The call was from Agatha.Edith held her phone, suddenly feeling inexplicably nervous. "Otto, should I answer it? Or should I pretend I didn't hear the phone ring?""Hang up." Otto looked at the screen. His gaze darkened. "You've already left the Carrington family. You're free to do what you want to do. You don't owe her any explanations.""But—" While Edith was still hesitating, Otto reached out his hand and rejected the call.Soon, another call came in. Otto rejected it without any hesitation and blocked the caller as well."In the future, you don't have to answer any of Great-Grandma's calls. If she has a problem with it, I'll deal with her."Otto placed Edith's phone back into her bag. "Mom, you've just started a new life. I don't want you to be affected by any negativity."Edith was moved. She looked at Otto, her eyes brimming with tears. "You are the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me in life."…When Agatha heard her call being rejected once more, she was furio
After Chelsea ran off, Agatha took all her anger out on Heidi. She reproached Heidi for not being able to control her daughter.After Heidi was yelled at, she returned to her room. She called Chelsea, only to hear an automated response. Chelsea had switched off her phone. Heidi was so furious that she threw the phone on the floor.She'd initially thought that if she told Agatha the news about Edith taking part in the jewelry exhibition, Agatha would get even angrier at Edith. She'd thought that she would be able to gloat by the side.Who would have thought that Edith wouldn't answer Agatha's phone call?Not only had Heidi not been able to gloat, but she'd also been infuriated by Chelsea. She'd been on the receiving end of the wrath that was supposed to be for Edith.The more Heidi thought about it, the angrier she got. She said through gritted teeth, "Edith Jenner, don't think that you're all that just because you took part in a jewelry exhibition!"Heidi's eyes gleamed malicio
While Yvonne was still stunned, Elvin came to stand in front of her. With tears welling up in his eyes, he looked at her indignantly. "You're back, so why didn't you come to look for me? Don't you want me anymore?"Yvonne's heart shattered into pieces when she heard what Elvin said. She quickly bent down and put her hand on his shoulder. "No. How could I not want you? I'm just—""Your voice…" Elvin was a little bewildered. This wasn't the voice he'd heard on the internet!Yvonne was stunned. She opened her mouth, but she no longer dared to say another word.Rachel immediately went up to him and explained, "Elvin, your mother's vocal cords were damaged after the fire. Her voice had been altered during the jewelry exhibition. "She didn't mean to not contact you. She just wasn't ready to see you yet. She was worried that you wouldn't be able to accept her as she is right now."Rachel looked at Elvin before turning to Yvonne. She felt inexplicably upset.When Elvin heard Rachel's
After sending the message, Yvonne didn't look at her phone again. She cuddled Elvin and fell asleep peacefully.…The next day, they were woken up by the sound of the doorbell ringing.Yvonne got out of bed. She got Rachel to help the children wash up while she headed downstairs to open the door.She thought that Edith must have returned and opened the door without looking through the peephole. The sun shone on her, blinding her a little. She squinted her eyes and saw Stephen's face, much to her surprise. "W-Why are you here?""You took my children away. Can't I come over?" Stephen asked in retort and entered Miller Villa.Yvonne came to her senses. She quickly tugged on Stephen's arm. "Did you tell Elvin about our relationship?""No." Stephen looked at her. "Before the jewelry exhibition, you didn't let me reveal that you'd returned, right?""You're right." Yvonne nodded. "I didn't expect that you would even hide it from Elvin. Does that mean he—"Thinking back about Rache
Soon, everyone sat around the dining table.Edith took out the breakfast she'd bought. "Uh… If this isn't enough for everyone, I'll go and make something for you.""There's no need." Yvonne held Edith's hand. "You'd gone out and celebrated with a bunch of young people last night. You must be exhausted. Sit and have breakfast, then get some rest.""I'm fine. I'm not that tired." Edith smiled. "I haven't had so much fun with young people for a long time. Seeing them full of energy made me feel young once more. I don't feel sleepy at all!"Then, Edith pulled her hand away. "I'll go whip up something for everyone."Seeing Edith enter the kitchen, Yvonne looked back at the dining table. She swept a glance at everyone. They each had a different expression on their faces.Her head hurt. She said curtly, "If none of you have any appetite, you don't have to eat.""No, I want to eat." Rachel immediately picked up her utensils and placed some food on Elvin's and Britney's plates."Even if
After breakfast, Elvin took Britney straight back upstairs without even looking at Stephen.Yvonne found the two little stubborn children adorable. She was relieved that they stood with her unconditionally. "Ms. Miller."When she heard Otto's voice, she turned around. "Hmm?""I received Great-Grandma's call this morning, and I'll be leaving in the afternoon. I'll have to leave my mother in your care." Otto said seriously, "Her career has just taken off. I really don't want anything to hinder her, so—""I understand." Yvonne smiled. "Don't worry about Mrs. Jenner. Miller Jewels wouldn't want to lose such an excellent partner like her. With her abilities, no one will be able to stop her. Even if they try, I won't allow it."Otto smiled. "You, on the other hand, since Mrs. Carrington Senior has called you back, she's most likely going to talk to you about Mrs. Jenner. You might get an earful.""It's fine. This isn't the first time."Coincidentally, Stephen overheard their c
Stephen stopped right in front of Yvonne. "Work has been busy recently. I don't have much time to spend with the children. "I'll let them stay in Miller Villa for the time being. You can look after them. You were gone for a long time. Use this time to catch up with Elvin."Stephen looked upstairs. "Besides, I don't think they want to come with me anyway."Yvonne found it strange. What had Otto said to Stephen? Why did Stephen's tone sound much better than before?"I'm going."Before Yvonne could react, Stephen turned around and left.He left so suddenly, as if he had come over just to have breakfast.After Otto and Stephen left, the world was finally at peace once more. Yvonne thought of Elvin. Just as she was about to head upstairs, she heard scurried footsteps coming toward her."Ms. Miller, I only just saw this message Chelsea had sent me last night."Edith raised her phone in front of Yvonne. "She said she had a huge fight with the family, and she wants to come to see me.
At Northerna City Airport, Yvonne and Edith stood outside the arrival hall. They spotted someone in colorful clothes. They didn't need to see the person's face clearly to know that it was Chelsea.Soon, Chelsea noticed them as well. She excitedly waved her hands. Her exaggerated moves attracted many people's attention.Chelsea ran over to them and hugged Edith. "Aunt Edith, I've missed you!""You silly child." Edith smiled and pushed Chelsea away. "You didn't even wait for me to reply to you. Why did you come here straight away?""Why?" Chelsea pretended to be unhappy. "Are you not happy to see me?""No. I'm just worried that your mother will be unhappy." Edith asked seriously, "Be honest. Did you tell Heidi that you came to Northerna City?""More or less." Chelsea furrowed her brows, clearly impatient. "Aunt Edith, I'm already here. Don't bring up Mom anymore. She annoys me."Edith couldn't help but say, "No matter how bad your argument might have been, she's still your mothe
