Chapter 196
After Seth returned to the office, he began tackling the pile of work he had left
behind. By the time he finished, it was already dark outside.
He signed the final document on his desk, capped his pen, and left the office
with his jacket in hand.
As he passed by the secretarial office, Selena rushed over, but he was
already in the elevator before she could say a word.
“You can clock off,” he said.
She stood there, watching the elevator doors close, her words stuck in her
throat.
Jordan was waiting for Seth downstairs. As soon as he saw Seth, he
respectfully opened the car door for him.
“Are we heading back to the hillside vi?”
Seth simply hummed in acknowledgment and closed his eyes.

Jordan started the car and drove towards the outskirts of the city.
After about 30 minutes of driving on the highway around the hill, the car
finally stopped in front of the vi’s yard.
Seth was exhausted and didn’t notice the additional car parked in the yard.
When he got out of the car, he looked up and saw a woman standing in front
of the vi’s doors.
“Seth!”
His entire body tensed up. He didn’t move from his spot beside the car. It took
him a few moments before he could finally speak, “Why are you here?”
“How can you talk to me like that?” Erin pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. She
walked down the steps and linked her arm with his. “Can’t I visit you?”
As one of the famous actresses who had millions of young men and women
fawning over her, Erin was still beautiful even though her youth had faded
away. So, when she stood beside him, she looked more like his sister than his
mother.

There was a cold look on his face as he pulled his arm away from her and
ndly stated, “You could have called me if you wanted to see me. I would
have paid you a visit.”
She stomped her foot and huffed haughtily, “What’s wrong with you? Can’t I
stay with you whenever I want?”
She looked at the vi and continued, “I’ve already looked into it. You live all
alone, and you don’t bring home anypany. So, why are you afraid that I’ll
pop in to say hi?”
He sighed in resignation before muttering, “I wouldn’t be afraid of your visits if
there was a woman in charge of my household.”
“What do you mean by that?” she snapped. Then, she grabbed his arm and
gently shook it. “Have you been busytely? Did you miss me?”
The servants, who were going about their business, were utterly speechless.
They couldn’t even imagine the possibility of Seth saying he missed his
mother. In all honesty, they would sooner see the moon turn blue before that

ever happened.

Seth’s face turned dark as he broodily stomped into the house. “Busy, and no.”
She had to jog to keep up with him. Her heels clicked against the floor as she
chased after him, grumbling all the way, “How could you not miss me?”
Meanwhile, Isabe had spent a few hours familiarizing herself with her new
home. Then, she got to work.
She reviewed the Shaffer Group purchase proposal she received from
Nics after examining Nemotors’ current situation. She spent the whole
afternoon reading through the information packet. It wasn’t until it was dark
outside that she realized she hadn’t eaten.
Initially, she was worried there would be no food avable in the apartment.
To her surprise, the fridge was stocked with fresh vegetables of all kinds. So,
she couldn’t resist opening all the cabs to check things out. They were
filled with daily necessities and more. It was as if someone had been living
there the whole time.
Mon,

However, she pushed that thought aside and decided to cook a simple dish.
Once dinner was ready, she took a shower.
The closet was empty except for two sleep robes. She started the washing
machine and washed her current clothes. Of course, she nned to sleep in
one of the robes provided since she didn’t have any spare clothes. She would
have to go home tomorrow to retrieve some of her clothes.
The bathtub in the bathroom was huge. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call
it a miniature swimming pool.
Ignoring the potential cost of the water bill, she filled the tub to the brim and
slid into the water.
She hadn’t slept a wink the entire night, and her day had been so eventful
that she was only standing due to the adrenaline rushing through her veins.
Now that she had a chance to rx, she felt her entire body go limp as her
soul ascended beyond the mortal ne.
The morefortable she became, the more rxed she felt. Naturally, the
urge to sleep grew stronger. She didn’t even realize that her body was slowly

The temperature in the room continued to rise as danger crept closer to her.
