All Chapters of Yearning for Her Return : Chapter 941 - Chapter 950

Worried that Angela would bother Oliver with all the adult stuff, the housekeeper suggested, "Mrs. Stigg Senior, if you're bored here in the garden, you can return to the house for a book or watch television."There are also several entertainment options in your room. Madam Zelda will be back shortly. After lunch, she will arrange for you to tour the Fairport area."Angela had just had a big fight with Zelda right after she had come back from the hospital, and she had just been criticized by Oliver. Also, there hadn't been a message from James yet. She was too annoyed to answer the housekeeper.She sauntered through the garden. The Johnsons had hired a gardener to maintain the beautiful grounds. Also, Fairport had been blessed with nice weather throughout the year, so the temperature was pleasant.As she bathed in the fragrance of flowers in the air, Angela's irritation began to ease. Her mood finally settled after a walk on the stone path in the garden. Her tone was noticeably sof

Zelda frowned and looked at Angela in confusion. "Mom, I don't think what I said earlier is disrespectful. I've already made my point. What else do you want from me?""You!" Angela was too angry to find the right words. She knew Zelda was right. She just couldn't stand that Zelda was treating her like a guest.A whirlwind of emotions washed over Angela as she saw Rebecca clinging to Zelda's arm. All Angela wanted was a close relationship with Zelda. Even if it couldn't be as close as it had been with Mary, it shouldn't have to be so distant.Angela felt devastated. Her anger seemed absurd as she looked into Zelda's indifferent eyes. She knew she had no right to get mad. Her demands for Zelda were endless, yet she still hoped for forgiveness."Mom, it's getting late. I'm not hungry, but the children must eat. Let's talk after dinner," Zelda said. Anger and guilt were written on Angela's face. Yet, Zelda ignored her and went to comfort Cerys, who was still in Penny's arms. "Cerys,

Rebecca smiled. She thought Angela was wrong. Losing a lot over the years had made her who she was. Now, she was even careful around her family when they seemed unkind.Before, she felt she had to be meek and mild in front of the elders, just like Zelda had been. After all she had experienced, she knew not to blindly follow the elders, but to be critical of their words.With a sigh, Angela continued, "I was glad when you came back from Riverwood. Yet, our family is in a difficult spot right now for many reasons and you're one of the big ones. That's why I wanted to talk to you."Perhaps a little tired from the walk, Angela took a seat on the wicker bench. She sat in the middle of the bench and left Rebecca with no choice but to stand. Yet, Rebecca didn't mind at all. She didn't want to sit with Angela even if she had asked her to."Grandma, so, what do you want to talk about?" Rebecca asked with a smile. She showed no displeasure to Angela.Angela would have changed her mind about

"Grandma, I'm not going to do anything. It's just that your words remind me of something. Since you are so fond of Mary, who is also your daughter, I suppose she wouldn't mind taking care of you, would she?" Rebecca replied calmly with a smile.Angela frowned. "What do you mean?"Rebecca had a broad smile on her face. "I don't mean anything. I just think that what you just said makes sense. I'll talk to my mom about relieving the housekeeper who looks after you. It'll save you some trouble.""You—" Angela was about to retort but Rebecca turned away without bothering with the look on her face.She wasn't being heartless even though she said those words. As she walked past the housekeeper, she didn't dismiss her. She simply told her to look after Angela's health and worry about nothing else.Angela was getting old anyway, so Rebecca figured she should just leave her alone. There was no need to mistreat Angela since the Johnsons weren't lacking in material wealth.However, Rebecca f

Zelda used to feel inferior to Mary because Angela favored Mary more. She thought that Angela's bond with Mary might be similar to her bond with Rebecca. Rebecca's kind words always warmed Zelda's heart. They made her want to give Rebecca all she had.Zelda wondered if Angela felt the same way about Mary. Yet, she decided to stop worrying. She knew that equality was a matter of will. She always did her best, even if she couldn't be perfectly fair with her children.Whether her children were mature or playful, they were all wonderful to her and she loved them all equally. Likewise, Zelda realized that she was good enough just the way she was.The afternoon was beautiful, with the chirping of cicadas and the singing of birds in the lush trees. The sunlight streamed through the colorful flowers in the conservatory and landed on the wooden table. The warmth seemed to melt away all the sadness.Angela walked slowly toward the house while using her cane for support. The conservatory upst
