved Ivy's life before, and he doesn't have any family around. We should care more about him," Rosalynn looked back at Wayne.

Wayne was silent for two seconds, then said, "I understand."

"Alright, let's set off. I hope we can make it in time for dinner with grandma."

The convoy slowly hit the road.

Rosalynn didn't sleep well last night, and gradually fell asleep holding Cory's small hand.

Wayne looked at her through the rear-view mirror, took out his phone, and sent a message.

Rosalynn was woken up by Wayne. Opening her eyes, they were already back at Moonlit Lake.

She stretched, and texted Paige, "Paige, we're home safe, don't worry."

Paige immediately sent back a ton of voice messages.

Rosalynn listened as she got out of the car.

While listening to the messages, she subconsciously counted the number of people, quickly realizing something was off.

She noticed a car was missing, along with a few people.

"Where's Ableson's car?" Rosalynn asked, putting away her phone.

"Ma'am, Ableson just called to say that Liam wanted to go home directly, so he changed course to drop him off," a security guard quickly said.

Rosalynn frowned slightly.

"That kid, going home without telling us. Kids are really hard to understand."

As she was mumbling, Liam sent her a message.

"Mrs. Silverman, I still have homework to do, Ivy's summer tutoring has been overdue for three days."

Rosalynn thought for a moment, and sent him a reply, "Okay, you've worked hard, Liam. See you when school starts."

As she sent the message, Wayne came over.

His gaze swept over Rosalynn's phone screen.

"Is that a message from Liam?"

"Mm, he said he went home to do his homework. I thought he had finished them. It looks like your daughter has been keeping him busy," Rosalynn said, looking around to see Ivy directing people to carry Max into the elevator.

"We shouldn't have hired such a young kid to be a tutor in the first place," Wayne said helplessly, "In the future, we should hire an adult to teach Ivy."

"That's not for us to decide, it depends on whether your daughter agrees," Rosalynn said helplessly.

Wayne lowered his eyelids, not responding to Rosalynn's words, "Let's go inside first. Grandma is waiting for us to have dinner."

"Okay!"

The two of them held hands and slowly walked towards the elevator.

Compared to the brightly lit Moonlit Lake, the old street was very dim, with wires piled up as usual, occasionally making crackling sounds.

Ableson took Liam's luggage down, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Liam, I didn't ask for your opinion before sending you home directly. But you covered for me in front of Mrs. Silverman, I'm really..."

Liam looked even colder than usual, he put away his phone.

"You don't need to say so much, I understand." Liam took his luggage from Ableson.

Ableson was taken aback.

"Thank you," Liam said coldly and distantly, then dragged his suitcase and carried his backpack into the darkness.

After his parents died, he rarely felt fear and anxiety.

Especially during the time he clashed with his uncle and aunt, he almost forgot what fear felt like.

Because his heart couldn't feel warmth, it was numb.

A year ago, he saved Ivy with a slingshot, and his life changed.

It was like going on an exciting journey.

He met Mrs. Silverman, who was as gentle as a mother, the naughty and resilient Ivy, and some novel friends.

His numb heart gradually warmed up amid these adventures.

This directly led to his lack of vigilance. He even started following Ivy and others out to play.

But, he was different from them.

Molly had a loving father, yet she jumped into the river to save Ivy.

The Cain Scott brothers had a powerful family background.

Anyone could be forgiven and understood in this escape.

But he couldn't.

He didn’t feel at ease until just now, when he woke up and saw the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar streets. It was like a sword hanging over his head finally dropped to the ground.

His wonderful journey had come to an end, and he began to live his old life.

It wasn’t that great, but it wasn’t too bad either.

He preferred being alone over socializing with others.

He walked through the dim alley, the lights in the building were broken, and he groped his way upstairs.

He opened the door to his home.

This old house, if left uninhabited for a while, would smell moldy.

Liam turned on the lights.

He put his things away and quietly opened all the windows.

He fetched water and carefully cleaned the house, adding disinfectant to the water.

After he finished cleaning, the house was clean, but the unpleasant smell did not dissipate. Instead, it became stranger due to the mix of the disinfectant.

Liam felt helpless.

He decided not to clean anymore and took out all the things from his backpack and neatly placed them back on his desk.

He glanced at the time.

Although he had been busy for a while, only an hour had actually passed.

The incident of Ivy falling into the water was eventually revealed to Hilaria.

That night, Hilaria said nothing, watched Ivy eat her fill, and then let Laura take her to bathe and sleep.

Ivy thought the incident was over, but the next morning, Hilaria blew her top.

Ivy had never seen her so angry.

In the past, if she did something wrong, Granny Hilaria would protect her when her mother got angry and argue with her mother.

Ivy was so scared that she was even careful with her breathing.

"You are an important person, don't you know that?" Hilaria banged on the table.

"Alright, alright, she knows she was wrong," Calvin couldn't help but stand up to protect Ivy, "She won't do this again!"
