Upon hearing the voice, Yanis glanced at Antonio standing beside the car and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This is also your home. Will you come back in the future?" Antonio stood by the car, looking at Yanis, and asked softly.
Before, whenever Yanis was being ignored or neglected, she always consoled herself, saying that no matter how Olivia treated her or how Martin treated her, this place would always be her home, her safe haven.
But later, she gradually realized that this home had nothing to do with her.
She used to always hope that Martin and Olivia would spare her a glance, even just one glance would make her happy.
But they never did, never cared about her, never considered her part of this home.
She was always the outsider.
So later on, she had no expectations for this home anymore.
Now, Antonio's question made Yanis feel a bit bewildered.
Seeing Yanis not speaking for a while, Antonio took a few steps forward towards the car and softly called out, "Sis?"
Upon hearing Antonio's words, Yanis finally came back to her senses, met his gaze, and tried to find the right words to say but couldn't.
It seemed that Antonio also recalled what happened before and stood awkwardly by the car, looking at Yanis. He said softly, "Sis, I know what we did before was excessive and you suffered because of it. We were wrong, and we don't expect you to completely forgive us and let go of the past, but... but we still hope that you'll come home and visit sometimes, even if it's just occasionally."
Hearing Antonio's words, the words she wanted to say choked in her throat, and in the end, under Antonio's gaze, Yanis nodded lightly and softly said, "Okay."
Seeing Yanis agree, a smile appeared on Antonio's face. "Then it's settled."
Yanis softly responded, "I'll be leaving now."
Antonio nodded towards Yanis and stepped back a few steps. "Drive carefully."
Yanis didn't say anything more, started the car, and drove away.
Antonio stood there, watching Yanis' car drive away before withdrawing his gaze and turning back to enter the mansion.
Martin and Olivia were sitting on the living room sofa. When they saw Antonio coming in, they both looked at him.
Antonio saw the two of them looking at him, hesitated for a moment, then went forward and sat down on the sofa opposite them.
"Your sister left?" Olivia looked at Antonio and asked softly.
Antonio nodded. "Just now."
After responding, Antonio's gaze fell on a pair of gift boxes on the side, and then he looked at Chen Shu and Martin, asking, "The Baxter family's gifts, are we not going to return them?"
After Antonio spoke, Martin took over the conversation. "Return them later."
Antonio followed up, "I've already apologized to my sister for what happened before, and she said she'll come home occasionally."
Upon hearing Antonio's words, Olivia's face also showed a bit of a smile. "That's good."
Actually, at first, Olivia had a good attitude towards Yanis as well. However, after Antonio came into the picture, all her care and attention was focused on Antonio, and she completely ignored Yanis.
After all, Antonio was her biological son.
After leaving the Thompson Mansion, Yanis drove aimlessly in the city for a while before finally heading towards the store.
But as she was making a U-turn, a sudden dizziness overwhelmed her, causing her to lose control of the steering wheel and swerve to the side.
Fortunately, it was just a brief moment, and Yanis quickly recovered.
The car behind her cursed a few words after pulling down the window and then drove past Yanis' car.
Yanis didn't dare to continue driving forward and pulled over to the side.
