The fragrance of the chamomile tea wafted in the air.

Christina took a small sip. The tea was indeed very delicious, with a tinge of sweetness mingling in the
fragrance of the tea.
“This is Charlie’s favorite tea. Since he has a weak stomach, he drinks chamomile tea sometimes. It
tastes nice, right?” asked Linda in a friendly manner.
Christina smiled. “It is
When she shifted her gaze toward the chamomile on the table, she suddenly remembered the
chamomile bushes all over Julia’s backyard. She had seen the housekeepers plucking them
sometimes.
Back then, she had been curious why Julia wanted to grow chamomile in the backyard. However, she
seemed to have some clues now that she thought about it.
“I’ll try out the dress. You rest here for a while.”
All Linda could think about was the dress. She tried them on and was very pleased.
After receiving the remaining payment, Christina refused Linda’s invitation to stay for dinner.
She left the house, then went to the hospital and paid the bill for the next month.
Christina walked into the hospital ward. Sharon was lying quietly on the bed while the IV drip flowed
into her body through the tube. As she looked at her mother, who was bing frailer each day, her
heart ached.
She brought a basin of water over to wipe Sharon’s body and face. Holding her hand, she started to
talk to her.
Although Sharon was unconscious, Christina believed that she could still hear her.
“Mom, you must recover quickly. I’ll work really hard and buy a humongous mansion for I’ll bring you
and Granny over to live together. Let’s live a happy life, okay?”
you. Then,
It was already veryte when Christina returned to Scenic Garden Manor from the hospital. After taking
a bath, she copsed onto the bed and fell asleep.
Since no one woke her up during the weekends, it was almost noon when Christina woke up.
After lunch, Nathaniel returned from the office. The moment he entered, he saw Christina lying on the
couch in her cartoon pajamas and watching the television.
Nathaniel walked over and carried her from the couch. “There’s a family gathering at night. Change
your clothes and go back to the Hadley residence with me.”
“Back to the Hadley residence again?” Christina stared at Nathaniel with her huge, watery eyes.

“We’lle back after dinner. You don’t need to eat too much. I’ll take you to eat something delicious
after we leave.”
Christina burst outughing. “Sure.”

When they arrived at the Hadley residence, there was a ck Lincoln parked at the entrance.
Upon getting out of the car, the two of them saw Julia and Lawrence chatting on the grass patch in the
courtyard. The wind sent her dress fluttering as a whiff of jasmine fragrance floated in the air.
Christina stared at the gown that Julia was wearing in disbelief. It was the jasmine gown that she had
designed when she was pretending to be Ada.
Isn’t Mrs. Hadley mad at me? Why is she still willing to wear those gowns?
Nathaniel held Christina’s hand as they walked in together.
“Hello, Mrs. Hadley.” Since it was their second formal meeting after their fight, Christina felt very
nervous.
“Mm,” came Julia’s reply.
Compared to mean words, this curt response sounded pleasant to Christina.
Lawrence recognized Christina. “So this is your daughter-inw. She’s gorgeous. You’re so lucky.”
Feeling embarrassed by thatpliment, Christina returned a faint smile.
Just when they were chatting happily, a limited-edition vintage car drove in.
Charlie and Linda got out of the car. They were dressed so formally that they looked as though they
were visiting someone’s house as guests rather than returning to their home.
When Charlie spotted Lawrence, the faint smile on his face disappeared instantly.
He reprimanded Julia, “What’s wrong with you? Why did you bring another man to my home?”
Charlie sounded as if his wife had betrayed him.
The atmosphere was tense as if they were stuck in the middle of a ferocious battle.
However, Julia was not intimidated in the slightest bit. With a cold scoff, she said, “You still know that
this is your home? Since I’m the woman of the house, I can invite whoever I want.”
Charlie’s face flushed in fury. “This is my house too. I don’t want to see him here!”
Even though he had spent a long time away from the Hadley residence, it did not mean that he had
abandoned it. Everything there still belonged to Hadley Corporation, so he was not happy to see his
love rival there.
Julia showed no signs of backing down. Staring daggers at Linda, she said, “Sure. However, this
woman must get lost from my sight. I don’t want this b*tch to taint my eyes.”
When she said that, Linda’s expression changed drastically.
That sent a cold shiver down Christina’s spine. Was Mrs. Hadley awyer in the past? Why is she so
sharp with her words?
Christina suddenly thought that although Julia did not like her, thetter was not so harsh to that
extent.

Charlie was so angry that he was at a loss for words. Yet, Julia pressed on mercilessly, “You can’t do
that? Then don’t stop me from hosting my guests too.
With that, she looked at Lawrence. “Let’s go and look at the jasmine flowers in the backyard. I grew
them with much care.”
Lawrence extended his hand out in a gentlemanly manner and left with Julia.
This intense battle finally died down with Julia’s departure.
While Christina had unknowingly broken out in a cold sweat, Nathaniel remained calm as if he had
seen this too many times.
After all, he had heard them argue far too many times over the years. The argument that they just had
was nothing inparison.
Not daring to yell at Charlie, Nathaniel held Christina’s hand and entered inside.
Christina thought that they seemed more like strangers than father and son. They did not even greet
each other. Tugging Nathaniel’s shirt, she said, “I want to take a look at the backyard.”
Nathaniel nodded and apanied her there.
A gust of wind blew past. The smooth fragrance of jasmine and chamomile mixed together to form a
unique smell.
Looking at Julia, who took everything so seriously, Lawrence could not help but say. “You care about
him. Why must you turn every meeting with him into a fight?”
Since they had grown up together, he knew Julia’s personality well. She was too stubborn and refused
to admit defeat.
Julia snorted coldly. “He started it by bringing back that filthy thing.” She did not even want to refer to
Julia as a woman.
“You’ll only worsen the misunderstanding between the two of you. Not everyone understands what
you’re thinking like I do,” Lawrence said.
It was uncertain if he was referring to Julia or himself
Julia’s smile widened. “I don’t need anyone to understand me. Let’s not talk about these unpleasant
things since you’re here. When are you nning to go back?”
As Lawrence’s family business was overseas, he had barely returned in the past few years.
“I may not go back after returning this time. I’ve been overseas for so many years. Perhaps I’m getting
old, but I want to return to my origins.”
A-look of surprise and delight crossed Julia’s face. “That’s great! We can meet more often.”
After a slight pause, Lawrence stared at her and mumbled to himself, “Say, would things between us be
different now if you had agreed to leave with me back then?”
