The three of them got into the car.
The Rolls Royce slowly drove away from the mall.
The kitchen staff had not been informed that Max and the others would be returning for dinner, so they were throwing something together at the last minute.
Olisha came out holding a tray, stepping forward to greet them. "Mr. Hawthorne, Evelynn, Anne, you are back. Dinner isn't ready yet. I baked some cookies this afternoon. You can have some to hold you over."
"Just set them down," Max said.
"Okay."
Olisha turned quickly and placed the tray on the coffee table.
Felicia took Anne upstairs to change into a comfortable set of loungewear.
"Mommy."
Felicia straightened Anne's pants. Hearing her daughter's voice, she asked, "What is it?"
"Please do not be mad at Daddy because of Aunt Andrea, okay?" Anne asked. "Daddy doesn't even like her anymore."
Felicia looked at Anne's worried little face and smiled. "I’m not mad."
She had no reason to be angry. It was nothing worth caring about.
Hearing her mother's words, Anne finally felt relieved.
That minor incident did not affect Anne's mood. Daddy had bought Mommy jewelry today, which still made her very happy.
"Mommy, can we give this bracelet to Aunt Olisha?"
Olisha stood to the side. Hearing Anne's words, her heart skipped an excited beat.
Felicia looked at Anne. If Andrea had possessed even half of Olisha's gentle and unassuming nature, perhaps Anne would not have rejected her so fiercely.
"Of course we can."
Leaning back in the armchair and watching television, Max withdrew his gaze from the screen and looked at Felicia.
Felicia picked up the jewelry box and took out one of the necklaces along with it. She stood up, walked over to Olisha, and asked, "Do you like it?"
Looking at the diamond bracelet, Olisha could not hide the joy in her eyes. Although she had a wealthy father, she had not inherited any of his assets. Any jewelry she wore was merely borrowed for the occasion.
"Are you really giving this to me?"
