Maxwell felt that someone was looking at him. He looked in the direction of that gaze and got slightlystunned as he was taken aback.

He was attracted by a familiar bearing of the girl who was around Anya’s age. He became slightlydazed as if he thought of the past. However, he did not look at the girl for too long, and he walkedstraight out the entrance.

Corinne’s gaze did not follow him to continue observing either. Her complicated expression finallyreturned to calmness.

Maxwell once hurt and betrayed her mother, giving her mother no way out but to run away from homewith her when she was still at a very young age. That was why Edgar disliked him so much!

Corinne had no memories of her father, not even a blurry shadow. She figured this jerk

probably did not take good care of her much when she was a child. Therefore, for a child, there wasnothing to remember about him!

“Emily!”

Just when Corinne was spacing out and lost in thoughts, a pair of aged hands suddenly grabbed hertightly! She was shocked and she looked up to see that it was an old lady.

The old lady looked worried as she looked at her. “Emily, why are you home so late after school? Youwent somewhere to play again, didn’t you?”

Corinne was stunned, “Ma’am, I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else-

The old lady seemed to not hear what she said. She just went on talking to herself, “Emily, you’re notallowed to come home so late in the future. You’ll make your father and I worry!”

At that moment, Maxwell already got to the door, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks when he heardhis mother-in-law calling out Emilly’s name. He turned around and saw his mother- in-law, Gertrude,was talking to the girl earlier who had an outstanding air to her

Corinne said a little helplessly, “Ma’am, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m not the Emily you’relooking for!”

The old lady who looked kind furrowed her eyebrows and started lecturing her, “Enough, Emily. Stopgoing against your father and me! You have to listen to us. You’re not allowed to hang out with that bratfrom the Riveras anymore! You can tell he’s a heartless person by the look on his face. You’ll get hurt ifyou get together with him!”

Both Maxwell and Corinne were at a loss for words.

Corinne could tell the old lady’s identity by inferring from what she said. The old lady was Maxwell’swife, which meant she was Corinne’s grandmother.

Her grandmother seemed to have mistaken her for her mother. Emily was her mother’s name.

Sunny ran over to pull the old lady away. “Grandma, you got the wrong person again. She’s my friendand not Emily!”

Gertrude shook her head and said in a slightly eager and excited voice, “Emily! She’s Emily! Emily isback!”

Sunny felt hopeless. “Grandma, she is not!”

Edgar cleared his throat loudly, then he came to them. “Stop it, Gertrude! You’re frightening thechildren!”

Gertrude looked at Edgar, tears of sorrow welling in her eyes. “Edgar, it’s Emily! She’s back. Emily isback.”

“Alright, alright. She’s back, she’s back!” said Edgar, going along with her. He seemed to have gottenused to that. He walked over and pulled his wife to his side before he looked to see the young girl hiswife insisted on pointing at. Edgar was stunned. Which family was she from? How could she look sosimilar?

Corinne blinked. Because she truly felt a little awkward being stared at, she smiled and let out a peal offorced laughter.

Gertrude’s eyes were reddened and her face was covered in tears. “Edgar, it’s Emily! Look, Emily hasreturned.”

Edgar regained his senses and sighed deeply. “Mm-hmm. I saw it. I did. Gertrude, it’s time to take yourmedication. Let’s go. I’ll take you to first have your medication, then we’ll come and see Emily afterthat.’

He coaxed his wife while making her turn around. He was trying to first calm his wife down. Corinnelooked at their backs with slight confusion and mixed feelings.
