Chapter 189
When the three of them entered, the café was quiet, with only a handful of customers. At one table sat three
kids-one of whom was a head taller than the others.
“Lessie, Zachary?” Karen, the cashier, was the first to spot them. “And this must be Mae?”
The three children turned at the sound.
“Alessia!” York hopped down from his chair and waved, Ivan following right behind. Zane, looking confused but
curious, saw the others leaving and trailed after them.
Alessia ruffled York's hair affectionately before turning to Ivan. “How's everything going?”
Ivan nodded and tugged Zane closer.
“A new friend?” Alessia asked, meeting Zane’s wide-eyed gaze. He brightened
instantly, offering a polite greeting.
“Hello, miss. My name's Zane.”
“New friend? Hah!” York scoffed. “He nearly made Ivan cry this morning!”
Alessia glanced at Ivan, who simply shook his head.
“Big misunderstanding! | swear | didn’t bully Ivan. If | had, would he have broughthere? Right, Ivan?” Zane
hurried to explain, desperate not to make a bad
impression on Alessia.

Ivan nodded, about to speak, but York cut in again.
“Please. You practically begged for a ride in my car.”
“York!” Alessia put a firm hand on York's head before the bickering could escalate. “Let's eat first. We can talk
about this later.”
York pouted, only then noticing Mae behind Alessia.
“Mr. York.”
“Mae? What are you doing here?” York put his hands behind his back, in a manner that made him look far older
than he was.
“Mr. York, I... | resigned. | won't be working for the Tate family anymore.”

At that, Alessia gave York a sharp flick to the forehead.
“What was that for? Am | wrong?”
“Think about that last thing you said.”
York realized he'd crossed a line. He rubbed his nose sheepishly. “I wasn’t talking about you guys...” he
muttered, backing down when Alessia shot him a warning look.
“Still Ileana, huh?” Karen muttered, her smile tight and forced.
Mae, who'd worked for the Tate family for years, clearly wasn’t about to badmouth her former employers. She
could only manage an awkward smile.

“What?” Karen and Zachary gaped at her, and for a moment Alessia thought they were about to scold her for
touching their precious foster daughter.
But Zachary’s next question caught her off guard. “Did you leave any evidence?”
