Lilin nodded honestly. "Miss Emily, any normal person would be scared out of their wits when you knocked on our door at this time. I almost entertained the thought that you teleported from Molomia."Emily smiled apologetically and lowered herself to embrace Lilin. "I'm really sorry... I didn't mean to startle you. Here's the thing. When I saw the portrait your mom sent me today, it looked exactly like my daughter. I hurriedly bought a plane ticket and flew over to find you guys."Lilin was stunned as she began to connect the dots. 'Miss Corinne is probably Miss Emily's daughter who she thought was dead! No wonder Dad's people didn't do anything to stop her. They recognized her to be Mom's best friend.'Melinda looked at her best friend and sighed. She carried Emily's suitcase in and slowly closed the door."Emily, please have a seat. Let me get you a cup of warm water," said Melinda.Emily stood up and shook her head. "Don't bother with the water, Melinda. Take me to Corinne now.

Pamela looked at Corinne kindly. "It's okay, my dear. I just wanted to see you if you're doing okay. You must be tired after taking the kids to the amusement park yesterday."Corinne shook her head. "No, they were quite well-behaved. Grandma, please come in and have a seat."Pamela peeked inside, her eyes resting on the three kids peacefully asleep on the bed.She shook her head and said, "It's okay, I don't wish to disturb them. Let them sleep a little longer. Corinne, there's actually something I'd like to ask you to do on my behalf."Corinne raised an eyebrow curiously. "What is it, Grandma?""It'll be Annie's wedding in a couple of days," replied Pamela sincerely. "They've sent us the invitation, but considering your grandpa's and my own health, it's not convenient for us to attend. Could you take the trouble and bring the wedding gift on our behalf? Annie has always been Jeremy's most cherished niece. I'm sorry to trouble you, but since he's not here…"'Oh, so that's what it

After thinking for a moment, Corinne assumed Sunny should be busy taking care of his father and not likely to tag along, so she said, "Let's invite Xante. We'll all help Annie pick out a wedding dress together."Aaron smiled. "Alright, I'll call her right now!"Annie was still hugging Corinne's arm like a child. "Corinne, honestly speaking, I... I'm a bit nervous."Corinne raised an eyebrow and teased her, "What's there to be nervous about? It's not like it's your first time getting married."Annie frowned and looked up at her. "Corinne! How can you bring up what happened last time? You should know very well how traumatized I was."Corinne chuckled and gently pinched her cheek. "That's right, so don't be nervous. This time can't be worse than the last! Aaron might just be an average guy, but he's still way better than the last one! Don't worry. With me around, he won't dare mess things up."Annie felt better after hearing that.However, the same could not be said for Aaron. He s

Sunny became a bit more obedient after Xante glared at him. Instead of following her, he sullenly sat back down on the Japanese tatami, crossing his legs."Haha! Serve you right. Miss Xante never had any plans to marry you, yet you're thinking of taking her to see wedding dresses? No wonder she's ignoring you. It would be strange if she didn't!" taunted Annie.Sunny's face darkened, and he glared at Annie. "Don't think you're safe hiding behind my sister. Just because you're there doesn't mean I won't do something to you."Annie was indeed fearless and confident as she knew Corinne would always take her side and support her. She placed her hands on her hips and continued to taunt Sunny. "Is that so? Go on, I dare you to do something!""Why, you…" Sunny was fuming. The uncertainty of Xante's feelings already weighed on him, and Annie continued to aggravate the situation.'D*mn it! If she wasn't a girl, I'd have surely done something!' thought Sunny.Thus, unable to do anything, he

Annie blushed and said, "What are you doing? Miss Xante and Corinne are looking at us. Let me go now. Behave yourself!"Aaron laughed. "It's okay. They're not outsiders. Have you picked out a wedding dress? Can I see you wearing it?"Annie tried to remove his hands from her. "Stop it right now…"Xante glanced sideways at Aaron. She was used to his antics. Thus, she turned to talk to Corinne.Aaron became even more shameless. "See. Xante knows not to be a third-wheel."Annie was beyond mad. "If I had known you were going to be like this, I wouldn't have let you come!"…Corinne ignored the young couple's lovey-dovey act. Instead, she discussed with Xante about recent happenings in Adam's company. After a while, her phone rang.She took out her phone and saw the call was from an unknown number. She would not typically answer a call from an unknown number, but at that moment, she was worried Jeremy had used someone else's number to call her. Thus, she answered the call.What she
