“You may leave if you have no other business here. I’m going to the hospital to visit my grandchild.”
Audrey could not be bothered to continue the conversation. She made it obvious that she wanted Belinda to leave and even stood up to see her off.
No matter how shameless Belinda was, she would not stay after being told to leave.
She thought Audrey would welcome her with open arms.
Audrey probably had some inkling of the crimes Belinda had committed despite not possessing evidence. It was good enough that she did not chase Belinda away immediately.
With that thought, Belinda felt relieved. However, she probably could not be as close to Audrey, Serenity, and Liberty as she wanted. Audrey was likely certain that Belinda was the murderer.
Belinda stood and said, “I’ll be returning to Jensburg in a few days. Call me when your grandchild is a month old, Drey. I’ll come over for the celebration.”
“Goodbye, Madam Fisher.”
Audrey did not give a definite answer.
Belinda stared at her for a moment, then nodded toward Darrell. Audrey’s husband probably had the same status in the family as Hunter. Women of the Fisher family were mostly assertive.
Audrey lifted the gifts Belinda had brought. She could not lift them all alone, so Darrell helped his wife right away. They returned everything to Belinda.
“Drey, this is for your daughter-in-law. Although we’re estranged, we’re still family. It’s a little gift from me to the young ones. Don’t refuse it.”
“Thanks, but we don’t lack supplements. Please take them back. If you don’t, it’ll be handled as trash here.”
Audrey would never let Alice eat anything Belinda gave.
Belinda had no words.
Audrey really showed no respect to her at all.
