Immediately Stella stepped outside Magnificent Events Center, she scanned the entire area but neither her brother nor her sister was in sight.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Evans soon joined her outside, standing behind his wife. “They left already,” he sensed. “Go fetch the kids; I’ll get the car ready.”

Frowning and biting her lip, Stella rushed back into the party hall, gathered their belongings, and swiftly led the children outside.

They’d have to apologize to Old Master Mandez later, for leaving unannounced. The birthday party was already coming to an end, anyways…

As soon as they settled into the car, Evans sped away.

The ride home was silent. Neither the brother nor his sister spoke a word to each other as they were both engrossed in their thoughts.

Damien was visibly seething with anger, while Yvonne remained silent, staring out of the window. The night was cold and the weather seemed unfriendly.

But as soon as they arrived at the Davis Family’s residence, all the anger Damien had pent up in him bursted.

“Why the hell did you come back?! What are you doing here?! With whose permission did you make this decision?!” He thundered angrily as soon as they entered the main mansion. “Why didn’t you inform me before coming?!”

Upon hearing his harsh words, Yvonne screamed angrily in response, “If I had informed you, would you have let me come back?!”

Damien was taken aback by the lady’s sudden outburst. His brows furrowed, “What?”

“Did I lie?” Yvonne’s words held a painful truth.

Damien remained silent, his emotions raging within.

“Are you even my brother? You never called me throughout the time I was away, not even once! You’re just seeing me for the first time in so many years, and you’re speaking to me in this manner?! Did you even miss me at all?!” Yvonne’s voice broke as she yelled, tears escaping her eyes.

“What if I had died over there? What did I do to deserve such brutal punishment?” She wept.

Damien remained silent as he gazed at her, his hands balling up into fists at his sides.

After a while, “Get ready to leave on the first flight, first thing tomorrow morning.” He blurted, his voice lower.

Immediately he finished saying those words, he made to leave the lounge area.

Yvonne couldn’t believe her ears. “What?”

Her eyes wavered and she gazed at him speechlessly.

“What did you just say?” She muttered.

“You’re leaving on the earliest flight tomorrow morning.” He rephrased his words, pausing in his tracks.

Yvonne was silent for a few seconds before she erupted into a bitter laughter, her eyes glistening with tears.

‘What’s funny?’ Damien’s brow arched up in bewilderment.

After calming down a bit, “Is it that you do not have any iota of care for me at all?” She inquired.

The man pressed his lips together, his face devoid of any emotion as he looked away from his sister.

Yvonne’s voice became cold as she spoke,”Since this is how you want it, then, no problem.”

The next second, she blurted out coldly, “Just so you know, I’m not going any. where. If you want to travel, go yourself and never come back. Never again would I let you force me to do anything against my will.”

“If you really want to have me completely vanished from your sight, then get Father and Mother’s approvals. Until then, I will stay.”

Having said her piece, Ynonne walked past Damien and headed straight to her room. As soon as she entered, she slammed the door behind her and collapsed on her bed in tears.

Why wouldn’t he let her do what she wanted? Why was he treating her in this manner? She cried bitterly.

Right at that moment, Stella rushed into the house and met Damien standing all alone, seeming dazed. Her gaze darted around quickly in confusion.

“Where is she?” She asked hurriedly.

Damien simply turned to look at her for a couple of seconds and then walked away, leaving her bewildered.

Stella hastened away to Yvonne’s room and met her crying. Her heart broke and she slowly went over to her side and pulled her into her embrace.

After the party ended, Shawn helped his grandfather home.

“Why didn’t she come?” Old Master Mandez inquired in a low voice as he rested in the backseat.

“She’s not feeling well.”

Liar. Someone he saw in the morning… Yet, Grandpa Mandez closed his eyes and remained silent.

Upon their arrival at Magnificent, the old man was exhausted and went to bed immediately.

After tucking him in, Shawn silently stepped out of the room. His mind wandered off to Little One at home and he couldn’t help but feel some warmth in his heart. At last, he could go see her.

However, just as he stepped into his grandfather’s living room, he met his aunt seated there. She seemed to be waiting for him. Upon noticing his presence, the middle-aged woman looked up and gestured for him to sit.

“Is he asleep?” She asked calmly.

“Mmn.” Shawn replied.

She nodded.

After a while of silence, she spoke, her voice low, “I heard about what happened. Anderson told me.”

Shawn looked up at Anderson who was currently standing behind his aunt. The man simply shrugged his shoulders at him helplessly. Shawn pressed his lips to form a thin line and then looked away.

“Even if he didn’t inform me, it’s so obvious…” Amanda stated. “Don’t worry; we won’t be going back to the States. Losing my sister, your mother, was hell. We should ensure we don’t lose Father too. I know how much we’ve suffered-how much you’ve suffered.” Her voice broke.

Shawn balled up his fists and his jaw thickened as he listened to his aunt. A glint of agony flashed in his eyes but it disappeared just as quickly as it had come. A couple of seconds later, he released his clenched hands and his facial expression also returned to normal.

“Thank you, Auntie.”

Without further ado, Shawn Mandez stood up.

“Anderson will assist with getting you settled in.” After saying these words, he bobbed and then left Grandpa Mandez’s mansion silently.

Heading home, Shawn couldn’t shake the thoughts of his conversation with his aunt, his mind drifting to memories of his mother. He missed her deeply. How he wished, that day, she hadn’t…

Blinking away the haunting thoughts, he refocused his attention.

Before he knew it, he had arrived home. A faint smile crept onto his lips as he pushed open the front door.
