The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 512 "Thank you," Beatrice's voice came from behind just as Noelle was in the kitchen preparing a snack for Rosie.

Even though there were household staff and chefs in the villa, Noelle still preferred making Rosie's food herself.

Despite being in a new environment, Rosie adapted quickly. Noelle had spent the morning reading to her, and during lunch, she ate quietly without fuss. She even took her medicine without any tears or complaints. Now, she was upstairs sleeping.

Beatrice adored her but was careful not to overwhelm her with too much attention. Seeing Noelle take the time to make snacks, she couldn't help but speak up.

Noelle froze for a second, then turned to her with a puzzled look, unsure what she meant.

"You've raised Rosie well," Beatrice said.

"I'm her mother. That's what I'm supposed to do," Noelle said. "And she's my daughter, so you don't have to thank me for that."

The line Noelle drew was clear and firm.

Beatrice understood what she was saying right away. She also knew that, on the surface, Noelle had agreed to move into the villa, but in truth, it was nothing more than a tactical retreat.

She was well aware of Noelle's real intentions, so she simply went along with it.
