Hannah’s eyes were scheming.

Ava nodded with a light laugh. “Mom, I know!”

She showed Hannah her phone as she answered. The chat was full of her texts to Cordelia. Other than daily greetings, there were random things she shared throughout the day as well.

It was just that it usually took about 20 texts from her in exchange for an indifferent “Mm” from Cordelia.

Hannah furrowed her brows again as she browsed the chat. She thought that it was not enough.

“Ava, why are you texting her these useless things all the time?”

Ava widened her eyes. “Didn’t you ask me to get close to her and be her only friend in the family…”

“Are you stupid!?” Hannah emphasized. “It’s true that I’ve asked you to pander to her, but I want you to say useful things!”

“Useful things?”

“A man is the loneliest when the woman’s pregnant!” Hannah spoke confidently. “You should ask about where Zephyr is and what he’s doing when you chat with her! Silly girl, do I have to teach you everything?”

Ava ducked her head, smiling with pink cheeks.

She liked Zephyr. They were not related by blood, so she had never hidden the fact that she liked him. It was just that her feelings could not exactly be known openly as they were cousins in title.

This was not what Hannah thought. In her opinion, no man could not be snatched, just like how there was none who would not cheat.

Back then, she married into the Bakers with her daughter and was caught in heavy criticism. She also knew that she would not have been able to get into the Bakers if Noah was not mentally challenged. It was because he was mentally handicapped that her ulterior intention was clear.

She had been holding the grudge back. She had sworn to make her daughter marry gloriously and strut the red carpet as an award-winning actress—she wanted her to be successful! She wanted every Baker who had mocked her, despised her, and insulted her to have a good look that she and her daughter would be superior to them one day!
