“Is the baby healthy?” Katherine had asked, her voice weak but filled with concern.

Joelle completely understood her feelings. When she had just given birth to Aurora, her primary concern had been the baby’s health as well.

“Kathy, focus on getting better. Let my brother and the nanny take care of the baby. Right now, you’re the family’s priority,” Joelle reassured her.

Katherine had regained some of her strength and looked much better than the day before. “Joelle, I’m alright. Just make sure you’re careful these next few months.”

“Alright. Don’t worry. Adrian is more vigilant than I am!” Joelle said, a playful smile tugging at her lips.

Just then, Bobby appeared, laden with gifts. Unable to visit, many of their friends had sent their well-wishes and presents to the hospital.

The gifts Bobby was holding came from Rafael and Allie, his parents, and Fannie. Originally, the Finch family had considered contributing their own gifts but ultimately decided against it. It was well-known in Illerith that the Finch and Miller families had a strained relationship, often avoiding joint appearances at events.

“What? Fannie? Bobby, aren’t you two over?” Ferris asked, his voice laced with curiosity.

Teasingly, Katherine added, “He’s not ready to let go of Fannie. Just yesterday, she asked him to send her regards, and he purposely declined—just looking for an excuse to bump into her again.”

“Crafty move, Bobby!” Lily laughed, clearly enjoying the moment.

Approaching nonchalantly, Bobby grabbed some of Katherine’s chocolates. He was savoring them when Shawn suddenly yanked him aside.

With a raised eyebrow, Joelle questioned, “Bobby, what’s your angle? Pursuing someone else’s girl isn’t right. Fannie isn’t single.”

“You’re talking about Jett?” Adrian interjected.

“I’ve met him. He’s respectable. It makes sense Fannie chose him. It shows she has good judgment,” he continued, his tone thoughtful.

Shawn nodded in agreement with Adrian’s comment.

“Jett, though?” Michael added, his voice casual from the couch.

“I wouldn’t praise him too much. I’ve been around some people from the film crew lately, and word is he’s getting cozy with a young starlet. Looks like he’s spending money to boost her career.”

Confused, Katherine replied, “But isn’t that actress managed by Fannie? Could Jett be doing that to help her?”

Bobby’s expression was a mix of mockery and indifference. As the conversation turned to his personal matters, he remained coolly detached, seemingly unaffected by the discussion unfolding around him.

It wasn’t until Aurora walked in after school to see the newborn that the group’s attention shifted away from Bobby.

The next morning, when Fannie arrived at work, her boss was unusually thoughtful, personally delivering her coffee.

“Did I hear correctly that you secured some slots on Amy’s variety show?” he asked, a hint of curiosity in his tone.
