Chapter 312 Her Guess Was Right!
His demeanor was incredibly indifferent, as though he were addressing a stranger.
Joanna felt a little sad.
Just then, the doorbell chimed.
Dandy and Kyra were standing outside.
Out of politeness,n greeted them and invited them in.
Dandy disyed minimal interest. She nced at him before haughtily entering.
Upon reaching the foyer, they noticed Jean was present, and he swiftly altered his authoritative
expression, pretending to be gentle.
“Jean, you’re here as well? Kyra and I heard about your mother’s illness andck of improvement. We
were genuinely concerned, so we came to visit.”
Upon hearing this, Jean raised an assessing gaze toward her.
Dandy’splexion had already recovered!
It appeared that the family’s petite matriarch truly stayed true to her promise!
Contemting her swift retribution–seeking nature, he could not help but chuckle inwardly.
Yet, he maintained an aloof expression, responding coolly, “I appreciate your concern. My Mom’s in her
room.”
Dandy’s expression froze, her eyes flickering to her daughter beside her.
Kyra sensed a slight unease.
From the moment they crossed the threshold until now, the man had not even spared her a nce as
though she were invisible.
Despite having encountered his dismissive attitude before, she could not resist stepping forward and
initiating a conversation with him.
“How’s Aunt Wrenn’s condition now? Has it improved?”
Jean’s tone retained its aloofness, “Not very well. You can go up and see for yourself.”
Observing his continuedck of attention, Kyra could only offer a slightly embarrassed smile, “Alright…”
Following Mr. Jenkins, the two promptly ascended the staircase.
As they left, Kyra cast a discernible look of disdain at Joanna.
Kyra possessed some insight into this woman’s thoughts, yet she paid them no significant heed.
She remained convinced that anyone Jean favored would not hold any affection for Joanna…
Vyra was readily engaged with her elders, and she suppressed a smile, “Of course! I intended toe
a few days ago, but my work kept me tied up. Finding the opportunity was a bit challenging, but I knew
I had to check up on you. Seeing you unwell. are you feeling better? You must focus on recovering.”
Wrennis demeanor softened, and Kyrils words only endeared her further, “You’re so considerate. Don’t
worry, I’ll
be better soon”
Turning her attention to Dandy, Wrenn remarked, “Yourplexion appears to have been restored,
that’s a
Dandy sighed, “It’s touching how you still care despite your condition. I’m fine. Focus on your health
and don’t trouble yourself over me.”
“Anight…”
The three of them engaged in a conversation, fostering a harmonious ambiance.
Outside the door, Joanna overheard everything with a deeply displeased expression.
A smoldering anger simmered within her
Wrenn, who had previously been kind to Joanna, had never crossed her mind for a potential match with
Jean!
Observing this situation, it was dear that even without Neera’s influence, she would not consider
Joanna a suitable daughter–inw
Kyra was the favored choice!
Contemting her position, it was evident that she would not be chosen, intensifying the anger and
envy
It appeared that her guess was right!
Later in the day, after spending a few days confined to bed, Wrenn felt sore all over and decided to
take a stroll
Comdars.
Kyra promptly offered assistance, gently saying, “Aunt Wrenn, I’ll apany you.”
Wrenn smilled contentedly remarking, “You’re always so caring, dear.”
As they descended to stairs, upon seeing Jean focused on his tasks, Wrenn couldn’t help but
comment, “Jean, tere ae queas of the house, it wouldn’t hurt to offer them some hospitality. When will
work take a back seat? Neglecting the seems impolite”
lean responded casually, “Ms. Marks and Mrs. Marks are upstairs visiting you. How could I entertain
them?”
This left Wrenn momentarily speechless.
Sébing the moment, Kyra chimed in, “It’s alright, Aunt Wrenn. Jean has always prioritized his work,
which is a good thing, I understand. Let him focus on his tasks. In the meantime, I’ll apany you to
the courtyard for a stroll and some light activities. Perhaps you’ll feel better.”
Wrenn cast a helpless nce at her son and then ced a reassuring hand on Kyra’s, saying, “You’re
just so well–mannered and sensible, always enduring. That’s why he can be a bit thoughtless…”
