Patricia shook her head as she replied, âNo, we didnât fight.â
She had never brought up her family before, and Zachary only found out that she was the Young Lady
of the Aniston Family when he helped her to register. Although she had this status, she was forced to
live outside alone and give birth without support from her family.
He thought she was rather pitiful, and despite his curiosity, he felt that she must have moved out
because she didnât get along with her family.
They completed the registration with the help of his friend, and the Aniston Family was unaware of it.
âTricia, Iâm always here for you. As long as you need help, you can just look for me.â
As long as she turned around, he would be waiting at the same spot for her forever.
Patricia smiled. âIâm fine, really. I just caught a cold a few days ago and have not fully recovered yet.
Donât worry.â
Only then did he stop asking and drove her back to Snowflake Lane, where he stayed for dinner. By the
time he left, it was almost dark outside, and Patriciaâs whole family saw him off at the door.
Sylvie waved enthusiastically and said, âBye, Mr. Zach!â
Scott and Stellan bid him goodbye as well. âMr. Zach, be careful when youâre driving.â
The fact that everyone in this house was very friendly was why Zachary liked coming to Patriciaâs
house. Moreover, their smiles were very clean and warm, and he thought this place was a pure land
with a beauty that was different from the world!
After the car had driven away, the whole family happily walked back into the house, and Patricia asked
the boys, âBoth of you still have classes in the evening. So, pack your things quickly and head over.â
At the same time, Sylvie had piano lessons, and Patricia wanted to send her there personally so she
could keep an eye on her during class. Yet, her head started to pound at the thought of the 60,000
course fees; she had to find a job tomorrow.
After she had changed to head out, she put the scarf on Sylvie properly. âHoney, take your lesson
seriously today, and donât be naughty again.â
This was a course Sylvie had picked by herself, but after attending a few lessons, she started
becoming mischievous in her classes and did not take her lessons as seriously as she did.
Sylvie nodded. âAlright, I got it.â Then, she fixed her gaze on Patricia. âTricia, did the Mr. Handsome
who took care of you ask you out for dinner or movies recently?â
This was always how it went on TVâthe male lead would ask the female lead out after taking care of
her when she was sick, and they would get married soon after they started dating.
Just hearing Isaacâs name frustrated Patricia, and when she recalled that she owed him 100,000 out of
the blue, she felt really down on her luck. In the future, even if she were dying of illness, she wouldnât
want him to take care of her anymore.
Thatâs a sky-high care fee, she thought. It will be amazing if I have this earning power.
Right at this moment, her phone started to ring, and it was Sylvie who passed her phone to her. âTricia,
hereâs your phone. Maybe Mr. Handsome is asking you out!â
While Patricia wore her scarf, she wondered, Heâs drinking at his father-in-lawâs place now. So why will
he look for me?
Nevertheless, when she took the phone from her daughter, she was so shocked that she almost tossed
it on the floor because it was a call from Isaac.
âPick it up quickly!â Sylvie urged.
As he was the lender in their relationship, that made him the master, and she could only pick up the
call. âHello.â
Her voice was very indifferent, sounding even more aloof than when dealing with strangers.
âPatricia Aniston, be at Estrella Villa in half an hour. Otherwise, the interest will double,â he said and
hung up, leaving Patricia with a frown as she wrinkled her face.
Why is there an interest now? she wondered, wholly regretting her decision to sign the IOU.
When Sylvie heard that a certain womanâs phone had gone silent, she bounced happily. âYeah! Itâs
really Mr. Handsome calling to ask you out! Go and do your makeup quickly and make yourself look
pretty. Iâm going for my lesson now, and Iâll be a good girl.â
Patricia was a little nervous when she watched as Sylvie went downstairs in delight. âSylvie Aniston,
ask Mrs. Zimmers to stay with you for the lesson. Do you hear me?â
âI got it. Remember to throw yourself at Mr. Handsome and give me some siblings!â
