Rebirth of Billionaire's Wife (Eveline)

Chapter 285 285: They want to meet mom

Everyone flocked around Erna, gazing at her as if she were the sixth wonder. It felt like an illusion to see her seated in front of them alive.

No one spoke as they processed what they were seeing until someone broke the stillness.

"Aunt Erna, do you know who I am?" Everyone looked at Stefan, and he gave them an innocent facial expression.

Pak!

"You think she has lost her memories to not recognize you, Stefan?" Nancy slapped her son for asking such a silly statement.

Erna never forgot about them, and no matter how long it had been, she could recognise the youngsters with her eyes closed.

"Ah...Mom I was simply trying to help, okay. You guys aren't saying anything, and when I say something, you slap me," Stefan complained, massaging his face, which had turned red from the impact of her fingers.

"Aww, my poor baby, come here, Aunt Erna will scold your mother for hurting you." Stefan's eyes welled up with tears as he dashed to her bed and hugged her.

"Be careful, young man," Jonathan cautioned from the side, and Stefan reluctantly pulled back.

"Oh, I'm sorry," he said, his eyes flooded with tears.

Stefan loved Erna as much as he did Belle, and he felt like he was losing a piece of himself the day he found out about Erna's passing.

However, for Eveline, he swallowed his anguish and resolved to be the responsible brother Erna had always desired, seeking for her whenever she needed him.

"Honestly, you youngsters haven't grown up. You still cry a lot, Stefan." Erna joked about lightening the mood.

"Aunt Erna, do you know me?" This time it was Daniel who raised his hand like a kid in attendance, only to be met with a sneer from Stefan.

"What? Don't stare at me that way, okay? I was only one, so it's improbable she remembers me." Daniel exclaimed, challenging Stefan's icy stare, and his gaze returned to Erna.

"I know you, Daniel. In reality, I never forget anyone. Jonathan always kept me informed about everyone of you." Erna smiled, motioning for Daniel to sit next to her.
