Perplexed, Edith followed behind Otto. They walked through the corridors and reached the door to a private room.At that moment, Edith sensed that something was off. She wanted to pull Otto back and leave, but it was too late.Without even knocking, Otto opened the door right away."Otto, you…" Edith trailed off mid-sentence when she saw the figure in the room. Her mind blanked immediately.Yvonne chuckled when she saw Edith standing by the door in a daze. "Mrs. Jenner, it's only been a short while. Have you already forgotten me?""N-No… No." Edith finally came to her senses. She immediately walked into the private room. "Are you really Yvonne? I'm not dreaming, am I?"Edith reached out to touch Yvonne's face. Once she realized that Yvonne was real, her eyes welled up with tears."I really thought t-that… that you were—""I was just resting for a while." Yvonne smiled and looked at Otto. "I have Mr. Carrington to thank for looking after me all this while.""Otto has been l

That afternoon tea was one of the happiest ones Edith had ever had in her life. She was still smiling widely as she left."Mom, wait for me in the car. I still have something to say to Ms. Miller."Edith happily agreed, "Okay! I'll go first. Have a good talk with Ms. Miller. In fact, have a long talk with her."Seeing Edith leave quickly, Otto smiled helplessly. "You're only going to make my mother like you even more."Yvonne hadn't just kindled Edith's hope for a better future; her return had also revived Edith's hope to become her mother-in-law.Yvonne didn't mind one bit. She said with a smile, "Don't you think she's quite adorable? That's how she should be.""Hmm." Otto looked in the direction in which Edith had left. "Thank you for giving me a chance to see my mother's true personality.""Thanking me once is enough." Yvonne followed his gaze."Besides, I have my personal agenda. I really like the gown she made for me. It suits the jewelry exhibition nicely. I can't think o

Mark walked past Jane. He said, "Come with me."Jane didn't budge. "I don't think I have anything to talk to you about.""If you don't want to regret it, you'll come with me," Mark said as he pushed the glass door and entered the café. The bell attached to the door rang.Jane stood rooted to the spot. She hesitated for a while before turning around. Since she was already there, she could just hear him out and see what sort of news that cripple could bring her.They were the only two people in the café, besides the owner.Mark seemed to know the owner. With one look, the owner immediately understood and served them two iced coffees.Jane felt uncomfortable sitting in her seat. After the owner left, she grumbled softly, "What kind of shithole is this? It's so dirty. Can I even drink this?"Mark sneered. He leaned back with his iced coffee. "Sorry for not thinking this through. I didn't think that you would still care about any of this since you now have to rely on someone else to

At that moment, Stephen's private plane landed.The moment he left the arrival hall, he saw Julian and James nearby. He furrowed his brows.James knew all too well that Stephen looked annoyed because of him, but he was long used to it. He smiled at Stephen politely. "Congratulations, Mr. Anderson. You bagged another deal."Stephen ignored him. When he was next to Julian, he reached out to take the stack of documents from the latter.James's enthusiasm didn't die down because of this at all. He quickly went after Stephen and placed his arm around Stephen's shoulder. "Stephen, you should rest. Your body isn't made of steel. You can't just keep going on like this."Stephen ignored him and left the airport.James continued, "Stephen, life is short. You can never earn enough money. It's time you started enjoying your life."Sometimes, I really don't understand you. You don't fool around with women or have any fun at all. Why are you earning so much money then? Don't tell me you rea

When Stephen left Elvin's room, he received a call from Emerald Group.The other party reported on Yvonne's whereabouts and her current position."Ms. Y will be taking the two o'clock flight back to the country. She will be accompanied by Mr. Carrington's mother, Edith Jenner.""Alright. I understand."After hanging up, Stephen put his phone down and looked out of the window at the night sky. His eyes gleamed with conflicted emotions.Yvonne was finally willing to return!…Yvonne watched as Edith packed her bags. Two hours had passed, and Edith was still pacing about in the room.Just by looking at her back, Yvonne could tell that Edith was quite nervous.When Yvonne heard the doorbell ring, she went to open the door. She led Otto to Edith's room. At the door, she said quietly, "Mrs. Jenner has been packing for more than two hours."Otto didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He called out, "Mom."Edith frantically turned around, accidentally knocking over the stack of clothe
