Chapter 1220


    Edith looked closely at Ste’s face. It seemed like she saw a glimpse of her own daughter in Ste as


    her eyes welled up in tears.


    Ste got emotional too, but not to the point of crying.

    She was different from the family in the room with her. She had been carefully taken care of by Rainee


    since she was a baby and had no idea that she had been switched. She had never personally


    experienced the pain of losing a loved one for the past twenty years.


    However, the Hall and Saun families had gone through the death of a grandchild and a daughter, who


    was also Wenham’s wife. It was a tragedy for them.


    That was the reason why they were so easily overwhelmed by their emotions as soon as they saw


    Ste, who was well and healthy, appearing in front of them.


    Ste felt a hint of warmth in her heart, suddenly filling her emotional void that had been empty for the


    past several years. Edith held her hand and asked gently, “Ste, have you been doing well all these


    years?”


    Ste lowered her gaze and replied softly, ’My mom-l mean, my foster mother treated me very well. I


    have been living a prettyfortable life.”


    Edith sighed. “Your foster mother had it difficult. I guess her passing was a relief for her. Could you take


    us to the


    cemetery a few dayster? I want to personally thank her.”


    Ste nodded.


    “Edith, move over. Let me speak to the child for a while.”


    Wilfred squeezed between them and stuffed a big envelope in Ste’s hand. “Ste, this is the money


    I’ve been saving for you for over twenty years.” He whispered, “None of them have as much as you.”


    Daryl paused. “Dad, how could you steal my line?”


    Then, he took an envelope out too. “What am I going to say now?”


    Wenham pursed his lips and took another envelope out from his pocket. “Did Trevor tell you guys what


    I was going to give Ste?”


    Ste and Trevor both kept quiet at the exchange.


    After a moment, the three envelopes were already in Ste’s hand. It felt weighty, like the deep


    affection from her family.


    She was initially worried that seeing her would remind them of herte birth mother and make things


    awkward between them. However, that did not happen at all. Instead, all of them were very considerate


    of her feelings and had not brought that up at all. Ste was the continuation of life to them, not the


    culprit who caused the death of their loved one.


    She pursed her lips and put the envelopes on the table.


    Then, she stood up and poured herself a ss of wine. “I’ll drink to express my gratitude.”


    Everyone else was shocked as they thought inwardly. ‘Ah… It seems like she’s a good drinker.’


    Ste only noticed that everyone else was staring at her after she finished her drink. Suddenly, she felt


    a little awkward.


    Daryl was quick to react; he cleared his throat and said,” You’re just like my sister when she was


    young. Bold and daring!”


    Then, he lifted his ss. “Here, I’ll drink with you.”


    Wenham got very excited about this “trait” of Ste as he thought inwardly. ‘It seems like she enjoys


    alcohol as much as I do.’


    “And me too.” He quickly raised his ss and spoke.


    A female voice sounded at the door as soon as Wenham said that. “I knew you wouldn’t be able to


    resist a drink.”


    Ste was taken aback. Then, she turned around and saw Darcie standing at the entrance.


    Darcie was wearing a wine-red blouse paired with a ck red long skirt. Her exquisite makeup made


    her look very elegant and graceful.


    As everyone shifted their gaze to her, she greeted the elderly couple warmly, “Long time no see, Mr.


    and Mrs. Hall Sr..”
