Chapter 223: Jennie Gets Angry

At the dining table, the family enjoyed a harmonious meal. Midway through, Elsa raised her glass to Tina and Jared. "Tina, Jared, I toast to you!"

Tina raised an eyebrow, smiling. "Why toast to us?" By seniority, it should have been her and Jared toasting Elsa.

Elsa smiled. "I am usually busy with work and rarely come home. I know Grandma Ye has always looked down on Mom and Dad, but I haven't been able to help much. Since you came back, you've taken good care of them. I can feel that they are much happier now than before, thanks to you."

"I toast to you for taking on my share of filial piety."

Her biological father passed away when she was ten. Jennie struggled alone to raise her until she was fifteen when she met Hugo. Hugo treated her like his own daughter, even after he and Jennie had Zackary and adopted Amber. He never neglected her.

Because she worked in a confidential department, leaving work required approval, so she rarely came back and found it hard to care for them.

Tina's smile was charming. "Alright! I'll accept this toast! But I'll use tea instead of wine."

"Fine!" Elsa didn't insist and drank her wine in one gulp.

After dinner, Elsa put down her chopsticks and seriously said to Hugo, "Dad! Mom! I came back this time not only to see you but also because we have been reassigned to Ashbury."

Hugo and Jennie were stunned. "To Ashbury? Why so suddenly? You didn't mention it before," they exclaimed.

"It was a last-minute decision by the leadership. I'll probably come back even less often now," Elsa said apologetically. "Please take good care of yourselves while I'm away."
