Cullen collected his documents before leaving with them.
Instead of providing a direct answer, Cullen posed a question: “Would you prefer having lunch with Dad, or would you rather cat with Mom?”
His voice was cautious through the speaker. “Someone from Dennis Group just reached out to me. They’re interested in discussing a potential collaboration.”
“Okay!”
Sabrina bounded over with unbridled excitement. “Wow, look at all this amazing food! And milkshakes too!”
While the three children chatted nearby, Veronica adjusted her goggles and regarded Cullen with a measured look. “The divorce proceedings are still ongoing?”
Dennis Group was currently under Cullen’s control. With his extensive business acumen, Phillip recognized that Cullen wouldn’t extend such an offer without ulterior
motives.
Sabrina appeared confused. “Huh? Aren’t we all eating together?”
After a brief hesitation, he added, “If you’re in immediate need of funds, I can arrange for a partial transfer to your account in the meantime.”
After ending the call, she turned deliberately to lock eyes with Cullen.
His eyes drifted toward Veronica. When she deliberately avoided his gaze, he smoothly redirected his attention to Thomas and Adrian, acknowledging them with a brief nod before gesturing toward the seats. “Sit down.”
“Not yet finalized,” Cullen confirmed.
Aware of Cook watching their interaction, Veronica accepted the offering with a polite, “Thank you”
She elaborated, “Skiing can be quite dangerous. It would be overwhelming for Ver to supervise three children by herself. Go and assist her. Carlos and Matilda are here with me, so you needn’t stay the entire time.”

Cullen’s expression remained neutral as he replied, “No, Dad has some business to
attend to.”
Veronica opened her mouth to object, but Cullen swiftly responded, “I understand.”
Veronica abandoned the topic and was moving toward Sabrina when her phone rang- Phillip was calling.
Cullen gently patted Sabrina’s head. “There’s no hurry. Enjoy skiing first–you can decide afterward.”
There was an unmistakable authority in Cullen’s demeanor.
“Mm,” Cullen replied with a subtle smile. “I anticipated your arrival and had some refreshments prepared.”
At the ski resort, Cullen was helping Sabrina adjust her winter gear and goggles when his phone interrupted them. He stepped aside to answer it, and after a brief conversation, said firmly, “I’ll be there later.”
After spending additional time in the hospital room, Veronica and the group prepared for their departure.
Once the children were settled and eating, Cullen extended a serving toward Veronica. “Would you like to try some?”
Veronica didn’t provide an immediate response.
Upon hearing about their skiing plans,Cook turned to Cullen with a concerned expression. “Cullen, you should accompany Ver and the children.”
After exchanging pleasantries with Cook, both Adrian and Thomas instinctively followed his instruction, joining Sabrina at the table and accepting the food that she and Cullen distributed among them.
He was calling Veronica to understand Cullen’s intentions and to rationally assess whether there might be hidden complications in the proposal–essentially, to determine if he should accept it.
That wasn’t what Veronica had been inquiring about. Before she could clarify, Sabrina’s voice interrupted them. “Mom, come over here!”
She took a tentative sip and discovered it was strawberry flavored–exactly what she

preferred.
The news that Cullen would be joining them visibly delighted Sabrina.
They traveled in separate vehicles–Sabrina, Adrian, and Thomas rode with Veronica.
Sabrina looked up at him. “Dad, who called?”
Veronica and the others overheard this exchange but refrained from commenting.
