A Tale Of Redemption And Passion by Isidore Walsh (Chapters 341, to 350) – Daisy Novels

Chapter 341

“Mom, I’m not doing this for myself. I’m doing this for Sutton Group and for you guys. I’m afraid you’ll be deceived. If this Kate is fake, the real Kate would be in danger right now. She might be waiting for us to save her. Mom, plastic surgery techniques are good now. It can be someone’s trick. She may have had plastic surgery. After all, Kate has only been back for a year. It’s still very easy to replace her.”

Kyla continued, “By doing so, she could become Mr. Davidson’s wife and get the Sutton family at the same time. That’s a great temptation.”

Celia’s expression was still bad. She was still irate.

However, she heard what Kyla said.

She thought of how distant Kate had been toward her and her husband ever since they met. It was also very awkward. As a mother, she tried her best to integrate into Kate’s world, but Kate wouldn’t let her.

Kyla’s words were unpleasant to hear, but it wasn’t completely nonsense.

But the matter of Chris was abnormal. Kate used to be devoted to Chris. Celia had even complained to her husband about how humble Kate was in front of Chris.”

After Kate returned from the Davidson family for the first time, as Kyla said, she seemed like a different person.

She suddenly became close to Celia. At that time, Celia was very surprised.

Yet Kate’s attitude to Chris became cold.

All the signs told Celia that Kate could be a fake. The whole thing could have been a trap.

‘If she is not Kate. Is the real Kate still alive?’ As Celia thought about it, her face turned pale and her body swayed. She was afraid that her daughter would be killed.

“Mom.” Kyla quickly supported her. She knew that her plan had succeeded. She comforted Celia gently, “Mom, this is just my wild guess. Don’t take it seriously unless we get evidence to prove that this Kate is fake.”

Celia looked at her and asked, “How can we prove it? If she’s fake, she must have made a foolproof plan.”

“Mom, have you forgotten that you did a DNA test back then before swapping me with Kate.” Kyla reminded Celia and Mom that when Kate comes back, she should get some of her hair and do another test. Then we’ll know.”

Celia nodded. “You’re right. Even if she had plastic surgery, she can’t change her DNA. Kyla, keep this a secret for now. Don’t let Kate know. She will be sad if she knows we suspect her. After all, maybe you were just overthinking.” Celia took Kyla’s words seriously. She also wanted to do another DNA test with Kate but was worried that it was Kyla’s overthinking. That hurt Kate.

Kate had returned to the Sutton family, but her heart was still at the Garcia family. If she knew her mother doubted her, she might get mad and return to the Garcia family.

“Mom, I know. Don’t worry, I will keep it a secret. Kate won’t know.” Kyla had already confirmed that the current Kate was fake and didn’t want to alert her.

She was just waiting for Celia and Kate to do another paternity test. When she gets the results, she can chase Kate out of the Sutton family and even send her to jail. And she was sure that the Davidson family would not let Kate off easily either. They’d at least break Kate’s leg if not kill her.

“Mom, only the two of us know about this. Don’t tell Dad before the result comes out.” Kyla suggested.

Celia pursed her lips and said, “I understand.”

Kyla’s beautiful eyes flickered. She held Celia’s arm again and said, “Mom, let’s go downstairs for dinner.”

Kate did not know that Kyla had instigated Celia to do another paternity test with her. She brought her best friend to eat with Alfred and instructed her chauffeur, Liam, to send Xena back to the Phillips family. She was personally sent to the entrance of the etiquette school by Alfred.

“Honey, I’m going to class,” said Kate.

“Okay,” said Alfred.

“I’ll give you a kiss and get out of the car,” said Kate.

“Okay,” said Alfred.

Kate smiled and kissed Alfred on the cheek.

Just as she was about to get out of the car, Alfred said to her, “I’ll pick you up tonight.”

Knowing that he was worried that Elijah would pester her again, Kate did not refuse. She smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”

“Alright, go,” said Alfred.

Kate waved at him and turned to enter the school.

After Kate’s beautiful figure was out of sight, Alfred asked the driver to return to the Davidson residence.

*****

“Mr. Davidson.”

Alfred had just gotten out of the car and hadn’t even gotten into the wheelchair when he heard Harper’s respectful cry.

Alfred did not even look at her and calmly sat in the wheelchair.

Yael pushed him into the house.

“Mr. Davidson.” Harper took two steps forward and called out respectfully again.

“Speak, or get lost,” Alfred said coldly.

Harper almost fled. She barely managed to steady herself and did not dare to delay. She quickly said, “Mr. Davidson, your mother wants to see you. Please go over now.”

Alfred’s handsome face was tense, and his lips were pursed tightly.

The cold aura made Harper quietly take two steps back.

Olivia always sent her over to pass on the message, and therefore Alfred had a bad impression of her. But she was innocent.

After a long while, Alfred said coldly, “Okay.”

Harper heaved a sigh of relief when she received the reply, She then said respectfully, “Mr. Davidson, I’ll tell her now.”

With that, she took two steps back, turned around, and walked quickly towards the central main house.

Every time after delivered a message to Alfred, Harper felt like she had survived a calamity.

Although Alfred had become a little warmer after Kate moved in, Harper was still afraid of him.

Yael pushed Alfred into the house.

“Mr. Davidson, you’re back.”

James came out to welcome him and said with a smile,

They have just sent chowder over. Mr. Davidson, do you want to take it now?”

“Yeah,” Alfred replied indifferently.

Yael paused when he heard James’s words.

Soon, Alfred sat at the dining table. James scooped soup for him with a spoon.

“Yael.” Alfred suddenly called out to Yael who was about to leave.

Yael turned back and stood beside him, waiting respectfully for his instructions. Yet Alfred said mischievously, “There’s too much soup. I can’t finish it alone. You’ll have half of it.”

Yael was stunned.

Chapter 342

Yael quickly came back to his senses and said, “Mr. Davidson, this is your chowder. I don’t dare to share it.”

“It’s an order. I won’t blame you. James, go and get a bowl for Yael.” Alfred instructed James.

Yael panicked. “Mr. Davidson, I can’t drink it.”

He had heard James say that it was chowder. He was a normal man. He would definitely have a nosebleed if he had it.

“It’s for you, Mr. Davidson. I don’t dare to drink it either. Mr. Davidson, please let me go.” In order to prevent his nose from bleeding, Yael begged for mercy.

Alfred snorted. “What did you mean by saying that?”

“Nothing…” Yael stuttered. After a pause, he murmured in a low voice, “I was just very surprised. Why do you need the chowder? Would it make you…” He suddenly looked up at Alfred. His handsome face was filled with surprise as he asked in surprise, “Mr. Davidson, are you…’

James knocked on Yael’s head lightly and scolded him with a smile, “Brat, you are with Mr. Davidson every day. Don’t you even understand? Looks like you do need it. I’ll get a bowl for you.”

Yael touched the spot where James knocked him and said innocently, “I don’t have much experience.”

James was speechless.

“Mr. Davidson, I won’t disturb you for now.” Yael left happily after saying that. He was glad to know that Alfred could rely on something. And since the chowder helped, he thought Alfred should have it all.

