Molly Walker grinned and laughed lightly, her laughter as clear as a spring, enchanting people.
“The past is behind me, and I must start a new life for my family,” she said.
Her slender fingers inadvertently brushed her lower abdomen.
Under his sunglasses, Zachary Jenkins’ gaze was ambiguous, and his smooth fair-skinned face showed distinct coldness.
New life, what a new life.
“Miss Thompson doesn’t seem to have considered Michael Gallagher at all – he died for you after all. The way you quickly moved on to a new relationship is so chilling ”
Molly glanced at him contemptuously and smiled charmingly, “Mr. Jenkins, did you know my ex-husband? You sympathize so much for him that I almost thought he came back to life!”
She covered her mouth and laughed lightly, like an innocent child.
Zachary Jenkins’ eyes deepened, and the temperature around him seemed to drop instantly.
Molly walked out the door, the corner of her eyes slightly curved, naughty as a little devil.
When she returned to the Thompson family, Daniel Thompson had already arrived.
Perhaps it was due to guilt, but as soon as Daniel returned, he went to apologize to Amanda Leaford.
With their baby present, and since they were soon going to the Capital City, Amanda didn’t bother holding a grudge against him and even responded briefly.
As he saw Amanda’s changed attitude, Daniel’s face burst into a smile, and his mood visibly improved.
Molly stepped in lightly, and Daniel’s smile froze, becoming instantly tense.
“Did you finish the errand?” Amanda asked, laughing, “What happened that made you so worried you couldn’t even eat your meal?”
Daniel stared intently at Molly, his lips moving as if he was worried she would say something.
Molly glanced at Daniel and chuckled inwardly.
Even if she didn’t say anything, today’s events would be spread sooner or later by someone with ulterior motives.
Ignoring Daniel’s warning gaze, she said to Amanda, “It wasn’t a big deal.”
Daniel finally breathed a sigh of relief, his whole body relaxing.
He and Ivy Thompson were not on good terms, so he was genuinely afraid she might unintentionally reveal something.
Although they had already eaten lunch, Daniel ate all of Amanda’s braised pork in order to make her happy.
Seeing this, Molly couldn’t help but find it amusing.
Soon it was time to go to the airport. Daniel personally sent them off, and as they were checking their tickets, a familiar figure ran towards them.
It was Gillian Thompson.
“Dad, Mom, brother, second brother, third brother, sister, are you all going to the Capital City too?”
Seeing them pushing their bags, Gillian looked surprised.
Since Gillian had just seen her at noon, Amanda turned her head away, not saying a word.
Remembering that he had seen her at lunch, Daniel coughed awkwardly, “I’m not going, I’m just sending your mom and your brothers.”
“Are you on the same flight as me? Maybe we can go together!” Gillian exclaimed enthusiastically.
Amanda frowned and looked at Nicholas Thompson. fr𝐞𝐞𝚠e𝗯𝗻ovel.c𝐨m
Nicholas smiled helplessly, “We’re on a different flight.”
Gillian’s smile didn’t waver, but her fingers clenched tightly.
“Are you going to see grandpa and grandma? When I get to the Capital City, I will also make time to see them,” she remembered that the Leaford family had been good to her, especially her grandparents and uncles, treating her like their own granddaughter and niece. She had a good relationship with her cousins as well.
“No need,” Amanda said coldly, cutting her off, “After your grandparents found out about the things you’ve done, they specifically told me not to let you step foot in their house.”
Gillian’s face flushed red with embarrassment.
Amanda took Molly’s hand, “It’s almost time, let’s go in.”
Damian and the others nodded slightly to Gillian, pushing their luggage into the ticket checkpoint.
Gillian stood there helplessly.
Daniel Thompson saw her embarrassment and thought of what happened at noon, he whispered to her: “Gabriel, my affair with Phoebe Belmont ”
As soon as she met his warning gaze, Gillian Thompson immediately reacted. Daniel was warning her not to tell the other Thompson family members about it.
