Chapter 299


    Maisy hadn’t expected to run into Steven and Charles. She had just recollected herposure and


    was about to knock on the door again.


    Sensing their indifference toward her, she cursed inwardly. Nevertheless, she


    maintained a cheerful facade and said, “I came to see Mom and you two.”


    Steven was somewhat surprised by the drastic change in Maisy’s attitude.


    On the other hand, Charles snorted coldly. “No need to act all friendly. You’re not


    wee today. Come back another day if you want.”


    It was their family time, and they didn’t want Maisy around.


    Maisy bit her lip, her eyes tearing up. “You’re my brothers, and I wanted to see you. I


    know I was wrong before, and I’ve realized my mistake.


    “I hope you can forgive me. Steven, I truly understand now. You guys are my true family,” she said


    earnestly, looking at them both.


    Steven felt an inexplicable difort at being called so intimately, and his frown


    deepened. “Today really isn’t the day for you to visit. Come back another time.”


    Maisy chewed her lip, a tear rolling down her cheek. “I get it, you don’t want me here.


    Fine, I’ll leave now.”


    As she turned to leave, the door behind her suddenly opened.


    Janine stood there, surprised. “Maisy?”


    She had heard Steven and Charles talking outside, prompting her to open the door.


    “Mom, I… I came to see you.” Maisy’s heart jumped. She had been nning to give


    Janine a call once Steven and Charles were inside.


    She wanted toment a bit and maybe garner some sympathy. Perhaps she could benefit from this


    situation.


    Janine was happy to see Maisy, but Skr was also around, and they had all agreed to gather


    together. After all, none of her children were particrly fond of Maisy.


    Janine was momentarily unsure of how to react to Maisy’s sudden appearance.


    “Mom, are Steven and Charles back?” Skr’s voice came from inside.


    Skr?


    Maisy sneered inwardly. No wonder they didn’t want her inside; Skr was there too. Perfect!


    “Skr’s here too?” she eximed with feigned surprise, looking at Janine eagerly.


    Janine could only nod.


    Skr heard Maisy’s voice, and her smile faded. It had been a long time since she had heard Maisy


    call her so pleasantly. Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Skr walked to the door, greeted Steven and Charles, then turned to face Maisy. It had been a


    few days since she’d seen her.


    Although Maisy looked a bit pale, her makeup was impable. She was still as


    stunning as ever.


    “Skr, I’m so happy to see you at Mom’s!” Maisy said with surprise.


    Harvey, who was standing by the door, snorted at her act. “You’re so fake.”


    Maisy’s smile stiffened. “It’s up to you to believe me or not. I know there have been


    misunderstandings in the past, but I’m genuinely happy.”


    At this moment, the whole family was crowded around the door.


    Janine felt a little helpless and sighed to herself. “Come on in, all of you.”


    It wouldn’t be right to leave Maisy standing outside.


    Steven and Charles exchanged a nce and then looked at Skr.


    Just when they thought they could have a nice family gathering, Maisy had to show
