Chapter 766

Thaddeus wasn't speaking nonsense. It did rain heavily that night. There was no thunder, but the wind howled so fiercely that the raindrops pitter-pattered on the windows.

Worrying that Layla might be scared, Jessamine slipped into her room in the dead of night. Layla was a timid child, always needing to snuggle up to her mother on rainy days to sleep soundly.

The return to Hajera was now on the agenda. Jessamine had already booked the flight tickets in advance and bought local specialties from Zenville for her family. Everything was set.

Friday arrived in a blink. For Thaddeus, this day felt more dreadful than the day before school started.

Soon, he would be on his own again. To make matters worse, he needed a few more days to wrap up his work at the company and couldn't leave with them.

Thaddeus couldn't bear the thought of what his life would be like after his family was gone.

Lately, he had gotten used to the routine of waking up each morning to make breakfast for his family.
