Xara hesitated briefly before elegantly taking a seat next to Esther. She placed a napkin on her lap.

The dining room atmosphere turned strangely awkward. As a guest, Esther felt uncertain about

alleviating the tension.

At that moment, Sunshine approached, her hands and shoes clean. Without any assistance from

servants, she skillfully climbed onto her chair. She then reached out her chubby little hand toward

Jacob.

“Jacob, smell my hand. Isn’t it fragrant?”

Without a second thought, Jacob replied, “Yes, it is.”

Seeing that everyone was present, Steffan folded the newspaper in his hand and uttered indifferently,

“Serve the dishes.”

“Yes,” the servants replied promptly, relaying the message to the kitchen through the

intercom.

In a matter of moments, uniformed servants brought an array of dishes to the dining room. The table

was adorned with exotic delicacies from around the world, while child-friendly meals were placed near

Sunshine and Felix. Their eyes widened excitedly as they observed the delicious spread, promptly

grabbing their small spoons and forks.

“Mommy, can we eat now?” Sunshine asked in her adorable voice.

Steffan spoke gently toward Sunshine. “Yes, you can.”

“Let’s eat, Uncle Sanderson.” Upon receiving Steffan’s consent, Sunshine and Felix eagerly began

devouring the shrimps placed on the table.

Every time Steffan saw Sunshine’s adorable behavior, he could not help but think how delightful it

would be if Jacob had a cute sister like her.

Sunshine picked up a shrimp with her small fork and placed it into Jacob’s bowl. “Here, Jacob,

eat one.”

Xara watched in surprise as Jacob ate the shrimp Sunshine had served him. She remembered that as

a child, Jacob used to be a neat freak and would not eat food served by others.

While the children ate happily, the adults ate in silence.

The chefs in the kitchen were aware that Xara was there. They had prepared her favorite cheese -

baked shrimp, but her taste had changed over the past five years, and she had lost interest in

While picking up her food, Xara’s hand suddenly cramped, causing her to let out a sharp hiss. Esther

noticed her discomfort and asked, “Xara, what’s wrong?”

“I’m fine,” Xara responded curtly.

While picking up her food, Xara’s hand suddenly cramped, causing her to emit a sharp hiss. Noticing

her discomfort, Esther asked, “Xara, what’s wrong?”

“I’m fine,” Xara replied.

Thoughts of Steffan flooded her mind, the very cause of her cramp. Five years ago, he used to be like

a machine, almost afraid to grant her a moment of solitude. However, now it seemed his interest in her

had waned.

Xara couldn’t help but question whether he had changed or if she had somehow lost her allure in his

eyes.

After dinner, Esther approached Steffan with gratitude in her voice. “Mr. Sanderson, I’ve been imposing

on you with my two children for a long time, and I…”

“Do stay the night and leave tomorrow,” Steffan replied curtly, striding away briskly.

Xara hurriedly approached Esther, clutching her hand anxiously. “Esther, there are plenty of rooms at

the Sandersons. Could you stay a few more days with me?” she asked gently.

Xara dared not think about how awkward it would be for her, Jacob, and Steffan to be alone without

Sunshine, Felix, and Esther.

“Xara, I need to return to my country as soon as possible. I’ll never feel at ease until I find my child,”

Esther said.

Esther’s words rendered Xara speechless. She didn’t know how to persuade her to stay. As mothers,

their children were their whole world. Who would willingly be separated from their child unless it was

absolutely necessary?
