When Teresa got home, Theodore and the rest of the Sullivan family weren’t home. Just the house staff were bustling about the

mansion.

After heading to her bedroom, Teresa took a hot bath and then lay down to catch up on some sleep.

Once she was done, Teresa climbed into bed, ready to make up for all the sleep she’d missed.

When she woke up, a maid knocked on her door and said, “Ms. Sullivan, we have visitors.”

Teresa was still a little dazed but responded, “Alright, got it.”

After a quick freshen–up, Teresa headed downstairs.

She figured it must be some relatives from the Sullivan family stopping by, but to her surprise, it was Serena Logan.

Teresa hadn’t seen Serena in ages.

As soon as she heard footsteps coming down the stairs, Serena Logan jumped up from the couch, a hint of nervousness in her eyes, and greeted Teresa, “Yvonne.”

The moment Teresa saw the smile on Serena’s face, Andrew’s words instantly popped into her mind.

But thinking about it, Serena looked so happy–it was obvious she’d already made a full recovery.

As that thought crossed her mind, Teresa smiled and asked, “Serena, what brings you here?”

The Logan family almost never showed up at the Sullivan Mansion. Some of them had never even dropped by once.

Nobody from the Logan family had been around the Sullivan Mansion for ages.

Serena walked over to Teresa, gently took her hand, and said, “Yvonne, Grandpa asked me to come pick you up. He wants you to join us for dinner at Joyacre Villa.”

Her smile vanished, replaced by a hint of frost in her eyes. Teresa answered, “No, I’ve got things to handle today. I won’t be coming.”

Serena looked confused, her brows knitting together. “Yvonne, Grandpa sent me all the way here just for you.”

Teresa knew Serena was in the dark about what was really going on, and she wasn’t about to spell it out. She just replied calmly, “Not today, I’m not feeling well, so I’m staying in.”

That day, Teresa had collapsed right in front of Richard.

She was pretty sure Richard already knew about her losing the baby.

Still, even after all that time she spent in the hospital, her grandfather hadn’t come to see her once.

He used to fuss over her all the time, but ever since that happened, it was like she didn’t even exist to him anymore.

Teresa could guess the reason well enough.

No matter how much Richard cared for her, at the end of the day, he was still a Logan.

Teresa knew that better than anyone

Serena, clueless to the real reason, kept coaxing her, “Come on, please? Just treat it as my little celebration!”

Teresa understood what Serena was getting at, but she stuck to her guns “Serena. I truly am happy to see you healthy and standing here. but as for dinner, let’s drop it–I won’t be coming”

Hearing Teresa’s unwavering tone, Serena realized there was no convincing her. She could only give up and murmur, “Alright then.”

That night, when Serena got back to Joyacre Villa, Sharon had already set the table with a feast.

Richard was sitting in the living room, and when he heard the car horn, he instinctively straightened his back, adopting his usual dignified air.

But after Serena walked in, no one else followed.

Seeing this, Richard’s smile faltered for a moment, and then he asked Serena, “Where’s Teresa? Why didn’t she come back with you?”

Serena didn’t hide anything. She just said honestly, “Yvonne didn’t seem happy, so I didn’t push her.”

Richard’s face darkened. “She’s really got the nerve to act all upset?”

Catching all the irritation in Richard’s voice, Serena couldn’t help but ask, “What’s bothering you?”

Richard was about to lose his cool, nearly blurting out, “She…”

But before he could get another word in, Charles’s calm voice drifted over from nearby. “Let’s eat before the food gets cold.”

At that, Richard sighed and bit back the rest of his words.

But as soon as Richard sat down at the table, he grumbled with clear annoyance, “If I’d known she was going to pull this kind of stunt, I never would’ve let her set foot in this family.”

Serena looked utterly baffled. She didn’t dare ask Richard, so she quietly turned to Charles and whispered, “Charles, what’s gotten into Grandpa?”

Charles didn’t look at her, just lowered his voice, “Eat your dinner.”

Serena replied and, right at that moment, Yolanda appeared at the top of the stairs before coming down.

She was in pink pajamas, her hair draped down her back, and when she smiled, those adorable dimples showed at her lips.

Serena couldn’t help but feel a wave of affection for her little niece.

After Yolanda settled next to Charles, Serena slid her chair a bit closer to her.

At the same time, Serena served Yolanda a piece of pork rib with a gentle touch.

Afterwards, Serena reached out, instinctively wanting to pat Yolanda on the head.

But before her hand could land, Yolanda instantly batted it away. “Don’t touch me.”

Serena frowned in concern and looked at Yolanda, “Yolanda, what’s wrong?”

Yolanda glared at her and snapped, “You’re dirty. I don’t want you touching me, and I don’t want the food you gave me.”

Before Serena could even get upset, Charles’s voice grew cold. “Yolanda, who put those words in your mouth?”

Yolanda peeked up at Charles and mumbled, “It… it was Mommy.”

Serena’s eyes flew wide in disbelief. “Come on, Yolanda, maybe you’re remembering it wrong?”

But Yolanda just shook her head stubbornly. “No, I remember right. It was Mommy who told me.”

Serena frowned, her whole expression clouded with confusion.

Charles also furrowed his brow, but he spoke softly to Yolanda, “Aunt Teresa is line now—she isn’t sick anymore.”

Yolanda looked puzzled, but she nodded and said. “Oh.”

But even as they started eating. Yolanda carefully took the pork rib out of her bowl and set it aside.

Serena noticed every little thing Yolanda did Watching Yolanda quietly push away the food she’d given her, Serena felt a painful prick in
