Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 86

It was dinner time, and Phishie's dad had also returned. The whole family sat together, and Helen felt that the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Helen, just treat this place like your home," Eric said warmly. He then turned to Zac and added, "You're all Phishie's friends, and I'm very grateful for how you've taken care of her."

"Dad, let me tell you just how amazing Helen is. She got first place in both the Math Olympiad and the Encerian public speaking competition. She's my idol."

Eric said, "Then you should learn more from her."

Phishie blushed and stuck out her tongue. "Of course, Helen is my idol."

The family chatted and laughed. It created a warm and cozy atmosphere, and Helen felt a sense of nostalgia. She then lowered her gaze to hide her emotions.

Helen and Zac left Phishie's house after dinner. On the way home, Helen closed her eyes briefly, and memories from many years ago flashed by. It was moments spent with her parents—though those memories were distant, they were still vivid.

Helen looked out the window, and a single tear slid down her cheek.

"It's the weekend tomorrow. Do you have any plans?" Zac suddenly asked and interrupted Helen's thoughts. She quickly collected herself and replied, "I'll probably do some homework."

Zac nodded. "I heard that there's a new hot spring resort on the west side of town. How about going to the hot springs together?"

Helen shook her head faintly. "I'd rather not. I'm not a big fan of hot springs."

"Would you like to go watch a movie together, then? A new comedy film just came out, and it has good reviews." Zac had great enthusiasm, which was quite different from Helen's previous impression of him.

"Zac, you..." Helen couldn't finish her sentence before Zac interrupted again.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm just afraid that you'll be bored over the weekend. Besides, it's also my grandpa's idea to have us brothers spend more time with you."

Zac didn't care and merely smiled, "Chandler, what are you talking about? I'm just following Grandpa's wishes to take better care of her. How am I bothering her?"

Zac continued. "Chandler, you should focus more on the company's affairs. I heard that the company will launch a new project involving significant investments soon. You should pay closer attention to avoid any mishaps."

Chandler's gaze grew serious, but his face remained stoic. "Remember what I said and don't cross the line."

He was referring to Helen.

Zac pretended as if he didn't quite get it. "Don't worry, Chandler! I know my boundaries. I won't interfere with company affairs. As for other matters, I know where the line is."

"You'd better."
