Chapter 219
"I want to go back on my own." Jade said.
After school, no one in the Cedillo family supervised Jade''s actions.
"Jade, Leo and I are going home now. Goodbye." Mia said.
Jade waved her hand as she got into a taxi and went to Chad''s workce.
"Chad." Jade called out.
Chad looked up and saw his familiar sister, "Jade, why did youe to find me? Did someone bully
you in the Cedillo family, or are you having trouble adjusting to life there? Have you been mistreated?"
Jade smiled, linking her arm with Chad''s and walking beside him. She said, "You''ve always picked me
up from school and brought me home. When I went to a friend''s house, it was still you picking me up.
Today, I wanted to pick you up for once."
Chad looked at his suddenly obedient sister and asked, "Do you want to be Molly again?"
Jade bit her lip lightly and rested her forehead on Chad''s arm, "Chad, will you be angry?"
"No, I''ll never be angry with you." Chad assured her.
After Chad finished work, he took Jade to the supermarket.
"When we were kids, Mom used to let the two of us interact with people. She gave each of us ten
dors and a shopping list to buy things at the supermarket, learning to bargain with people. I still
remember that in the end, we didn''t buy anything." Jade said.
Jade walked into the supermarket, reminiscing about her childhood scenes.
Chad picked up some items and went to the checkout. He paid, with a girl hanging on his arm the
whole time, and the two of them looked like a newlywed couple, experiencing life by shopping in the
supermarket. He carried the groceries and went to the meat stall in front.
Jade asked, "Chad, are we having a barbecue tonight?"
"Yes, we''ll have a barbecue as a family." Chad said. He then took his sister to the egg vendor and
bought some eggs to take home.
Jade followed him throughout, just like when they were children.

Chad went to the supermarket to buy markers, and her little hand was held as they walked. While
walking, he would buy lollipops for her to enjoy. Chad went to buy seasonings, and she followed along.
On the way back home, she wanted to buy marshmallows.
Later, their parents were busy with work, and the housekeeper had taken a vacation. So Jade followed
Chad to the supermarket to buy groceries and go home. Chad once said that when he was with Jade,
he enjoyed apanying her to the supermarket to buy snacks. Every time they did that, he felt that
his life was ordinary yet happy.
"Chad, do Grandpa and Grandma know?" Jade asked.
Chad replied, "Don''t see them for now. They''ve been through some emotional stress."
Jade lowered her head, "Do they hate me now?"
"Not really, they just can''t ept that you''re not their granddaughter. Grandma said that you are so
beautiful, clearly her granddaughter, not a member of the Cedillo family. Grandpa also said that you are
the one he has watched grow up, you are his granddaughter." Chad said.
After hearing this, Jade''s self-me lessened a bit.
Back at home, Coleen and Mr. Kendrick hadn''t returned yet. The two of them started cooking, and Jade
began to chop onions.
"Chad, my eyes are stinging and tearing up." Jade said.
Chad was busy marinating meat, his hands covered in spices, "You go outside first, I''ll handle the onion
chopping."
Jade put down the knife and turned to the faucet to wash away the stinging sensation in her eyes.
Chad''s onion chopping speed was much faster than Jade''s. His culinary skills were like those of a
professional chef, and in no time, the onions were perfectly chopped. Then he resumed marinating the
meat.
Jade started frying eggs.
Coleen returned home and saw her son and daughter in the kitchen. She put down her handbag and
quickly walked to the kitchen, "Jade, you''re back?"
"Mom, I''m back." Jade said.
Jade put down what she was holding and walked over to hug her mother, "Mom, I''m sorry foring
back sote."
Coleen embraced her daughter tightly. The mother and daughter had a warm conversation for a while,
and then Coleen asked Chad to leave the kitchen and started cooking. Chad and Jade didn''t leave;
they wanted to apany Coleen in the kitchen, even if it was just for a chat. They were happy to help
in any way they could.
Mr. Kendrick also returned and saw the whole family in the kitchen. He took off his coat and rolled up
his sleeves to join them, "What can I do?"
"Dad, our skills aren''t that good. Let Mom handle it." Jade said. The meat chunks she and Mr. Kendrick
cut were uneven in size and shape, while Coleen and Chad''s skill was much better.
"Chad, teach me how to do it." Jade asked again.
Chad patiently guided her step by step, and Jade earnestly learned. But in the end, when they looked
at the finished product, Chad said, "You should make the sd with Dad instead."
Jade frowned, feeling frustrated. They were using the same hands, so why was there such a big
difference?
"Chad, teach me one more time." Jade persisted.
Jade maintained her spirit of perseverance.
So, Chad showed her the method again, "Watch closely."
Jade followed his instructions.
However, her creation still turned out ugly.
Chad was speechless.
“Chad, I believe that I will definitely seed on the third attempt.” Jade persevered without giving up.
Finally, Chad gave in. He stood behind his sister, holding her hands in his own and guiding her step by
step, "Learn earnestly."
Jade nodded attentively, listening intently. Atst, a decent piece of work was created.
"I won''t learn anymore, it''s too difficult." Jade gave up.
Jade felt that tasks with no technicalplexity were best suited for her. One must not be greedy;
understanding one''s abilities was essential. She decided to continue making sds.
Mr. Kendrick was a self-aware individual; he wouldn''t openly discuss things he wasn''t skilled in.
In the kitchen, Mr. Kendrick and Jade prepared the sd, while Chad and Coleen were in charge of
grilling the meat. They chatted andughed in the kitchen, continuing untilte at night.
Although their daughter had already settled into the Cedillo family, the couple didn''t mention it, as if
everything was the same as before—she was still their daughter, Jade.
In the Cedillo family, Hansen checked the time. It was already past 8 o''clock in the evening. He wanted
to call his daughter and ask if she had eaten and was ready to sleep.
However, his phone had been taken away by Mia.
"Dad, you should give her some time to adapt to the new environment. If you call her now, she''ll think
you''re too anxious." Mia advised.
Naomi also agreed with Mia''s viewpoint, "Dad, Molly has been with us for the past few days, and the
Byrne family''s parents haven''t called her, allowing her to fully adapt to our life together. We should also
give her the freedom, like the Byrne family''s parents, and not disturb her life."
Hansen pouted and grumbled, "I''m just worried about her."
Mia replied, "Even if you miss her, you have to endure it."
However, before nine o''clock, Jade took the initiative to call, directly dialing Hansen''s number.
"Hello, Molly, did you call me because you miss me too?" Hansen asked.
Jade knew her biological father was getting older and would worry about her at night, so she called to
reassure him and encourage him to rest early.
"Dad, I just had dinner with my parents, and we''re about to rest. You should also get some rest." Jade
said.
"Okay, I''ll also go rest. Don''t stay up toote, it''s not good for your health." Hansen said.
Jade agreed and they hung up the phone.
Mia looked at Hansen''s serious expression, propped her face up with her hands, and asked Hansen,
"Who yed the game from level 245 to level 253 at midnightst night?"
Hansen remained silent.
