Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Alex’s SUV had reached the outskirts of the Waltons’ estate. Amelia leaned behind the driver’s seat and said nervously, “Dad, destroy the evidence!”
Alex said, “Oh… I almost forgot.” He parked the car in front of the trash can at the side. He was about to ask Mia and Emma to give him the ice cream empty cup when he saw Amelia looking left and right. She asked nervously, “Daddy, what do we do? How do we destroy the evidence?”
Alex: ‘
Helena came back to her senses and saw the nervous Amelia, as if she was preparing to do something big. She laughed. “Give it to me. Destroying the trash means that we have to throw the trash away before we go home. Don’t let Mom find out…” At this point, she was suddenly stunned.
Emma and Amelia handed the trash to Helena, saying, “Please…”
Helena instinctively took it, opened the car door, and threw the trash into the trash can. As soon as she turned around, she saw the sun setting. In the distance was the end of the river, and the bright sunset dyed half the sky red.
Helena was in a daze. She seemed to have seen such a scenery before. What was going on? At this moment, Helena vaguely recalled an image. Her brothers had brought her home and even secretly given her snacks. Because they were afraid of being blamed by their parents when they returned home, they stopped the car halfway and threw the trash away…
Suddenly, the car horn beeped twice. Alex placed a hand on the window and said, “Get in. Why are you in a daze?”
Helena: “Oh… okay…”
As the car approached the Walton family’s manor, Helena did not know what was going on, but her heart was beating faster and faster. Her breathing began to quicken. Something was about to come out of her mind, giving her a headache.
In the Walton family’s manor, Mrs. Walton was sitting in a wheelchair, like an old mother waiting for her daughter to return home. The sunset shone on her white hair, adding a hint of vicissitudes and loneliness. However, when she saw Amelia, Emma, and Alex get out of the car, her weathered face came to life. She said coldly, “You’re not coming home after school. Where did you go to play?”
Helena held onto the car door. She couldn’t breathe, and her fingers were trembling. The moment she saw Mrs. Walton, she felt her heart hurt so much that she couldn’t breathe. Tears fell unconsciously.
Helena was a little fl.u.s.tered and quickly wiped her tears. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart. She did not understand what was going on!
Amelia ran over, hugged Mrs. Walton, and called her Grandma obediently. Then, she snuggled into her arms and wheedled. Mrs. Walton instantly lost her temper. She looked up and saw Helena not far away. She was stunned for a moment before asking, “This is?”
Mrs. Walton frowned at Alex. Could it be Alex’s girlfriend? Mrs. Walton felt a little suffocated and angry. She didn’t think she was a generous person. She was even petty. She could accept Alex as her son-in-law and treat him as one of the Waltons, but only if he didn’t find another woman. If Alex was going to date or remarry, then she hoped Alex would leave the Walton family. Naturally, she wouldn’t allow him to take Amelia away. It wasn’t that she didn’t want Alex to find a partner, but she couldn’t accept him bringing her home! She was so petty and selfish! If this girl was Alex’s girlfriend, she wouldn’t let her set foot in the Walton residence.
Mrs. Walton looked at Helena with a cold and very unfriendly expression.
Amelia sensed Mrs. Walton’s att.i.tude and quickly said, “Grandma, this is the sister Mia just acknowledged. She’s not a bad person!”
Mrs. Walton frowned. “What sister?”
Alex pushed Mrs. Walton’s wheelchair very naturally. As he pushed her into the house, he told her what had happened.
Amelia ran to hold Helena’s hand and said, “Sister, let’s go!” Her voice was soft and cute. The way she called her sister was very sweet. The pain in Helena’s heart slowly disappeared and she let Amelia lead her through the door.
Mrs. Walton’s complaint came from the front. “You even lied to me that you didn’t eat ice cream? What time is it? It’s not good for the stomach if children don’t eat on time… If she wants to eat, you just bring her there? Children are insensible, but you, an adult, are also fooling around… William and the others are almost done eating. Only you…”
In the dining room, George looked up and saw Alex being scolded. He watched coldly and even raised his eyebrows gloatingly. Finally, he was not the only one who was scolded..
