"Sis, we're at the kindergarten."
The sound of Byran's voice snapped a dazed Ellinor back to reality.
"Alright, I'll go get them. You guys wait in the car." She said.
With that, Ellinor got out of the car and walked alone towards the kindergarten's entrance.
Byran watched Ellinor walk away with a touch of concern. "Bro, is... is Sis okay?" He muttered.
"Do you even have to ask?" Balfour's worried gaze also rested on Ellinor's retreating figure. "If it wasn't for your meddling today, Ellinor wouldn't even know about Theo and Sophia!"
Byran knew he'd messed up. He hung his head and sighed.
In no time at all, Ellinor reappeared, leading the three little ones out of the kindergarten.
Balfour and Byran got out of the car one after another.
"Uncle!"
"Uncle!"
As soon as Baber and Layla saw Balfour, they rushed towards him.
Balfour squatted down and opened his arms, embracing the two little ones with a full heart.
Only 'Adrian' seemed a bit reserved, clinging to Ellinor's side, holding her hand, and calling out meekly, "Uncle."
With Baber and Layla in his arms, Balfour looked up at 'Adrian' stuck to Ellinor's side.
