“Yes, my Elisa has her pride. It’s not like no one else wants to marry my daughter.”
Audrey still knew her daughter best.
If Elisa said she would give up, then she would stay true to her words.
The sound of a car was heard coming from outside.
Alice stood up and while walking out of the house, she said, “That must be Elisa.”
There was her sister-in-law in sight.
Elisa got out of the car and walked toward her sister-in-law, showing a bright smile. “Alice, Mom is still at home, right?”
Alice’s heart ached when she saw her sister-in-law smiling so radiantly. She would rather Elisa cry her heart out than smile like that. Heavens knew it only meant that the brighter Elisa smiled, the deeper the pain in her heart.
She sighed.
It was painful enough to fall in love with a man she should not fall in love with, and it was even more painful to know that the man had just gotten married.
“Mom is still at home. Elisa, are you okay?”
“Do I look like I’m not okay? Don’t worry, Alice. I’m great. I just bade farewell to the past.”
Elisa spoke nonchalantly, but she did not want to talk too much about Zachary. She affectionately hooked her sister-in-law’s arm and said, “Come on, let’s get inside.”
Once Elisa came back, Audrey could no longer sit still.
Thus, the family accompanied her to the DNA testing center.
Compared to Audrey’s nervousness, Serenity was calm back in her store.
She sat at the cashier’s desk weaving crafts. She glanced twice at Grandma May and Mrs. Lane, who were playing with Sonny, before saying to Jasmine, “My husband went out on a business trip. Tell me if there are any events I can attend in the next few days.”
Her life had been pretty distressing recently.
