Chapter 141 Just a Guest

Alaina decided to wait until a little past ten.

It was the weekend, and with no delivery work scheduled, she figured it was a good time to clean the entire apartment.

Thankfully, Maia was there to help, and they finished everything before ten o’clock.

Afterward, Caroline went to her room to change, gave Maia a quick heads–up, and headed out.

She took the bus to the Somerton Residence. But unlike before, she didn’t punch in the door code.

Instead, she rang the doorbell.

She had made up her mind to leave this place. It wasn’t her home anymore.

And since it wasn’t home, she was just a guest now.

Even if the code hadn’t been changed, it would’ve felt wrong to use it.

She pressed the doorbell several times before the door finally opened–only to reveal the one person she least wanted to see.

Caroline’s brows instantly furrowed.

She didn’t say a word, simply stepped around her, and headed for the living room.

But Helen wasn’t about to let her go that easily. She placed a hand on Caroline’s back and nudged her toward the couch. “Aunt Caroline, come here! I want to introduce you to someone.”

Helen’s tone and attitude were completely different from the day before, so much so that she didn’t have time to react.

Before she knew it, Helen pushed her to the living room. She was standing by the couch, facing a man. Her brows knit tighter as she tried to figure out who he was.

Before she could ask, Helen leaned in and whispered, “He’s my uncle.”

Then she turned toward the man and added with a smile, “Uncle Jamie, this is Caroline.”

“Uncle Jamie!” Helen called out again, a little louder this time. Jamie finally blinked and stood up, reaching out his hand. “Caroline, nice to meet you. I’m Jamie Wagner.”

Jamie Wagner?

Caroline had heard that name before–Wren had mentioned him over the phone.

No doubt, this is the same Jamie–Wren’s son.

But his mother had already left. What is Jamie doing here?

Seeing his outstretched hand still hanging in the air, Caroline replied politely, “Nice to meet you.”

But before she could take a step, she was shoved forward with surprising force.

Helen knew there was no way to deny it, so she forced a half–hearted smile. “You were staring at Uncle Jamie, so I thought maybe you liked him. I was just trying to help.”
