Perhaps, this was troubledness one felt when they were meeting someone dear to them whom they
had never met for a long time.
Then, Molly’s eyes shifted and looked at Caden. Her eyes were still cold until she stared at him for
some time. Suddenly, she grinned and said warmly, “Why did you come to see me so suddenly,
Caden?”
“Molly…” When Caden heard her gentle voice, the emotions that he was fighting back immediately
poured out as he responded with a trembling voice, “I-I heard them saying that you’re back. So… I
want to see you. I want to see if it’s true, and you’re really back!”
“Yeah! I’m back. I’ve really come back.” Molly smiled as she looked at her “brother,” who was still a kid
back then. Now, he was tall and grown. She was suddenly sentimental, in awe of how time flies.
Caden’s tears fell uncontrollably, hitting the ground as they hit Molly’s heart.
Molly showed a resigned expression and walked toward him to wipe away his tears. She only
realized that she had to look up to see his face when she got closer to him. “Why are you crying? We
don’t get to meet very often,” Molly smiled as she said.
“I really miss you, Molly. I’ve been searching for you everywhere these years, but I can’t get a hold of
you anywhere. I was worried sick!” Caden said.
Caden was sincere while he said that. His worried expression looked exactly like the young boy who
loved to follow Molly around when they were younger.
Molly’s eyes started to water after listening to Caden, who had always been with her since he was little.
Whenever he got bullied, he would hide behind Molly. But when he saw Molly being bullied, he would
stand up for her, vowing to protect his dear sister.
Though Molly was not his biological sister, they still shared a brother-sister bond after spending over a
decade together. Molly would never ignore those years and take it as if it had never happened before.
But Molly was certain that she could not return to that home ever again.
Then, she patted his head and said, “Not bad, you rascal! You’re already taller than me. Why are you
still a crybaby? People are going to see you, aren’t you going to be shy? There, there. Stop crying
already. Come on, go back with me. Let’s continue chatting in my place.”
Caden showed a surprised expression as he thought, ‘Molly still treats me as her brother!’
“Okay!!”
Caden nodded as he responded excitedly. He immediately wiped away his tears and followed Molly in.
Looking at Molly’s back, Caden smiled with glee. He was over the moon. His disappointed look was
replaced with a bright grin as he always adored his sister. Lara immediately followed suit after seeing
Molly turning back into the neighborhood, completely treating her like thin air. “Security! I don’t know
this person, don’t let her in. This is a high-end neighborhood
IBISON
renowned for its security system. Don’t let just anyone in here. Or else, how would we stay here with
confidence?” Molly told the security in a matter-of-fact tone with a cold expression. Even Lara was
almost convinced, let alone the security guard.
The security immediately nodded. “Don’t worry, miss! I’ll follow the procedure and stop outsiders from
entering!”
He then blocked Lara out of the entrance after he was done speaking. Lara did not expect Molly to be
so cold and brutal! Lara yelled, “Molly! What are you saying? I’m your mother! How dare you say you
don’t know me?! You’re being utterly ungrateful! You’ll be damned!” She stood at the entrance of
Terahis Grove, livid.
