Chapter 911 Wishful Thinking

Rebecca and Sam settled into their seats at the restaurant, and something caught Rebecca's attention—the odd expression on Sam's face.After ordering their food, Rebecca couldn't resist asking, "Why are you looking at me like that?"Sam nonchalantly tapped the table and said, "Oh, it's nothing. I just thought you might see someone and start thinking about an old flame."Rebecca was puzzled. She hadn't been thinking about that at all. Deciding to let it go, she shifted her focus to the dessert the waiter brought to the table.Surprisingly, enjoying a cold treat in the slightly chilly atmosphere turned out to be a delightful experience, and Rebecca relished every bite."Are you sure you're over him?" Sam persisted when Rebecca remained quiet.Daniel's return triggered valid concerns. His remarkable physical recovery was undeniable.

Chapter 913 The Last Straw

Rebecca kept grinning as she said straightforwardly, "Oops, our place is full, and we didn't expect you and your daughter. There's just not enough space for you two."If Zelda had said that, Angela could have made her feel bad and convinced her to let them stick around. Angela usually pushed Zelda by saying she should look after her younger sister because she was the older one.But the game shifted when Rebecca spoke up. Even though she was younger than Mary, her words surprised everyone with a confidence that no one expected. She was confident because she had survived a car crash that might've been caused by Mary.Also, Rebecca had disappeared as a baby, and it was somehow connected to Mary. This connection left Angela hesitant to confront Rebecca.Even if Angela considered mentioning it, Rebecca could easily brush it off by using her youth as an excuse. Angela shot Rebecca a disapproving look but chose to keep quiet.However, Mary wasn't satisfied and fired back, "Becca, I'm not

Chapter 914 The Annoying Pair

Zelda's comment made Mary feel a bit guilty, and she retorted, "Who cares about staying at your place? We'll just book a hotel room for ourselves."She stood tall and held onto Angela's arm while muttering, "I came to be with Mom, not you. It's funny how rich people get stingy. You won't even spend money on a hotel room for us."The others heard her not-so-loud complaint and shot glances her way. Mary ignored them and kept muttering to herself defiantly."Enough. Since we're all here, let's grab a meal first. Why gather at the airport? Come on, let's eat! Nothing's more important than a good meal!" James' suggestion broke the tension.Angela looked tired. She glanced at Mary before sighing. Without a word, she caught up with the others by walking with her cane.Mary was aware that her main support at the moment was Angela. She had brought Serena along for a specific reason. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come at all.Angela shrugged off Mary's hand and continued walking ahead. Mary

"How could that be? I saw—"Mary's words were cut off by James, who suddenly opened his eyes and silenced her with a sharp look.Meanwhile, Angela and Serena were also seated in the back seats of the limousine.James closed his eyes again. Mary glanced at him before shifting her attention to Angela, who seemed weary. In the end, she chose to remain silent.James didn't share a home with Zelda and the rest in Fairport. Instead, he lived in a villa just a short five-minute walk from Zelda's place in the same villa area.Even though he had his own place, he liked to join Zelda for meals at her house.

She linked her arm with Angela's and started complaining, "Mom, look at how Dad's treating me."I've only been at Fairport for a few days, and now, he's acting like this. It's not easy for me to make the trip all the way here. I brought Serena along because I'm worried about him, but he—"James was fuming with anger and burst out, "You're aware it's a long journey too. Can't you let your mom take a break? She's at an age where she needs rest, and you're not a child anymore."Your daughter's already grown up. Can't you see that?"In his younger years, James had a fiery temper and would often shout at the apprentices he was mentoring.He became more indifferent to trivial matters as he grew older. However, it didn't mean he did not have a temper anymore.James and Angela picked Fairport for

Chapter 917 Avoid Unnecessary Arguments

James walked out of the room with his hands clasped behind his back. The room went silent in an instant.As soon as Mary heard the front door close, she turned to Angela and asked, "Did I make Dad mad?"Angela felt too tired to talk. Back before she arrived in Fairport, she had chatted with James quite a bit and learned about his life here.

As Angela walked toward the door, she asked, "Should I just walk over?"The housekeeper smiled and said, "Mrs. Johnson's place is just a quick walk from here. It's good for your digestion to walk back after dinner."But don't worry, Mrs. Stigg Senior, if you're not up for it, I can have the driver pick you up right now."Luckily, the Johnsons' place wasn't too far, so they wouldn't need to wait too long for a ride.Angela snorted and tapped her cane on the ground. "My leg is practically crippled. Are you seriously expecting me to walk over?""Apologies, Mrs. Stigg Senior. It was my mistake." The hou

Chapter 920 No Longer Push Herself

"Mom, do you think it's okay if we just leave them outside and grab dinner now?" Rebecca asked.Zelda gave her a look and raised an eyebrow. "You were practically dragging me. I thought my arm was going to be torn off."Rebecca playfully made a face and loosened her grip on Zelda's arm. She silently hoped that Zelda wouldn't be visiting Angela in the hospital after Angela's rude comments.The villa area wasn't sprawling, and even though some villas were sizable, it was mostly due to their spacious yards. The villas were designed to fit a family comfortably.Setting up a separate house for James was primarily because they believed the elders preferred peace. Thus, living nearby but without disrupting each other seemed like the optimal arrangement.They understood that personal space was essential not only for children but also for parents. Various issues might crop up if they were to live together.Since the Johnsons owned numerous properties in the villa area, it made more sense
