Chapter 36


    Chapter 36 Emily’s Certainty


    The shocking scene scared Elva so much that she rushed over to her


    mom.


    She squatted down and patiently put her arm around Emily and said, “Mom, don’t cry. Now that


    Seraphinaes back, you should take care of yourself.”


    Thomas and Waldron walked over. When they heard Emily’s voice, they thought she recognized her


    daughter.


    Thomas held Emily and asked softly, “Emily, our daughter is back. You don’t have to worry about her


    anymore.”


    Thomas looked to Be who was standing to the side and waved at her.


    Be hesitated for a moment but finally walked over.


    “Look, our daughter is now standing in front of us, and we will never be separated again.” Thomas took


    Be’s hand and folded it with Emily’s.


    Emily stared at Be.


    Waldron coldly reminded his father, “Dad, look at what is in Mom’s hand.”


    Only then did Thomas notice that Emily was holding something.


    It was a piece of cotton cloth, empty and a little yellowed, but Emily was tugging on it tightly like she


    was holding a rare treasure.


    Thomas gazed at the piece of cloth and thought about it. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he hurriedly


    asked, “Where do you get this?”


    Elva couldn’t tell what it was either, but she thought it had to be something meaningful judging from her


    mom’s reaction.


    The cloth was white, a little yellowed, and looked old.


    Elva nced at Be.


    “It belongs to Seraphina,” Emily answered, folding the cloth in her hand carefully and cing it in her


    upper pocket.


    Elva nced at the cloth again and felt familiar. She had seen it somewhere before, but couldn’t


    remember it precisely for the moment.


    Thomas looked at Be and asked with a shivered voice, “Is this


    yours?”


    Be stared at that cloth and was just about to deny it when Elva spoke, “It’s Be’s, I’ve seen it on


    Be’s desk before.”


    Be’s didn’t say a thing.


    It took a great deal of courage to admit that the cloth belonged to her.


    From yesterday to today, she had been shocked by the Friedan family’s wealth. And the three young


    masters of the Friedan family dazzled her with their handsomeness.


    If she could stay in a family as rich as the Friedan family, she didn’t have to be Seraphina. She could


    be a Mrs. Friedan!


    Be echoed Elva by default.


    “Yes, it’s mine. I’ve been carrying this piece of cloth with me since I was little, and somehow it fell out.”


    Elva gritted her teeth and clenched her fists as she saw the smug look on Be’s face. She secretly


    rolled her eyes.


    Be Young, what a gold digger.


    Thomas was very happy at Be’s answer. “I know! This must be Seraphina’s napkin. It was popr in


    those days to put a napkin on the baby’s neck. I didn’t expect that you still kept it after so many years.”


    Be also looked a little touched, “Since I was a child, I knew that I’m not the biological daughter of my


    parents. My foreign adoptive parents didn’t make my origins a secret. They gave me this napkin.”


    “So is this napkin the only thing that your adoptive parents gave you?” Thomas asked, “Anything else


    such as clothes or shoes?”


    Thomas began to interrogate. Be didn’t know what to say for a


    moment.


    She looked nervously at Elva.


    Elva threw herself into Thomas’ arms and pouted, “Dad, let’s save these questions until the test results


    come out. We should ask Be’s adoptive parents – it has been a long time, and Be must have


    forgotten.”


    “You’re right,” Thomasughed, “And I don’t think we need the test results. This napkin is evidence that


    solid enough to prove Be’s identity.”


    Thomas had already recognized Be.


    Waldron observed Be’s reaction, not letting go of any subtle expression on her face.


    Whether or not this cloth was Be’s remained to be investigated, but its sudden appearance was


    outrageous.

    There were too many coincidences when looking at the whole thing.


    He walked next to Ervin and asked in a low voice, “Have you investigated Be?”


    Ervin nodded, “I have. Nothing abnormal. The timeline matched.”


    Waldron signed, “Then all we can do is wait for the test results.”


    “Excuse me for a moment,” Waldron pointed at Thomas. “Stop him if he makes any impulsive decision.


    He could embarrass the whole family.”


    Ervinughed. “Don’t worry, I will. I’ll make sure nothing happens until the test resultse out.”


    Waldron nodded at him. He took the car keys and headed to the underground garage.


    Time was up. It was the time for him to go get the results.


    Seeing Waldron leave, Elva blinked and she quietly sent a message to Rosalie.


    ***


    It was a beautiful day. After a good sleep, udia woke up early.


    She was in the house making breakfast when she heard a car outside her door.


    Looking through the window, a Maybach pulled up at her gate. Then the door opened and Edmond


    stepped out of the car.


    He wore a white T-shirt and ck trousers. His dark hair was nicely ruffled and ttened around his


    forehead, covering the darkness of his


    eyes.


    udia was surprised.


    What was he doing here?


    He was too impatient to wait for the divorce.


    The sunshine shone through the leaves and made Edmond’s face


    blurred in shadow.


    Edmond nced at her house.


    Soon after, udia’s cell phone rang


    “Hello.”


    Edmond’s low voice came through the other side of the phone, “I’m at your house.”


    “Did you have breakfast?” udia sounded calm. She continued cooking.


    He paused for a few seconds and asked hesitantly, “Can I eat here?”


    udiaughs softly, “If you want to.”


    Today was the day of their divorce. She had thought through about it, so she was calm when facing


    him.


    Time could settle everything.


    udia opened the door and Edmond walked in.


    Edmond felt dazzled when he saw udia in an apron.


    Her eyes were clear and bright. And her rosy lips curved into a smile. Her pretty long hair and beautiful


    face made the air in the kitchen gently fresh.


    He had never seen her being so rxed.


    In the past, they lived in a vi. She would ask him if he was hungry when he came backte in the


    night, make him snacks without waking up the maids, and ask with a careful tone if they were tasty.


    Once he came backte and saw her asleep on the sofa with a nutritional guide in her hand.


    That was when he realized how she had be such a good cook.


    He sat down at the table and a te of pasta was brought to him.


    “I didn’t expect you toe, so I put chili in it.”


    Seeing Edmond staring at the pasta, udia assumed he got stumped by the chili on the pasta.


    “I thought you can’t eat spi cy food,” said Edmond.


    udia froze. Thinking back at the time she spent in the Lamont family, she told Edmond that she


    couldn’t eat spi cy food to cater to his


    tastes.


    She was momentarily speechless at Edmond’s words.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
