After reaching her destination, Josephine walked into the manor with a bag of fruits that she had. bought from a random stall

No matter what Josephine bought, Nancy would end up hating it

and two children, attended the event merrily

The moment Josephine entered the grounds, she could hear peals of children’s laughter

Their joyful giggles attacked her like a swarm of invisible bees, stinging her heart and leaving behind nothing but dull throbs of pain

Josephine stood under her umbrella in the courtyard as she watched two children rush in her direction. A child who seemed to be seven years old ended up bumping into her leg

Josephine stumbled a little and almost fell down as a result

The mute is here! She’s here!The boy started running circles around Josephine while crowing

about her identity as a mute

He dug into her mental scar mercilessly in such an angelic and adorable voice while donning an innocent and naïve facade. It was as if he had no idea that the words he spoke could easily harm 

others

Josephine tuned him out easily while making her way toward the living room of the manor

However, the boy rushed toward her and tried to yank the bag from her hands. Josephine’s grip tightened around the bag without any intention to release it

Give it to me!The boy raised his head to glare at Josephine angrily. The latter just stared down at him calmly, still refusing to let go

The moment she entered the manor, she could feel the malice soaking into the atmosphere, which also brought out an underlying resentment that had been growing within her heart

Josephine clutched the bag stubbornly, not knowing if pain or resentment were the main emotions clogging her heart at the moment 

How can the Alvarez family lead such happy lives? Must my children die at the hands of this despicable family due to the fact that I’m mute? Is it because of my disability that I must be branded as a sinner? Do I not deserve a happy ending at all?she thought resentfully 

Meanwhile, the boy was furious because of Josephine’s stubbornness. He yanked the bag with gritted teeth, but to no avail In the end, he even started raising his leg just to kick Josephine

To defend herself from the boy’s attacks, Josephine released her hold on the bag while avoiding the kick Now that the boy lost the constant beam of support that held him up during the struggle, he ended up crashing on his butt due to the momentum. The fruits that were in the bag were scattered everywhere and were all coated in filthy tud 

As the pain started to set in from the fall, the boy sat on the damp ground while wailing his lungs 

out 

Of course, his loud cries attracted the people who had been hanging out in the living room

Lily rushed up to the boy and helped him up before patting the dirt from his clothes. Caleb, are you alright?” 

As Caleb Alvarez sobbed, he pointed at Josephine and started wailing to his mother about what happened in an aggrieved manner

Everyone turned their accusatory gazes at Josephine. They made her seem like she was an 

atrocious sinner

She could only grip her umbrella tightly to the point that her knuckles whitened

Daphne decided to break the tension by halfjoking about the situation. Josephine, you’re already an adult, so why are you still bullying kids?” 

Lily was a lot older than Josephine, seeing as she was already 35 years old this year. However, she maintained herself well, so she still looked like she was in her late 20s

She muttered, How rude.However, her voice was very soft, so the words were drowned out by 

Caleb’s loud cries

Forget about that. Did Caleb get hurt?Nancy butted in. What’s the use of saying all those things to a mute? Get him into the manor first; it’s still raining, after all.” 

Since Caleb wasn’t bloodrelated to Nancy, she could care less about his condition

Lily scooped the crying boy into her arms before shooting Josephine a glare and turning on her 

heel to enter the manor

It was still drizzling outside, so everyone quickly returned to the manor

Poor Josephine remained standing in the same spot while watching the Alvarez family enter the 

manor

Meanwhile, Seth bent down to pick up the bag. Then he gathered all the fruits and placed them in the bag before approaching Josephine

Josephine, the fruits are all bruised from the fall. Do you still want them?”

Josephine turned her gaze to the man next to him, soon noticing the perfect smile that was sewn across his face. It wasn’t a smile that made her feel comfortable in the man’s presence, but at the same time, it wasn’t a cold and distant smile either

Seth’s smile was like a mask that covered his face. No one could see what his actual expression 

was under that smile

Josephine took the bag of fruits from Seth’s hands while nodding at him to indicate her gratitude

When she was grabbing the bag, her fingers accidentally brushed against his hand. Seth folded his hands behind his back after the exchange while caressing the same spot over and over again as though he were remembering her touch

Josephine raised her head and noticed the hint of joy sparkling in Seth’s eyes, she pursed her lips. at this sight

A moment later, she picked out a beautiful apple and handed it to him

Seth raised an eyebrow in return. Is this for me?” 

The woman nodded quietly

He laughed and extended a hand to accept the apple. Thanks, Josephine.” 

Josephine looked down at her feet while tightening her grip on the bag of fruits

After that, Seth spoke up. Let’s go in. Dad is waiting for us.” 

He took the lead, so Josephine followed him obediently
