Chapter 388
Upon hearing that Salma was bringing Pattie along, a pang of discomfort arose in Layna’s chest, but this time, she
held her tongue.
Pattie emerged from her room, and Salma put on her shoes, heading downstairs with the two children.
Donned in a blue dress with a hair accessory, Pattie looked absolutely stunning. As they walked through the
neighborhood, she received heaps of compliments.
Pattie’s skin was rosy and delicate, and she looked like a little fairy in her beautiful outfit. Anyone who saw her
would call her pretty, wishing they had such a beautiful daughter.
Hearing all the adults praising Pattie, Layna felt a surge of jealousy, as no one was complimenting her. Layna was

Anastasia woke up from a nap and realized it was quiet at home. She assumed Salma must have taken the kids out.
She took a sip of water and began working on design drafts.
Even though Anastasia didn’t go to the office, she was still working on drafts at home. She felt like she would get
moldy if she didn’t do anything.
After working for a while, Monica called, “Hey Ana, what are you up to? It’s Saturday, isn’t your husband at home?”

“Layna showed up all by herself in the middle of the night,” Anastasia said. “First thing in the morning, she and
Pattie started fighting over toys. It gave me a headache. I guess have to be prepared to be the referee for their
fights in the future.’

“So, Layna is staying with you now? That hasn’t even been confirmed yet,” Monica said. “What if there’s a mix-up?”
“I couldn’t just send her away when she showed up in the middle of the night,” Anastasia said. “Let her stay for
