Iris:
Sadly, even when I wanted to, I couldn't. I gestured with my hand.
"I'm fine. You have something important to do, and I have something important to do as well."
I said only that before leaving to get my children's toys and everything ready.
When everything was done, I stood in the doorway and watched Kash get into the car with Lara. My children climbed in after him.
They kept turning their heads to look at me. It was proof that they were not happy about it.
I knew my children did not like Lara, and they had no reason to like her. But Kash was with them, and I could not be, because my work was important too.
Once they left, I turned and saw Lady Vivian standing in the doorway. A familiar confusion was visible on her face.
"What is occupying you so much that even when he asks you to spend time with him, you ignore him?" she questioned.
She had already made it clear that she did not trust me and believed I was the one spending time with Markus. Yet here she was, confused.
