Chapter 18 

Howard stared at Grace with a sharp gaze and coldly asked, Who let you in?” 

“I…” Grace felt extremely wronged and tightened her grip on Rina’s hand

Amanda angrily spoke up, I brought Grace in.” 

Howard furrowed his brows, looking displeased at Amanda. Before he could speak, Amanda spoke first

Grace is Rina’s mommy. Howard, how can you be like this and not let the child see her mommy?” 

Grace held Rina in her arms, tears welling up in her eyes, feeling helpless and wronged

Rina’s whole body tensed up, her eyes fixed on Howard

Mom, I’m doing this for Rina.” 

For Rina? Is it for her own good not to let her meet her mommy? If it weren’t for Grace, Rina wouldn’t be in such a good condition now.” 

Clearly, Amanda didn’t believe Howard’s words

Howard didn’t intend to reveal too much about Rina’s 

condition

The doctors said it themselves, didn’t they? Rina’s condition is related to her parents. Tell me, how many parents live apart

and treat their child like a stranger? Can Rina’s condition improve like this?”

Whenever Rina’s condition was mentioned, Amanda would always bring up their marriage

Howard coldly interrupted, Mom, I have my own plans 

regarding my matters, and as for Rina’s affairs, you don’t have to worry about them anymore.” 

You” 

Amanda wanted to reprimand him, but seeing Howard’s stern expression, the words on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back. 

Howard’s temper was something she knew all too well. Even as parents, Howard didn’t like them meddling in his affairs either

Seeing this, Grace immediately stepped forward to console, Amanda, please don’t say anything. Don’t argue with Howard because of me. I believe Howard has his own plans.” 

Grace looked at Howard with affectionate eyes

However, Howard didn’t even give her a glance

Rina, who had been released by Grace, rushed to Howard’s side in one swift step, tightly hugging his leg

Rina!Howard lifted Rina up in his arms

Rina held onto Howard’s neck tightly

Howard could feel her fear and nervousness, and his heart tightened with a twinge of pain

Rina, don’t be afraid, daddy is here.” 

With Howard’s gentle reassurance, Rina’s trembling body gradually calmed down a bit

Mom, I will take good care of Rina. In the future, please refrain from bringing unrelated people here,Howard said coldly

His tone was sharp and unquestionable

YouI…” Amanda was infuriated by his attitude and tone

Howard’s gaze shifted to Grace, his eyes even colder. If you disturb Rina again, don’t blame me for not considering your relationship with Rina as her mommy.” 

Grace’s face turned unpleasant in an instant

Howard carried Rina upstairs

Sally finished her work and took the opportunity to return home for lunch

Mia and Kara were having their lunch

Mia, Kara,Sally walked in

Mia happily stood up and greeted her, Mommy, why are you back?” 

Kara, however, remained seated in her chair at the dining table, only looking at Sally

came back to see you two,” Sally tousled Mia’s hair and then 

shifted her gaze to Kara

Indeed, Kara was very different from before

At this moment, Scarlet came out from the kitchen, welcoming them, Ms. Brown, why didn’t you inform me in advance when you came back? I could have prepared a few more dishes.” 

It’s okay, I decided to come back on a whim. Just serve a simple meal.” 

Then let me get some plates and utensils.Scarlet hurried back into the kitchen

Sally held Mia’s hand and entered the dining room. She sat down next to Kara and smiled at her, What’s the matter? I came back, and you didn’t even call me?” 

Mommy!Kara softly called out, then lowered her gaze

Sally furrowed her brows. She initially thought that Kara and Mia were having a quarrel, so she didn’t pay much attention. However, it was evident that something was wrong with Kara

Nevertheless, Sally didn’t show it on the surface. Instead, she asked in a joking manner, as usual, What’s going on? Are you unhappy?” 

Kara kept her head down without speaking

Mommy, Kara is mad at me,” Mia said from the side

Sally patiently asked, What did you do to make Kara angry again?” 

Laccidentally broke her favorite Barbie doll this morning.”

Mia spoke like a guilty child, lowering his head and speaking softly

Sally nodded solemnly, No wonder Kara is upset. How could you break her favorite toy?” 

I didn’t mean to either,” Mia pouted with a sense of grievance

Sally looked at Kara, smiling gently as she spoke softly, Kara, you heard it too. Mia didn’t do it on purpose, it was an accident. How about you forgive him this time? When mommy has a day off on the weekend, I’ll buy you another one exactly like it, okay?” 

Kara’s eyes darted around, but she still didn’t say anything

It seems like our Kara doesn’t need it then? Let’s forget about 

it.” 

Mommy, no, you promised to buy it for me,” Kara pleaded, throwing herself into Sally’s arms and acting spoiled

Seeing Kara return to her usual self, Sally let out a slow breath of relief

Kara tilted her head and playfully asked, Mommy, do you think I performed well?” 

Good, I almost believed it,” Sally replied somewhat helplessly, finally letting go of the tension she had been carrying

Scarlet couldn’t believe it and said, Kara, so you’ve been pretending all this time.” 

Yes, Scarlet, do you think I did a good job?Kara asked with a hint of coquettishness

Scarlet smiled and said, So Kara, you’ve been acting this whole time. Ms. Brown, I apologize for my overreacting.” 

Scarlet, don’t say that. She fooled even me with her performance,Sally said with a somewhat helpless smile

Kara had an innocent and puzzled expression as she asked, Mommy, what are you talking about? What did I fool you. with?” 

Saying that you’re good at acting,Sally laughed

Kara, being praised, showed a proud smile and then exchanged a glance with Mia

Luckily, they managed to switch with Rina in time. Otherwise, mommy would have found out

They wondered how Rina was doing now

Seeing that Kara was fine, Sally finished her meal and hurried back to the company

As soon as she entered the office, Kim greeted her with a serious expression, Teacher Join, where have you been? I called you, but you didn’t answer. Mr. Logan has been looking for you everywhere.” 

Looking for me?Sally frowned, having a bad feeling about it

Whenever Howard looked for her, it was never good news

Teacher Join, you better go in quickly.” 

Sally nodded and walked briskly towards the boss’s office.

As soon as she left, the office erupted with speculation

What could Mr. Logan want with Join?” 

I noticed that Mr. Logan’s face was particularly gloomy just now. I hope nothing serious has happened.” 

What could it be? Remember what happened in the meeting room last time? Mr. Logan and Join left one after the other. They might have known each other for a long time.” 

But Mr. Logan is with Grace from the Brown Family now, right? They even have a daughter together.” 

Could it be that Mr. Logan hasn’t married Grace yet because of Join?”
