Edward arrived just in time to catch Holden’s words, his eyebrows instantly furrowing. “You seem to be yearning for trouble, do you?”

Holden recognized Edward’s voice immediately, and his previous stubborn demeanor vanished, replaced by a cheerful smile. “Dad, what brings you here?”

“If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have heard you spouting such nonsense,” Edward replied.

“Dad, I was just kidding,” Holden reassured him.

Edward ignored him and approached Olive, his expression softening slightly. “Mom, the Jackson family has arrived.”

Elysia had mentioned the Jackson family briefly before, but they only knew that she considered them as godparents.

Upon hearing this news, Olive’s face lit up with pleasure. “Alright, quickly invite them in,” she said. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she glanced at Edward and reminded him, “Don’t stand there looking like the world owes you a favor.”

This was far more uncomfortable for Edward than actually being in debt. He had never anticipated that his beloved Elysia had found another set of parents. It felt like his daughter was being taken away from him, and naturally, his mind was unsettled.

In contrast to Edward’s reaction, Elysia’s face beamed with joy, surprised by how swiftly everything had unfolded. Noticing Edward’s discomfort, she quickly took his hand, her smile fading as she cautiously inquired, “Dad, you’re not upset with me for accepting this, are you?”

Elysia’s pitiful expression nearly melted Edward’s heart, especially when he heard the guilt and sadness in her voice. Edward felt even more upset and quickly assured her, “Elysia, don’t worry about it. I am really happy for you! It’s just that I’m not quite ready to accept it yet.”

Edward’s words were clearly contradictory to his feelings. Nobody believed it. But nobody dared to say anything.
