Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 864

Jason caught Natalie's anxious gaze and quickly stepped in to ease the tension, "Mom, Natalie and I are on the same page. A happy resolution is definitely the best outcome!" "Yeah, I just want everything to be peaceful and harmonious for Ludwik's family."

Camilla sneaked a glance at Natalie, and well, she couldn't be more pleased.

She worried endlessly about Jason's future, fearing he'd end up lonely in his later years. Having a kind-hearted and understanding woman like Natalie by his side gave her peace of mind. Natalie, with her good nature, had stepped in during their toughest times to purchase the Lippert Resort.

This gesture of kindness was well known among the Lipperts.

With a chuckle, Camilla said, tapping her cane, "Isn't that the truth? All us elders want is to see our children and grandchildren happy. Ludwik, Whitney, please don't give us any more worries." Whitney, speechless, firmly clarified, "Camilla, there's really nothing between Ludwik and me..."

"Not getting back together then? Well, you're here to pick up the kids, but you might as well stay for dinner," Camilla warmly invited. "You haven't visited me in a while, and I did help you out back in the day." That was true.

From their first meeting, Camilla had shown Whitney kindness.

And over time, she'd become fond of Danny, now even embracing Whitney's two sons.

Danny exclaimed, "Mommy! You should come in. The Lipperts treat us like royalty here. Great-grandma even feeds me and Sammy herself, and Grandpa buys us snacks and toys that even Justin doesn't get to play with. And Aunt Heidi Lippert, who used to be cold to me, is now super nice."

It was unexpected. After a downfall that forced them out of their grand manor into this modest house, the once divided Lippert family had found harmony.

This new atmosphere made Whitney more comfortable leaving her kids here.

With a smile, she ruffled her sons' hair and followed them inside.
