Chapter 210
Tiffany frowned. "He doesn''t take care of his skin at all; it''s rough as tree bark; I really don''t want to
touch it."
Liam asked, "Who are you saying has a face like tree bark? I''m still young and handsome even
without skincare!"
Tiffany fired back, "Did I say it was you, my dear? You sure are quick to own up!"
Liam was speechless.
"Lucinda, I''ll do this gentleman''s makeup first; we can chatter."
Tiffany was a workaholic and very principled.
She came today at Stefan''s invitation to do Keith''s makeup. She won''t rx and chat until the job
was done.
She didn''t ask about Keith''s identity. Not because she wasn''t curious, but because she knew how
the Andersons were. They''ll tell her what they wanted her to know without her asking.
And they won''t tell her what they didn''t want her to know, even if she bugged Liam.
Liam: You dare to mess with me?
Tiffany raised an eyebrow: Wanna give it a shot?
Back in their fighting days, she could easily take him down, sit on top of him, and give him a good
beating until he cried out loud.
"What look are you going for, sir?"
Stefan chimed in, "Make him look like Baird. It doesn''t have to be an exact match; just a bit of
resemnce will do."
"Alright."
With a reference, Tiffany got to work.
While Tiffany was doing Keith''s makeup, Stefan gave Baird a call, telling him not to show his face
today to avoid blowing their cover.
Hourster.
"Baird" showed up at Pinehurst International Airport with four bodyguards.
"Baird" first flew to Cyrodiil, then from Cyrodiil to Skywatch.
They didn''t fly directly to Skywatch to prevent the real culprits from catching on, since the
Andersons don''t have any business in Skywatch and Baird wouldn''t possibly be there on business.
After seeing off her brother, Lucinda didn''t return to the shop but stayed home with her two moms,
spending more time with her biological mother.
Fiona was very considerate, not wanting topete for Lucinda''s attention with Janice.
She''s had Lucinda for twenty-three years, while Janice had lost her for twenty-three years. It''s only
fair for Janice to enjoy more of Lucinda''spany.
Fiona braced herself when she told Lucinda the truth about her birth.
Now, her daughter hadn''t left her and still called her mom.
Keith also said that the Blues and the Moores should treat each other like family.
As the sun set, the sky and earth were bathed in the fiery glow of the setting sun.
Lucinda and her biological mother were admiring the flowers in the field at the foot of the hill.
When they came to a sea of roses, Janice stopped.
Looking at the sea of roses, she said to Lucinda, "Lucy, we have lots of roses at home too. I love
flowers, like roses, peonies, and camellias; I love them all."
She seemed lost in memories. She looked particrly lucid at the moment.
Lucinda watched her quietly, not bringing up her disappearance casually but waiting for her mother
to recall the past.
After a while, Janice whispered, "When I was living with my parents, my parents and sister-inw
spoiled me rotten. I loved flowers, so they had the gardener nt lots of my favorite flowers. Then I
married Nathan; he spoiled me too."
"He had our front and back yards filled with roses and peonies that I love, turning the Blue estate
into arge garden. Each spring, the flowers would bloom beautifully!"
"Everyone who visited the Blue estate was captivated by the flowers. Those flowers were a
testament to Nathan''s deep love for me. Every time I saw the sea of flowers, my heart would fill with
sweetness. When I was pregnant, even though he was very busy with work, he would still find time
to walk with me in the courtyard every day, admiring the flowers."
"We''d go see the flowers in spring. In summer, we''d go to the sea. In autumn, we''d go see the red
leaves. In winter, he''d take me to see the snow. We were very much in love."

Janice suddenly fell silent, probably recalling some unpleasant memories. Tears rolled down her
cheeks.
"My baby."
Lucinda quickly said, "Your baby''s right here."
Holding the doll tightly in her arms, Janice wiped her tears and said, "I thought that woman from the
Av family really took my baby away."
Lucinda thought to herself: If her mother was willing to recall, she can remember the past. But all
she can remember were the happy times she had with her husband.
Whenever it came to her daughter being taken away, her thoughts became muddled.
She can''t face the reality of losing her daughter and was constantly running away.
Only when she had the courage to face the fact that her daughter was indeed taken away by that
woman from the Avs and had been missing for over twenty years can shee out of her state
of denial. Although it would cause her immense pain, it would also clear her mind.
Of course, it would be a very painful process. Like this morning, Lucinda tried to wake her up, but it
only caused her to flee in pain.
"Mom, there won''t be any women from the Av family here. You don''t have to be afraid. Your
baby''s always here; no one''s going to take your baby away again."
Lucinda gentlyforted her mother.
"Lucy, where''s your dad? Where''s Nathan? Why can''t I find him?"
Janice suddenly started looking for Keith.
Lucinda lied: "He had some business at thepany, so he went back there."
Janice let out a soft sigh, saying, "He''s really busy and worn out. As the head of the Blue family,
he''s got to handle the family business and affairs. He''s given so much for the family, keeping us all
fed and cared for. But some folks just don''t know how to be thankful."
"He told me his personal wealth is growing. He ns to build a business empire for me and our two
kids. When he gets old and steps down from being the family head, even if our son can''t take over
with his business empire, we''ll still live a happy life."
"He said having me and the kids gives him more determination. That''s why his business territory
keeps expanding."
When Janice was in her right mind, she''s very aware that her husband''s personal wealth was on the
rise.
The head of the Blue family was very ambitious and sharp-minded when he was young. Some
twenty years ago, during the rapid economic growth, he seized the opportunity, making a fortune
with ease.
"But there are a lot of women out there who fancy him. Some are bold enough to confess, while
others secretly admire him. They know he’s married with a son and a daughter, but they don’t give
up, always trying to take my ce in his heart. My mother-inw, Lucy, your so-called grandma,
keeps a tight leash on her husband but always tells me to be tolerant."
"She says it''s perfectly normal for Nathan to socialize outside. Even if something happens, as long
as there''s no pregnant woman knocking on our door, we shouldn''t mind her. She also says I already
have a son and a daughter. I''ve secured my position as the housewife, and I shouldn''t worry about
the women trying to seduce my husband; no one can get past me."
Janice suddenly said angrily, "Sometimes, I really feel like finding some young and pretty women for
my father-inw; let Lucy taste what it''s like to share her husband."
