Taking Back What My Sister Stole novel Chapter 313

Chapter313

Cecilia gently stroked his cheek, explaining Luciano and Fiona’s engagement in soft tones.

“Even though Mom and Dad aren’t together, you’re the one they love most.”

When Benjamin lived with Wesley, he never felt this fear of losing her.

After all, Cecilia and Wesley never discussed marriage in front of him, and she’d never mentioned him getting a new dad.

Victor had said everything to Luciano–what he should and shouldn’t have said.

Gwendolyn was still young and couldn’t grasp the complexities, only feeling that Luciano had abandoned her and her mother.

She was heartbroken.

“I want Mommy and Daddy.”

Cecilia held her, eyes stinging.

The car arrived at the Johnson estate.

Madam waited at the entrance herself. “Welcome home, Cilla.”

She’d prepared a gift for Gwendolyn–a puppy.

Though wary of strangers, Gwendolyn hesitated shyly at the sight of the dog.

With the third Johnson lady coaxing her gently, she soon brightened up and ran off to play with the puppy.

“Thank you, Grandma.”

Cecilia murmured her gratitude to Madam.

Gifting a puppy showed genuine thoughtfulness.

“It was prepared by Hua Yu and her husband.”

Madam chuckled, nodding toward the third Johnson lady patiently watching over Gwendolyn nearby.

“Auntie is so patient.”

Cecilia observed, deeply touched.

“My third daughter–in–law had surgery for an ectopic pregnancy… She could never have children of her own.

Madam sighed softly. “That’s why they cherish new additions to the family most.”

Cecilia understood that feeling all too well. She had lost her first child, and Sarah had told her she might never become a mother.

Back then, she had been utterly heartbroken.

Yet she still had another chance.

But Third Aunt had no chance at all.

Comparing their situations, Cecilia felt fortunate.

She gently touched her belly–at least she was carrying another life

now.

“They’re both good–natured people. You can rest assured leaving Gwendolyn with them.”

Madam listened to the laughter drifting from the other room, her spirits lifting considerably.

It had been so long since she’d experienced such liveliness.

The gloom cast over the household by Holden’s disappearance and Johan’s injuries seemed to dissipate instantly.

“Cilla, you’re the Johnson family’s blessing.”

Madam clasped Cecilia’s hands, warmth–flooding her heart.

Lucky star?

Cecilia’s eyes welled up with tears.

From childhood, what she heard most was others calling her a bad

omen.

For the first time, someone said she was a lucky star.

At this moment, her heart was full of emotion.

Madam knew Cecilia had suffered a lot, pulled a tissue to wipe her tears, gently held her, and patted her back.

“Cilla, from now on, Grandma will cherish you, and no one can bully you anymore.”

“Thank you, Grandma.

Cecilia’s eyes brimmed with tears.

“Your studio, Grandma will have someone manage it for you; the production line, Grandma has also arranged it. You just focus on doing

what you love.”

“I…” Cecilia was too grateful to speak.

She took a deep breath, saying thanks felt too shallow now.

“If the company wants to expand into the perfume sector, I can help.”

This was something within Cecilia’s capabilities.

But Madam shook her head, “Your studio is doing great, just keep it as it is.”

She knew Cecilia loved blending perfumes.

Being able to freely do the work you love is such a fortunate thing; if tied to profits, it becomes a constraint, and Madam didn’t want to constrain Cecilia.

Her granddaughter should be free to do whatever she wanted.

Cecilia could only silently feel grateful, while deciding to create a special perfume for Madam.

Just as the family was enjoying their harmonious moment, Mrs. Johnson and Juniper arrived.

Hearing the laughter, Mrs. Johnson immediately darkened her expression. With Holden’s fate unknown, they dared to be merry- probably wishing misfortune upon her husband.

She whispered to Juniper: “Look at them. Not only are they unbothered by your father’s disappearance, they’re fawning over that bastard. We mean nothing to them.”

Juniper was lost in thought, ignoring her.

Furious, Mrs. Johnson stormed into the living room and sat far away on another sofa, wearing a sour look.

Madam paid her no mind, simply gesturing for Juniper to approach.

With only two girls in the family, she cherished both equally.
