‘Am I really that gullible? Just a few nice words and she thinks I’ll call her Mom? Well, I guess Catlin never really tried to wiss me over, Stephanie thought.

Ever since she arrived in Long Harbor, Olivia’s behavior had been so strange–always pulling some stunt or another.

Even when Stephanie was in the hospital for two months, Catlin would only drop by every few days. She’d only stay for about 10 minutes and leave.

Catlin’s attempts at being a mom were nothing like how Lottie did it. From the very start, Stephanie never considered Carlin her mom, and there was no way that was going to change,

Stephanie snuggled into Lottie’s arms again. “I wouldn’t do that.

Lottie heard that and felt a little better. She hugged Stephanie more tightly, humming, “Well, that’s good; the said in a proud tone.

If Stephanie had really called someone else “Mom,” Lottie wouldn’t have been happy. And if she started calling Catlin “Mom” and the Hart family kept treating her that way, Lottie would make sure to deal with them with no mercy.

Stephanie wrapped her arms around Lottie. “Mom, I missed you so much.”

“Miss me? Why didn’t you just come back?” Lottie’s voice became a little more serious when she talked about her coming back.

Lottie, even when she was younger, had never gone through anything like what Stephanie did.

The accident three years ago still haunted her. She lost her husband. Giovanni Group fell into chaos, and Sofia was kidnapped along with her. Stephanie vanished without a trace.

Her reproach faded away, and all she could say was, “You’re back. That’s what matters.”

After everything they’d been through, having the family back together was the most important thing.

After the two of them had been hugging for ten minutes, Sebastian couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped forward. “Alright, no more hugging.”

“You brat.” Lottie shot Sebastian a glare, not ready to let go yet.

Sebastian gently pulled Stephanie from her arms. “Stefi’s hungry.”

Stephanie realized she hadn’t eaten in a while.

When Lottie heard that Stephanie was hungry, she gasped, “So, you’re hungry, huh?”
