Wesley approached Ryan and said gratefully, "Mr. Marshall, I can't thank you enough. Please, let me know how much you charge—"
Ryan waved his hand dismissively. "No need. We agreed it was just a favor. I'm leaving now." Without another word, he turned and walked away, leaving no room for discussion.
Arthur watched his departing figure with admiration, wondering, 'How could there be such a great person in this world?' If Arthur were a beautiful young woman, he might have thought Ryan had a secret crush on him.
"Arthur, we owe Mr. Marshall a huge debt. We should prepare a gift and visit him to express our gratitude," Wesley said.
Arthur nodded. "Of course."
Ryan hadn't gone far when he received a phone call. After a brief conversation, he keenly assessed his surroundings and sent a message to Arthur. [Given everything that's happened tonight, you'd better pack up and head home early.]
Rufus's men had noticed suspicious individuals in the vicinity, possibly targeting the Donovan family. It wasn't safe for them to stay there.
Arthur, fully trusting Ryan, responded immediately. [Alright. We'll head back now.]
He then showed Wesley the message. Wesley pondered for a moment and said, "These ingredients won't be fresh by tomorrow. Let's give them to the neighboring restaurants."
After the commotion, they were in no mood to cook for others. Distributing the ingredients to other restaurants, however, earned them some goodwill. Little did they know that this would be their last time here. Claire held Josie in the backseat while Wesley drove the car, and Arthur followed behind on his motorbike.
Unbeknownst to them, someone had been trailing them discreetly. It wasn't until they entered their apartment building and the lights in their unit came on that the follower left.
They were unaware that Lucas had been driving closely behind them, grinding his teeth in fury and contemplating ramming his car into them. However, with other vehicles on the road, he was forced to abandon the idea.
By the time the Donovan family returned home, it was around ten in the evening. To their surprise, Maria had already returned. She hadn't mentioned her encounter at the coffee shop. Instead, she cheerfully shared that she had the next day off and planned to give the house a thorough cleaning.
Wesley and the others didn't tell Maria about the incident at the restaurant either. They simply said they were sold out for the day, so they came home early. However, aside from Josie, everyone understood the situation.
Their address, the location of their restaurant, and their workplace had all been leaked. It was certain that many would swarm to gawk and pry, and college recruiters might even show up, adding to the spectacle. They had no idea how they would handle it.
With these thoughts on their minds, they lost interest in watching TV. They finished their evening routine and went to bed early.
Wesley was sure he would have trouble sleeping that night, but after taking some supplements from Athena, he drifted off almost instantly. Claire also slept soundly, while Arthur and Maria had a restless night.
When Wesley and Claire woke up in the morning, Maria had already prepared breakfast. The spread included scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, ratatouille, fresh milk, and orange juice. Though the breakfast was delicious, everyone except Josie forced a smile, struggling to hide their concerns.
Arthur wondered if they were still serving tonight. Maria debated whether she should return to the coffee shop tomorrow. Claire considered if they should take a few days off until things cooled down. These questions plagued their minds.
Before he could finish his breakfast, Wesley's phone rang. It was a call from Bard Property. He straightened up, put the call on speaker, and answered, "Hello, this is Wesley."
"Hello, Mr. Donovan. This is Bard Property. I regret to inform you..." The voice on the other end had them holding their breath as a bad premonition settled over them.
"Due to numerous cracks in the roof and exterior walls, and the need for some pre-ordered materials, your house may take two to three months to be fully repaired," informed the representative of Bard Property.
Ryan waved his hand dismissively. "No need. We agreed it was just a favor. I'm leaving now." Without another word, he turned and walked away, leaving no room for discussion.
