Ryan felt something was weird. He immediately called Alexander on his smart watch.
"Hello, uncle. Why aren't you here to pick me up yet?"
"I'm on my way. Wait a little."
Alexander asked Ace to park the car on a nearby corner. From there they could secretly observe Sophia and the children.
"You are always busy with work. Are you still working? Have you forgotten what day it is?"
Ryan was irritated and hurt.

Axel bumped Ryan' shoulder. "That's right. Let's go to our house and play."
