Sometimes, Steven's children liked spending time with Harvey as well. Together, all the toys in their homes couldn't compare to what Harvey had in his.
His house was a child's paradise, with two guest rooms transformed into playrooms packed with games, toys, and activities. It was no wonder the kids adored him—he was practically their king of fun.
Vivian's excitement was palpable. She didn't even hesitate before responding, "Yes! I want to go! I miss Uncle Harvey so much.
Afterward, she played with Joe and Skylar for a while longer. They had dinner together, played again, and ended the evening by reading her favorite picture book. Once Vivian was tucked in bed, Joe and Skylar returned to their bedroom.
"Did Nadia's mother give you a hard time?" Joe's affectionate demeanor had vanished, replaced with the icy seriousness of a man used to wielding authority.
His family had been disrespected, and that was something he wouldn't let slide.
Skylar nodded lightly. "A rare breed of unreasonable parent."
"I'll take care of it," Joe said firmly.
Skylar agreed without argument. She had a major project occupying her time and no patience for dealing with a parent who clearly lacked a moral compass. Picking up her phone, she scrolled through the class group chat.
There weren't any updates from the teacher, but Carmen had made her presence known with dramatic flair.
In the group chat, Carmen started to threaten her. "Mrs. Martin, if you don't address today's situation and apologize to me and Nadia, I won't let this go!"
This message had been sent 30 minutes earlier. Skylar rarely checked her phone when spending time with Vivian unless it was a work call. It was the only reason she had missed the message earlier.
