Chapter 414
Minnie drew out her words with a playful lilt, her fingers adorned with sparkling nail art gracefully moving
to form a fist.
The director caught the hint right away. “Got it!” With a respectful bow, she quickly peeled the mask off Minnie’s face. “I’ll fetch Mrs. Lydia for you. Just a second.”
In the plush VIP lounge of Sunny Glow Beauty Salon, Minnie lounged on the couch, fresh from her facial, looking every bit the vibrant rose she was.
However, the smile playing on her lips was not one of sweetness. It was a cocktail of pride, a dash of scorn, and a hint of fierce intensity.
Love might make a girl’s brain go fuzzy, but even though she was head over heels for Walter, she would not let her crew get too cheeky.
Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Minnie straightened up, her heart racing but her voice steady as she called, “Enter.”
The door swung open to reveal a hand as delicate as porcelain. “Julia, I missed you so much!*
Lydia, decked out in the latest fashion and teetering on stilettos, glided into the room.
Minnie took in her mother’s chic look and breathed a sigh of relief. She sure was thriving. “I’ve been by Walter’s side a lot lately, making sure we can really plant our roots in Avalon City. It’s just something we’ve gotta do.”
As they settled into the sofa’s embrace, Lydia wrapped Julia in a warm hug. At the mention of Walter, Lydia’s eyes lit up with hope. “Julia, have you and Walter… patched things up?”
She could never forget the way Walter used to be so distant to her own daughter. Could a guy as aloof ast him really make things right with Julia?
After everything the Rearden family had been through, her heart ached for her daughter.
“Mm.” Minnie’s voice was soft, but she could not stop a blush from spreading across her cheeks. “That’s all in the past. I’m Minnie now, and Walter and I are starting fresh.”
“That’s wonderful, truly wonderful.” Lydia clutched Minnie’s hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
“Julia, I caught the buzz about you and Walter at the cafe. You’ve got to grab this chance. Imagine having Walter’s baby soon. Even if the Gordons weren’t thrilled about you at first, they’d open their doors wide for the sake of their future grandson.”
The thought of finally becoming Walter’s mother–in–law sent Lydia’s heart racing.
However, her words only reminded Minnie of her own troubles.
