Queenie’s hand froze in mid–air. 

The little girl tugged at Cecilia’s hand. “Ma’am, can you take me home? I’m scared; I want to find my grandpa.” 

Right now, she only trusted Cecilia. 

Unable to resist a child’s plea, Cecilia ‘agreed, “All right 

After responding, Cecilia took the little girl’s hand and said to Queenie, “Mdm. Queenie, if you truly wish to adopt a child, you should consider the child’s own opinion.” 

Queenie slowly withdrew her hand that was hanging in mid–air. 

“Let’s go. I’ll accompany you to take her home.” 

The young girl led the way, navigatin

through a series of narrow alleys until they arrived at an ordinary 

This place could be considered downtown, so given that, one would assume the girl’s family background wasn’t too shabby. 

Before they could reach the little girl’s home, she had wriggled free from Cecilia’s grasp and ran toward an elderly man with streaks of white in his hair. 

“Grandpa!” 

“Anna!” 

“Grandpa, I don’t want to be someone else’s daughter. I want to stay with you forever. Please, don’t leave me behind, okay?” The little girl’s eyes were streaming with tears. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. I can earn money now. I made a thousand today.” 

The elderly man embraced the little girl tightly, then turned his gaze toward Queenie and her group. 

“Mdm. Queenie, I’m sorry, but I’ve changed my mind about giving Anna up to you for adoption.” 

The elderly man released Anna and pulled out a bank card from his pocket. “Here’s your money back.” 

After he had agreed to let Queenie adopt Anna earlier, he had returned home. Looking at the empty house, he instantly regretted it. 

His wife, his son, and daughter–in–law were no longer with him. In this world, all he had left was Anna. 

Similarly, all that was left for her was him! 

Initially, he had been thinking that he wouldn’t be able to care for Anna for long, so he wanted to find her a better family. 

Now, he was resolved to care for Anna, regardless of the difficulties. If it really came to it, he’d buy an insurance policy. That way, if something happened to him, Anna would have a safety net.

“All right, I hope you won’t regret this.” 

After she finished speaking, she decisively turned around and left.

How could the old man harbor any regrets? After all, it wasn’t Queenie’s money he had been after all along. 

Cecilia also left with her. 

Right before Cecillia could leave, the little girl said, “Thank you, ma’am.” 

After giving her a few glances, Cecilia remained silent, offering no response. 

Stepping out of the alley, Cecilia saw that Queenie hadn’t ventured far and was waiting for her. 

“Ms. Smith, I hope you won’t tell anyone about what happened today.” 

Queenie had always cherished Cassandra deeply. Otherwise, with her financial capacity, adopting hundreds of children, let alone one, wouldn’t have been an issue at all. 

In order not to divide her motherly love and attention, she had always refrained from adopting any other children, all to ensure Cassandra was not deprived. 

This time, it was only because she found out that Cassandra’s biological mother was Paula and realized Cassandra truly was a cold–hearted woman that she considered adopting another daughter. 

If Cassandra were to find out she was adopting another child, even if the adoption hadn’t gone through, Cassandra wouldn’t let Anna off the hook. 

“Don’t worry, I won’t.”

Cecilia had no interest whatsoever in why Queenie wanted to adopt. 

As Cecilia was about to leave, Queenie added, “Since you’ve chosen to stay in Tudela, be a good wife to Nathaniel. Don’t hurt Cassandra anymore, or I won’t let you off.” 

Cecilia didn’t respond to her, merely striding away quickly. 

At first, Cecilia was worried that as Anna grew older, she might regret not going with Queenie. But now, she felt it was perhaps better that Anna hadn’t been adopted by this woman. 

After all, Queenie had raised Cassandra into a heartless and cold woman. In stark contrast, even a young child like Anna understood the importance of familial bonds.
