The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2293

Strictly speaking, Molly had moved out of the rough and tumble world of the east wing, where the burly men roamed.

Her suite, complete with a study, was in the main house, but she would still come over when Felix was home. It was a habit, really. She had grown fond of the quiet study space there, perfect for her online courses during the breaks.

"Alright, this time Mr. Silverman has planned a little Bug Searching getaway. I bet it was Mrs. Silverman’s idea," Felix ruffled Molly's hair affectionately. "I know how much you love those little critters. When you're out there, don't just bury your head in your books. Lend a hand and see if there's anything that needs prepping."

"Sure thing," Molly replied with a resolve that seemed to appear out of nowhere. "We'll pass by Butterfly Valley, and it's filled with beautiful butterflies! I'll catch the most stunning one and make a specimen to gift to Ma’am!"

Felix couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. "Why don't I ever get a gift, huh?" He tried to mask his hurt with a playful tone.

Molly looked up at him earnestly, "But butterflies come from caterpillars, and aren't you grossed out by those fuzzy bugs, Dad?"d2

Mike burst into laughter at this, nearly falling off his hammock.

Ableson raised an eyebrow, amused at the thought of a tough guy like Felix being squeamish about bugs.

"It's not fear, it's disgust!" Felix quickly defended himself, then with feigned exasperation, he waved her off. "Off you go, kiddo!"

"Bye, Dad." Molly strutted away, her head held high.

Mike's laughter was so intense that he actually tumbled out of his hammock onto the floor.

"Alright, alright, Mr. Fearless," Felix teased, "How about I put a spider in your bed tonight and we'll see how tough you are?"

The laughter stopped abruptly. In Mike's culture, spiders were viewed as ominous creatures.

"Joke all you want, but don't mess with spiders!" Mike protested.

Felix just hummed and shook his leg, unbothered.

Watching them, Ableson felt a warmth in his heart he couldn't quite describe. It hadn't always been like this. Before Rosalynn and Wayne officially got together, the atmosphere among the security team was much more serious.

Glancing once more at the generous compensation reflected in his bank account, Ableson decided to accept it without guilt. He knew Rosalynn was involved in charity work, and it had rubbed off on him. He thought about maybe sponsoring some kids who needed money for school.

With no children of his own and a life lived on the edge, Ableson wasn't sure if a family was in the cards for him. So he figured he might as well use President Silverman's money to sponsor ten or so kids for now.

After doing some research on the cost of sponsoring a child for a year, Ableson's goal expanded from ten kids to a hundred and eighty. His salary was substantial, and with the additional injury compensation, supporting that many kids wouldn't be an issue.

A couple of days later, after a medical check-up confirmed he was healing well, the Wayne family returned from their trip. Two days after that, Wayne resumed his leadership role at Bane Corporation. On that same day, Ableson returned to his usual duties, accompanying Wayne to various appointments.

As for the past rivalry between Ableson and Felix, it had dissolved. Felix was now constantly by Rosalynn's side, dealing with entirely different matters. The two men found harmony and camaraderie in their roles, each content with where life had taken them.
