Quinton was taken aback by the question, but he quickly shook his head. “No, I’ve never met my mom’s family since I was bom. Mom seemed to mention them a couple of times when I was little, but every time she brought it up. Dad would hir

“Gradually, Mom stopped mentioning them” He felt downcast, and his hands paused. If Janet had family around, surely things wouldn’t have gotten so bad for her mentall

Quinlyn realized she had asked something she shouldn’t have and lowered her eyes a bit, saying, “Tm sorry”

Quinton gave a bitter smile. “It’s alright. You saved us, and because of you, my mom and I have the life we have today”

He used to live through chaos and hardships, feeling like he was in hell, never daring to imagine he’d one day be sleeping on such a luxurious cruise. Surprisingly, Janet adapted well and could sleep on the ship.

At this moment, Mandy curiously walked over, her big round eyes wide open, saying, “But Mrs. Suarez is so pretty! My dad said she looks even better than the movie stars on stage.”

Even Quinton had striking looks, having inherited all his mother’s best features.

“Yeah.” Quinton turned to look at Janet, admiration in his eyes. “My mom is the most beautiful person in the world.”

Mandy nodded in agreement. “My mom is the most beautiful too.”

Watching them, Quinlyn thought about her own mom, who must be beautiful as well, if only she could meet her.

An hour later, Quinlyn and her friends finally finished unwrapping their presents. Quinlyn counted the boxes and handed out “payments” to her two friends. Then she went over to Janet to give her share.

But Janet didn’t want it and instead pointed to a box with a necklace, saying, “Can I have this one?” She seemed to be in better spirits, speaking more clearly than usual.

“Mom, that’s Quinlyn’s item, it’s really expensive. Quinton hurried over. He glanced at the box, noticing a pearl necklace, and quickly added more. If it were something ordinary, he might consider buying it from Quinlyn, but that wasn’t the case

with this.

Yet, Janet was being stubborn, holding onto the necklace and refusing to let go.
