“If I’m sticking around in Coraland, living in the embassy just won’t do. I’ve had Eason snag a villa right next to yours. Looks like we’re going to be neighbors.”

Judith said this nervously, stealing a glance at Susan, “Susan, you won’t hold this against me, right?”

Judith had a soft look about her, and when those hopeful eyes met yours, there was a kind of dreamy

vibe to her presence.

Susan always thought that if she said she would, Judith might just break down crying right then and

there.

So, she hurriedly said, “No, I won’t.”

Judith lit up with happiness, “So not rejecting me outright kind of means you’re open to the idea. Susan, you might not call me ‘Mom‘ just yet, but I can tell I’ve carved out a little spot in your heart.”

It was indeed…

And it wasn’t just Susan. Even Ben couldn’t stop his eyelids from twitching.

Judith’s mood lifted, and after a moment, she said, “I’ve recently settled into a new place and I’d love to

have you over for dinner tonight. Would you grace me with your presence?”

Finishing her words, Judith looked expectantly at Susan.

Susan really couldn’t resist Judith’s gaze and nodded in agreement.

Judith got up with a smile, “I’ll head home and get things ready. Come over when you can.”

After Susan agreed, Judith then left with Eason and Penny, looking very delighted.

Penny observed Judith’s gleeful display, her eyes dimming with a tinge of discomfort.

It had been many years since Judith had been this happy.

Ever since the loss, she’s been crying herself to sleep every night, and at her lowest, she spent a whole year in silence, not uttering a single word.

Penny caught on quickly after arriving at the Nicholas family. She realized she was only adopted because she looked a bit like Judith; they figured having her around might ease Judith’s ache for her missing daughter.

She understood the significance of her presence.

Thus, for over twenty years, she had been carefully gauging Judith’s preferences, trying her best to take care of and please Judith.
