Chapter 55

• Unusually, the whole penthouse is this silsilented down at the screen of my phone to check the time. It's almost six in the evening. I don't think they are sleeping or doing their things. Both Kio and Astrid never share their daily routine with me, but I have managed to crack the code. At this time of the day. Usually, they'll be in the living with their preferred snack and watching, if not a movie, then a show that they are fond of.
• I do think that they are too young for Friends but I can't do anything about it since their favorite.
• "Astrid? Kio? I brought your favorite cake. I will leave it on the table if you want to have some," I shouted. I made sure that my voice was loud enough for them to hear if they happened to be inside their room. Astrid has a sweet tooth but she never eats anything unless she is eating it with Kio. I was so sure that they wouldn't be able to resist their favorite chocolate cake, no matter how much they hated seeing me around. They wouldn't miss it for the world, so things start getting into my head when the deafening silence that is filling the corners of the penthouse stretches.
