Chapter 1302


    “Lena…” Lina’s voice carried a hint of sadness as she tightly squeezed Lena’s hand. “Don’t say that.


    I’ve always considered you part of the family.”


    “Really?” A glimmer of light appeared in Lena’s dim eyes.


    “When I was in danger, you protected me. You were my bridesmaid at my wedding. Your support has


    always been wholehearted. How could I ever treat you as an outsider?”


    “Lina…”


    “Perhaps you’ve misunderstood Aunt Kaitlyn.” Lina gently patted Lena’s head. “You mentioned she was


    lingering around the study, but it might have been out of mere curiosity.”


    “I don’t care whether she was curious or not!” Lena’s brows furrowed. “All I know is there are the


    Thompson Group’s documents in the study, as well as your design ns! Even though I don’t


    understand those things, I know they are important and shouldn’t be seen by others.”


    Lina was moved by Lena’s dedication and remained silent for a moment before softly chuckling. “Lena,


    why are you so good to me?”


    Lena’s expression shifted slightly, and she lowered her head, whispering, “Maybe it’s fate.”


    Lina wanted to inquire further, but Lena walked away.

    Kaitlyn received an invitation to Hamerton Manor.


    After Linda’s briefing, Cordelia also had some doubts. Thus, she found an excuse to invite Kaitlyn to


    their home. After all, Toph was going to marry Renee, and their parents spending time together could


    benefit the young couple.


    As Kaitlyn arrived at the Hamertons’, she looked around with a mix of surprise and admiration on her

    “The manor is quiterge, but this little courtyard is my favorite,” Cordelia said, holding Kaitlyn’s hand


    and chuckling softly.


    “Yes, this courtyard is lovely, with flowers and nts. And there’s a mountain over there… The view is


    beautiful.”


    Cordelia discreetly observed Kaitlyn’s expression, noting a subtle trace of envy in her smile and tone.


    So far, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, and Cordelia’s anxiety eased. Perhaps she was just


    overthinking things.


    “Mrs. Hamerton,” Kaitlyn began with a slightly embarrassed smile. “I know the reason you invited me


    here today. It’s probably not solely about the marriage between our children, right?”


    Cordelia was briefly taken aback but responded with a gentle smile.


    “Maybe you all think I’ve changed, but in truth… I’m only doing this for my daughter.” Kaitlyn lowered


    her head, hands crossed, and eventually came to a halt.


    Cordelia guided her to a chair in the garden.


    A gentle breeze carried a slight chill, the air was refreshing, and warm sunlight enveloped the


    surroundings, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.


    After a prolonged silence, Kaitlyn spoke softly. “Renee is my only daughter. I just want her to have a


    good life. I know the Hamertons won’t mistreat her, but…”


    She smiled wryly. “But I don’t know how much time I have left with her. If my illness rpses one day


    and the doctors can’t save me, Renee will be left without parents. So… while I’m still alive and able, I


    want to secure some benefits for her future.


    “Mrs. Hamerton, I don’t have much education or experience, and my words may not be pleasant to


    hear. Please don’t take offense.”

    Cordelia smiled, shook her head, and took hold of Kaitlyn’s hand.


    “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to you. When Renee marries into our family, she’ll be my and


    Zephyr’s daughter. We will treat her well.”


    A flicker passed through Kaitlyn’s eyes as she subtly withdrew her hand.


    Cordelia noticed that.
