Luther and Joyce returned to Khebury, the Warner residence, and spent two days settling in. Mr. Arnold was particularly pleased and busy commanding the servants to clean the rooms and living room spotlessly. In the sprawling garden, not a single weed could be seen, and the tree crowns of the long avenue had been trimmed. During Luther's absence, the entire European-style building had been renovated at great cost. Now, in the light of the morning sun, it shone like a palace.
Anderson particularly enjoyed the environment of the old house, and in the spring, he woke up early to the sound of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers. He had eaten breakfast and was playing in the yard. Luther woke up a bit later, having been in continuous meetings for the past two days, dealing with a mountain of work. Joyce was still sleeping; she was even more tired. Upon returning to Khebury, she was busy relocating her QR design company to a new building, not far from R&S Group headquarters, about a ten-minute walk away. The employees who were originally in Mufron would arrive in Khebury in three days and begin the recruitment process. Her goal was to make JK Intelligence the leading company in Pascaylia and occupy a leading market share.
Luther came to Joyce's side and saw that she was already showing signs of waking up. He gently flicked her hair and caressed her cheek, his lips overflowing with tenderness. Joyce felt a tickle in her neck. She woke up with a faint consciousness and opened her eyes to see a magnified handsome face. To be honest, after returning to Khebury, she slept more soundly, feeling a sense of returning home. In The Capital, no matter where she stayed, she always felt like a temporary resident. During her years in Mufron, she was even more adrift. Coming back was truly stable.
"Where's Andres?" She hugged his neck and pulled him closer.
"He's been up for a long time, playing happily," Luther said, kissing her and giving her a long morning kiss.
The kiss made Joyce completely awake, and she pushed him away and got up, saying, "I'm getting up, I'm hungry." She was afraid that if they kept kissing, he would lose control again.
"Hmm." Luther pecked her on the cheek.
"Breakfast is already ready. I've already eaten. I'll eat with you and then go to the group," he said.
"Is everything going smoothly with the company?" Joyce asked while washing up.
"Of course, what can't I handle?" Luther smiled, picking up a towel to wipe her face.
Joyce sat down at the table. Today's breakfast was special and abundant, all exquisite Western dishes, such as tuna salad, corn porridge, chickpeas with matsutake mushroom sauce, and smoked Parma ham sandwiches, and so on. Luther handed her a glass of milk.
"Breakfast should be nutritious. You're pregnant, so you need to eat more," he said.
Joyce looked up and asked, "How's Andres' kindergarten arrangement?"
"Khebury Dewey Noble Kindergarten. He starts school tomorrow. The sponsorship fee for children who can go to school is tens of millions. The kindergarten has all kinds of high-end equipment, miniature golf, a horse stable, and so on," Luther said.
"That sounds nice," Joyce said with some concern, "but what I'm most worried about is that Andres always seems to be out of place among his peers. He's like an outsider."
"Geniuses are always lonely," Luther said.
"This time, I asked the kindergarten to set up a genius class, with about ten children. Each child has their own talent. Some are born musicians, some are good at painting and have already held exhibitions, and some have special skills in robotics. Andres will adapt to many things in such an environment," Luther said.