“You escaped fast,” Alfred complained.

He looked at the chowder for a while before taking it.

The chef was an expert in cooking soup. The chowder did taste very nice.

Alfred had originally planned to take only half of it, afraid that his nose would bleed. However, the soup was delicious, so he had two bowls in a row.

James stood aside, watching Alfred have the soup. With a smile, he thought, ‘Drink more, so there will be more children in the house.’

After Alfred finished the soup, he asked Yael to push him to the main room.

To Alfred’s surprise, his grandma wasn’t in the main house. Only his dad was there.

“Dad.” Austin was very open-minded. Alfred had always respected him very much. Alfred’s cold face turned gentle in front of Austin. His gaze was not sharp or cold.

“Alfred.” Austin looked at his son lovingly.

Alfred was his eldest and favorite son. However, after Alfred turned one month old, he was taken away by his grandparents and raised by them. Even if they lived under the same roof, Austin had been too busy at work when he was young and had not spent much time with Alfred.

Alfred respected his grandparents the most.

Even if Alfred and Austin weren’t as close as normal father and son, Austin’s love for his eldest son had never changed. And Alfred respected Austin very much.

“Where’s my grandma?” Alfred asked.

“She went to Pet House with Renee,” said Austin.

Alfred nodded. Then he planned to leave, but Austin

stopped him. “Alfred, it’s been a long time since we’ve spent time together. Let’s take a walk and talk. I’ll push you out.”

Austin got up. Yael immediately stood aside and left the wheelchair for Austin.

Alfred didn’t refuse.

Austin and Alfred left the main house. Alfred told Yael that he did not need to follow them.

“How’s work these days?” Austin asked gently and caringly,” Take care. Don’t be sick. You are married now. Don’t let your wife be worried.”

“Dad, I know. I don’t feel tired because I don’t work in the night,” said Alfred.

He was efficient enough to settle all the things during working hours. And Lily never arranged anything on his schedule at night.

“The process of rehabilitation can be exhausting too. Just keep it up. You don’t need to be too harsh on yourself.” Austin knew that his son had been trying hard to be able to stand up again and walk with Kate in the garden.

“Dad, I want to have a wedding with Kate this year,” Alfred said lightly, “So I have to try harder.”

“Love is indeed a powerful thing.” Austin teased, “Ever since you were discharged from the hospital, your doctor, friends, and family, have all tried to persuade you to do rehabilitation, but you never cared. yet now you are doing it for Kate.”

Alfred was slightly embarrassed upon hearing that.

Austin continued, “However, I’m very happy to see that you’ve found your true love. I’m really happy for you. You’ve been cold since you were young. I’m always worried that you won’t be able to get a wife. I mean, a wife that you want.” Many women would want to marry Alfred if he wanted to get married.

“I guess it’s all about fate. Kate and I are made for each other.” Alfred was honest with his father.

He said, “Actually, I didn’t expect myself to like Kate either. When we registered our marriage, I wanted to be mean to her, hoping that she would leave me. Yet…” He only did it once.

Then, he saw her running to the bathroom non-stop and almost collapsing from the diarrhea. He felt sorry.

Everyone thought Alfred was a ruthless person. When he met Kate, he realized that he had a gentle side. He thought it was fate.

Austin smiled and said, “Love is just inexplicable.”

Then he asked, “Alfred.”

“Yes?”

“Did you take all the chowder?” asked Austin.

Alfred looked up at his father and teased, “Dad. Do you want some too? Am I expected to have a younger brother or so?”

“Come on. Don’t you think you’ve have enough brothers?” said Austin. “I’d wish to have another daughter though. But it’s impossible.”

Although Austin and his wife had always been in love. They were getting old. After having Cynthia, they hadn’t had much desire. And Austin didn’t want to try either, afraid it’d be another boy.

Alfred laughed out loud.

Austin also laughed.

Before they realized it, they returned to the entrance of Alfred’s room.

Austin did not push Aldred in. They just walked past the door. He glanced at the scenery in the courtyard and said, This place was too empty. It looks so much better now with those flowers there.”

“Kate likes flowers, so I asked James to buy some. At first, I hated it. But I’ve got used to it. The yard looks pretty good with those plants.”

Austin said gently, “You’re just too stubborn to try things

out.” Then he asked, “Alfred, how do you feel after having the chowder?”

“It’s delicious,” said Alfred.

Austin was speechless.

Chapter 343

“Dad, you’ll have a grandson,” Alfred suddenly said.

He knew that his parents would be surprised to know that he was taking chowder. And he wanted them to be.

He knew his grandmother had asked his father to test him and he was willing to give them a positive answer.

Austin was overjoyed, but he could still maintain his composure on the surface. He said, “I know I will. I have never been worried about that.”

After all, he had three sons.

Alfred smiled. “Dad, thank you.”

Austin was a very open-minded dad. Alfred believed that as long as Austin was willing to help, his mother would eventually change her attitude towards Kate.

Alfred didn’t dare to expect that his mother would treat Kate like she was her own daughter. He only hoped they would get along.

Kate was not an obedient woman.

“For what? I didn’t do anything,” said Austin.

“Dad, you helped me a lot. I know that,” said Alfred.

Austin smiled. “You’re my son. As a father, it’s natural for me to help my son as much as I can. There’s no need to thank me. It sounds distant.”

“Dad, please tell Grandma that I’d like to raise my children. I don’t like the idea of raising other people’s children, not even my nephew,” said Alfred.

He wanted his grandmother to know that he was very normal. And he also wanted her grandmother to stop putting pressure on Theo and Lucas, in case it’d affect their marriage once they got married.

Alfred once heard from his mother that they wanted Theo and Lucas to have more children and each sent one to Alfred, in case Alfred couldn’t be a father.

Although Theo and Lucas did not refuse on the surface, they didn’t think it was a good idea. No one would want to send their children to someone else.

Olivia’s decision would also seriously hinder Theo and

Lucas’s marriage. No woman would accept that their future child would be sent away.

Even Renee disagreed with Olivia’s words.

Austin smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely tell your grandma.”

He thought, ‘If he could have his own child then he won’t need to adopt his nephew.’

“Can you tell Grandma one more thing?” Alfred asked.

Austin nodded. “Tell me, I guarantee that I’ll tell your grandma every word you say. I can even imitate your tone perfectly.”

“Since I’ve married Kate, I’m going to spend the rest of my life with her. My heart is small. Other than Kate, there is no room for any other woman.”

Alfred knew that Olivia looked down on Kate, even if she saw that Kate could change him. Olivia wanted to kick Kate out of the Davidson family after Alfred changed and then find another girl for him.

“Grandma’s favorite grandchildren are me and Cynthia. I think Grandma wants me to be happy. I hope she won’t ruin my happiness. Perhaps Kate isn’t the best. I just want her. Without Kate, my world will be endlessly dark.”

In the dark, happiness made no sense.

Austin’s expression was serious. He knew better than Alfred how much the women in the family disliked Kate. Just his mother and wife were hard enough for Kate to handle.

