"I don't like my sister," Gerard bluntly refused.
Jsighed. "Even if Grandma personally asked you?"
Gerard remained silent.
Silence was the best answer he could give.
Seeing Gerard's stubbornness, Jtried to suppress her growing anger. She
raised her hand, weary, and said, "You may leave now."
"Then I'll head back to my room," Gerard said, turning to walk out.
Jwatched his retreating figure and let out a deep sigh.
She hadn't raised him well.
She felt she owed Edna an apology.
The next day arrived quickly.
Jessica, bearing generous gifts, accompanied Edna and her daughter to visit the Lindsay estate.
Jwarmly welcomed them. "It's been ages, old friend."
"Yes, it has been," Jessica replied with a smile. "How have you been feeling lately?"
Jled Jessica inside. "Thanks to Edna bringingnourishing soup every day, I'm feeling much better than
before."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis wasn't Jessica's first visit to the Lindsay estate.
Yet every tshe visited, she couldn't help but be amazed.
Compared to the Lindsay's grand estate, the Fletcher family's small villa seemed more like a pigeon coop.
No wonder Edna was so determined to marry into the Lindsay family.
She had been biding her time.
Once she joined the Lindsays, she could then aim to marry Darleen into the Christensen family. At that point, she
and her daughter would hold considerable influence over Capital City.
Jinstructed the staff to serve tea and replaced the server with a young girl. "Where's Delia? | haven't seen
her."
"Delia isn't feeling well today."
Jnodded. "If she's unwell, let her rest."
Then she turned to Jessica, "This is the first tea harvest of the year. Tellhow it tastes."
Jessica lifted her teacup. "Anything from your his bound to be the best."
As the two elderly women sipped tea and chatted, Jessica suddenly changed the subject. "Janet, since we're
practically family, let's speak openly Edna has waited for your Jonah for nineteen years. It's not like she couldn't
find someone else! Honestly, if she wanted, suitors would line up from here to
Crystalbrook! Youth is priceless, and I think it's tJonah gives Edna a proper answer."
Sthings needed to be addressed openly.
Otherwise, Edna would be left at a disadvantage.
"Mom!" Edna stood quickly, her voice urgent. "What are you saying? | chose to
wait for Jonah! This has nothing to do with Jor Jonah."
Jraised her hand, calming Edna. "Your mother is right. Over the years, it's the Lindsay family that has kept
you waiting."
Looking directly at Jessica, Jassured her, "Rest assured, Ednazis the chosen daughter-in-law for our family.
No matter the
circumstances, we will honor that promise."
With Janet's reassurance, the worry in Jessica's heart eased. She had thought Jwas merely placating Edna,
but now she realized Edna truly had Janet's blessing.
As evening approached, Jessica prepared to leave.
Jescorted her to the door.
At the entrance, they encountered Delia, who was heading inside. Seeing Jessica, Delia's face paled, and she
quickly turned awayo disappearing into the lush greenery.
Jessica frowned and looked at Edna. "Who was that? She seemed familiar."
Edna glanced in the sdirection, dismissive. "Just a maid. Perhaps you saw her last tyou visited."
Jessica nodded, thinking it plausible.
"What's the matter?" Jasked, noticing Jessica's expression.
Jessica shook her head. "Nothing."
Meanwhile, at Cloudcrest.
Anthea received an electronic invitation from the tech world.
She was invited to attend the latest Tech Summit Global.
At the stime, Anthea also received a heartfelt plea from her 'sons,' a petition signed by thousands.
