“Oh, Ayaan, you’re so filial!” Alexia beamed and then turned to Ranita, saying, “It’s good that you’re back! Your father is waiting inside for you!”


    “Mmm!” Ranita brought two suitcases with her this time, and Jedidiah managed them alone.


    Ranita took Ayaan to see Benedict.


    Benedict had undergone surgery and was now in recovery, looking noticeably thinner. His white hair had increased significantly.


    Ranita’s eyes welled up, her voice choked, “Dad! I’m back.”


    “Ranita, you finally came back!” Benedict reached out, and Ranita quickly held his hand. “Dad, don’t move.”


    “Alright! I won’t move!” Benedict patted her hand. “It’s good that you’re back! It’s good that you’re back!”


    “Ayaan,e here and let me see you!” Benedict beckoned to Ayaan, and the little one obediently approached, calling out, “Grandpa, are you feeling better?”


    “Where does it hurt? Let me blow on it for you.”


    Hearing Ayaan’s innocent words, Benedict smiled and said, “I don’t feel any pain when I see you!”


    “From now on, you and your Mommy will live here, okay?”


    Ayaan looked at Ranita, saw her nod, and then nodded along, saying, “Mm-hmm! Grandpa, I’ll keep youpany from now on.”


    The little one was cute, soft, and talkative, which made Benedict delighted. His mood improved a lot, and even hisplexion looked better.


    The warm atmosphere continued until Chole returned.


    Chole looked coldly at Ranita and Ayaan, her voice indifferent, “Mom, brother, why did you have dinner without waiting for me toe back?”


    “Chole? Weren’t you on a business trip?” Alexia immediately put down her fork. “Since you’re back, go wash your hands and sit down to eat!”


    “Ranita and Ayaan officially moved back today. You have to get along well with them in the future,” Alexia said gently, helping Chole with the dishes.


    Perhaps because Alexia was present, Chole seemed more restrained.


    When Alexia left the table to see Benedict, Chole immediately changed her attitude. “Brother, should you have asked for my opinion before bringing her and her child back? Aren’t I also a part of the family?”


    Jedidiah frowned and called the maid to take Ayaan back to the room.


    “You were on a business trip, so I didn’t have a chance to tell you. Mom and Dad insisted on this matter. No matter what prejudices you have against Ranita, I hope you can restrain yourself. Ranita is not just my sister, but also yours.”


    Jedidiah was truly disappointed in Chole. He had initially thought that giving her some time would make here to her senses, but after so many years, Chole hadn’t changed at all.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    “My sister? What qualifications does she have to be my sister? She took my ce and lived a life of luxury, but in the end, how did she treat me…”


    “Chole! Shut up!” Jedidiah rebuked. “I’ve told you many times, Ranita had nothing to do with what happened to you!”


    Chole widened her eyes, her teeth clenched in anger. “Brother, you said you’re not biased towards her! Why don’t you believe me when I speak? I’m one of the parties involved, and I’m also your own sister. You’d rather believe her than me?”


    “I really can’t stand you!” Chole said angrily before storming off.


    “Chole…” Jedidiah called out to her, but Chole ignored him and walked away. After a while, he sighed and said to Ranita, “Ranita, deal with Chole… please be more considerate.”