“Alfred, I’ll have a good talk with your grandma and your mother,” said Austin,

“Thank you, Dad!” said Alfred.

“Again? I said don’t say thanks,” Austin said.

Alfred smiled.

They chatted as they walked.

After a while, they saw Lena and a few ladies in the backyard.

“Mom, ladies.” Alfred greeted indifferently.

“Alfred.” The few ladies smiled habitually in response to Alfred’s greeting. Lena also looked lovingly at her eldest son, whom she was proud of.

Every time she saw a few sisters-in-law fawning over Alfred, Lena felt proud.

“Austin, Lena, I still have something on. I’ll leave first.” Lisa quickly found an excuse to leave.

When the other ladies saw that Lisa had left, they quickly found an excuse to slip away, leaving the family of three alone.

“Dad, can you push me to the pavilion?” asked Alfred.

“Okay.” Austin pushed Alfred over.

Lena followed them.

After entering the pavilion, Alfred got up and sat on the bench. When he got up, his parents were very nervous and wanted to help him up. Yet without his consent, his parents’ outstretched hands stopped in the air.

When Alfred sat down steadily, he noticed the joy on his parents’ faces.

“Mom, sit,” said Alfred.

“Okay, I’ll sit.”

Like an obedient primary school student, Lena immediately sat down beside her son. Her well-maintained face was filled with smiles as he stared fixedly at her son.

Those who didn’t know better would think that she was a fan of Alfred.

“Alfred, what do you want to tell me?” Lena’s smile was gentle.

As a husband, Austin was a little jealous of his son when he saw Lena smile like this.

“Mom, my marriage with Kate will not change.” Ignoring his mother’s warm smile, Alfred’s expression was serious. He no longer had the relaxed and natural expression he had when he was chatting with his father.

Lena’s smile slowly faded.

“I’ve said it many times too. I don’t want to mention it repeatedly. When I can walk normally, I’ll hold a wedding with Kate. I’ll give her what she deserves. I won’t let her suffer anything,” said Alfred.

Lena’s face tightened. If her husband hadn’t been behind her, pressing his hand to her shoulder, she would have exploded.

“Mom, it’s time for you and Dad to meet my in-laws.” When Alfred said this, his tone became much gentler. “Mom, I know you’re dissatisfied with Kate. That’s because you haven’t realized how good Kate is. If you can get along with Kate calmly, you’ll see. In your eyes, no matter how good she is, she’s not worthy of you.”

Lena said in disdain, “I just don’t want to see Mr. and Mrs. Sutton.” Her tone changed to sarcasm. “Wait, did they make things difficult for you?”

Although Lena did not have a job, she had her own sources. She knew that many people were discussing privately. They said that the Davidson family had yet to express their stance because they were dissatisfied with Alfred and Kate’s marriage. The marriage between the two of them would definitely change.

Kate was from the Sutton family. Yet she grew up in the countryside. It was very difficult for her to be accepted as Mrs. Davidson.

“Mom, I don’t know how to say nice things. I’m a bossy person. I’m used to giving orders, and I was always mean to you. I am sorry, Mom.” Alfred stood up and bowed sincerely to his mother.

Lena looked at her son in shock.

Chapter 344

“Mom, I like Kate. I’ve never regretted marrying her. I feel relaxed and happy being with her. I also know that you love me and want me to be happy. Mom, Kate is my happiness.”

Lena looked at her son who was apologizing to her. His expression was gentle, but his tone was firm when he spoke. He said that Kate was his happiness and separating him and Kate was destroying his happiness.

As a mother, Lena didn’t want to destroy her son’s happiness. Lena felt a bit upset.

Of course, she hoped that her children would be happy. However, in the face of a daughter-in-law that she did not like and looked down on, Lena felt her life difficult.

“Alfred…” Lena took a long time to speak. Her voice was trembling.

She called out to her son and didn’t continue. She didn’t know what to say or what to say.

She knew that saying bad things about Kate would further incite the conflict between Alfred and her. Yet she couldn’t say nice things that went against her wish.

Austin patted Alfred’s shoulder and said gently, “Alfred, it’s time for your rehabilitation. I’ll get Yael to push you back.” “Okay,” Alfred replied gently. He knew that it was better for his father and mother to talk about some things. After all, he was a son.

Yael quickly pushed Alfred out of the pavilion.

Looking at Alfred walking away, Austin asked his wife,” Wifey, do you like to see your son walk with his back straight, or sit and be pushed?”

“Is that even a question? Of course, I want him to walk with his back straight. I was sadder than him knowing that he couldn’t walk anymore after the accident. I cried many times.”

Especially when Alfred became even more heartless, Lena felt sorry for him.

“Alfred is trying very hard on rehabilitation now. He hopes to have a wedding within this year. He doesn’t want to be in a wheelchair by then. Honey, Kate has a huge impact on Alfred. You can see that it’s all developing in a good direction.”

Lena pursed her lips and said, “What did you guys discuss about just now? Did he ask you to persuade me?”

“He didn’t. I just think that when the children grow up, as parents, we shouldn’t hold them firmly in our hands. We should let go completely and let them do whatever they want and marry whoever they want. Alfred has never been under my control. We couldn’t control him when he was young. Not to mention now.”

Lena pursed her lips and said, “I wasn’t trying to control him. I just revealed my preferences. I can’t force him to like someone.”

She then said to her husband, “You don’t have to put in a good word for Kate. Even if she is good, I just don’t like her.” After a pause, she said, “I’ve already been very tolerant. I hired a private detective to follow her for only a day and found that she was entangled with Elijah. I didn’t settle the score with her. I’ve been tolerating all of this. I can’t tolerate everything as a mother-in-law. She’s not a good daughter-in-law. She leaves early and returns late every day. She doesn’t even come to greet me. She doesn’t take action. Why should I please her? She’s not the only daughter-in-law I have.”

Austin smiled and said, “Yes, yes, yes. Kate made mistakes too. But she is indeed busy. She rarely even has time to go back to her parent’s house. She has to take care of our son. Since we’re idle at home, let’s be more tolerant of her. In the past, when I was busy, we couldn’t see each other much for half a month during days.”

Lena said angrily, “I was just a little picky and you guys are feeling so sorry for her.”

“It’s the truth,” said Austin.

“I know it’s the truth. If she is a good wife, she should have stayed at home obedient. She could have lived a good life, with everything she needed, but she insisted on going to work and managing the company. Isn’t she asking for trouble?” said Lena.

“Everyone has their own ambitions. Besides, Kate is the only child of her parents. If Kate doesn’t work hard, how can he keep the Sutton family?” Austin had been defending his daughter-in-law. “Don’t tell me you want to see the Sutton family be inherited by Kyla?”

Lena immediately said, “Kate is the Sutton family’s biological child. Only she has the right to inherit the family assets. Kyla has occupied Kate’s resources for so many years. She should be content. Does she want to share the assets? That’s shameless.”

Although Lena didn’t like Kate, she wouldn’t let others bully her.

Austin smiled. “That’s right. Since Kate wants to inherit the family assets, she has to work hard, or she won’t be able to protect the Sutton family’s billions of assets from Kyla. Therefore, we have to understand Kate.”

