The children exchanged looks like I was the one falling behind.

Iris looked slightly embarrassed before answering.

“I created emergency code signals for the watches.”.

I nearly missed a turn.

“You WHAT?”

Alex looked delighted now that the truth was out.

“There’s different colors,” he explained proudly. “Yellow means soft extraction. Red means danger. Blue means regroup point.”

Alice raised her hand immediately.

“Purple means snacks.”

Jason was going to lose his mind.

Or worse-

Encourage this.

By the time we arrived at the fairy house, I already knew exactly how the upcoming conversation would go.

I opened the secure video call with Jason.

His face appeared almost instantly on the large kitchen screen.

He was still inside the car heading back from Cronos Tower, tie loosened slightly, expression tense until he saw all four children visibly safe behind me.

The relief in his face was immediate.

Subtle.

But there.

“You’re home.” 1

“We’re home,” I confirmed softly.

Then Alex launched directly into the explanation before I could stop him.

“I used the watch system.”

Jason blinked once.

“The what?”

And just like that, chaos erupted again.

All four children started explaining simultaneously.

Emergency codes.

IF signals.

Color systems.

Chicken pox strategy deployment.

For several seconds, Jason simply stared at them in complete silence.

Then-

To my utter betrayal-

He laughed.

Not a polite chuckle.

A real laugh.

The kind that forced him to lean back slightly in his seat.

I crossed my arms immediately.

“This is your fault too.”

Jason shook his head instantly, still laughing under his breath.

“No,” he said calmly. “This is entirely your fault.”

“Mine?”

“You corrupted them.”

Alice looked deeply offended.

“We are highly efficient.”

Jason pointed directly toward the screen.

“See? Tiny masterminds. Exactly like you.”

Honestly?

Fair.

The children scattered the second we entered the house.

Alice dramatically announced she was “too fragile for school.”

Rose immediately started helping prepare tea like she had lived there her entire life.

Iris quietly disappeared upstairs for a few minutes, probably needing space after almost crossing paths with the Vincents again.

After the call settled slightly, I opened my company communication system and sent an internal executive notice.

Due to a chicken pox outbreak affecting the children in my household, I will be working remotely for the next several days to avoid unnecessary exposure. All scheduled meetings will continue digitally unless otherwise specified. 2

Within minutes, the responses began flooding in.

Mostly sympathy.

A few terrified messages from executives suddenly worried about catching chicken pox themselves.

Jason sent a nearly identical notice moments later.

Then he canceled his final meeting of the day entirely and began heading home.

We remained connected through the secure call while he drove.

I was halfway through explaining how suspiciously convenient the school inspection timing had been when Jason’s expression shifted suddenly.

His assistant’s voice echoed faintly through his headset.

“Sir,” the man said carefully, “there is someone from the Vincent family requesting to speak with you.”

The kitchen went completely silent.

Jason’s eyes lifted slowly toward the screen.

Toward me. 1

And then-

Very calmly-

He accepted the call.

Jason POV

The moment my assistant mentioned the Vincent family, the atmosphere inside the car shifted completely.

Cold.

Focused.

Dangerous.

I glanced briefly toward the screen still connected to Amber’s kitchen.

“Patch it through,” I said calmly.

The line connected almost instantly.

“Mr. Sun.”

The voice was smooth. Cultured.

The kind of voice that belonged to old money and dangerous men raised to hide threats beneath manners.

“Gabriel Vincent,” the man introduced himself pleasantly. “I apologize for contacting you unexpectedly.”

I leaned back slightly against the leather seat.

“Mr. Vincent.”

A soft chuckle echoed through the speaker.

“I’m currently in town handling several investment opportunities,” he explained smoothly. “And I hoped we might discuss securing some business deals between our corporations.”

Of course he did.

“Cronos has been attracting impressive attention lately,” Gabriel continued. “And I believe cooperation between our enterprises could prove… mutually beneficial.”

The threat hid beneath every polite syllable.

Not aggressive enough to acknowledge.

Just enough to be understood.

“And,” he added casually, “I was hoping you might point me toward the best way to contact Phoenix Ashes as well.”

I kept my expression completely neutral.

“Ms. Asher’s company has grown remarkably fast,” Gabriel continued pleasantly. “A rising real estate empire is always worth observing.”

Observing.

Interesting choice of word.

Then came the real reason for the call.

“Oh,” Gabriel said lightly, almost as an afterthought, “I should mention that I’m part of the school board for the

cademy your children attend.”

Every muscle in my body tightened instantly.

“I was lookitig forward to meeting thein today.”

A pause.

“I’ve heard wonderful things about Alex and Alice.”

There it was.

The threat.

Wrapped carefully inside civility.

I forced myself to remain calm.

Measured.

“Unfortunately,” I replied smoothly, “Alice and Alex are currently in quarantine.”

Gabriel paused very slightly.

“Quarantine?”

“Chicken pox.

Behind the secure video screen, Amber covered her mouth immediately to stop herself from smiling.

I continued calmly.

“The outbreak apparently began at the school this morning.”

A soft hum echoed through the speaker.

“How unfortunate.”
