The scene before me was simply breathtaking. My mother wore a loose white dress, her head adorned. with an off–white lace sunhat. 

As the wind blew, ripples spread across the lawn. 

Her dress swayed, fluttering freely, as if she were dancing with the breeze. 

Not far off, Nicholas was playfully teasing a young lamb, careful not to disturb her, but always keeping a watchful eye. 

If anything were to happen, he’d be there in an instant 

I looked around but couldn’t spot Bill anywhere. 

Zoey’s eyes glistened with tears, and she quickly wiped them away. 

We didn’t disturb my mother while she painted, letting Zoey’s emotions settle gradually. 

“Chloe, thank you. Seeing Mom being so happy. I’m really happy, Zoey said quietly. 

“I’m just doing what I should,” I replied. 

Once the painting was finished, my mother slowly moved, and Nicholas hurried over to help her. 

She was over five months pregnant with twins; her belly was noticeably larger than it would be for a single 

child. 

“Nicholas, I’m fine,” she smiled and turned around, her eyes falling on me. 

She froze for 

moment. 

“Chloe, what are you doing here? You didn’t tell me you were coming!” She exclaimed, hurrying toward 

I ran over to her. “Mom, slow down.” 

She embraced me and said, “You naughty girl.” 

“I went to Zorya with Carter to handle some business. I couldn’t come to Zorya and not see you. Are you doing well here?” 

I linked my arm with hers as we headed back to her house. My mom said with a smile, “You’ve seen for yourself how wonderful it is here. The mountains, the sea… we’re self–sufficient, away from the city and the noise. I really love it here. Who’s this?” 

Her gaze fell on Zoey, and her smile froze. 

Zoey’s eyes were no longer red, but I could clearly see her nervousness, 

“She’s Carter’s friend’s wife. She came with me to the mountains for a little sightseeing. Janice, this is my 

mom.

Zoey hesitantly walked up and, awkwardly twisting the edge of her shirt, greeted, “Oh, hello. I’m Janice.” 

The poor thing, she couldn’t even look my mother in the eye. Her fingers twisted the fabric of her shirt, her demeanor guilty as though she had done something wrong. 

She couldn’t fool me, let alone my mom. 

Of course, I promised not to tell the truth, but I knew my mother would figure it out eventually. 

If Mom could tell I wasn’t her daughter, she wouldn’t miss the fact that her real daughter had returned. 

Philippa stared at the small red mole on Zoey’s forehead and then at her fidgeting hands, taking a moment. before speaking gently, “Is it okay if I call you Janice?” 

“Y–yes, that’s fine, Zoey stammered. 

My 

mom took Zoey’s hand and smiled. This place is beautiful. Would you like me to show you around?” 

“No, it’s okay, Philippa. You’re pregnant. You shouldn’t walk too much. I’ll just look around on my own,” Zoey replied. 

“It’s getting late. Why don’t we have dinner together? What would you like, Janice? I’ll take care of it.” 

Zoey glanced nervously at the flock of sheep. “I’m not picky. Anything is fine.” 

“Great.” 

My mom turned to me with a playful smile, “What a coincidence, two Chloes. 

I knew what she meant, and I had expected her to recognize Zoey, but not this quickly. 

“Mom, we’ll help you,” I offered. 

“Sure. If I had two daughters like you, I’d be so happy,” he smiled, but I knew she wasn’t joking. 

In the distance, Carter and Damian were carrying several things. My mother glanced at Carter’s leg and understood but didn’t ask any questions. 

In this unfamiliar place, it was as safe as could be; there was no reason for him to hide anything anymore. “Chloe, I’ve bought a big farm. It’s full of animals, and its so lively.” 

“That sounds great. By the way, Mom, it’s quite far from the city here. You’re due to give birth in a few months. Will you go to the city to deliver?” 

“No need. Nicholas arranged for a medical team to come check on me every so often. Your father also bought some medical equipment. Even if something goes wrong, they can treat me right away. Look over there.” 

I looked up and saw a large helipad, with two helicopters parked there. 

If there’s an emergency, we can get to the city fast. 

It seemed like he wasn’t just talking about safety; he had truly prepared for anything.

As we continued our walk, we arrived at the house where Mom was staying. It had a large garden, full of vibrant flowers. 

Two ragdoll cats were lazily dozing, and a small yellow puppy, only recently born, chased after butterflies.
