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
"Uh…" Edith was a little conflicted. She subconsciously looked at Yvonne. "I'm still living with Ms. Miller, so it's a little inconvenient—""You're staying at Yvonne's place? That's even better!" Chelsea's eyes sparkled. She looked at Yvonne eagerly. "Yvonne, you're such a nice person. You won't say no to me, will you? I really left the house in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring a lot of money with me. "Knowing my mom, she will freeze my card sooner or later. When that happens, I really won't have anywhere to go."That is indeed something Heidi would do." Edith looked at Yvonne, speaking on behalf of Chelsea. "Ms. Miller, why don't we let Chelsea share the room with me? I'll look for a place soon. We won't disturb you for too long.""Don't be silly." Yvonne looked at Chelsea. "Since Ms. Carrington was kicked out of the family because she stood up for you, we can't let her suffer too much.""Awesome!" Chelsea jumped happily. "Thank you, Yvonne!""You don't need to thank
"Uh…" Chelsea realized that she had slipped up. She quickly thought of something."It was that case, but one of my coursemate's internship experience turned out to be better than mine, so the professor gave it to her instead.""How could this happen?" Edith was angry. "They had already agreed to give it to you. How could they just give it to someone else? Your coursemates must have laughed at you!""Yes." Chelsea looked at Edith aggrievedly. "I don't dare tell my mom about this yet. I'm just afraid she will yell at me for being useless. Please don't tell her.""Of course I won't. But…" Edith looked troubled. "You won't be able to lie for too long. When it's time for your graduation, Heidi will definitely find out.""I know, and I've been worrying about that for a long time. But I finally have a solution!"Seeing Chelsea's confident gaze, Edith became curious. "What is it?""I'll learn from you. We can work together with Ms. Miller. This will be a great experience to add to my re
