A fleeting blush crossed Kari's face as she brushed off the concern. "I-It's nothing—" It was all Ronald's fault for causing such a fuss!

Isaac cleared his schedule to be by her side, and they moved back to Salter Manor.

The old estate needed a touch-up, so Isaac had it renovated and even started a fruit orchard in the backyard with cherries and strawberries.

Daniel, intrigued by gardening, took it upon himself to water the plants daily, only to find the strawberries withering a week later. "Mom, what happened?" He looked at the droopy strawberries, feeling defeated.

"The book said they need to be watered every day." Brittany, her belly prominently showing, lounged on a rocking chair, munching on a sour grape. "You're watering them at noon. It's too hot!" And watering three times a day? That was overkill.

Sniffling, Daniel mumbled, "But I promised Abby the first strawberry we grew." Crunching on another grape, Brittany suggested, "Maybe we can buy new plants?" She had developed a craving for sour foods lately, and these grapes, specially sourced by Isaac for their tartness, were exactly what she wanted.

Daniel, disheartened, walked over and took a grape, popping it into his mouth.