Lena fell silent.

“It’s time for us to meet our in-laws. If this drags on, it will confirm the guesses of those people and affect the relationship between our son and his wife. Alfred is a cold person. It’s rare for him to like a woman. Even if we don’t support him, we can’t ruin it.” Austin suggested.

Lena was speechless.

“Honey, if you want to see your in-laws, I’ll call Leland and ask when they are available. No, I think to express our sincerity, we should the Sutton family personally.” Austin suggested.

Lena looked at her husband and said angrily, “Did Alfred apologize to me for this? You’re always on his side and using my pettiness to show your generosity.”

“Honey, what are you talking about? I’m doing this for our son’s sake, okay? You always think that Kate isn’t worthy of our son. Yet Alfred doesn’t think so. And it’s their life, not ours.” Austin said.

Lena was speechless.

“If we don’t interact with our in-laws, Kate made let the child have her surname because you don’t acknowledge her as your daughter-in-law.”

“She won’t dare,” said Lena. She then immediately woke up and asked Austin happily, “Have you confirmed it?”

Austin smiled. “He is very normal. Let’s just wait to have a grandson.”

“I don’t want to have a grandson. I want to have a granddaughter. Do you remember Mrs. Johnson? I often play board games with her. Her daughter-in-law had a daughter not long ago. She’s extremely cute. Mrs. Johnson doesn’t have time to be with us anymore. She talks about her granddaughter every day.”

The Davidson family preferred girls.

“Austin, go tell your son that if their first child is a girl, I’ll accept Kate as my daughter-in-law.”

Chapter 345

Austin said, “Honey, this… this is a little too much. They can’t decide the gender of the baby. There is only half chance that they’d have a girl. But it’s harder to have a girl in our family. The chance is probably 1%. There hasn’t been a girl for 5 generations until Cynthia was born.”

Austin felt immense pressure for his son and daughter-in-law.

He remembered how he and his brothers had been forced by their parents to have a daughter.

The five brothers each had three sons. Every time they had a son, their mother’s face would look unhappy. People said that the Davidson family would never have a daughter. Cynthia was the only daughter they had for generations. Austin’s heart ached for his son when he thought of this. “I don’t care. Anyway, if Kate can’t have a daughter, I will never accept her.” Lena suddenly felt that this demand was better than giving Kate a hard time.

Austin was speechless.

“Let’s make a trip to the Sutton family tomorrow. Call your good in-law now and tell him that we’ll go over tomorrow. I don’t want us to miss out.”

Having found a new way to make things difficult for Kate, Lena felt good and didn’t mind visiting the Sutton family. “Okay.” After successfully persuading his wife, Austin was very satisfied. As for Lena’s request, it was not his thing to concern.

*****

“Honey.” Kate walked out of the etiquette school. When she saw the familiar man leaning against the car, she smiled and jogged over.

Alfred took two steps forward. When she was close, he tapped her nose lightly. “You’re wearing high heels. Don’t run so fast. My heart will ache if you twist your ankle.”

“It’s okay. Now I’m used to high heels,” said Kate. “Hubby, why are you standing here? Are you tired?” Kate asked with concern as she helped him into the car.

“I got out of the car for like two minutes ago before you came out,” Alfred said.

“I am just worried about you,” said Kate.

“You are so sweet.” Alfred felt melted.

The couple got into the car. The car started slowly.

Alfred handed a box of snacks to Kate.

“I packed some food from the kitchen, in case you got hungry. Try it. We’ll have supper when we get home.”

Kate hugged his neck and kissed him on the cheek. Then, she happily took the box of snacks and said happily, “My husband is getting more and more considerate.”

Alfred could not help but laugh. His gentle and affectionate gaze landed on her. He was content to watch her eat with relish.

“Kate,” Alfred called out.

“Yes?” Kate replied.

“My parents are going to visit your family tomorrow. Do you want to take tomorrow off?” said Alfred.

Kate stopped eating and tilted her head to Alfred. She felt that her man was too handsome and it would be a waste not to do something. Hence, Kate mischievously poked Alfred’s lips. This provoked Alfred to the point that he almost couldn’t control himself and wanted to do her on the spot. He had a lot of chowder tonight.

“I don’t need to take a day off. My dad will give me a day off..

As she spoke, Kate’s phone rang.

She took out her phone from her bag. When she saw the

caller ID, she proudly showed it to Alfred and smiled. “I knew it.”

Alfred nodded seriously. “Amazing. You should be a fortune-teller.”

Kate pretended to be serious and said, “Good idea. I’ll try someday.”

When she finished speaking, Alfred gently pinched her earlobe.

She flinched.

“Dad,” Kate answered Leland’s call.

“Kate, your mother just called me. She said that your in-laws are coming to our house tomorrow. You have to be present. Tomorrow, you have a day off. Come home early.” Leland valued the first meeting between the elders of the two families. He had already informed Claire to cancel all his schedules for tomorrow.

“Dad, I understand. I’ll go back early tomorrow,” Kate said.

“Well, haven’t you gone home yet?” Leland asked.

“On my way home,” Kate said.

Leland reminded, “Be careful. Don’t drive too fast.”

Kate said, “Dad, I can’t even touch the steering wheel now.”

She could only drive in a dream.

Leland said, “Oh, I forgot that Alfred caught you racing. You’re not allowed to drive anymore. Who asked you to race? Alfred is just worried about you. It’s for your own good. Anyway, since he arranged for a driver to pick you up from work, don’t touch the steering wheel.”

Kate knew that her parents were on Alfred’s side.

She had only raced twice, or maybe three times. After being caught by Alfred twice, she was deprived of the opportunity to drive.

Even her car suffered. The tires had been removed by Alfred.

“Did Alfred pick you up?” asked Leland.

“Do you want to talk to him?” asked Kate.

“No, I’m just asking. Since he is with you, I won’t disturb you guys. Rest early when you get home,” said Leland.

“Oh,” Kate replied.

Leland hung up.

“Do you want to drive so badly?” Alfred’s deep voice came from beside her.

Kate nodded instinctively. Then, she shook his head and said with a cheeky smile, “Not really. But of course, I prefer to drive by myself.”

“It’s too late to buy a car now. I’ll give you a new car at noon tomorrow,” said Alfred.

Kate’s eyes lit up and she was overjoyed. “Hubby, do you mean it?”

“When have I ever lied to you?”

“Hubby, you’re too good to me. You’ll spoil me. However, I like the feeling. I’m so happy.”

Alfred could not help but laugh as he pulled Kate into his arms. He thought evilly, ‘I hope you won’t be disappointed when you see the new car tomorrow afternoon.’

“Honey, what kind of car are you going to give me?” asked Kate.

“It’s the most expensive car of its type,” said Alfred.

“Is it fast?” asked Kate.

Alfred replied mysteriously, “That depends on your driving skills.”

Kate almost said that she could drive a car like a plane. She remembered that Alfred hated to see her race, so she changed her words and said, “Mr. Davidson, actually, I drive very steadily. The two times you saw me, it was really a coincidence.”

