Dahlia understood his thoughts and gently touched his arm. “We still have Elvira, Lyndon. Elvira is our real child. We didn’t raise Rena, so it’s only natural for her to feel distant.”
Lyndon’s heart softened at the thought of Elvira.
His second biggest wish was for Elvira to find her perfect match after the divorce. If that were to happen, their family could finally be complete.
As the Coleman family vanished into the distance, Rena remained silent.
Eloise, taking the lead, expressed, “We won’t let them in again.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEloise felt a pang of sorrow for Rena. While she had always believed that Rena would fare better with a biological father who genuinely loved her, Eloise was not blind to the Coleman family’s lack of affection towards Rena. They obviously cared more for Elvira.
Rena reassured Eloise, patting her hand gently. “Mom, I’m fine.”
Zack joined them at the dinner table, settling down.
With tenderness in his voice, he served food to Eloise and said, “Mrs. Gordon, don’t be upset. I’ll be by your side from now on. I promise to bring happiness into your life and make you shine every day.”
Eloise erupted in laughter, embracing the joy that surrounded her once again. Rena, filled with worry, decided to stay for one more night.
Zack’s presence had brought immense happiness to Eloise.
Rena, content with the situation, woke up early the next morning, prepared for work, and headed downstairs. There, she found Zack lazily greeting her next to the champagne-colored BMW. “Good morning, Miss Gordon,” he drawled.
Rena cleared her throat and replied, “You can stay with my mom.”
Zack countered, “But Mrs. Gordon asked me to stay with you all day long, Miss Gordon. Whose instructions should I follow?”
Rena hesitated for a moment, torn between the two.
She then got in the car and said softly, “Go to the music studio on Garbon Road.”
Zack made a gesture and stepped on the gas, showcasing his skill as a race car driver.

They parked the car under the office building, and Zack promptly got out, opening the door for Rena.
He complained, “Can you sit next to me in the future? Sitting in the back seat makes you seem old. Only old people sit in the back.”
Rena glanced at Zack and replied, “I’m your boss.”
She entered the elevator, turning back to add, “I won’t need the car this morning. You can go back and accompany my mother, buy groceries, and chat with her.”
Zack leaned against the elevator frame and smirked mischievously. “I see through your plan. You want to monopolize me. You want me to bond with your mom first, and then you can have me all to yourself. Miss Gordon, it would be better if you express your love for me sooner. We could have a better relationship.”
Rena stepped into the elevator, not swayed by his remarks.
