140 ENCOUNTER

TILLY knitted her eyebrows when she remembered something while talking to her children. "Your father is late."

"Eomma, did you forget that Appa said he's with Mr. Moon?"

It wasn't Winter.

The one who asked that was Julian, her oldest son, who just came out of the dining hall.

"Oh, right," Tilly said, slightly tapping her forehead. "I forgot since I got excited when Winter said Neoma agreed to visit us this weekend with her family." She paused for a moment before she clapped her hands. "Right--- your father said he'd get me an additional bodyguard. A female bodyguard."

"That was a good decision on Appa's part," Julian said, sitting next to Tilly. "Ahjussi cannot accompany you to certain places, so it's better for Eomma to have a female bodyguard around."

"I just hope Appa didn't hire additional bodyguards for us," Winter said, sighing. "I'm tired of being surrounded by big, scary men."

Tilly just smiled at her son's concern.
