After the chaos finally settled down, everyone gradually returned to their assigned work while Sal remained seated in the living area with Ivy and Leo, still shaking his head in disbelief.
"Mommy, what were you trying to do earlier?" Leo finally asked now that he had the chance to question her strange walk.
Sal immediately pressed his lips together, trying hard not to laugh again. But the second Ivy shot him a warning glare, he quickly straightened his expression and pretended to be serious.
Leo waited patiently for his mother's answer, blinking at her innocently.
"Well…" Ivy cleared her throat awkwardly. "It's related to a new job your mother is working on."
Leo looked even more confused.
"A job?" he repeated. "Mommy, are you planning to work?"
Ivy slowly nodded.
"Would you be okay with that?" she asked cautiously.