“Although the car I gave you is relatively safe, you can’t go too fast. You won’t want any accident to happen,” said Alfred.

Kate promised repeatedly, “Don’t worry. I will not.”

‘Could it be a sports car?’ Kate began to look forward to the new car that Alfred had prepared for her.

Chapter 346

At the Davidson family, a fragrance wafted out of a house with a small courtyard. Theo was making supper.

As the manager of Cheval Blanc and a top chef, even if he casually stir-fried vegetables, they would be popular among the customers.

Braiden and Lucas lived on the left and right sides of Theo. They were the closest and were the first to smell this fragrance.

Braiden walked to the balcony from his room and looked at Theo’s courtyard. He shouted, “Theo, you’re releasing poison late at night again.”

There was no response.

Braiden felt that his voice was not loud enough and turned around to return to his room.

Soon, Braiden, who had already changed his clothes, went out with his phone. A few minutes later, he appeared in the hall next door.

Lucas was already there.

“Lucas, are you also here to punish Theo for releasing poison in the middle of the night?” Braiden said seriously,” He’s not resting in the middle of the night, and he cooked something that smells so good. We need to punish him.

In the end, his expression changed. He asked Lucas with a smile, “What delicious food is Theo cooking?”

“You’ll know when you go in. It’s quite sumptuous. There is a large pot of spicy lobster tail. I don’t like lobster. Yet I want to try.”

Lucas held Lucas’s arm affectionately. “Lucas, let’s go. Let’s go in and hunt Theo’s lobsters.”

“Alright, let’s take all his lobster.”

The two brothers were clearly tempted by the dishes cooked by Theo and planned to freeload.

Theo already knew what was going on in the living room.

When the brothers came in, he had already finished cooking and was taking off his apron.

“Lucas, don’t you want us to sleep? It’s so late at night.” Braiden spoke first.

Lucas then said, “That’s right, that’s right. I’ve gained two pounds recently. I need to cut down on socializing and supper, but because of you, I’ve been gaining weight.” Although he was complaining, his hands moved very quickly to the large pot of spicy lobster tail.

He usually did not like to eat lobsters. However, it was Theo who made it. Even if he gained ten pounds, he would have to have some before going to bed.

“My hands are itchy and I can’t sleep, so I made a few dishes. If you want to eat, bring them out. I didn’t say I wouldn’t share.” Theo was very satisfied with his two younger brothers’ reactions.

They lived so close to him, that it would be a failure if they weren’t attracted by the fragrance.

Braiden and Lucas immediately brought out the cooked dishes. They wanted to place them on the dining table in the dining room, but Theo asked them to bring all the dishes to the hall.

The brothers looked at each other and suddenly understood. Theo deliberately cooked to lure a certain guest who stayed with them lately.

Yes, Lindsay loved spicy lobster tails.

The two brothers understood and brought out a few dishes and placed them on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Then, they each brought a low stool and sat around the coffee table.

Theo also brought two bottles of wine.

“I have to work tomorrow. If I get drunk and can’t get up, I’ll have to work overtime for the next few days.” Braiden did not want to drink and neither did Lucas.

“I don’t have that much work. I’ll drink.” Theo was not as busy as them, but he was not afraid of getting drunk and not getting up. At most, he would not return to the hotel tomorrow.

He poured himself a glass of wine. Watching his two younger brothers eat with relish. He couldn’t help but cough lightly.

When his brother looked over, he pouted upstairs. “Theo, the spicy lobster tail you made is really delicious.”

“That’s right. Even someone like me who doesn’t like lobster drools. It’s really delicious. Only a level-one chef from Cheval Blanc could cook something so delicious. Oh, no, I mean, the general manager.” Braiden and Lucas praised loudly as they ate.

The room was already filled with fragrance. Even they could attract, not to mention, Lindsay, who was upstairs.

Lindsay was still awake. She lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. What her grandmother said had affected her sleep.

Olivia told her directly that after Theo and Lucas got married, they would have to send one child to Alfred.

Lindsay was sure about Theo.

She was annoyed when she thought about how she had to accept Olivia’s request and pass a child to Alfred.

No mother would want to give her own child to someone else.

Even though the child would still live in the Davidson residence, the way they addressed each other would be different.

The child she gave birth to after 10 months of pregnancy had to call Alfred and Kate as father and mother… Just the thought of it made Lindsay’s heartache.

What Olivia meant was that if she could not agree to this request, she might not be able to marry Theo.

In the Davidson residence, Olivia had the utmost power. Only Alfred dared to reject her. The others were all afraid of her.

‘It smelled so good.’ Lindsay, who was tossing and turning in bed, could not help but sigh in her heart when she smelled the fragrance.

She picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was eleven o’clock at night. It was time for Kate to return every night. ‘Did the kitchen prepare supper for Kate? It was time for Kate to return every night. ‘Did the kitchen prepare supper for Kate? Or…’

Thinking of a possibility, Lindsay immediately got out of bed.

Since she couldn’t sleep anyway, she might as well go downstairs and take a look.

If Theo released the poison in the middle of the night, she would definitely help him detoxify it.

The moment he stepped out of the room, the fragrance intensified.

She also heard Braiden and Lucas downstairs praising Theo’s culinary skills.

As expected, Theo cooked.

‘He cooked only at midnight. He doesn’t want me to sleep. Lindsay thought.

“Spicy, spicy…” Lucas exclaimed as he ate.

He couldn’t eat spicy food. However, he could not resist the temptation of the spicy lobster tail.

The main kitchen strictly followed the recipes arranged by the nutritionist. There won’t be these home-cooked dishes on the table. He could only try it at Theo’s place.

Therefore, Lucas kept eating while sticking out his tongue from the spiciness.

“Hey, you guys. Why didn’t you call me? That’s not cool.” Hearing that there was a spicy lobster tail, Lindsay ran downstairs.

She naturally sat down beside Theo.

Theo duly handed her a pair of disposable gloves. “Wine?”

“Nope.” Lindsay put on disposable gloves and began to eat. She ignored the scheming smile of Theo beside her.

Chapter 347

“That’s great.”

After finishing a large pot of spicy lobster tails, Lindsay took off her disposable gloves and said, “I’ve missed this taste for a long time. I feel like there is something missing when I have it at the restaurant.”

Braiden said, “Lindsay, your appetite must have been affected by Theo, so you feel that the food others cook lacks something.”

Lucas said, “No one cooks better than Theo.”

Lindsay looked at Theo with a smile and said, “Theo, the

next time your hands are itchy and you want to make spicy lobster tails, you must ask me for help. No matter when, I’m always on call.”

The two brothers quickly expressed their stance. “We’re happy to help too.”

Theo put down the wine glass that he had finished drinking and deliberately said angrily, “Go back to sleep if you are done. Don’t you know what time it is? You have to work tomorrow.”

“I never sleep before midnight,” said Lucas.

“Me too,” said Braiden

The brothers wanted to see Theo and Lindsay bicker.

Theo said coldly, “Do you want me to cook breakfast for you tomorrow?”

The brothers were speechless.

