Chapter 517

My parents’ transformation brought me immense joy, and with it, a significant reduction in my psychological stress.

By the time I woke up, it was already a sunny afternoon. My mom hadn’t gone to work and there was now a nanny in the house – someone she hired early in the morning to look

after the children.

As for Eliza, she had to accompany me back to Rosemont today.

“Rena, remember to consult me no matter what happens, okay? Don’t shoulder everything. on your own.” Mom advised me solemnly before I left.

“Okay, Mom. Please take care of Serena and Brandon for me. I’ll deal with things on my end as quickly as I can and then come back.” I looked at the two kids playing in their crib, feeling reluctant to leave them. But I knew this was for their safety.

My mom’s expression was serious. “I definitely will, don’t worry.”

I went over and gave Serena a kiss, then Brandon, before reluctantly getting into the car to leave.

In the rear-view mirror, I saw my mom holding Brandon at the front door, watching me as her figure gradually shrank in the distance. That was when I noticed that this little old lady had started to stoop a little. She seemed shorter than in her youth. It was said that people shrink as they age – my mom was aging too, but she still had to worry about work and

about me.

My nose twitched, and I felt a wave of sadness.

In that moment, all I wanted was to quickly resolve everything so I could live with my parents and the kids, free of worries and enjoying life. Having family and friends was enough for me!

When I returned to Rosemont, it was again late at night.

Stella and the others were already asleep. Hearing me return, Stella sleepily got up and asked, “Rena, have you had dinner yet?”

“I’ve eaten, you go ahead and sleep!” I answered while changing my shoes.

“Alright, I’m beat. I’m going to bed.” Stella could barely keep her eyes open, yet she still had to get up to make sure I’d eaten. I was touched, considering she wasn’t even my mother.
