Chapter 481 You’re Not Nervous Anymore Are You
She let
tout a small huff and turned her face away.
The car soon
pulled up to the top of the hill. The first thing that came into view was the <b>expansive </b><b>horse </b>ranch.

Not far off <b>stood </b>a magnificent <b>castle</b>, from a distance, it looked like it touched the sky. Just looking at it stirred a sense of longing….
That was the Dawson mansion. The Dawson family’s ce in Falvaria <b>was </b><b>just </b>like the position of that castlemanding. absolute.
As the motorcade approached, the electronic gates slowly opened after scanning the vehicle. A row of security personnel in ck uniforms <b>stood </b><b>at </b>attention, a visual reminder of how difficult it was for anyone to get past this threshold.
The car drove for another five minutes before finally pulling up in front of the castle’s grand entrance.
The butler was already there, <b>nked </b>by a line of maids, all standing respectfully. When the car stopped, the butler stepped forward and opened the door with a bow.
“Mr. Abraham. Ms. Dawson”
Abraham got out first, then extended his hand into <b>the </b>car.
Ste looked at his broad, steady palm before gently cing her small hand into it.
With a light pull, he helped her out of the car.
The butler, who usually kept his emotions in check, couldn’t help the redness that welled up in his eyes the moment he <b>saw </b>Ste.
“Miss, you’re finally home. These past few years without you… something’s always felt missing.”
Ste greeted him sweetly, “James.”
James, the butler, was already in his fifties.
<b>At </b><b>her </b>greeting, he gave <b>a </b><b>soft </b>smile. “Let’s go in. Madam has already returned<b>.</b>”
Ste nodded.
Abraham <b>reached </b>out to adjust her coat, but she said, “I’m not cold.”
Falvaria’s weather was much warmer than Rivermount’s–Rivermount was truly freezing
Abraham took her hand and led her inside.
Along the way, the staff greeted them one after another. Seeing that Ste had really returned, most of them looked genuinely happy.
Back when Ste lived here, she had always treated the staff kindly, so many of them had grown fond of her.
There were a few exceptions–those who looked down on her because she was adopted.
Still, because of the way Abraham and the entire Dawson family treated Ste, even those withints <b>dared </b>not speak
Some had even been bribed by other heiresses to try and trip Ste up–but in the end, they were either chased off by Abraham or Evelyn.
They passed the main entrance…
Then walked for several more minutes until they reached the private vi where Evelyn spent most of her time.

As soon as they stepped inside, the smell of food filled the air, instantly whetting Ste’s appetite.

Evelyn’s voice rang out, “I don’t even know if Star <b>still </b>likes this stuff. That rascal Abraham said her tastes have changed since living in Rivermount.”
“As long as Madam prepared it, Miss will definitely love it,” Harper said reassuringly. “No matter how much her taste changed out there, nothing beats home.”
Harper was the maid in the Dawson mansion
Evelyn agreed, “Exactly. Home is still the best. And seriously–<b>what </b>kind of people are those in Rivermount? I can’t even stand to let <b>Star </b>suffer the tiniest bit, and they nearly got her killed.”
By the time she said <b>that </bst part, Evelyn’s voice carried a sharp edge of anger.
“Alright, Madam<b>,</b><b>” </b>Harper <b>said </b>gently. “Didn’t you and Mr. Abraham already give them what they deserved? Totally wrecked
them.”
“I’m still mad.”
“Yes, Ms. Dawson really went through hell this time.”
Harper’s voice was full of sympathy.
Evelyn added. “Exactly. Thank goodness <b>that </b>little head of hers is smart–didn’t fall for any of those losers out there. At least her taste in men is still top–notch.”
“That’s for sure.” Harper said. “Mr. Abraham has kept Ms. Dawson <b>in </b>the palm of his hand all these years–how <b>could </b>she possibly look <b>at </b>anyone else?”
That finally made Evelyn smile.
“Well then<b>, </b>all those years Abraham spent taking care of her weren’t wasted.”
The two of them continued chatting in Falvarian,
On the way back, Ste had been worrying about how to talk to her mother about her <b>and </b>Abraham
But now, hearing the conversation between Evelyn and Harper, all her concerns vanished.
Abraham looked over at her. “Not nervous anymore?
Ste <b>nodded</b>. “Not at all.”
If Mom’s saying all that, what is there to be nervous about?
All she had <b>to </b>do was admit fault and y sweet–that always worked.
This was the Dawson family. This was what home <b>meant </b>to Ste…
Ever since she was little, no matter what she did wrong, she always believed <b>that </b><b>as </b>long as she admitted her mistake <b>and </b>softened her tone, things could be resolved.
It wasn’t like the Reed family in Rivermount.
Back there, she had beenpletely unprepared for all the scheming
Over time, she realized, those people who called themselves family were something else entirely.
Evelyn and Harper were still talking.
“Do you think Star will like this dish? What about <b>that </b>one!”