Braiden immediately yawned. As he yawned, he stood up and said, “Theo, I’m tired. I’ll go back and rest first. Remember to prepare a steak for me for breakfast tomorrow.” “Lindsay, good night.”

Braiden said goodnight to Lindsay and quickly slipped away.

Lucas glared at his third brother and scolded him in his heart for surrendering so quickly. However, when he thought of Theo’s culinary skills, he smacked his lips and stood up. “I remember now. I still have an early meeting tomorrow. I have to get up early and go back to sleep first. Theo, cook me a steak to tomorrow.”

After Braiden and Lucas left, there were only Theo and Lindsay in the hall.

“Are you full?” Theo asked Lindsay.

Lindsay smiled with a satisfied expression. “I’m almost full. The spicy lobster tail you made tastes even better than before.”

“Actually, I haven’t done it in a long time.” Theo said as he cleaned up the table, “If you like it, I’ll make it for you another day when I’m free. Only for you.”

“Really? Thank you in advance.” Lindsay leaned back on the sofa and watched as Theo cleared the table and cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen.

Suddenly, she said to the kitchen, “Theo, you’re a good man. Whoever marries you in the future will definitely be very happy.”

Theo’s voice floated out from the kitchen. “I’ve always been a good man. If I get to choose my wife, I’ll definitely make her happy for the rest of her life.”

If it was a family marriage, he would treat his wife with respect and would not care if she was happy. However, he would definitely not be happy either.

“Do you have a woman you like?” Lindsay asked.

The two of them were childhood sweethearts, but neither of them confessed to the other.

Lindsay knew that she loved Theo, but she did not know if Theo also loved her.

When she first returned to the country, she knew that Olivia had arranged for Theo to pick her up. Theo rejected, and in the end, Braiden picked her up, even if she had only changed planes at Sherpsel.

She followed her grandmother to Sherpsel and moved into Theo’s house, but she did not see Theo until she followed,

Alfred and Kate to the equestrian resort for a vacation.

Theo deliberately avoided her.

That was true because they were not only childhood sweethearts, but also archenemies.

Theo had always been defeated by her. It was normal for him to avoid her.

“If I had someone I like, the media in Sherpsel would have already reported it,” Theo replied.

Lindsay thought about it and agreed.

In Sherpsel, Davidson’s family could always become news.

The love story of the Davidson family’s 15 sons was destined to be the center of attention in the entire city. Anyone who got close to them could become the headline. But there had never been any rumors about Theo.

“Theo, let me ask you a question.”

Lindsay thought of the matter that her grandmother had told her about.

“I’m in a good mood tonight. Ask me whatever questions you want. I’ll answer everything I can.”

Theo did not admit that he had sensed that Lindsay was in a bad mood tonight. That was why he personally cooked to appease her.

“That day, I heard your grandma and my grandma talking about something. Your grandma said that when you and Lucas get married and have children in the future, you have to send a child to your elder brother. Is that true?”

Theo did not answer her.

Lindsay waited for a while, but there was no answer. She felt a little uncomfortable. ‘Theo didn’t answer. Did he acquiesce to Olivia’s arrangement?’

Alfred was important in the Davidson family. His more than ten younger brothers respected him and felt sorry for him after knowing he could not have children anymore.

Even though they were to send a child for him, they still lived together. So except the way they address each other, nothing would change.

However, Lindsay found this hard to accept.

“Theo, don’t you think your grandmother’s request is a little too much? Is your brother really infertile? Has he seen a doctor? If there’s really no way to treat him. Why doesn’t he adopt some children from the orphanage?”

Lindsay thought that if she was infertile, she would go to the welfare home to adopt a child instead of taking her brothers’ child unless her brothers offered it.

Theo still did not answer her.

Lindsay could not help but get up and walk over.

Theo happened to be coming out. The two of them met at the kitchen door and faced each other.

Theo suddenly took out a packet of tissues and helped Lindsay wipe the oil stains on her mouth.

Lindsay nonchalantly snatched the tissue from his hand.

“Theo, do you agree with your grandmother’s arrangement?” “Do you mind?” Theo asked.

Lindsay was speechless.

“You have a blind date, and it isn’t me. So you don’t have to worry. Even if my grandmother’s arrangement is not reasonable. It won’t be your child anyway.”

Lindsay was speechless. ‘What a bastard!’

“I really feel sorry for your future wife. She’s not even married yet, but her child has been booked.”

“I’ll tell her before we get married. And she doesn’t have to marry me if she can’t accept it. I believe many women would be glad to accept it,” said Theo.

Lindsay was speechless.

Chapter 348

“You’d better stay single for the rest of your life. Leave girls alone.” Lindsay said and turned to leave.

Theo looked at her angry expression and asked with a smile, “Is this why you’re suddenly in a bad mood tonight?” Lindsay stopped in her tracks.

She turned to look at him. “How do you know I’m in a bad mood?”

“I had a peaceful night,” said Theo.

When she was in a good mood, she liked to target him.

Lindsay asked, “What are you saying…”

“Chili, you’re so concerned about this matter. Is it because I’m the man you want to marry?”

“Don’t flatter yourself.” Lindsay refused to admit it.

Theo chuckled softly. “My sister-in-law said the same thing to my brother. Do you know what my brother did? He gave her a lot of gold and jewelry and asked her to wear them. Do you want to do that too?”

“You’re a man. Why do you need that? Are you short of money?” Lindsay said angrily.

“I’ll keep it for my daughter.”

“Funny!” Lindsay laughed. “Can you have a daughter? The Davidsons will only have sons.”

Theo choked. ‘Yes. That’s true. In the past five generations, there were no girls in the family. Cynthia was the first girl.

No one knew if they would have a daughter.

“Lindsay, do you really mind about sending the child away? If… I mean if you were to marry me, would you refuse because of this request?” Theo asked.

“I-I don’t know either, but I really mind. I can’t bear to part with the children I gave birth to after 10 months of pregnancy, and watch them call others Mom and Dad, even if that other person is your brother.”

Theo looked at her quietly for a moment and smiled. “Oh, I understand.”

Lindsay glared at him.

“My brother took chowder tonight,” Theo said.

“You made it? When? Why didn’t I know about it?” When Lindsay heard about the soup, her eyes lit up. She did not even think about what it was for. She was regretting that she didn’t get to try.

Her gluttonous look made Theo laugh. He teased her, “You are just like my sister-in-law. She is also a glutton.”

“The chef cooked chowder for Alfred. It’s not suitable for you.”

“Chowder, why am I… Mr. Davidson took chowder? Would it help?”

Theo smiled and said, “My big brother never does anything that he’s not sure about.”

Lindsay was relieved.

It turned out that Alfred could still have children.

“Rumors are just rumors.”

Theo pressed his index finger on Lindsay’s forehead. “You’re such a smart person. You shouldn’t believe everything people say.”

Lindsay suddenly understood why Alfred took chowder.

This family was all smart people. Ordinary people could not keep up with their thoughts.

She slapped away Theo’s hand that was pressing on her forehead. Lindsay said, “I’m going to sleep. Prepare a steak for me too tomorrow.”

Then, she went upstairs happily.

