Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks by Caspian Wood

Chapter 591

The moon was bright and the stars sparse, with the occasional croak of frogs and the chirp of cicadas.

The Jarrett residence, under the cover of night, looked like an ordinary household courtyard. The lights were a warm yellow, the aroma of coffee filled the air, and casual conversation could be heard from the living room, accompanied by laughter.

Tonight, Arthur had finished his official duties and had some free time, so he had come back. Lucas, Mary, Arthur, Jean, and Mateo were sitting in the living room chatting, and the conversation mostly revolved around the news of Cherise’s

pregnancy.

Jean, also puzzled by Mary’s attitude, asked, “What’s going on, Grandma? Shouldn’t we be happy about Morris and Cherise having a baby? You don’t sound right.”

“Take Arthur, for example–sure, you’re in that position, and your focus shouldn’t be on other things, but you already have a kid, and your mom’s here too. You should at least show some acknowledgment, right?

“Look at me–I can’t even get to see a grandchild. It’s so heartbreaking.”

guess, son? As expected of the manager of Clusia, you’re right. I did meet her,

excited as she spoke, sitting down beside Arthur. “She’s really stunning, so graceful and elegant, and very interesting. She has such a fascinating soul, I really liked her when I saw her”
