Chapter 529 Grandpa’s Discipline
That morning, Abraham had done her hair into a little bun.
Now, her small head poked out from behind the door–obedient and adorable.
Madam L, facing the entrance, froze for a second when she saw Ste peek out, then smiled and called out, “Ste?”
Mr. Faust turned his head as well.
But seeing that tiny head with bangs clipped up by a pink barrette, and hearing her softly call
out-
“Grandpa, Grandma.” That soft and sweet voice could melt anyone’s heart.
Madam L responded warmly and quickly walked over in her qipao, full of affection.
“This child, when did you get here?”
As she spoke, she took Ste’s hand. “Why are you alone? Where’s Abraham?”
Weren’t they supposed toe together?
“Something came up with Marie. Abraham went to deal with it.”

“Shouldn’t you call him something more deary?” Madam L gave her a yful look.

The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In
Ste bit her lip and looked down, not answering.
“You really shouldn’t call him Abraham anymore, alright?” Madam L said gently.
“I’m just used to it…”
“Well, that habit has to change. He’ll be your husband soon.”
Madam L’s tone was sincere and affectionate.
Even when Ste and Abraham were still in Rivermount, Lorette had already started preparing the wedding.

Neither the Dawson family nor the Luke family needed any marriage alliance to strengthen their standing in Falvaria.
Ste had been raised under the guidance of both families since she was little.
In the beginning, they probably didn’t have that kind of n in mind.
But as Ste grew older, her dependence on Abraham–and Abraham’s feelings for her–were crystal clear to all the elders.
So over time, the direction of her upbringing shifted.
At first, they treated her like Marie. Later, they raised her as the future matriarch of the Dawson family.
Hearing Madam L’s words, Ste mumbled, “Got it.”
“You’re so spoiled. But no matter how strong a woman is, in front of her husband, she should be soft and sweet.”
Madam L added.
They had investigated her life in Rivermount as soon as Abraham found her.
They were pleased with what they saw–strong and never taken advantage of. That’s exactly what they’d hoped to nurture in her.
But when she touched Ste’s cold hand, she frowned. “Why are your hands so cold? Abraham really… he should’ve made sure you dressed warmer. You absolutely can’t catch a cold right
now,”
Getting sick during pregnancy was miserable. There were so many medications she couldn’t take.

“I’m wearing plenty.”
Three years on the run–there was no way she’d get out of this without a scolding.
Mr. Faust was ring at Ste with a stern expression, like he wanted to eat her alive.
Truthfully, everyone had been worried she’d gotten hurt out there.
Even though theyter confirmed she had held her ground in Rivermount, those three years had still been filled with anxiety and fear for the family.
The moment she met his stern gaze, Ste immediately looked away. “I know I was wrong.”
“Hmph. Hiding? Why don’t you go hide some more? You let one Derrick scare you that badly? So spineless<b>.” </b>
But it wasn’t just Derrick back then.

There were plenty of enemies watching the Dawson family, ready to pounce.
Even the slightest distraction from Abraham could’ve been a disaster.
She’d really been terrified…

Mr. Faust snapped, “What was the name of that Rivermount family again?”
“Reed.”
“Not that one,” he red.
The Reed family? Please.

The way they treated Ste–if she still acknowledged them after everything, that meant her entire upbringing had been a failure.

“The Keene family?”
“Hmph.”
Just hearing that name made Mr. Faust scoff again. “If that precious little thing of his hadn’te back, would you really have married him?”
Just thinking about how the wedding was only a week away made Mr. Faust’s chest ache with
anger.
Ste lowered her head and muttered, “She was always going toe back.”

Still, it was the truth. Ste had been sure Lilian would rush back to stop the wedding.
Even if she didn’t make it in time, Ste had backup ns in ce to guarantee she would.
She’d positioned herself perfectly.
All the bacsh had gone to the Keene and Reed families.
During that time, the public opinionpletely buried Lilian and Ethan. If morality was being handed out, Ste wasn’t about to take the me.