It was time to have a good dream about Duke Zhou.

Looking at how happy she was, Theo smiled slyly. ‘Why wouldn’t she admit that she is madly in love with me? Everybody knows it.’

She couldn’t tell his feelings towards her but all his brothers could.

*****

After being tortured a few times, Kate was too tired to move.

Alfred, who had transformed into a hungry wolf, was satisfied. Seeing that her mouth was moving, Alfred pulled her into his arms and hugged her gently, letting her sleep on his arm.

“Honey, what did you say?” Alfred’s voice was low and gentle.

He could actually have another round. Yet seeing she was exhausted, he controlled himself.

Kate didn’t even want to open her eyes.

“From now on… you’re not allowed to have chowder,” she said through gritted teeth with her eyes closed.

Alfred planted countless kisses on her face and said with heartache, “Okay, it’s my fault tonight. Honey, do you want to take a hot bath? It’ll make you feel better.”

Seeing that Kate did not even want to open her eyes, he said considerately, “Go on sleeping. I’ll take care of you.” Kate mumbled something and soon fell asleep.

Alfred got up and went into the bathroom to fill the bathtub. Then he came out again, picked Kate up, and slowly entered the bathroom.

Fortunately, he had been working hard on rehabilitation recently so he could take good care of Kate.

After coming out of the bathroom, Kate was still asleep. Alfred lay beside her and looked at her sleeping face gently.

He couldn’t help but whisper in her ear, “Kate, I’m getting more and more addicted to you.”

He touched her face gently, her eyes, her nose, and finally her lips.

He poked her gently and said softly, “Good night. Sweet dreams.”

Kate was in a deep sleep and she did not hear a single word he said.

Alfred looked at her for a while and remembered something. He took his phone and called James. After James answered the call, he instructed in a low voice,” James, arrange for two cars to go to the Garcia Village. Bring Kate’s adoptive parents and two brothers over and send them to the Sutton family.”

Tomorrow, his parents were going to the Sutton family to meet his in-laws. The Garcia family had raised Kate for 25 years. In Kate’s heart, they were family. So Anna should be there too. He believed that Kate would be very happy to see that Anna.

“Okay.” James did not ask further.

After hanging up the phone, Alfred hugged Kate and fell asleep.

The next day, Kate didn’t even want to get up. She was awake, but her waist was sore and her legs were weak.

“Honey, you’re awake.” Alfred’s gentle voice came from beside her.

Kate tilted her head to look at him. When she met his overly handsome face, she could not bring herself to complain In the end, she could only grab his hand and bite his arm.

“Ouch.” Alfred deliberately cried out in pain.

Kate immediately relented.

Seeing the two rows of deep teeth marks on his arm, she

said to him again, “Why didn’t you dodge?”

“I can still bear this pain,” Alfred said.

“Then why did you scream? Were you deliberately making me feel sorry?”

Kate kicked Alfred. “I really want to kick you off the bed. I’m so tired! Alfred, I’m warning you. If you dare to take chowder again, you’ll take an ice bath. You’re not allowed to touch me.”

Chapter 349

“Yes, yes, yes. I am sorry. Honey, please forgive me.” Alfred knew that Kate was exhausted and apologized profusely. “What time is it?” After Kate vented her anger, she felt better. She understood Alfred’s intention.

“It’s still early. It’s only seven o’clock,” Alfred said.

“What time will your parents go?” Kate asked.

Alfred thought for a moment and said, “After nine-thirty, I guess. Honey, you can sleep a little longer, until nine o’clock. I’ll get Liam to send you back.”

Kate wished, but her mother called.

After gesturing for Alfred to remain silent, Kate answered the call.

“Kate, come back early. Although you and Mr. Davidson have married you haven’t held a wedding yet. You’d better come back before his parents. When you are back, I’ll help you dress up and put on makeup. You should really wear makeup more often.”

Celia attached great importance to the meeting with Alfred’s parents. Knowing Kate’s shortcomings, Celia called early in the morning to remind Kate.

Kate said, “Mom, I understand. I’ll get up right away and go back.”

Her parents were even more impatient than her.

Actually, Kate had already learned how to put on makeup. She would put on light makeup on important occasions At home, she didn’t. Alfred found her beautiful anyway. After ending the call, Kate said helplessly to Alfred, “My parents are even more anxious than me.” She poked Alfred’s chest. “You’ve really hurt me.”

Alfred looked apologetic and took the initiative to help her get her clothes.

“I asked James to prepare chowder for you. Have some before you leave,” Alfred said.

“Okay. Are you going with your parents?” Kate asked.

Alfred said dotingly, “I don’t mind. I can go with you too if you prefer. I’ll do whatever you want me to do. In our family, you have the final say.”

His fawning manner made Kate happy. Although her waist was still a little sore and her legs were still a little weak, it did not affect her going out normally.

“You should go with your parents,” Kate said.

Alfred was quite disappointed. “I’ll miss you crazily if I have to be separated from you for two to three hours.”

“You usually work at the company while I stay at mine. Why didn’t you miss me then?” Kate asked.

Alfred was speechless.

Kate pinched his mouth. “Men are liars.”

Alfred was speechless.

After the couple chatted for a while, Kate drank the soup and walked out of the main house with Alfred. Then, under Alfred’s gaze, she got into her private car and went back home first to wait for her in-laws.

When Kate returned to the Sutton family, it was eight in the morning.

“Kate.”

Before Kate got out of the car, she saw a familiar figure coming out of the house to welcome her. Kate was surprised and happy. She quickly got out of the car and walked over quickly. “Mom, what are you doing here?” It was Anna.

“Mom, have you recovered?” Kate held Anna and asked with concern.

“I’m fine as long as I don’t do heavy work.” Anna smiled brightly. She did not expect Alfred to arrange for someone to pick them up overnight.

Kate returned to her parents. The Sutton family was wealthy, and the Davidson family was even more prestigious. The Garcia family was nothing compared to them.

However, Alfred respected them. Anna’s impression of Alfred became even better.

“Mom, don’t do any heavy work. It’s time to enjoy life. Tell me if you need money, I’ll send it to you,” said Kate.

“You transfer money to me every month. I can’t spend all that money. I’ll save it for your wedding gift,” said Anna. Kate was touched. “Mom, I don’t lack those.”

Both her parents and Alfred would prepare big gifts for her.

“I know you don’t lack it, but I want to do it.”

Anna held Kate’s hand and looked left and right. She said with heartache, “Kate, you must have been skipping meals when you’re busy. You’ve already lost weight. You have to eat and sleep well. Nothing is more important than that.” “Mom, I didn’t skip any meals. I even think I’ve gained a lot of weight.”

There was no way she’d lose weight when she was with Alfred.

Mothers always found their children losing weight although they didn’t.

“Mr. Davidson arranged for someone to pick us up last. night. Your father and your two brothers are here too. Mr. Davidson said today is an important day for the families to meet. Kate, Mr. Davidson is really considerate.” Anna sighed.

‘What a surprise!’ Kate muttered in a low voice. Anna did not hear it clearly.

Alfred was sincere. He showed his love through every detail. Kate now understood why so many loved him, including her. No one could resist his love.

