I didn’t know if I’d just had a sweet dream. After Heriberto stared at him for a while, he actually smiled, the corners of his mouth turning
Heriberto laughed too.
Nothing was a dream.
He looked at Ezekiel, then at Isabella, and everything just felt so real.
At that moment, he felt like he could die from happiness.
There was never a moment in his life when he felt as happy as he did
now.
Even if he died now, he had no regrets.
Without realizing it, he had stayed in Ezekiel and Isabella’s room for an hour.
By the early morning, Laurel gently knocked on the room and came over to remind Heriberto, who was sitting on the carpet between the two small beds.
“Mr. Hale, it was already late. You could come see Zeke and Bella tomorrow during the day.”
Could he come again tomorrow?
Heriberto couldn’t hold back the excitement inside, but he still wanted more and asked, “Can I stay tonight?”
“Sorry, Ms. Aguilera said no.”

Laurel told him what Iris wanted, “Ms. Aguilera said she would leave at eight tomorrow morning and wouldn’t be back until five in the afternoon. During that time, Mr. Hale could come and stay with Zeke and Bella.”
He could stay with Ezekiel and Isabella from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow, which was a long time.
Heriberto nodded and said yes.
He stood up, looked at Ezekiel and Isabella again with great reluctance, gave each of them a gentle kiss, then turned off the light and went out.
Before going downstairs, he glanced in the direction Iris had left and couldn’t help asking, “Ira, she…”
“Mr. Hale, please!” Laurel said.
It was so late, Iris should have been asleep. He didn’t need to bother her anymore.
Heriberto nodded and finally walked away.
In the master bedroom on the second floor, the light was already off, but the curtains weren’t drawn. The soft lights from the garden outside
came in.
Iris stood by the window, watching Heriberto come out of the building and walk to his car.
Before getting in the car, Heriberto stopped again and looked up at the second floor.
All the lights in the rooms on the second floor were already off, and the windows were completely dark.

But he clearly felt that, behind a certain window, there were two different kinds of gazes watching him.

Looking in the direction of those two gazes, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved up, then he lifted his leg and got in the car.
Iris watched Heriberto get in the car, and the car slowly drove out of Weston Manor. Then she closed the curtains and turned back to bed to sleep.
In the morning, when Iris wasn’t awake yet, Ezekiel and Isabella quietly pushed open her room.
“Shh, Mom wasn’t asleep yet, Zeke, be quiet, you couldn’t wake Mom up.”
Isabella was in front, Ezekiel took off his diaper and followed behind, not in a hurry at all.
Then, Isabella squeezed in through the crack of the door and ran barefoot to jump onto Iris’s big bed.
Ezekiel stood at the door and took a look, then just pushed the door open and walked in with his little short legs, swaggering.
