“Of course!” Hesperus smiled, and dimples appeared on his face. “I’ll treat you as my real granny. I’m sure Sun and Moon will do the same!”
“Mm.” Rosaline hugged Hesperus tightly. “You’ll always be my dear grandson!”
Alana’s expression gradually sank as she witnessed the scene. Waves of jealousy and resentment assaulted her.
Hah! Looks like blood is thicker than water. Look at the grandmother and the father. What can possibly break those invisible ties apart?
Alana glared at Emmeline resentfully.
Why can’t I ever get rid of that woman?
While Alana was grumbling, the doctor came into the room to conduct a routine check-up, and everyone else had to leave.
“Isn’t it getting late, Abel? Shouldn’t you be at work?” Rosaline asked.
“I’ll go there later,” Abel replied. “I’m still worried about Star.”
“You don’t have to worry about my son, Mr. Ryker. I shouldn’t stop you from your work,” Emmeline said.
“You look tired. Why don’t you go home and rest, and I’ll stay here to take care of Star?” Abel looked at Emmeline with concern.
Emmeline shook her head. “Don’t worry. I’ll be okay.”
Alana rubbed her stomach and said, “That’s right, Abel. Why don’t you spend your time with me instead?”
“This isn’t the time to compare children.” Abel snorted coldly. “You should go home. There’s nothing for you here.”
“But…” Alana did not want to leave.
“I don’t need so many people worrying over Star,” Emmeline said tactfully. “You should go home, Madam.”
“Mm.” Rosaline turned around and prepared to leave.
Alana turned around and walked toward the elevator with Rosaline.
“You should go too,” Emmeline said to Abel. “Company matters are more important.”
“I’m still worried about you two.” Abel frowned.
