Primo woke up and went through his morning routine as usual.
By the time he arrived at the dining room, Lucian was already sipping his medicinal tea, while Ashley was setting the breakfast table right on schedule.
"Good morning, Primo," she greeted with a lovely smile.
Primo studied her expression.
Ashley always smiled at him. Even during difficult times, she somehow managed to give him one.
But today, it felt different.
There was a glow about her that was hard to pinpoint yet impossible to ignore.
Her aura had changed.
And he liked it.
Primo smiled back as he watched her head to the kitchen for the last few dishes. Then he turned to his father, curiosity evident in his eyes.
Lucian arched a brow and looked up from the newspaper.
He gave Primo a wink.
That alone told the boy everything he needed to know.
Primo immediately raised both thumbs in approval.
Just then, Ashley returned and set down the last dishes.
