Anderson had been waiting for Joyce, and he had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Joyce return, he quickly rushed into her arms. "Mommy, you're finally back. I thought you didn't want to come back."
Joyce was taken aback, feeling a sour sensation in her heart. She had been busy lately, and she had indeed neglected Anderson's feelings, especially since Luther hadn't been home for a while. Although Anderson didn't say anything, she was sure he must have been lonely.
And Anderson was so smart; even though she had informed Darrin to greet the kindergarten, Anderson probably overheard something.
She hugged Anderson tightly and gently stroked him. "Anderson, what are you worried about? Don't think too much. Daddy definitely has something that's keeping him occupied. He's always thinking of you."
"Yeah, I heard about Daddy and the other woman," Anderson said with a serious expression.
Joyce squinted her eyes; Anderson had indeed found out. "Anderson, is someone spreading rumors at school? Don't believe it. If there's something important, Mommy will definitely tell you."
"I know, I won't believe them. Who in the world could be better than Mommy? Daddy put in so much effort to earn Mommy's forgiveness. He wouldn't betray Mommy for anyone else. That reason doesn't hold up." Anderson analyzed the situation on his own.
Joyce smiled and ruffled Anderson's hair. "Anderson, you have such independent thinking abilities. You're amazing."
Darrin stood beside Joyce, gently looking at Anderson.
It was a great feeling in the Warner family, how they trusted each other. It wasn't like many other families where the slightest rumor would lead to suspicion and a complete lack of trust. Those days were like living in hell.
Darrin hoped that he, too, would have a soulmate who would support and trust him, no matter what.
"I'll go prepare a late-night snack," Darrin lightly patted Anderson's shoulder.
"Yeah, Mommy, have you seen that woman? What does she look like?" Anderson asked.
Joyce nodded. "I saw her today. She's beautiful, with delicate features, but also terrifying. Her presence is eerie, and I don't know how to describe it."
"Didn't you take a picture of her?" Anderson asked.
Joyce shook her head. "I was in a hurry, and I wanted to secretly take a picture of her, but in the end, I didn't manage to. Why do you ask, Anderson?"
"I suddenly became very interested," Anderson said with a curious expression.
Just then, Darrin happened to finish arranging the late-night snack and walked over. He overheard their conversation.
Darrin thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can capture her appearance. She left through the back door, and I have a car parked nearby. I removed all her weapons from the car. There's a dashcam installed, which might have recorded something."
Anderson quickly jumped up. "What are we waiting for? Let me see it quickly."
Joyce looked at Anderson suspiciously. Did Anderson have the same doubts as her? Anderson was too smart!
