Heiress Returns Family Shocks (Nina Swanson) novel Chapter 329

329 Chapter 329

329.Chapter 329

The next day, Melody arrived in Riverdale. After meeting Miranda Melody took her along to the Swanson residence.

Since Philip was staying at the Carroll residence, he tagged along as well.

When Sarah heard they were coming, she rallied the whole Swanson family early to greet their guests.

“Loren, Melody, welcome!” Sarah greeted them with a warm smile as they walked in.

Melody had her people bring in the gifts and then said with a smile, “Sorry for dropping by so suddenly. I hope we’re not interrupting anything.”

“Oh, please, don’t say that. Honestly, I should’ve done better,” Sarah said, sounding a bit guilty. “I’ve always wanted to visit Ruby, but Nina said she wasn’t in Riverdale, so I never got the chance.

“I never realized Ruby’s family was here. If I’d known, we would’ve come to see you first.”

Sarah gestured for Loren and Melody to come inside, and then added, “If it weren’t for Ruby, I probably never would’ve seen Nina again.

“Our family owes you a huge debt of gratitude, and yet you’re the ones coming to visit us. I really feel bad about that.”

Just after breakfast, Nina came looking for Sarah and told her that Loren and Melody were coming over for a visit.

Sarah didn’t immediately realize who Loren and Melody were.

Nina explained that they were Scarlet’s parents.

Then she told Sarah that Scarlet’s real name was actually Ruby James.

Sarah was stunned and thought that she couldn’t let them come to her first. That was improper.

But it was too late. The Carroll family was already in Riverdale.

Not wanting to be rude, Sarah wasted no time and got the lunch preparations started right after breakfast.

She personally oversaw everything, making sure not a single thing went wrong.

These were truly honored guests. If it hadn’t been for Ruby, Nina wouldn’t have made it past age six. Sarah knew she owed Ruby a huge debt.

But just ten minutes ago, it dawned on Sarah that there really weren’t many people named Carroll in the whole country. And the wealthiest tycoon in Roveilia was Carroll.

She voiced her suspicion to Nina, and when Nina confirmed it, Sarah was floored.

Suddenly, she started panicking, worried her hospitality wouldn measure up, and she’d end up making a bad impression. “Oh, don’t say that,” Melody replied with a warm smile. “Shirley raised Nina, and Nina saved Loren. If we keep acting so formally, we’ll end up feeling like strangers. We’re all family here Let’s not stand on ceremony.”

“Exactly,” Sarah chimed in, smiling. “We’re all family. Nina told me you bought the house next door. Are you planning to stay around Riverdale for a while?”

Sarah couldn’t help but feel awkward about how things turned out.

She had no clue the Carroll family had been living right next door this whole time. She couldn’t help but feel a wave of guilt. “Yes. Shirley left behind a child.” Melody glanced at Miranda, gently taking her hand. “She had a rough time. We wanted to bring her home, but Nina wanted to keep her close and teach her herself.

“Honestly, Nina’s amazing, and Miranda’s bound to pick up a lot from her. But I missed her so much, I just had to come over and see her.”

“I only just heard about Miranda from Nina,” Sarah said warmly. Don’t worry, from now on, she’s family. I’ll treat her just like I do Nina,”

“Thank you, I really appreciate it,” Melody replied.

The elders chatted and caught up, while Sarah’s daughters-in-law bustled around, serving coffee and refreshments to

everyone.

Loren was nothing like the relatives who’d visited the Swansons before. Everyone was on their best behavior, not daring to let their guard down for a moment.

This time, everything went smoothly, and every

Off to the side, Lily watched Miranda chatting and laughing with Sarah, feeling choked up inside.

She was the first one to reach out to Miranda.

She could’ve helped Miranda get back into the Hawthorne family and get on David’s good side.

That way, she’d have the Hawthome family backing her up.

Even if her dad never took her back, with some backup, getting back into the Nicholson family would be way easier.
