Celiar“…” 

That night, Evelyn prepared a meal. Seeing her favorite dishes, Celia’s eyes welled up. Sitting beside Evelyn, she ate the braised pork, almost swallowing her tongue. She ate voraciously, blushing when she saw Lily staring at her. 

Lily, I’m sorry.” 

ly shook her head. “I’m not the only one who thinks Mommy’s cooking is delicious! Celia, eat 

mote!” 

At the Reed residence, Evelyn had been responsible for Caleb and the children’s meals, constantly criticized by them. Tommy only liked her cooking but always pretended to eat reluctantly. “Tommy, if you don’t want to eat, don’t eat it,” Lily had advised. 

“I’m giving her face!” He’d learned this from his grandmother: as the future heir, he couldn’t show his true preferences. He wanted Evelyn to become a better, more capable wife. But once the heart is pierced, even if the wound heals, a scar remains. Even if their mother had shortcomings, Lily couldn’t bear to see Evelyn hurt. Eating her mother’s cooking was a source of happiness. 

Seeing Celia eat so happily, Evelyn felt relieved. Her home–cooked food was delicious; her seven years at the Reed residence had eroded her confidence. 

Celia finished a bowl of rice and got another one. They devoured all the food. After dinner, Celia and Lily washed the dishes, then took out the trash. 

Evelyn poured three glasses of warm water and came out of the kitchen. Celia took a stack of documents from her suitcase. 

“Evelyn, look at these. Sign if they’re okay.” 

Evelyn picked up a document. After reading a few paragraphs, she asked, “This is a stock transfer agreement?” 

Celia nodded.“Everything I own is because of you. I want to return what belongs to you.”

“I’m just an ordinary person! You pulled me out of the mud!” Celia’s voice choked. 

Her family was difficult; she struggled to escape. Evelyn had helped her, bringing her to Beijing. Compared to Evelyn, her qualifications were ordinary. In Beijing, Evelyn supported her for a 

year. 

Evelyn, recruited into Chase Moon, recommended Celia as her navigator. Vincent and the others, hired engineers, struggled to communicate with Celia at first. Evelyn had helped her grow. When they parted ways, Evelyn gave Celia most of her savings, sending her abroad to study.

Celia rested her head on Evelyn’s shoulder.I studied many subjects, but I’m not out our for research, so I pursued art, design, and appreciation. You supported my education, pring me the capital and confidence to pursue my dreams.

Celia’s ears turned red. She finally had the courage to say what she’d kept inside for so long Warmth flooded Evelyn’s chest. She cupped Celia’s face, softly rubbing it. “Mm, this time, I won’t disappoint you.” 

“Lily, Celia staying at your house must be inconvenient, right? 

In her bedroom, Lily opened her smartwatch, hearing Damon’s voice message. She pressed record.“Uncle Sterling, I’m fine; Celia is comfortable here. She was so moved by Mommy’s cooking, she almost cried!” 

Damon, hearing this, felt a burning resentment in his dark eyes. The pretty boy was acting! And Evelyn fell for it. 

He asked, “What is Celia doing now?” He had to keep an eye on Celia! 

Lily opened her door, glanced out, then closed it before saying, “Celia is hugging Mommy right now.” She smiled sweetly, “Celia is going to take a shower.” 

Damon felt a shock; he couldn’t breathe. He stood up abruptly, unable to endure any longer.
