The door opened, and the baby’sughter instantly filled the room.
Yvonne’s eyes lit up, and she dashed to the bathroom faster than Mnie. She washed her hands and changed her clothes, all in one go.
Then, she entered the room and took the few–month–old baby from the nanny’s hands while saying, “Merry, look who I am. Aren’t I your clever and beautiful sister, Yvonne?”
Meredith could not understand, but she responded well.
She pped her hands vigorously, delighted beyond words.
Yvonne loved it and nted several kisses on her face.
Mnie also came over to see Meredith. Upon seeing her, the little one gurgled and waved her hands as if asking to be held.
Mnie took her, fed her, and then put the little one to sleep.
Yvonne sighed softly. “She’s so adorable. Thanks to your good genes, you have such a beautiful little baby.”
Mnie replied, “You can have one too.”
Yvonne resisted. “I’d rather not. I like painless motherhood. You know, having two mothers for little Merry should be fine. Since she doesn’t have a dad, having one extra mommy is great—”
“}
However, before she could finish her sentence<b>, </b>Yvonne realized she had misspoken and quickly
coughed to cover it up.
“But…” After clearing her throat, Yvonne continued, “Are you nning to raise her alone?”
Scratching her head, she added, “It must be tough being a single mom and providing for the family. Wouldn’t it be easier with a man helping out? You could marry someone willing to ept Merry.”
Mnie retorted without much thought, <b>“</b><b>I </b>can just hire a nanny.”
Yvonne said, “There are many good men <b>in </b>the world. What if-”
However, Mnie grabbed her bag and left. She had an appointment in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, Mnie attended a salon event, essentially an afternoon tea for wealthydies. In reality, it was for exchanging information.
Social activities for wives, much like diplomatic events and cocktail parties, were essentially the same.
During her time in Nava, Mnie managed to join the social circle. Unexpectedly, she saw the owner
<b>of </b>Sunshade at this salon.
The intricate rtionship between Sunshade and the Solder family was known to most people in the
Nava circle.
After contemting, Mnie greeted her. The woman was rtively young. She responded with a
smile.
Mnie had been to Solder Group several times before and encountered Lilia Solder. They exchanged pleasantries before Lilia walked away.
However, Mnie never expected to hear the news that LeapCo nned toe <i>to </i>Nava.
One of thedies asked, “Ms. Lilia, I heard LeapCo is interested in coborating with Solder Group. Is that true?”
Lilia smiled. “Is it? I’ll ask Mr. Solder when I go back.”
“My friend is in Jepton, and she heard Mr. Scott has two sons. One is the legitimate heir, and the other is the illegitimate one. Eugene is young, talented, and capable.
“My daughter isn’t young anymore. I want to wait for Eugene toe to Nava and ask my husband to see if he’ll date my daughter.”
Her words causedughter, and someone retorted, “How can you expect to get a good deal? You’re praising him so much. Maybe he’s already married.”
“How would I know if I don’t try?”
Mnie, holding her teacup, listened quietly. She had no intention of participating in these discussions.
However, someone mentioned to her, “Ms. Smith, you’re also from Jepton. Maybe you’ve had some contact with Eugene. Is he married?”
Mnie sipped her tea, smiled slightly, and nodded, “I’m not very sure, but I’ve heard news about his engagement.”
Eugene and Evelyn were probably already engaged. They might even be married by now.
Hearing Mnie’s words, the woman who wanted to introduce her daughter immediately felt dejected.
Mnie did not say anything more. She sipped her tea with a calm smile and ignored the chatters
around her.
