Chapter 491

The sight of her unsettled me again. Nevertheless, it would be bad manners not to greet her still. As aresult, I braced myself and approached her.

“Mrs. Campbell, I'm surprised to see that you're still here. I thought you would have already left,” Iremarked cordially.

“It's been a long while since I last visited. Hence, we have a lot to catch up on. How was shopping?”

Alicia was all smiles the moment she saw me. The tone she used sounded as if she knew me very well.

“Erm, it was hot outside, so we didn't want to stay out for too long and decided to come home instead,”I simply explained.

Deep down, I was reluctant to interact with her.

“After shopping for the entire morning, I'm feeling exhausted. Mrs. Campbell, please carry on chattingwith Mom. I'll be going upstairs to get some rest.”

Wanting to avoid her intense gaze, I decided not to linger in the living hall. After all, she was here tosee Josephine. At that moment, Michael put his arm around my waist and planned to go upstairstogether with me.

“By the way, Anna, can I invite you to visit my place when you're free?”

Just when I was about to ascend the stairs, Alicia's voice rang out as she looked at me withanticipation.

Stunned by her sudden invitation, I didn't know how to react. Somehow, I felt something was amisswhen she invited me to her home, but I just couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Under normal circumstances, one would only invite someone over when one liked the person a lot or ifthat person was very close.

Considering that we have only met twice and barely talked to each other, her invitation couldn't help butarouse my suspicion.

“Erm...” I hesitated.

In truth, I was in a dilemma. I really wanted to decline her invitation but was worried about disrespectingher.

When she sensed my reluctance, Alicia's eyes flashed with disappointment. In spite of that, shecontinued to persuade me, “Anna, from the first time I saw you, I was very fond of you. I do hope thatyou won't reject my invitation.”

Considering that she was an elder who had invited me over to her home, it would be terribly rude of meto refuse.

The sight of her unsettled me again. Nevertheless, it would be bad manners not to greet her still. As aresult, I braced myself and approached her.“All right then. Michael and I will visit you when we have the time,” I replied with an awkward smile.

As nothing of the sort happened before, Josephine knitted her brows, looking puzzled. Evidently, Iwasn't the only one confused about the situation.

“Great. Let's exchange contact numbers. Whenever you decide to come, just give me a call inadvance.”

Alicia was ecstatic upon hearing my agreement. Coming up to my side with her phone, she exchangednumbers with me.

No one in this world would treat others well for no reason. Therefore, I strongly believed that Alicia hadan agenda. Regardless of what it was, I didn't like it when she treated me as a fool.

After giving her my number, I exchanged further pleasantries before returning to my bedroom.

Lying on my bed, I couldn't help but feel perplexed.

Michael, who was behind me, hugged me from the back.

“Mrs. Campbell is obviously treating you differently. All this while, she has always been reserved andaloof. Never once did I ever hear her treat anyone so warmly.”

After Michael's voice rang out from behind me, the uneasiness I felt further intensified.

“In that case, why is she being so nice to me? In fact, she seems to be overdoing it. To those not in theknow, they might even think that I'm her daughter,” I replied before letting out a helpless sigh.

“That's a possibility too,” Michael commented thoughtfully. His voice was deep and didn't sound like hewas joking at all.

As my body suddenly froze, my mind just went blank. When I finally regained my senses, I turnedaround and gave him a dumbfounded look.

“How is that possible? You have met my parents before. How can Mrs. Campbell be my mom? Thisjoke isn't even funny at all!” I glared at Michael.

I didn't like it when he cracked such jokes with me.

I didn't mind if his jokes were about anything else, but joking about my parents was off-limits.

Ever since I was young, I was raised in a village. Thus, there was no way I could have such a wealthymother.

Michael stared into my eyes for a long while before replying, “Nothing is impossible in this world.”

Even though I felt that he was making strange remarks the entire day, I couldn't really explain why.
