Chapter 545
Tilly hesitated in speaking and blushed, and Wendy was sure that something else must have
happenedst night. When she heard what she said, Wendy couldn''t help but ask in surprise, "Is
your mother back?"
"Yes!" Tilly nodded. "She got off the ne early this morning and asked me to invite you to have
lunch together!"
If her mother hadn''t called her early in the morning, Tilly might have been able to stay longer in that
warm embrace. The more she thought about it, the redder her face became. She was afraid of
being seen through, so she quickly bowed her head to avoid Wendy''s eyes.
Wendy didn''t notice it but recalled what she and Charlie had talked about. She simply nodded and
said, "Okay!"
She called Charlie, who had already arrived at the airport, and told him this matter. After going
upstairs and changing her clothes, she went out of the vi with Tilly.
They went to an Italian restaurant. Since they arrived there a little early, they waited for a while in
their seats.
About ten minutester, a beautiful woman in her fifties walked in from the door. She, wearing a
ck suit and a pair of sunsses, looked very elegant and walked in under the guidance of a
waiter.
"Mom, here!"
Tilly immediately stood up from her seat and identally knocked over her ss.
Jazmin quickly walked up to them. She red at Tilly and scolded with a smile. "You''re no longer a
child, but you''ve always been so reckless!"
Tilly smirked and then introduced, holding her mom''s arm, "Mom, this is Wendy!"
"How can you call her Wendy? She''s your elder cousin, and you should know how to show respect
for your elders!" Jazmin scolded Tilly.
"But we''re also best friends!" Tilly tilted her head on Wendy''s shoulder and asked intimately, "Am I
right, Wendy?"
Wendy nodded, feeling a little nervous.
It was her first time to meet Jazmin, so she was a little shy to greet her. To her surprise, Jazmin took
the lead toe over to her — she gently put her hands on her belly and said with a smile,
"Congrattions..."
Because of this loving touch, Wendy suddenly had a feeling of kinship with this blood-rted aunt.
"I heard that it''s less than two months old. You should pay more attention to your baby in the early
pregnancy!" Jazmin reminded her in a soft voice and gently touched her belly through her clothes.
"Thank you!" Wendy said gratefully.
"Wendy, you should call her aunt!" Tilly reminded her aside.
Wendy swallowed nervously and said, "Thank you, aunt..."
Jazmin invited them to sit down with a genuine smile on her face. She seemed to be an easy- going
person. "My brother and father have already recognized you as our family member, and I''m also
very d to be your aunt. I''ve been living abroad for many years so that I may not follow family
traditions sometimes. Today, I didn''t prepare any gift presented to you at our first meeting, but I''d
like to treat you to dinner!"
Wendy smiled and nodded. Then, the waiter brought them the menu.
Jazmin, a sensible and kind elder, avoided those dishes that pregnant women could not eat and
ordered only nutritious food that was good for Wendy, who was very grateful upon noticing it.
Before the starters had been served, Tilly asked, "Mom, you got off the ne early in the morning,
but you meet me at noon. Where have you been all this time?"
"As soon as I got off the ne, I took a taxi to the cemetery to see your aunt from the Hogg family."
After saying that, Jazmin snorted and continued, "Then, I went straight to the Gray family to get
justice for you!"
Tilly''s aunt from the Hogg family was certainly Charlie''s mother, who had married Gilbert. Wendy
learned about this rtionship from Charlie. The first thing Jazmin did after returning to the country
was to visit her deceased friend. It was enough to show that she valued rtionships a lot.
"Have you been to the Gray family''s old house?" Tilly asked in a hurry after hearing this.
"Oh, of course not!" Jazmin sneered. "You kept the incident about the rat poison to yourself, but I
can''t just let it go. Even if we don''t have any evidence, I must frighten the mother and daughter.
How dare they bully my daughter? How dare they look down on me?"
Tilly saw the look of surprise on Wendy''s face and exined, "Didn''t I tell you that I had no evidence
about the rat poison? In fact, I suspected that Madge was the one who yed a trick because I only
told her about the matter that day. After that, thexative was reced by rat poison. Unfortunately,
I have no evidence about that!"
"Mom, it''s good for you to help me vent my anger!" In the end, she said to Jazmin.
After hearing it, Wendy was quite surprised.
She was not surprised about this thing. Instead, it didn''t ur to her that she happened to think the
same as what Tilly said - she always felt that this thing had something to do with Madge. Now it
turned out that they had the same view.
Then the waiters served the starters and the main dishes one after another.
Wendy rolled up some pasta with a fork, chewed it for some time, and swallowed it. After a pause,
she slowly asked, "Aunt, are you familiar with Linda?"

"Um, when we just graduated from college, we had been workmates. But we drifted a little apart
after she married your father. Later, I took Tilly to Ennd, and we barely contact each other!"
Jazmin nodded and began to recall. "To be honest, it isrgely because of me that she could marry
my brother. At that time, she often came to me and we would go to work together. Since she came
to my home frequently, she got to know my brother. More than once, Linda told me in private that
she liked him. She even secretly ced many gifts into his room!1''
"Then how much do you know about my father and her, my mother?" Wendy asked, pursing her
lips.
Perhaps, it was because her question came abruptly, Jazmin was slightly startled and lost hold of
the fork in her hand. It dropped onto the ground with a crisp sound. The waiter next to them quickly
went forward, picked up the fork, and gave her a new set.
Tilly asked in confusion, "Mom, are you all right? Are you a little tired after the long flight?"
"I''m fine!" Jazmin realized that she had lost herposure. She quickly waved her hand to deny it
and took the new set of tableware. When she saw that Wendy on the opposite side was looking at
her, she forced a smile and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have seen your mother."
"Really?" Wendy asked in surprise.
"Yes!" Jazmin nodded andughed as if she had thought of something interesting. "I was also a
student at that time, and my big brother was studying abroad. When he came back on holiday, he
would always talk about a girl named Aubree. Every time he mentioned her, he was delighted,
saying that he would marry her and give birth to enough children to make up a football team! I said
he was shameless to say that!"
"After he returned home, he took me to see your mother once. Especially shy she was that she
always hid behind him and talked in a mild tone. I deliberately called her sister-inw, and since
then, her face had always been red!"
