Chapter 502
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
I wasn’t sure what Frank said, but Alana suddenly made a tough statement. “Who’s drunk? Fine, you’ll come begging me for help someday!”
With that, she hung up the phone, then looked at me with a smile and said, ” Charlotte, can you do a favor for your future aunt?”
Being an elder seemed to come naturally to her.
I cocked my brows. “Future aunt? Are you really considering remarrying Alex just to move up a generation?”
“That’s worth considering.” Alana winked at me. “So, can you do me a favor?”
“What is the favor?”
“Don’t tell Frank about your relationship with Yasmin.”
“Huh?”
“I haven’t seen Frank get embarrassed before.”
Alana looked quite eager.
I chuckled. “So that’s the favor?”
Alana nodded. “Yes, will you do it or not?”
“I will,” I agreed. Alana is probably the closest to Frank among the younger generation in the Smith family, aside from Megan. I also want to maintain a good relationship with her. Plus, my background will be publicly revealed at tomorrow’s celebration dinner.
Even if I didn’t say anything, Frank would find out tomorrow at the latest.
Alana pinched my face and looked at me with a loving gaze. “No wonder Frank likes you, I like you too!”
I felt helpless.
As soon as Yasmin got into the car, Joanne sat next to her.
“How is it? Is Charlotte upset with you because of your attitude last time?”

“No.” Yasmin still had a hint of tears in her long eyelashes, looking both gratified and pained as she said, “This child has no temper at all. She didn’t mention the previous incident. When I was just coming downstairs… she even called me ‘Mom‘!”
Joanne was also pleased for her. “That’s good, that’s good! When are you planning to do a paternity test?”
“Not necessary!”
Yasmin replied firmly without hesitation, “Joanne, you might not believe it, but when she called me ‘Mom,‘ the feeling in my heart was completely different!”
Over the years, whether it was young actors calling her that while filming, or Christine calling her before, none of it compared to the impact of Charlotte’s “Mom.” Previously, when acknowledging Christine, she had many doubts and concerns, and she strived for absolute accuracy in the paternity test. But this time, it felt like there was a guiding force, and she was very certain that Charlotte was her daughter!
Her biological daughter that she carried for ten months and gave birth to with all her strength!
Although Joanne also felt that Charlotte resembled Yasmin’s daughter more, she was a rational person and asked, “Have you thought it through? Aren’t you afraid of repeating the same mistakes?”
She was naturally referring to the incident with Christine’s false claims.
Hearing this, Yasmin closed her eyes briefly. “Joanne, I understand your concerns, but I really feel that mother–daughter connection. Besides, what she needs most right now is complete maternal love. I shouldn’t doubt her to avoid… leaving any rift.” Joanne was silent for a moment. “Then let’s leave it for now and decide later!”
She then remembered something, “Oh, by the way, ‘Slow Life‘ called me earlier. They’re about to start editing the first episode and asked us how we’d like it cut.” ‘Slow Life‘ was the variety show that Christine was currently filming.
The show’s crew probably asked this because Christine didn’t perform well in some parts, but there were aspects that could create a topic. Hence, they came to ask Yasmin’s opinion.
