Chapter 264


    The guests trickled out after Old Mr. Xander’s birthday banquet ended. Before n left the Xander


    residence, he walked up to Annalise and said to her with a polite smile, “Congrattions on finding


    your family “Thank you!” Annalise nodded slightly. “Here.” n smiled and handed a paper star to


    Annalise. There was something written on the star. Julian’s expression darkened. “You must open it


    and read it!” n said with a gentle smile. Then, he nodded at julian and left.


    n had texted Annalise on Whatsapp before, but she did not reply. n did not know if it was


    because Annalise had not seen his message or if it was because she did not want to interact with men.


    Annalise looked at the star she was holding in her palm. Julian reached out and took the star. he folds


    paper stars. What a sissy.” Annalise felt that Julian was adorable every time she saw him behaving


    jealously.


    Her lips curled into a smile, and her eyes. curved into crescents “How is that sissy? This star is


    beautiful. It would look even prettier if it were folded with luminous paper.” Julian frowned. “You like


    stars?” “Yes,” Annalise replied. Julian handed the star to Annalise. “Open it.” He wanted to open it and


    see what n had written in it. But this was disrespectful to Annalise. Though Julian was jealous, he


    could not be unreasonable.


    Annalise was an independent person. If he loved her, he should respect everything about her. Including


    who she made friends with, and that naturally included her male friends. If there was no love and


    admiration hidden in n’s eyes every time he looked at Annalise, he would make a pretty good friend.


    Julian’s face. She took the star from him and opened it.


    There was a line of words written on it: Nancy’s a bad egg. Watch out for her. “What does it say?”


    Julián asked. Annalise handed the note to Julian. Julian’s expression instantly softened. So that was


    what n had written. Julian thought that n had written something like “You’re beautiful”. Julian


    said, “It doesn’t matter. We just have to distance ourselves from those with bad characters.” “Indeed,”


    Annalise replied.


    Annalise had not interacted much with Nancy before, so she could not tell what Nancy was like as a


    person. Now that someone had given her a warning, she just had to be more careful of Nancy. It was


    gettingte at night, but the lights were still on in the Xander residence. The servants were very busy.


    Lee Xander’s home had already been packed up more than two weeks ago, but he got the bedding


    was pink as well. Lee-took Annalise and Julian to see the room. Annalise felt a little resigned when she


    saw the pink-colored room.


    She was already twenty years old. Lee said, “Back then, your mother said that if she gave birth to a


    daughter, she would treat her daughter like a princess and give her daughter a pink-colored


    wondend.” Lee did not know why his heart ached when he said this. The way his heart spasmed was


    beyond his control. It felt as if that had all happened yesterday, but things were different now.


    That had happened in autumn 23 years ago. Heather was very thin, she was only 90 pounds. She was


    pregnant and she caressed her belly with a smile. She said wistfully, “If it is a boy, then we will decorate


    his room like the ocean. If it is a girl, then we must treat her like a little princess. We will decorate her


    room like a pink-colored wondend.” Lee could not think about it. The more he thought about it, the


    more painful his heart


    Annalise felt very upset when she heard that. She did not remember much about her mother because


    her mother had passed away when she was three years old. However, all the events and details


    rted to her mother reminded her that her mother loved Annalise as if her life depended on it. That


    kind of love touched Annalise and made her heart ache. “I love this room.” I love my mother’s love, and


    I love my mother.


    “Don’t go back tonight. Stay here. Come and stay over when you have time in the future,” Lee said.


    “Okay,” Annalise replied. No matter whether she really was Lee’s daughter or not, she could feel that


    Lee truly treated her as if she were his daughter. Old Mr. Xander also treated her as if she were his


    granddaughter. She would acknowledge the Xander family as her family as well.


    “Take a look around and see if there’s anything missing. If there’s anything missing, tell the helper. Or


    you can tell me too,” Lee Lee “Dad”, she could not help but feel a little excited. This word was


    complicated and felt heavy to her. “Silly, there’s no need to stand on ceremony with Daddy.” Lee looked


    at Annalise dotingly. Lee thought to himself, “Heather, if only Annalise was our daughter! í am sorry!


    I had made you lose hope. That was why you left. Even if you leave, I want you to live well! Were you


    too tired? Was that why you left this word? I’m tired too. But Thave things to do. Our son has not yet


    been found. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of your daughter. I’ll treat her as my own.” Julian led


    Annalise into the room. He wanted her to rest for a while.


    A servant came over and said to them, “Sir, asked me toe and get you all for dinner.” “Okay,” Lee


    replied. Then, he smiled and said to Annalise, “Anna, let’s go over for dinner and meet the family


    officially.” Everyone had already eaten at Old Mr. Xander’s birthday banquet earlier today. It was only


    eight o’clock in the evening, so they weren’t hungry. The dinner was just so that the family could meet


    each other officially.


    The three of them walked from Lee’s ce to the main house. The Xander Residence was veryrge.


    It wasplete with a vintage garden. There was a pavilion, an artificialke, willow trees, stene paths,


    and a purple bamboo forest… One could read in it in the afternoon, and it was beautiful at night when


    the lights were switched on.


    They took about five to six minutes to get to the main house. It did not feel far at all. In fact, it felt as if


    they had only walked for a minute or two. The scenery was simply too beautiful. They arrived at the


    main house. The servants busied themselves bringing out the dishes from the kitchen. There were


    already more than 40 dishes on the huge round table. When they saw Annaliseing over, they


    greeted her warmly, “Annalise is here. Quick, sit!”


    Lee introduced them to Annalise one by one. Won’t introduce Grandpa. You’ve already mét him during


    the day. This is your uncle, that’s your aunt. That’s your eldest cousin and your second cousin.”


    Annalise Barton couldn’t remember all the people because there were too many of them. There were


    more than 20 of them. Lee knew what Annalise was thinking. He smiled and whispered to Annalise,


    “Sorry, you don’t have to remember them. I’ll give you photos of them to look at tomorrow.” “Thank


    you!”


    “Silly child. Come, sit, sit down and eat. Eat whatever you like. Don’t stand on ceremony.” Lee said.


    Samuel also said heartily, “Annalise,e, eat.” After everyone was done eating, Samuel today is a


    day of reunion. Let’s have a drink together and wee Annalise home!” Lee had not found his


    missing son, but it was fortunate that he had found a daughter. At least he had the motivation to


    continue living.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
