Chapter 601

Since Erica returned to the Emperia three years ago, Sara hadn't stepped out of Bassett Residence.Even for the Bassett family's grand events, Erica only attended those held at Bassett Residence; otherwise, she stayed away. However, she brought Iris along this time."Theodore, I know you don't want me here, but I just want to see Yaron," Iris said while holding the child with tears in her eyes."She is Yaron's birth mother. What's wrong with attending her own child's birthday party? Theodore, you shouldn't be so self-centered. Please think about Yaron too," Sara said.After Sara finished speaking, she glanced outside the lounge. "It's been three years. It's time to give Iris some recognition.""Grandma," Theodore quickly interrupted. "I have everything arranged for Yaron's identity. You don't need to interfere.""And where are your arrangements?" Sara's pointed question left Theodore speechless.Willow still hadn't arrived."If Willow doesn't come, are you planning to tell our

Chapter 602

"What are you crying for? Speak up! Say something!" Iris shouted.Behind her, Sara's expression twisted in disappointment when she saw Iris' actions. "Iris!""Grandma," Willow interrupted before Sara could say more.Sara froze upon hearing that. After seeing Willow again after three years, she appeared even more intimidating and assertive. The power in her gaze was something Sara herself hadn't possessed even two decades ago.Willow smiled faintly, but beneath that smile was a clear warning. "Grandma, you have a kind heart. I know you feel sorry for Iris, who is struggling alone in Emperia. But did you hear what she just said? If this gets out, people will think Yaron is an illegitimate child."That struck a nerve with Sara, and her expression tightened. Yaron was Theodore's eldest and currently the only son. She couldn't bear to let rumors stain the family name by calling Yaron an illegitimate child.No matter how much she disliked Willow, Sara had to accept this reality."Ther

Chapter 603

Theodore glanced at Finley with a puzzle. "What exactly happened just now?""Iris lied. She said Yasmine was still alive and that I could meet her today. But on the way, she set up an ambush to have me killed, "Willow explained as she laid out the events that happened."She told you Yasmine is alive?" Theodore's frown deepened."Yes." Willow nodded firmly. "I've already seen the photos, and Finley also found Yasmine. Once the party's over, I have to go and get her."Theodore looked at Finley. His disbelief was evident, and he stared at him like he was seeking confirmation.Finley nodded. "I had a friend pick her up. Yasmine was adopted by a couple and has been living in the countryside. To stop Iris' plan, I brought Willow back to the party first, and luckily, it was just in time.""I need to go now. I want to see Yasmine as soon as possible," Willow said anxiously.Theodore grabbed Willow's hand. "I will go along with you."…In the countryside of Emperia, Finley led Willow a

Theodore helped Willow back into the car."Maybe… maybe they remembered wrongly that they found the child in the winter. Or maybe they just don't want to give the child back, so they're lying," Willow said.She suddenly reached for the door handle. "I'll go back and check again.""Willow, she is not our daughter." Theodore caught her hand.The warmth of his touch seemed to pull her back, and when she looked into his unwavering eyes, her chest tightened.Suddenly, her nose felt sore, and the tears fell. "How can she not be our child?"Theodore pulled her close and gently patted her back. He didn't say a word and simply held her as she cried.By the time they returned to the city center, it was already nightfall.Inside the police station's interrogation room, a simple wooden table separated Willow and Iris.Iris had been temporarily detained for attempted murder as Finley had reported her.Right after Iris was dragged out of the afternoon's event by security, the police took h

Chapter 605

"Your daughter? So, you both…" Willow stared at them in shock and took a moment to process what she had just heard.Willow struggled to find the right words before finally blurting out, "Matthew, the woman you told me you were going to marry was Joey?"Now that it was out in the open, there was no point in hiding it. Matthew had no intention of keeping it a secret anymore."Yes," Matthew admitted with a nod."Why didn't either of you tell me?" Willow asked with confusion. "And Joey, you have a daughter? You both have a daughter? How is it I've never known? When did all of this happen?""It's a long story, and maybe we should find somewhere to sit and talk?" Matthew replied with a conflicted expression.Theodore, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up, "I'll find us a place."It was late, and after an exhausting day, Willow was more tired than she realized. She had been stressed and anxious about Yasmine, and running into Matthew and Joey at the police station was

