Reckless Marriage Unyielding Love

Chapter 147

Winona looked at her brother with a mix of frustration and disappointment.

Mildred, listening to her daughter's words, chose not to interfere. She didn't think her son was entirely wrong; it was just the nature of children. Huxley lacked a bit of maturity.

Of course, as a mother, she could only silently watch over them, knowing well that both of her children were precious to her. Mildred decided to stay quiet.

"Winona, I have plenty of ways to make Salvatore Group thrive," Huxley insisted. Once he got that position, he was sure he could steer the company in the right direction with his vision and determination.

"Look, Huxley, I know you're smart. But I've got things I need to handle in my own way. Before we can think about making Salvatore Group great, we need to get it back first. So, you'll need to learn a bit of patience," Winona said, half coaxing and half instructing him. "Fine," Huxley reluctantly agreed.

Seeing her brother relent, Winona glanced around to ensure they were alone, then turned to Mildred. "What has Thalia been up to lately?" she asked.

"She went to visit a classmate. There's some sort of reunion. She'll be back today or tomorrow," Mildred replied.

"Alright," Winona said thoughtfully. "Once she's back, keep her at home. I'll call her in a couple of days."

"Did you find a job for her?" Mildred inquired.

Winona's eyes drifted to the garden outside, where the newlywed couple was enjoying their time.

"I'll talk to you about it later," she said.

After dinner, which extended until twilight, Logan's family didn't linger. Once they left, a palpable sense of relief washed over everyone at the Salvatore manor.

Every time Logan visited, the atmosphere tensed up as if an emperor was inspecting his domain. The staff of the Salvatore manor dreaded his presence. If Logan was displeased, he'd often get Jorge to fire someone on the spot. If not, he'd make sure to question why they were still employed the next time he visited.

In short, no one liked their visits.

After Logan's family departed, Carlos and Mikayla left. Sylvia even packed some of Mikayla's favorite snacks for them.

The black car cruised down the streets of Xosa. Spring had arrived, and the days were getting noticeably longer. The city was slowly coming to life again after the cold winter.

Mikayla rolled down the window, gazing at the bustling streets of Xosa, taking in the fresh spring air.