“Mom, let’s go in.” Kate helped Anna into the house.

However, when they reached the door, Anna quickly

removed Kate’s hand. Kate knew that she was afraid that Celia would be unhappy.

Kyla did not return to the company today either.

“Dad,” Kate called out.

The two fathers who were chatting on the sofa answered her at the same time.

Leland and Faulkner looked at each other and smiled.

Celia worried that Kate and the Garcia family’s relationship would affect their relationship. But Leland Sutton was much more open-minded. No matter what, the Garcia family had raised Kate up.

They were reluctant to leave Kyla, so he assumed the Garcia family would feel the same about Kate.

The Garcia family had been treating Kate really well. Although they were not as wealthy as the Sutton family, it wasn’t their fault. Leland was very grateful for that. Not all families could be as rich as the Sutton family.

“Mom,” Kate called out to Celia. Afraid that Celia would not like Anna going out to welcome her, she went forward and held Celia’s arm. She said coquettishly, “Mom, I haven’t seen you for two days. I missed you so much.”

That worked.

Celia immediately smiled and tapped Kate on the forehead lightly. “You’re such a sweet girl. If you miss me, you can come back anytime. Or just tell me. I will go to your company to visit you.” She then touched Kate’s face. “You must have been very busy recently. Look, you’ve lost weight. Have you not eaten properly?”

Kate thought to herself, ‘Moms are the same.’ They always thought that their children didn’t eat well once they didn’t see their children for some time.

Robert was an honest man. He said, “Do you all think Kate has lost weight? But I feel like she has gained weight.”

Chapter 350

“Robert, have I gained weight?” Kate quickly touched her face and asked Ryan, “Brother, did I gain weight?”

Ryan glared at his younger brother and calmly said to Kate, Nope. You’re still as slim as ever. Robert hasn’t seen you for a long time. You were probably thinner before.

“Robert hasn’t seen me for a long time. Yes”

Kate felt that Ryan’s words made sense, but she still said, ” From now on, I have to work out every morning.”

Alfred’s gym was huge. She had never used it before. Robert smiled sheepishly. “You’re a little fatter than before.” Celia and Leland were glad to hear that. It meant that Kate’s life had been better since she returned.

“You guys chat first. I’ll bring Kate upstairs to change her clothes and help her put on makeup.” Celia pulled Kate upstairs.

As she walked, she said to her daughter, “Look at you. Why didn’t you make up when you went out? Aren’t you afraid that Mr. Davidson will despise you?”

Kate stuck out her tongue playfully. “Mom, you rushed me so much that I didn’t have time to put on makeup. It takes time to put on makeup. Mom, don’t worry. Mr. Davidson won’t despise me. He has seen my roughest side. And I never wear makeup at home.”

Even if she went out to put on makeup, she had to remove it at night.

She and Alfred were husband and wife. Alfred could naturally see her face.

“Mom, I am naturally beautiful, just like you. I don’t need makeup to look good,” said Kate.

Celia was amused. She chided her, “That’s a bit narcissistic.”

“I’m just telling the truth,” Kate said.

“You are a sweet talker.”

They chatted and laughed as they went upstairs and entered Kate’s room.

To make sure Kate felt at home when she returned, Celia had asked the nanny to clean up her room every day, and no one was allowed to touch the things in the room.

Kyla felt upset seeing Celia and Kate so happy.

She looked up and saw her mother looking at her lovingly. She pulled a long face and lowered her head to play with her phone, not wanting to pay attention to her biological parents.

As for her two biological brothers. Ryan had a lot of opinions about her and didn’t want to talk to her either.

Ryan had a lot of opinions about her and didn’t want to talk to her either. Robert was an honest man. Although he was in a suit today, it didn’t fit. And he looked a bit funny. Kyla did not even want to look him in the eye.

“Kyla, what are you looking at?” Robert wanted to get closer to her.

Although they did not know each other very well, they shared the same blood.

“Stocks. You don’t understand.”

Kyla didn’t even raise her head. Her tone was calm. And Robert was unable to reply. Indeed, he didn’t understand stocks.

He had contracted dozens of acres of orchards in the countryside and planted many fruits, the income was fine. He had also contracted hundreds of acres of land to grow vegetables. In any case, he was a farmer. He studied agriculture.

In the past, they did not have the money to rent so much land.

After Kate was recognized by her biological parents, she gave her a sum of money to fulfill his dream of becoming a landlord.

Robert said that when he earned money, he would return the money to Kate.

It had been more than a year, but he had yet to earn back the money he invested. However, he firmly believed that one day, he would make a fortune with the fruit and vegetables.

“Kyla, try some blackberry.” Robert grabbed a handful of blackberries and handed them to his sister.

“This is from my orchard. This type isn’t much. We keep all for ourselves and not for sale.”

Kyla pushed away the blackberries. Her tone was still calm as she said, “I don’t like blackberries. I don’t want to get pimples.”

Robert was speechless. He said embarrassedly, “Kate likes to eat blackberries and grapes, so I thought you’d like them too. Kate said blackberries are good for the skin.”

“I am not her. I only eat imported fruits, unlike her.”

Kyla did not continue, but Robert could tell that she despised the blackberries he brought and was mocking Kate for being a country bumpkin.

Ryan had told him that Kyla was arrogant and she looked down on every one of them, including Kate.

Robert thought that Ryan said so only because he preferred Kate. But now, he knew Ryan was telling the truth.

“Kyla!” Leland called out solemnly.

“Your brother asked you to eat blackberries. If you don’t want to eat, then don’t. Be nice.”

Kyla pursed her lips and looked up at Robert. She apologized reluctantly. “Robert, I’m sorry. I don’t like people disturbing me when I’m looking at the stocks. That was why I acted mean to you.”

“It’s okay.” Robert smiled foolishly. He gave up the idea of talking to Kyla again.

Kyla’s attitude had hurt her parents.

From the moment Faulkner came in, Kyla never spoke to him or called him Dad.

He understood that Kyla was raised in a wealthy family. She was proud and couldn’t accept the fact that her real parents were some farmers. But the way she mocked them was too much.

Kate had no idea of what was going on downstairs.

She was sitting in front of the dressing table while Celia was doing her makeup.

After the makeup was done, Celia helped Kate do her hair.

Occasionally, Celia would accidentally pull her hair which caused pain. Yet Kate endured it.

She knew that her mother had been a wealthy lady all her life and had never served anyone before.

She did not know that Celia had pulled a few strands of her hair for a paternity test.

Celia took what Kyla said to her to heart.

If she did not do a paternity test again, she’d always suspect that the Kate in front of her was fake and the real Kate had been murdered.

“Done.”

After Kate’s hair was done, Celia looked at the beauty in the mirror and smiled. “When Mr. Davidson comes later and sees you, he will be mesmerized by you.”

Kate could not help but laugh. “Mom, what kind of beauty has he not seen before? Perhaps, among the women he knows, I’m the ugliest. In terms of looks, I’m not even as good-looking as him.”

Celia looked at Kate speechlessly. But she agreed that Alfred was very good-looking.
