Reba quickly picked up the video call.
“Charlie!” Seeing Charlie, Reba’s mood brightened, and she immediately called out happily.
Charlie’s eyes lit up upon seeing Reba, and he was delighted. “Becky, I was just taking a break so I called you
back.
“As for that variety show, don’t go. I don’t have a schedule free right now, so I can’t apany you.
“If you go alone, given Ben’s despicable nature, I’m afraid he would maliciously arrange the plot for ratings. He’ll make you suffer and tter J to build tension and attract attention. Don’t put yourself through that.”
Reba smiled, her eyes crinkling. She nodded. “Okay, then I’ll call Lynnter and let her know I won’t be
attending.”
Charlie was simply overjoyed just looking at Reba and thought, ‘Becky is such a good girl. Having a younger
sister feels so nice<b>!</b>‘
“By the way, Becky, after a few days, when you’ve finished with your aunt’s birthday celebration, I’m taking <b>your </b>
somewhere!”
Reba was surprised, then delighted. “Where to?”
Charlie chuckled enigmatically before saying, “I’ll tell you then. You just focus on preparing for the birthday celebration now. In a few days, I happen to have two days off, and I’lle pick you up!”
Charlie had everything nned out, and Reba felt reassured as she nodded. “Okay.”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now. The director is calling me for my night shoots, and I’m already running.
“Okay,” Reba agreed.
“Here I am,ing soon… I’m reallying…” Charlie anxiously responded before quickly hanging up the video
call.
As the call ended, Debra couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous. “He knew I was beside you, and he didn’t say a single
word to me.”
Reba was taken aback and then realized. She carefully exined, “Maybe… Charlie just forgot?”
Debra sighed helplessly, “Forget it. He’s just afraid I’ll pressure him into getting married. It took him <b>quite </b>courage
to call you even when he knows you’re with <b>me</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>

Speaking of marriage, Reba finally remembered that she was twenty–six, whereas Charlie was a bit older than her.
At his age, he really ought to get married.
But the thought of Debra pushing Charlie to get married and Charlie’s helplessness was somewhat amusing to her.
“Marriage is a big thing, and Charlie should take his time to find someone he likes,” Reba said seriously.
Debra sighed, “We thought the same thing before. But it seems like our family is cursed. Adrian, Bryce, and Charlie all refuse to date, let alone get married. It’s driving me crazy.”
Reba was stunned and then realized Debra <b>was </b>right.
Since she was reunited with her family, she hadn’t seen any girlfriends of her three brothers, and both Adrian and Bryce were likely quite grown up.
“How old is Adrian?” Reba couldn’t help but ask.
Debra nced at her and sighed again, “He’ll be thirty–five this year.” Now Reba was also helpless, thinking, ‘Thirty–five, it’s definitely time to get married!‘
“Forget it. Let’s not talk about them anymore. They’ll ruin our mood.” Debra shook her head as she spoke.
It was getting dark without Reba realizing it, and Patrick knocked on the door.
When Reba and Debra heard the sound, they both looked towards the door.
Patrick smiled and said, “Dinner is ready. Let’s go downstairs and eat.”
Only then did Reba and Debra react. Debra handed the baby to the nanny and stood up, telling Reba, “Come on, let’s go downstairs for dinner.”
Dinner was still very rich, featuring a bnced mix of meat and vegetables, and each day brought different dishes. Reba never tired of eating and always had an appetite at every meal,
After dinner, Reba called Lynn back and told her that she wouldn’t be participating in the variety show recording.
Lynn wasn’t surprised by Reba’s decision.
“Alright, then take a few days off to rest. In a while, there will be <b>an </b>audition opportunity, and I’ll bring you there to check it out.
“Oh, by the way, the character information for the audition will be sent to you in advance. Spend the next few days
10:54 Sun, 21 Jul
studying and embodying that character, thinking about how you want to y it,” Lynn added.
Reba quickly nodded and thanked her, “Okay, thank <b>you</b>!”

Cynthia’s birthday party was just around the corner.
Early the next morning, Reba woke up and got ready. She packed her gifts and was ready to leave for Cynthia’s
house.
Since Cynthia was a member of the Mitchell family, Debra couldn’t go with Reba to the party before their rtionship became public. Debra could only repeatedly remind Reba before she left that if she encountered any trouble, she should just go home and ignore irrelevant people.
Patrick was also very concerned about Reba and even wanted to send a female bodyguard to protect her. Reba was helpless but declined with a smile.
However, Patrick and Debra still arranged for a bodyguard to follow Reba, waiting with the driver in the car<b>. </b>Just in case Reba needed help, the bodyguard could appear immediately and provide timely protection.
Reba couldn’t refuse and could only agree with them.
A whileter, Reba set off. Sitting in the car, she looked at the scenery outside the window slip away behind her, feeling the time pass by so fast.
Three years ago, to save money for Cynthia’s medical treatment, she married Theodore, and Cynthia underwent surgery right after her wedding.
Cynthia’s surgery went smoothly, and after a period of recovery, she was discharged from the hospital.
Later, Cynthia said that she wanted to develop abroad and pursue her dream of studying fashion design again.
Reba supported Cynthia’s dream, and on the day Cynthia left for abroad, she personally saw her off at the
airport.
In the beginning, she would often call Cynthia because she worried that Cynthia would not adapt to living abroad
alone.
Cynthia also cared about her a lot, frequently asking about her married life and fearing that she would have a hard time in the Edwards family.
Cynthia also knew that Reba enrolled in graduate school at Twin Ivy University, and when she found out that Reba hadn’t let her married life deter her from pursuing her goals, Cynthia felt more <b>at </b>ease.

Later, when Theodore woke up, Reba happily told Cynthia the good news, which put Cynthia even more at ease and filled her with genuine joy.
At that time, both she and Cynthia felt that the gloomy days were over and that the future would be wonderful.
But no one could have anticipated that J would fall in love with Theodore the moment he woke up. What followed was something Reba did not wish to recall at any cost.
Reba didn’t want to tell Cynthia about all this. No matter what, Cynthia and J were blood rtives, and she
didn’t want to make Cynthia choose between her and J.
Over time, her contact with Cynthia gradually decreased until <b>now</b>.
