Chapter 188

After giving the child some candy, she gently reminded, "Remember to brush your teeth after finishing the candy. Don't eat too much each time, and try to have less

at night."

The child, savoring the sweetness, beamed with delight and softly promised, "Okay, Mom."

With the candy still in her mouth, Mila placed another pack into the storage box. This one was Adrian's favorite flavor.

As the time to leave approached, a wave of sadness washed over her. The troubles back home were overwhelming, and it seemed impossible for her to return anytime soon. Her plans to fly back frequently to visit Adrian and her mother-in-law were now dashed.

She wondered when she would see them again.

Just earlier, while in the store, she had drifted into a daydream and absentmindedly picked out a large bag of Adrian's favorite sweets. The slight pang in her heart as she paid was hard to ignore.

Her lawyer had repeatedly advised her to avoid meeting with the Montgomery family before the court hearing, to prevent any complications.

Once everything concluded tomorrow, she planned to ask her lawyer to pass the candy to Adrian. After all, she hadn't heard from Adrian in recent days and wasn't sure if he even wanted to see her. They were pressed for time, leaving no opportunity for a visit.
