Chapter 1496


    Mrs. Lamont turned to Mrs. Macin with a nonchnt expression. "Mrs. Macin, you got it all wrong.


    This is for Estelle."


    As soon as she finished speaking, her gaze quickly swept over Simone and Carme''s momentarily

    frozen faces. Then she instructed the servant, "Put this over there to cool off for a bit, then bring it up to


    Estelle for her to enjoy during her break. And, she like sweet food, so add a bit more sugar, otherwise,


    she might not like it."


    "Sure thing." The servant nodded and then turned around to head back to the kitchen.


    Simone and Carme were stunned by Mrs. Lamont''s words. The care and affection she showed for


    Estelle was far beyond their expectations. Simone collected her thoughts and forced a smile, "Mrs.


    Lamont, you''re so good to Estelle. You even know her food preferences to a tee."


    Mrs. Lamont gave a light chuckle, "If her biological parents don''t love her, then I will. I need to give her


    extra care, otherwise, this poor child would be pitiful. Don''t you think so, Mrs. Macin?"


    Simone''s smile froze on her face, "Her parents died early, it''s indeed pitiful. But it''s her good fortune to


    have you loving her so much."


    Mrs. Lamont shook her head, "No matter how much others love her, it can never rece the love of her


    biological parents. Speaking of her parents, I really can''t understand them. They didn''t like such a


    lovely daughter, they must be stupid."


    Simone momentarily doubted if Mrs. Lamont knew something, but seeing her serious face, she didn''t


    seem to be mocking her. Simone forced herself to keep smiling, "Parents like that."


    "Are not fit to be human!" Mrs. Lamont continued, "Even beasts protect their offspring. So, aren''t they


    both stupid and malicious?"


    Simone was left speechless. She was already squirming in her seat, finding the topic hard to continue.


    Carme tried to lighten the mood, chuckling softly, "Although my sister doesn''t have the love of her


    biological parents, my parents still love her a lot. When my sister first came to J City and was always


    getting into fights, nearly expelled from school, it was my parents who helped her out."


    Mrs. Lamont''s eyes lit up, "Estelle can fight? That''s impressive! She''s such a talented girl!"


    Carme was taken aback, then sheughed awkwardly, "Yes, my sister is pretty good at fighting."


    "Estelle is a wonderful child!" Mrs. Lamont praised.


    Carme was at a loss for words.


    Simone didn''t know if Mrs. Lamont was just being polite or if she really thought highly of Estelle


    because Mrs. Lamont''s expression didn''t seem to contain any insincerity. Could Mrs. Lamont really like


    Estelle that much?


    Simone felt a chill in her heart, so she quickly changed the subject, "Last time at the celebration, Mr.


    Lamont seemed to be quite taken with Carme. I was thinking of letting Carme invite him to dinner


    alone, would he be avable?"


    Cathrine nced at Carme, who was looking hopeful, finally understanding the real reason for the


    mother and daughter''s visit today. She smiled lightly, "I don''t meddle in Jonathan''s affairs. When he


    Carme looked at Simone and nodded happily, "Alright."


    Simone also promptly responded, "Then we will stay a bit longer to wait for Mr. Lamont."


    Having steered clear of the topic of Estelle, Simone started chatting with Cathrine about other matters,


    with Carme chiming in at appropriate times, ttering and trying to please Cathrine. Cathrine''s face


    was always adorned with a gentle smile, neither cold nor overly enthusiastic, making it impossible to


    tell what she was really thinking.
