Chapter 1495
Chapter 1495:
Jeanette had quickly integrated into the group. Elma was closest to her, Sophie, ever the nurturing big sister, looked after the younger ones, and even Calvin, usually so reserved, was actively engaging with Jeanette.
Seeing Jeanette in high spirits brought a smile to Kallie’s face.
Spotting Kallie, Jeanette dashed over, beaming. “Kallie, come join us! We’re about to start some games.”
Kallie was exhausted. She patted Jeanette’s head. “Maybe another time. I really need to rest now. Just have fun, and make sure to share if anything is bothering you.”
Jeanette nodded obediently.
Elma then rushed over and wrapped her arms around Kallie. “Mom, I won’t sleep with you tonight. I’m going to stay with Jeanette.”
Caught off guard, Kallie playfully pinched Elma’s cheek. “Oh, so with Jeanette around, I guess I’m no longer important, huh?”
Elma’s eyes widened. “No, Mom, you’re my favorite! It’s just that Jeanette is new here, and I want to make sure she feels comfortable.”
Kallie laughed. “I’m just pulling your leg, sweetheart. Go on, have fun.”
With a giggle, Elma grabbed Jeanette by the hand, and they scampered off together.
Calvin and Sophie caught the weariness in Kallie’s eyes and shared a knowing look.
“Mom looks really worn out. I think something’s up,” Sophie muttered. Back when Trent unexpectedly told them to bring Elma and Jeanette inside, Sophie had sensed something was off. But at that time, the immediate responsibility was the younger children, so she had held back her questions and decided to speak with Kallie later.
Calvin nodded. “It looks like Mom’s keeping things to herself. Asking her might just make her more stressed.”
Sophie nodded, feeling a twinge of concern. “She wants us to enjoy ourselves, even if it means she has to shoulder all the burdens alone. I just wish I knew how to help her lighten the load.”

Calvin nodded in agreement. He felt the same, so he put in a lot of effort. He gently touched Sophie’s shoulder to comfort her.noveldrama
Oblivious to the kids’ worries, Kallie was so worn out that she fell asleep the moment she hit the bed.
In her drowsy state, she was enveloped in a warm embrace.
Recognizing the familiar scent, Kallie relaxed and let herself sleep in Jake’s arms.
Jake softly stroked Kallie’s hair and planted a tender kiss on her forehead.
Still half-asleep, Kallie nestled into Jake’s arms and whispered, “Caitlin is missing. We must find her soon, or I’ll be restless.”
Jake was taken aback by the news. He had left the event early due to an unforeseen issue and wasn’t aware of what had transpired later.
