Lyle was busy in the kitchen when he felt the door open and a small smile appeared on his face.
He left the kitchen and walked to the balcony. Ren was dressed in his school uniform and clutched his bag as he watched the house nervously.
Nathan followed behind him as he gave a subtle shake of his head.
Lyle nodded.
"Ren, did you have a good day at school?"
Ren nodded with a crestfallen expression, "F..father."
"Your dad won't come back for a while but he sent me a message to take good care of you."
He immediately passed Ren his phone to show the slightly edited. "Take good care of Ren and Nathan."
Ren held the phone with sparkling eyes before giving it back to Lyle. "Go and change, then come down for a snack. Lunch will be ready soon."
Ren nodded as he walked quickly out of the room.
