Chapter 787
787:
Before Caylee could say a word, the two children dashed toward Linsey’s room.
“Mommy! Are you in there?”
“Come out and have some cookies with us!”
Caylee stood rooted to where she was as she watched the children pat the door to the master bedroom. Suddenly, a lump rose in her throat.
If it were any other day, she would have gently led the kids away and not let them disturb Linsey when she was in a bad mood. However, Gorman’s message to her made Caylee hold back.
It wasn’t long before Linsey opened the door. She was wearing a bathrobe and no makeup. Her hair, too, was still damp.
She crouched down and gently said to the children, “I haven’t showered yet. How about you wait for me to finish, and then we can have cookies together?”
Zenia reached out and touched Linsey’s damp hair. “Dry your hair quickly, Mommy, or you’ll catch a cold.”
Linsey smiled warmly at her and said, “Will do, sweetie. Thank you for reminding me.”
She then took both children by the hand and said to Caylee, who still stood there in a daze, “Could you take the kids to the dining room for me? I’ll be there soon.”
Caylee finally snapped out of her daze and hurried toward Linsey and the kids. “Do you want anything to eat, Linsey? The little ones already had some milk earlier.”

Linsey looked thoughtful for a moment before finally replying, “I’d like some pasta if you don’t mind.”
“Of course,” Caylee said, not meeting Linsey’s gaze.
Once Linsey went back into the bedroom, Caylee led the two children to the dining room.
“Can we help you with anything, Caylee?” Zander asked sweetly.
“We know how to do a lot of things now. We could help you cook pasta for Mommy,” Zenia chimed in.
Caylee couldn’t help but laugh. “In that case, I’ll leave it to my two little chefs to help me wash some vegetables.”
Not long afterward, Linsey came out freshly washed, and Caylee had finished preparing the pasta.
The two children sat obediently at the table. They had placed cookies next to the pasta.
This brought a smile to Linsey’s face.
She walked over to the table and sat down. “Thank you for the yummy pasta and cookies,” she said.
“Have some to eat, Mommy. You must be hungry,” Zenia said.
Linsey nodded, then picked up a fork and began to eat.
Zander watched her intently for a while before saying, “Mommy, Zenia and I washed the vegetables on your pasta. They are super clean.”
