Chapter 488

Victoria asked Gwyneth to go change her clothes, then helped Haley get the twins' diapers changed.

It was Haley's first time meeting the little lady and young master, and she was absolutely smitten. She already saw Victoria's children as her own grandkids.

The fact that Gwyneth had followed Victoria back to the Turner estate genuinely surprised Haley, though it was a happy surprise.

When Haley saw Emily, she was nearly moved to tears.

"Miss, you're alive," she choked out.

Haley had long assumed Emily and Edith were gone for good. She never dreamed she'd see Emily again in her lifetime.

Emily smiled warmly. "Haley, you're still as spirited as ever. Knowing you're here taking care of Vicky puts me at ease."

Even though Emily had spent those years bedridden, Victoria had kept her updated about everything at home, always mentioning how devoted Haley was.

Both Emily and Victoria trusted Haley implicitly. Emily knew she was loyal to the Turners, and Victoria felt completely at ease bringing her children back home.

Ever since Emily's return, everything connected to the Simms family had been cleared out of the estate-down to changing the entry code.

While Emily and Haley chatted, Victoria's phone rang. She stepped aside to take the call, not wanting to intrude on her aunt's reunion with Haley.
