Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 931 - Bab 940

Zelda was quick to answer Angela's call. After Angela shared that she and Mary were going back to the villa, Zelda's mood immediately turned sour."She's doing you a favor by bringing you here, but she should leave by the entrance to the villa area. I'll send someone to pick you up. Just ask her to leave," Zelda said bluntly.Mary was furious. Last time, she had managed to enter the villa with Angela, but she wasn't even allowed at the entrance to the villa area now. Despite her frustration, there wasn't much she could do. The entrance to the villa area had security, and the Johnsons' bodyguards and drivers were there.Angela tried to reason with them, but there was no way to change their minds. It was Angela leaving with Mary or Angela returning to the villa alone.It had been two days since Angela had heard from James. He hadn't returned any of her calls or messages. There had been no updates on his social media account or his Instagram either. She decided to find out for herself

Sam had toned down his wild side after he tied the knot and became a parent. His relationships with Zelda and Kenneth were getting better as well. Perhaps the bad things from before would fade away if these good times continued.Zelda wasn't looking for any forgiveness from her children. Her only hope was that their future would be filled with safety and happiness.As soon as Zelda had left the living room, Angela's face became much more somber. But she couldn't vent because all she had beside her was a housekeeper offering her water. Angela took a deep breath and settled down on the couch.It always felt like spring in Fairport. The villa had a garden-style architecture. Outside the window walls were beautiful views of trees and flowers. Birds were singing and the water rippled. Angela felt bitterness creep in despite the beautiful scene.She had never expected to be treated with cold indifference as an elder. It was just ludicrous. Her anger began to rise as she thought about the

"Oliver," Penny called out as she led her daughter, Cerys Johnson, from the yard into the living room. Penny patted Oliver on the head before adding, "Take Cerys out to play. I'll look after your great-grandma.""Oliver, let's play!" Cerys eagerly reached out to Oliver. At the age of three, Cerys received a great deal of love and care from Penny and Sam. She was irresistibly adorable with her chubby cheeks and big eyes.Oliver glanced at Penny and realized that she was sending him away on purpose. Since he'd already said what he needed, he didn't mind."All right, Aunt Penny. I'll be taking Cerys to play. Call me if you need anything," Oliver said politely as he took Cerys' hand in his.They left the living room and headed for the grape arbor. Oliver didn't waste a single glance at Angela. For him, courtesy was a matter of mutual respect, regardless of Angela's age.Oliver wasn't influenced by other people's opinions. He always put his feelings first. He would make sure that tho

Angela felt that Zelda's words hit her like a sledgehammer."Could you?" Zelda humbly asked Angela not to take her anger out on others because of her favoritism toward Mary.Angela was startled. She staggered and nearly fell. Luckily, the housekeeper caught her quickly.Zelda had always believed that family came first. In the past, she would have been worried about Angela getting hurt. However, Angela's harsh words gradually wore down her heart, and she was no longer tenderhearted."Zel, I didn't mean to be hard on you." Angela softened her tone after regaining her composure. She must have felt guilty about how she had treated Zelda over the years, and how she had treated the Johnsons these past few days."Mary's marriage didn't turn out well. Your father married her off in Riverwood, which was a long way from Rookfort. We couldn't help her in time when she was being mistreated. After her divorce, Mary came back to us with Serena."Yet, the Seales family was a heartless bunch. Th

Perhaps Zelda's words had affected Angela, for her tone was not as firm as earlier. Emotions rose in Angela. She also felt a hint of regret for Zelda. Zelda seemed uninterested. She wasn't going to let go of past grievances just for that."I don't have to tell you where I'm going, do I? Why are you asking now when you never cared about me before?" Zelda glowered at Angela before she left with Rebecca and Penny.Angela seemed defeated and angry. She wanted to say something to Zelda but ended up remaining silent. Her shoulders slumped, and she looked deflated. She was exhausted and didn't know where to go next.The housekeeper noticed that something was wrong and quickly came over to support Angela. With a wave of her hand, Angela pulled her arm away from the housekeeper and walked out of the villa. She seemed to be looking for Cerys and Oliver, who were in the garden.Everyone loved Cerys. She was docile, sensible, and as beautiful as Penny, who had once been a star. Angela sat in a
