At this point, Beverly could barely contain her temper. Her tone became sharper as she said, “Teri, come over to me right now!”

Seeing this, Rachel beside her said softly, “Mrs. Storm, the child might just be shy and needs. proper guidance. Let me try.”

Beverly’s furrowed brow relaxed. “I almost forgot. Rachel has studied child psychology extensively. She might be able to help with Teri’s problems!”

Zaden’s expression darkened. Teri’s issues had developed later in life.

If it hadn’t been for what happened back then…

He could tolerate outsiders saying Teri was troubled. But hearing it from his own mother made him furious.

Rachel sat down next to Teri. She put on a gentle smile as she said softly, “Teri, I’m Rachel. Would you like to be friends with me?”

Teri remained unmoved, still clinging to Zaden and refusing to respond.

Rachel then pulled out a doll. She said to Teri, “I have a beautiful doll here. Want to play together?”

Teri still refused to acknowledge her.

Rachel held the doll up to Teri and said, “How about I give you this doll as a present?”

Zaden watched Rachel trying to win Teri over with a thoughtful expression.

Actually, no one else knew that Teri didn’t like these kinds of things at all. It was only during the few days she spent with Athena that he discovered Teri’s talent was actually drawing.

This was something he had never known before. It was Athena who had brought it out.

Not everyone could get along with Teri the way Athena did.

Just as Zaden was lost in thought, Rachel tried to pull Teri over to her. But Teri struggled violently. She accidentally knocked the doll from Rachel’s hands to the floor.

Then Teri’s emotions exploded as she screamed and cried nonstop,

“Go away! Don’t touch me! Athena never forces me to do anything! Get away from me!”

Rachel stood there awkwardly, stunned. She never expected Teri’s reaction to be so intense. She had only wanted to get closer to her.

But who is this Athena she mentioned?

Could Zaden have another woman?

“Enough!” Beverly’s patience was completely exhausted. She said sternly, “This child must be sent away! The Storms cannot have a child like this. If outsiders found out, how could the Storms ever live it down?”

Zaden stood up and reached out to pick up Teri.

Once Teri was in her father’s arms, she clung to him desperately. She was unwilling to let go even a little.

Zaden said softly, “There’s nothing wrong with Teri. If you can’t stand her, then I won’t bring her back here again.”

He left without hesitation, carrying Teri with him.

Beverly was absolutely furious. She slammed her hand on the table and cursed angrily.

She never expected Zaden to be so protective of this illegitimate child!

་་

“Mrs. Storm, he’s just … ” Rachel looked pitifully at Beverly, her face absolutely heartbroken.

Beverly took a deep breath and suppressed the rage in her heart.

She gently patted the back of Rachel’s hand in comfort. “Don’t worry about it. Don’t take Zaden’s attitude to heart–that’s just how he is.

“Once

you start working at the hospital and spend more time with him to develop feelings, things will naturally be different. I’ll arrange what I promised you as soon as possible, so don’t worry!”

Hearing this, Rachel brightened up.

But thinking about what had just happened and Teri’s words, she asked with some concern, “Mrs. Storm, who is this Athena that Teri was calling for? She seems to trust Athena a lot.”

Rachel bit her lip. She was actually worried that Zaden had another woman.

How could she get close to him then?