“Don’t worry, Dad. Phoebe already told me about your relationship with her, and I won’t say a word to anyone,” she replied.
“Okay.” Daniel Thompson nodded, handing her a premium credit card, “Go to school and study hard, don’t worry about money.”
Seeing the card, Gillian Thompson was so excited that her hands trembled.
The credit limit on the card was hundreds of thousands of dollars, more than enough for her to live comfortably in Capital City.
“Thank you, Dad.” Gillian Thompson happily accepted the card.
On the plane, in the first-class cabin
Amanda Leaford sat next to Molly Walker and introduced her to each member of the Leaford family.
“Your grandparents have a significant reputation in Capital City. After hearing about your arrival, they insisted on having a family reunion banquet for you. Apart from relatives, many people from other companies in Capital City may also attend to celebrate, especially the Norman family. This time, you’ll definitely meet your future in-laws, whom you didn’t see last time.”
“I know you don’t like attending these banquets, but for the sake of your grandparents’ happiness, please cooperate.”
Molly Walker remained silent.
She had to cooperate, specifically with Jeremy Norman.
She knew that her marriage to Jeremy Norman would definitely cause a sensation in the entire Capital City business circle.
“By the way, the Jenkins family’s illegitimate child is also back, and Mr. Jenkins seems to like him very much. At the banquet, your brothers will take care of the men. You just need to smile by the side.”
The Jenkins family?
Molly Walker was stunned. In the Capital City circle, the most famous family was the Jenkins family. She didn’t expect that even the return of their illegitimate child would be such a big deal.
After getting off the plane, they checked into a hotel because it was late. The next morning, the Leaford family sent someone to pick them up.
The car slowly drove into a large mansion, smaller than the Thompson family mansion, but this was a prime location in Capital City, where even a small house would be worth a fortune, let alone a mansion in this area.
As soon as the car stopped, Molly Walker saw two old people walking quickly towards them.
An old man was leaning on a dragon head crutch, wearing a Tang suit embroidered with golden dragons. Despite his white hair, his eyes were lively and spirited, not looking like an eighty-year-old man at all.
There was also an old woman beside him, her black hair obviously dyed and coiled on top of her head. She was wrapped in a long windbreaker, her face kind and gentle.
At a glance, Molly Walker could tell that these were her grandparents.
Blood ties were a wondrous thing. The moment she saw them, she felt a sense of intimacy.
“Ivy is this my Ivy?” Mrs. Leaford, her eyes brimming with tears, grabbed Molly Walker’s hand. “Twenty years you’ve been missing for twenty years, and your mother has gone mad for twenty years.”
“It’s me, Grandma. I’m sorry, I should have found you sooner.” Molly Walker’s eyes welled up with tears.
She was to blame for the late reunion. If not for her reluctance to search for her biological parents, they wouldn’t have been separated for so many years.
“Child, it’s not your fault.” Mrs. Leaford looked at Amanda Leaford, her eyes already streaming with tears.
“Mom, it’s a great day, why are you crying?” Amanda Leaford frowned.
To her surprise, her words only made Mrs. Leaford cry harder.
“She’s been mad for so many years, and now that she sees you’re well, she’s just crying from happiness.” Mr. Leaford explained with a serious face, but his eyes were also red.
He never expected to witness his daughter’s recovery, and their family reunited during his lifetime.
“Hurry up, don’t just stand there. Go inside, your uncles are waiting for you inside.”
As Mr. Leaford led them towards the house, just as they reached the door, a loud noise erupted from inside.
“I never thought that Daniel Thompson would have the nerve to do such a shameless thing at his age!”
An angry man’s voice sounded.
Everyone outside the door stopped upon hearing these words.
Mrs. Leaford looked at Amanda Leaford in confusion, just as she was about to ask what had happened, the man inside smashed the cup in his hand and cursed:
“Screw their eight generations! Bloody hell, he’s actually raising a mistress for me!”
