Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 197

Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Double Happiness

In the living room, Lily Adler expressionlessly wiped the saliva from her face with a wet wipe and said to the nanny beside her, "The young miss hasn’t eaten tonight. Prepare a dinner... as soon as the master gets back, send it up to her. Don’t let her go hungry."

The nanny nodded repeatedly. She complimented Lily Adler, "Lily, you’re just too kind. Even after the young miss treated you that way, you’re still so good to her..."

Lily Adler just smiled gently at her words, said nothing more, and went back to her room.

Before long, Hector Hayes and Raymond Hayes returned home from the banquet with Sylvia Lancaster.

As soon as they entered the living room, Raymond Hayes comforted Sylvia Lancaster with a guilty look. "Sylvia, you were wronged today... That girl Clara has been spoiled by the family. She never thinks about the consequences of her actions."

Sylvia Lancaster shook her head, her innocent eyes wide, and replied, "It’s alright, Brother. My sister was just angry for a moment. I can understand. As long as she’s happy, I don’t mind being wronged a little."

Hearing this, Hector Hayes, who was sitting on the sofa, said with relief, "Sylvia is still the sensible one. You’re as gentle and considerate as your mother... If only that girl Clara were half as well-behaved as you."

Sylvia Lancaster lowered her head and gave a shy smile. "I’m already content just to be back home. Dad, Brother, don’t worry. I’ll do my best to get my sister to accept me."

Seeing how sensible Sylvia Lancaster was, Hector Hayes nodded in satisfaction.

Raymond Hayes watched Sylvia Lancaster, his gentle gaze filled with complex emotions.

As the heir to the Hayes Family, Raymond Hayes was extremely sensitive about illegitimate children—he would not allow anyone else to take a slice of the Hayes Family’s pie.

So when he learned that Hector Hayes had brought Lily Adler’s illegitimate daughter home, his plan was to "take care of" Sylvia Lancaster without anyone knowing.

But after meeting Sylvia Lancaster, he was shocked to discover—Sylvia’s eyes and brows bore a slight resemblance to his deceased ex-wife. More than that, there was a red birthmark on the nape of her neck that was nearly identical to the one his ex-wife had!

Raymond Hayes was utterly stunned! He couldn’t believe it—’Could such a coincidence really exist in this world?’

Because of these two coincidences, Raymond Hayes just couldn’t bring himself to harm Sylvia Lancaster...

In his early years, his ruthless methods and habit of dog-eat-dog tactics had made him many enemies, and he had driven many of his rivals to desperation.

One of those rivals, with nowhere left to turn, had resorted to kidnapping his wife and child, determined to take them down with him.

His marriage wasn’t a typical business alliance; they were genuinely in love.

The death of his wife and child had been a devastating blow to him.

For all these years, he had never remarried. In the dead of night, he would think of his deceased wife and child and sit alone until dawn.

Now, a "sister" who bore a striking resemblance to his wife had appeared. Raymond Hayes thought he was going mad. He had the ridiculous thought: ’Did heaven take pity on me and send my wife back?’

After spending a few days with her, Raymond Hayes discovered that besides the birthmark, Sylvia Lancaster’s tone and mannerisms were also very similar to his late wife’s...

Unconsciously, Raymond Hayes found himself wanting to lavish upon Sylvia Lancaster all the longing and guilt he felt for his wife...

Raymond Hayes was lost in memories of his wife when he heard Hector Hayes say, "That temper of hers needs to be dealt with. Let her stay in the Buddhist hall for a day to reflect!"

But Sylvia Lancaster spoke up, "Dad, my sister hasn’t eaten all evening. How can she bear being locked in the Buddhist hall for a whole day? It’s all my fault. Please don’t punish her, okay?"

Looking at Sylvia Lancaster’s earnest and sincere expression, Raymond Hayes’s heart stirred—Sylvia’s soft-heartedness was also just like his wife’s.

Hector Hayes, however, just snorted coldly. "That temper of hers... Sigh..."

Despite his words, Hector Hayes visibly softened. He decided to have Clara Hayes stay in the Buddhist hall for one night and let her out first thing in the morning.

The nanny, seeing Hector Hayes and the others return, quickly followed Lily Adler’s instructions and carried a tray of food to the Buddhist hall.
