Chapter 46

The temperature dipped to about 21 degrees Fahrenheit that night, making the cold even more biting. A black car rolled up to a private mansion, owned by the Salvatore family. This wasn't as old as the Salvatore manor but a place Mikayla's great-grandfather had bought, and it became precious over time. Logan's family moved in after leaving the manor

When Mikayla's family trudged into the living room, braving the cold, they found Logan's family chatting and laughing, not even greeting them.

"Jaxon's parents were thrilled to hear I'm having a boy. Right, Jaxon?" Winona said with a sparkle in her eyes. It was unclear if she was saying this for Mikayla's benefit

"That's right. My parents are very happy. Actually, they'd love the baby whether it's a boy or a girl Jason replied, sitting next to Winona with his back to the entrance.

"Jorge, you're here! Why so late You kept everyone waiting Logan remarked with a slightly disapproving glance. He already had issues with Jorge arranging that job for his son and didn't really want to invite them. But when Winona insisted in front of his son-in-law, he couldn't argue too much

Jorge look off Sylvia's shawl and smiled, "Sorry, we got delayed on the way?

From the sidelines, Mildred felt a pang of jealousy as she watched Jorge being so attentive to Sylvia. It reminded her of Logan's sharp look the last time she mentioned Sylvia during a drive, after which Logan had slept in his study. Later, Huxley told her to stop dwelling on the past

She couldn't help it. Sylvia and Logan's past was a thom she couldn't remove. Why does Sylvia still have Jorge's undying affection even after everything? Isn't she a woman Logan discarded! I gave Logan a son and daughter but never got his affection: Mildred thought bitterly. She suppressed her anger and said softly, "You all carry on chatting. I'll ask the kitchen to serve the dishes." "Mikayla, come sit here. Winona said, patting the seat next to her. Her tone had lost the overbearing edge it had on the phone. She held onto Jaxon, marking her territory. Seeing how quickly Winona's moods could change, Mikayla thought. She could've been an Oscars contender. It's a pity her talent goes untapped:

She chose to sit alone and said, "I've had some bad luck lately. I'm afraid I might bring bad fortune to your unborn child!" If acting was required. she would play along Winona was stunned. Others might miss the underlying meaning in Mikayla's words, but she caught it. She ke
