Chapter 316
“I’m fine,” Ynda smiled, “As long as everyone enjoys the breakfast I made, I’m good.”
With that, she pretended to notice Attlee for the first time, smiling and saying, “Morning, Dad. I’ve
cooked up some grub for you and Mom. You haven’t tasted my culinary skills since we got back

As if to say, “Well done, girl! Look at your father; he’s about to cry!”
The surrounding nannies were also saying:
“Yoli’s really had a hard knock life! Had to deal with so much hardship from a young age, yet she’s so
mature and considerate. It’s heartbreaking! Thank heavens, Yoli’s back home now.”
“I reckon it’s because of Yoli’s outstanding qualities that fate brought her back here.
