Chapter 300
Sophie looked sad.
Jacob, standing right beside her, sounded a bit cold when he said,
âLet's go to your parents.â
So, she followed him.
When Olivia and Ana walked into the lounge, a man appeared. As soon
as he entered, everything went quiet, especially around Ana.
Seeing Claude, Olivia quickly sank into the couch, trying to hide.
He smiled a little and said to Ana, âAunt Ana, I'm sorry I couldn't
welcome you myself.â
Olivia didn't dare look at Ana. She stayed quiet, trying to be respectful,
like a very polite daughterâinâlaw.
Ana asked him, not sounding too friendly, âI heard you went to her
grave a few days ago?
Claude looked gloomy when that was mentioned. âYeah, I did. I saw the
maids your family sent there.â
After he said that, Ana, Katrina, and Jordan didnât say much.
Then, Katrina said thoughtfully, âWe'll forever be a family, Ana.â
Claude didn't say anything to that. He just looked down, looking
humble.
Ana laughed a bit. âOf course. Claude will always be my son-in-law.â
She then picked up her tea and took a sip, very slowly.
âWe treat Morgan like our own,â Jordan added.
To Olivia, it felt like she was in the middle of a very awkward family
reunion. It was like there was this fog around everyone, and no one
wanted to clear it up.
The lounge was exceptionally quiet.
Suddenly, Claude said to Olivia, âThere's some entertainment outside if
you're getting
bored.â
Everyone turned to look at them, surprised he said something out of
the blue.

Olivia was startled. It was unexpected for him to talk to her, and she felt
very anxious.
âClaude? Are you talking to Olivia?â Katrina asked.
Claude just chuckled, seeing everyone looking puzzled. âWell, sheâs
our guest. I donât. want her to be bored.
Hearing this, Katrina and Jordan seemed to relax.
Ana found it strange but didnât think too much about it. She said to
Olivia, âIf you're bored, you should go have a look around.â
âShow her around, Claude,â suggested Katrina.
âSure,â Claude agreed.
Olivia glanced at Ana, her hands shaking a bit.
Ana encouraged her, âGo on.â
After hesitating for a bit, Olivia got up. Claude, who was already at the
door, told her, You might not know your way around. Let me show
you.â
Trying to stay calm and polite, Olivia said, âThank you.â
Then, she left the lounge with Claude leading the way. Ana watched
Olivia for a moment before they disappeared.
