Chapter 434

The three ladies had been to a county fair, afterwards indulging in a shopping spree and making a stop at a trendy afternoon tea spot before returning contentedly.

To outsiders, their position as three women in one household was awkward. Most would expect a dramatic soap opera of rivalry and betrayal, but they were more like sisters than rivals. Occasionally, even Evadne would feel a pang of envy upon witnessing their bond.

Emeric must have saved the galaxy in his past life to deserve such devotion from these three women in this one.

“Seriously, you guys went out and didn’t invite me! I’m mad, hmpf!”

Evadne sat in the garden swing, her feet lightly touching the ground as she swung back and forth, her posture as lively and youthful as a teenager’s.

“Oh, our sweetheart, it wasn’t intentional!”

Aviana walked over to her, affectionately wrapping her arms around her neck from behind, “You decided to come home without giving us a heads up. If we’d known, nothing short of your father having a stroke or breaking a limb would have kept us away!”

Evadne’s lips twitched at the corners.

Suri and Myra looked stiff. “Aviana, don’t jinx Emeric!”

“Ah, c’mon, if something happened to Emeric, where would I find another sugar daddy as dependable as him? Ha ha ha.” Aviana laughed carelessly, hands on her hips.

The other three women exchanged glances.

Thankfully, Emeric wasn’t there to hear this.

Otherwise, he might have had a heart attack.

“Myra has longing for an interesting county fair, so we thought we’d accompany her for a change of scenery,” Suri explained gently, holding Evadne’s hand. “I’m sorry, I’ll make a special dinner tonight to make it up to Evadne,” Myra, who doted on Evadne more than her own daughter, said, immediately heading towards the kitchen.

“Myra, wait! I was just kidding!”

Evadne quickly stood up, pulling Myra back and pouting, “You’re too sensitive to teasing.”

Seeing Myra’s modest and submissive demeanor, she felt a pang of sympathy.

It was exhausting to live so cautiously.

“Myra, how have you been? Feeling better?” Evadne asked softly.

–“Evadne, don’t worry about me, I’m fine, really fine,” Myra gently stroked Evadne’s sleek hair, her eyes full of concern, “What about you? I heard you’ve been

causing a ruckus lately. You haven’t been home in ages, your father’s been worried sick. He’s lost his appetite and he’s lost weight.”

“Exactly! Even Myra’s cooking can’t tempt him, you can tell how much he misses you,” Aviana chimed in.

Evadne felt a twinge of guilt but hid it well.

“Evadne, I heard Emeric shouting at you over the phone the other day. Did you two have a fight?” Suri couldn’t help asking.

“Not exactly.”

“Not exactly? Wow, since that day, Emeric’s been under a dark cloud. His face was ashen when he left this morning, he was like a thundercloud,” Aviana shuddered at the thought.

“Evadne, what happened? Your father rarely gets angry,” Myra asked, worried.

Evadne clenched her lips, taking deep breaths before speaking, “I got back together with Thaddeus.”
