“I was too busy,” Gilda smiled and said.
Helen and Gilda’s mother were really close. Since Gilda’s parents passed away, Helen and Larry had been taking care of Gilda and her siblings. It was not until Gilda became a major that Helen felt relieved and started to travel around the world.
Helen played the role of mother throughout Gilda’s childhood, and Gilda had regarded her as her real family long ago.
Gilda looked around and gave Helen a sly smile. “Aunt Helen, where’s Uncle Larry?”
“Who knows?” Helen pretended to be angry. “Don’t mention him.”
“Alright.” Gilda pursed her lips and suppressed her laughter.
Helen and Larry were quarrelsome lovers. They would quarrel when they were together, but care about each other when they broke up. When they were young, they divorced each other when they got angry once. Larry regretted it at once and then started to pursue his wife.
Larry even directly handed the business of Badford Group over to Jackson who was still minor and chased after his wife all around the world.
“Gilda, I’ve heard about your divorce from Patrick.
“You’re not a kid anymore. How can you still treat your marriage so casually?” Helen scratched Gilda’s nose. and looked at her face affectionately. “What did I tell you before? You must let them pay for it after being bullied. You are my sweetheart. The whole Badford Group and Lynch Corporation will back you up.”
“I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to be worried about me.” Gilda held Helen’s arm tighter and said aggrievedly, “I was wrong.”
Gilda would show her weakness, but she would only show it to the most important family.
Hearing Gilda admit her mistake obediently, Helen suddenly sighed. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“Aunt Helen, what’s wrong?”
Helen caressed Gilda’s head and said, “We were late a little bit. Otherwise, with the relationship between your mother and me, you should have been my daughter–in–law. You wouldn’t have suffered so much.
“It’s my fault. I only focused on traveling these years and neglected you. It’ll be better if your parents are still alive.”
“The past is in the past!” Gilda felt a little sad and her eyes were slightly moist. She leaned against Helen and said intimately, “Aunt Helen, it’s already good enough to have you and Uncle Larry. You are as close as
my parents to me.”

“Gilly, since you’re single now, what about Jackson?

Jackson is tall, handsome, and mature. I must let you meet him once this time. If you two get along well with each other, I will hold a wedding for you right away.”
Helen became more and more excited. “Gilly, what do you think? Answer me.”
There was no response.
Hearing Gilda’s breathing, Helen was stunned for a second. Then she held Gilda’s hand and smiled.
“Have a good dream. You’re tired today…”
Gilda slept soundly that night..
The next morning, Gilda got up early and went to a photography exhibition with Helen.
Helen was not only the mother of Jackson who was the CEO of Badford Group but also one of the top three travel bloggers on Instagram, Sunny.
The photos Helen took were regarded as non–replicable classics by the contemporary art world, and this exhibition was about her travel experience in recent years.
Those who pursued art and those who wanted to flatter Badford Group all tried their best to get the tickets. After only one day of sale, even half a year of tickets had already been sold out.
“Aunt Helen, did you really meet the chief of the primitive tribe in the rainforest?”
“Of course. Look, this is the photo of that chief. Helen stopped in front of a photo with Gilda.
Gilda looked down but then caught a glimpse of Jensen and Madeleine in the distance.
Jensen looked tall and straight in the crowd. His eyes were cold and his aura was strong, looking noble to other people.
Madeleine was already showing. She was wearing a Chanel suit. Gilda felt somewhat uncomfortable to see Madeleine carefully protecting her belly.
The smile on Gilda’s face suddenly froze, and then her face darkened.