Chapter 606

"Joey, can you calm down?" Matthew asked.Seeing that Matthew wasn't following, Joey's expression darkened even more. "Fine. You're not leaving? Then I will.""I'm sorry, but Joey's been really emotional lately. We'll talk later," Matthew quickly apologized to Willow and Theodore."Wait—" Willow tried to stop Matthew as she wanted to discuss the photo, but the two of them left so quickly that she couldn't catch up.Theodore gently pulled her back. "Let it go for now. We'll talk to Matthew later. Since the child is with us, then it's just a misunderstanding that can be cleared up easily.""It's my fault for not explaining it, but why would the child lie and say her name is Yasmine?" Willow frowned.The girl on Matthew's phone was indeed named Yasmine, but she wasn't Willow's daughter; she was just the girl she found. Clearly, Joey had misunderstood.After settling the bill, they stepped out of the bar, and the cool night breeze swept away some of the tension.Willow sent a quick

Chapter 607

"Then why didn't you tell me Lottie went missing in Portumville? If she hadn't run into Willow by chance, where would she be now? Have you, as her mother, even worried about her at all?" Matthew questioned."How could I not worry for Lottie? I reported her missing to the police in Portumville and had friends helping to look for her! Do you even know why I didn't tell you?" Joey asked. Matthew froze momentarily. "It's because of you," Joey said as her voice faltered, and her expression was filled with restrained emotion. "I told you we had a daughter, and you said you'd head to Portumville while I stayed with Lottie in Emperia. But I didn't feel at ease." "So, you brought Lottie to Portumville?" "Yes, I followed you. Do you know what you were doing there?" Joey's question left Matthew speechless. During that time, his mind had been a mess. The sudden appearance of a daughter meant he had to take on the responsibilities of being a father, but he couldn't let go of Willow.

Chapter 608

Theodore's expression looked conflicted as he said, "Willow, Matthew said the child got lost in Emperia, but you found her in Portumville. Don't you find that strange?"Willow was stunned for a moment. There were indeed a lot of things that didn't add up, but the events of the day had overwhelmed her, leaving little room for deep thought. It had all slipped her mind."I don't think Yasmine was lying," Theodore said.Theodore's response stunned Willow again. "What did you say?""Yasmine said her mom wasn't good to her," Theodore explained."That's impossible. Joey isn't like that. " Willow straightened up immediately. Willow had known Joey for years and was well aware of her temper. There was no way she would believe Joey would mistreat her daughter. It simply didn't make sense, especially since Yasmine was her biological child."Maybe it's resentment toward Matthew for being absent from their lives for so long," Theodore suggested."No, I still don't buy it. Joey would never d

Chapter 609

"Yeah. Look at how hard Yasmine is crying. Is it really necessary to send her back?" Penny also tried to comfort Yasmine.Willow was both frustrated and anxious. "Do you think I want to send her back? She has parents, and they were my friends for many years! If it were anyone else, maybe I'd have the nerve to ask if I could adopt her. But how could I even bring that up with them?"After Willow finished speaking, she turned her back to hide her tear-filled eyes from the others.Theodore gently pulled her into his arms and rubbed her back in an attempt to calm her down. "Let me call Mr. Evans to ask about this."Meanwhile, Yasmine was crying so hard she was nearly out of breath. It didn't seem right to send her back like this. Willow nodded in agreement.On the other end, Matthew had already prepared himself to bring Lottie home when he received Theodore's call."I see… Alright, let's not rush it then. Thanks for letting me know," Matthew said."It's no trouble at all. If you an

Chapter 610

"I can't really hold it against you, can I?" Willow smiled. "But you definitely owe me an explanation about keeping your child a secret and your situation with Matthew. We need to talk about it." "I promise to be completely honest," Joey replied, sharing a knowing smile with Willow. "Where's Lottie?" Joey peered inside the house but only spotted Penny, who was busy making tea. There was no one else in sight. "She's upstairs," Willow said. "I'll go check on her," Joey replied. "Please go ahead." Although Willow was reluctant, she knew that Joey was Lottie's mother, and she had the right to take her child home. In the upstairs bedroom, Jessica was playing with Lottie and her new doll. "This should go like this." "I like it this way." "I don't like that." Jessica and Lottie sat on the floor surrounded by toys and hair clips, playfully arguing like young children. The sound of a door opening interrupted them, followed by Joey's voice calling out, "Lottie." Lottie
