Chapter 3861: Chapter 3862

Still shaking her head, Olivia embraced her father, resting her face against his shoulder.

Mark gently patted her back and said, “If it’s me, I’m prepared to apologize to him on your behalf.

Don’t cry anymore.

It would upset your mother to see you like this.

”

Olivia’s tears flowed even more freely.

In his youth, her father had remained single for his career and had later spent years making his relationship with her mother work.

He had handled everything correctly that year regarding Raphael’s father.

He shouldn’t be blamed at all.

Olivia felt she couldn’t make her father apologize to Raphael for what happened to his father, especially when her father had done nothing wrong.

Moreover, so much time had passed.

Things were no longer as they once were between her and Raphael.

She shook her head against Mark’s shoulder, and then hugged him gently, feeling like his little girl again.

Mark, deeply concerned about her well-being, called a driver to ensure her safety on the drive.

Two days later, Edwin brought Laura home.

The family reunited.

After dinner, Cecilia took Laura to review the household expense account book.

While none of the women in the family were keen on such tasks, Cecilia felt it was important for Laura to Learn.

Afterward, Cecilia had a servant bring them some tea and gently said to Laura, “Try this; it’s my new blend.

”

Laura sensed Cecilia had more on her mind.

True enough, while enjoying the tea, Cecilia showed Laura several photographs of potential suitors and explained their backgrounds.

Finally, she asked, “Laura, which one do you think is the most suitable for Olivia?”

Laura was simple and typically refrained from making major decisions, but she cared deeply for Olivia, the family’s darling.

In private, Laura’s husband, Edwin, would also discuss Olivia’s matters with her, so Laura was informed about Raphael.

Upon Cecilia’s request, Laura glanced at the photos as a gesture of respect.

Eventually, she whispered, “None of them hold a candle to Mr.

Jones in looks.

”

Cecilia was momentarily at a loss for words.

Cecilia gazed at her daughter-in-law for a long while before sighing deeply.

“Yes, that man is certainly handsome, or Olivia wouldn’t have been so taken with him in the first place.

However, they are not meant to be together.

I don’t want my baby girl to marry into a family like that.

”

Cecilia treated Laura like her own daughter and shared her concerns openly.

“Edwin has just talked to us about it.

I remember the past too.

Raphael’s mother was deserving of some sympathy back then, but she is clearly not the most accommodating person.

I think Olivia’s breakup with Raphael was influenced partly by his mother’s interference.

”

Laura nodded in agreement.

“That’s what Edwin believes too.

”

After saying this, Laura looked up at Cecilia thoughtfully.
