The person who would rush over to look for Mommy at all costs was Daddy, right?
Melody sighed silently as she watched Duke‘s figure speedily disappear from the mansion.
The person who had suffered the most over the past four years was Daddy.
The four of them could hug each other, cry, and seek comfort from one another.
But Daddy never once showed his vulnerable side in front of them.
He was like a big mountain that gave them the strongest of supports, and he also made them believe
that Mommy would come back one day.
In Cloud City, when the sun slowly rose after dawn, a new day came.
A lot of officials and rich people in Cloud City were invited to Mdm. Willis‘ eightieth birthday celebration,
and the birthday celebration was being held in the biggest five–star hotel in Cloud City.
Adeena came to the banquet hall with Jada very early. Mdm. Willis sat in the lounge of the banquet hall
while talking to the members of the Willis family.
“Mom, I‘ve brought Adeena over.” Jada smiled and greeted everyone.
Mdm. Willis smiled at Jada. When she looked at Adeena, her gaze was filled with indifference.” Why
are you also here?”
Adeena remained calm. She handed the teapot over. “Grandma, I heard that you‘ve wanted to buy a
teapot recently. I asked someone to bring this back from Esil. It‘s a top–quality Esilian teapot, and it‘s
the best to brew a cup of Esilian tea.”
Mrs. Willis indifferently smiled and said, “Adeena, you might not know that the best teapot is produced
in Iufrium. Mdm. Willis‘ previous teapot was an antique passed down from the time of ancient
Cairnstan. Why would she ask around if she did not want to get a good teapot like this?”
What she actually meant was that this Esilian teapot was not good enough for Mdm. Willis‘ status.
Adeena lifted the lid of the teapot, and a discreet fragrance wafted out.
She smiled and said in a relaxed manner, “This is the teapot that was made using top–quality ceramic,
and it‘s been in use for more than a century. A layer of tea rust has accumulated on the wall of the pot,
so you can smell the fragrance of tea leaves when you remove the lid. When she raised her hand and
poured in some hot water, the scent of the tea leaves became stronger.
“The aroma of tea is dense and can last for a long time. I believe Grandma already knows that this
teapot is not the usual teapot that can be found on the market.” Adeena poured a cup of tea and
handed it over.
Mdm. Willis‘ expression changed from scorn to shock.
She loved to drink tea. When an empty teapot could produce such a strong tea aroma, it was sufficient
to prove the value of the teapot. Besides, it was from Esil. It could be something that was used by a
bigwig in ancient times. At her age, she loved to use things that had value in being passed down as
heritage.
“This is good tea.”
When Mdm. Willis tasted the tea, she could tell that the teapot was used to cook top–quality tea leaves
before.
After Mdm. Willis took a sip of the tea, her expression became brighter. “You‘re quite capable, to be
able to find such a teapot.” Adeena indifferently smiled. “I know many friends, so it‘s actually not a big
deal.”
But her indifferent words were like thunder in Jada‘s ears.
Kendry had said last night that even if Adeena did not find her biological parents, she was still able to
achieve great things based on her own ability. Once Adeena‘s ability surpassed what the Willis family
was capable of, the incident four years ago would definitely be found out. Therefore, she must not give
Adeena that chance! Jada looked at Adeena, and she subconsciously chuckled in resignation. She
really used to try to treat this foster daughter well, but Adeena was just her foster daughter. One day,
Adeena would turn against the Willis family.
