After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Chapter 577

Chapter 577

Everything about the Jennings family was like a nightmare to me.

“Sorry, Mr. Jennings, I'm a bit busy...” | said.

“Victoria, I'm sorry,” Edward apologized. “I'm leaving the country after the New Year. If you don’t want to see

me, we might never meet again.”

| hesitated for a moment, then replied quietly, “Thanks for all your help, Mr. Jennings.”

Edward's voice grew hoarse. “No need to thank me. Compared to what the Jennings family owes you, what I've

done is nothing.”

“The Jennings family doesn’t oweanything,” | replied, my heart giving a little jolt. ‘All | ever did was date

Ryan, and honestly, he helpedout big tat work more than once. If we're talking about favors, I'm the one

who owes him, not the other way around, | thought to myself.

“Ryan cto see me,” Edward said, his voice dropping. “He toldwhat's going on with the Chamberlain

family.”

‘My whole body went tense-I didn’t dare say a word,’ | thought.

Edward went on, “The Chamberlain family’s arrogance comes from their new status-they’ve got the Jennings

family by the throat right now. But that guy can only hold onto his position for three years, tops. So the

Chamberlains are jumping at the chance to push for a marriage alliance. Fiona’s been crushing on Ryan for

years. As their little princess, her request is pretty over-the-top and risky, but her family’s happy to spoil her.”

In my previous life, I'd seen plenty of rich girls cause trouble for their families just because they were spoiled.

Fiona’s case is nothing special.

She's just head over heels for someone, and she hasn't done anything truly bad. Maybe her family’s just rolling

the dice.

They're betting that Ryan might fall for their girl after tying the knot.

After all, once they're married and spending every day together, it's easy for feelings to grow between two

young people living under the sroof.

Everyone's a gambler in this game—it’s just that we're all betting with different stakes and chips.

“Got it,” | replied softly.

Edward went quiet on the other end, and the silence between us stretched across the line.

“Wishing you all the best,” Edward said at last, then he hung up first.

| listened to the empty tone for a while before putting my phone down. Just like that, things with the Jennings

family were finally over.

Everyone's got a bit of curiosity buried inside. Honestly, | kind of wanted to secretly spy on Ryan and Fioria’s

married life.

But then I thought, ‘Aren't | just asking for trouble?”

With a patient still waiting forat the hospital, | really didn’t have the tor energy to keep tabs on someone

else’s happiness.

| threw on a coat, grabbed a bag of clothes, and hurried off to the hospital.

As | walked down the hospital corridor, | could hear voices coming from the room.

Sally and Yvonne were the loudest, with Jared's voice chiming in every now and then.

| pushed the door open and saw Sally had whipped up a bunch of delicious food. Nathan was sitting awkwardly

on the bed, eating, while Jared was sitting on the couch. Yvonne was standing at the foot of the bed, and Sally

was eagerly pitching Nathan on a potential girlfriend.

“Mr. Hallman, this girl is really great,” Sally was saying. “She just got back from studying overseas, she’s an only

child, and honestly, she’s gorgeous...”

But as soon as | walked in, Sally stopped mid-sentence.

The next moment, the air froze and everyone turned to look at me.

“Mom!” Yvonne dashed over and hugged my waist. “Nathan said Grandma Sally’s cooking is amazing, so | told

him to have another bowl.”

| reached out and ruffled the kid's hair, then glanced at Nathan-he was clearly out of his element.

Jared stood up from the couch and said, “Victoria, letstay here tonight. You've been running around all day-

take Yvonne hand get srest.”

Nathan: “...”

Sally immediately nodded in agreement. “That's right, Victoria. Jared toldyou were just in the hospital not

long ago. Your health comes first-don’t push yourself too hard.”

Nathan turned his head to look at me, his gaze complicated, like he had something to say but just couldn't get

the words out.

Jared looked at Nathan and said, “It’s true. Victoria just got over a pretty bad illness.”

Nathan hesitated, looking like he wanted to speak, but stopped himself.

| set the clothes down and said to Jared, “It’s fine. I'll stay here tonight. You all go home.”

Even with her sharp mind, Yvonne was totally stumped about whose side to pick. Her dark eyes flicked back and

forth, quick as ever, checking each of our faces, trying to figure out what she was supposed to do next.

Nathan's brows, which had been drawn tight, finally relaxed when he heard me.

Sally’s smile faltered for a moment.

| could pretty much guess what everyone here was trying to do-they just didn’t wantand Nathan to have any

talone together.

‘Please. I'm not their daughter-in-law anymore. Even if God himself walked in, tonight it’s still my turn to keep

watch, | thought.

“Yvonne, go help Sally tidy up and then head hto get ssleep,” | said, sending her off.
