Chapter 1668
"No, I'm just overjoyed seeing Candy so adorable." In order to not dampen her family's mood, Karen tried to suppress the pain in her heart.
Karen Joy was not wrong. The bad things had already passed. Dwelling on them would only trouble herself and her family. Wouldn't it be better for her to forget them and just enjoy her time with her family? Nothing brought her more joy than being with her family.
After Silvia and her child were discharged from the hospital, the entire family was finally gathered in Madison City's West Side Villa.
The usually cold and lifeless house was then packed with family. Not only were the Kyles present, but all of Mrs. Turner and Silvia's friends had also come.
Lemur and Reagan had already become fathers but they still were at Silvia's beck and call. Ever since coming to West Side Villa, they followed Silvia closely and called her 'boss' as if it'd be a crime if others didn't know that Silvia was their boss.
"Silvia, you can't catch a cold right now. Go back to your room after you've gotten some sun." Mrs. Turner, who was busy, even ran upstairs to see her daughter. "Reagan, Lemur, keep an eye on her for me." Reagan and Lemur answered, "Mrs. Turner, just go do your work. We'll look after Silvia and the child."
"Alright." Mrs. Turner then went back to work.
"Lemur, why didn't you bring your wife and children?" Not seeing Lemur's family, Silvia looked around but couldn't find them, so she just asked Lemur directly.
"My mother-in-law is ill, so my wife took the children back to help take care of her. She really couldn't make it today." Lemur was originally at his father-in-law's house too but he deliberately took some time to see Silvia and her child.
Silvia asked worriedly, "Is she feeling any better?"
Lemur answered, "Yes, much better."
Silvia said again, "Lemur, you're also at fault. You should help Sharon take care of her family when you're free and not tire her out. It's a blessing to have married such a wonderful girl. Don't let her down." "Silvia, Sharon is my wife and I'll definitely take good care of her. Don't worry so much." Lemur was a man who loved his wife but he just wasn't good at sweet-talking.
"You're a father already, but you still don't know how to stick up to your wife. How could I not worry?" But then again, there were some things that Silvia had to get over even if it was hard to do so. They grew up together; they were almost like siblings. However, their partners might think otherwise. Whenever she got too close to Lemur and the others, Jayden would get jealous, let alone Sharon. Silvia turned her head and looked at Reagan. "Reagan, don't tell me your wife also brought the children back to her mother's home."
Reagan scratched his head. "As you know, I was pursuing Audrey back then but then she got involved with that screwed-up Nordan. My wife doesn't know all of this. Today, Audrey happened to come. I specifically didn't let Tracy and the children come to prevent any awkwardness."
"I say, Reagan, you're really such a gentleman now. It's a blessing for you to have married such a good wife like Tracy. Don't be so unappreciative." Hearing this, Silvia immediately glared at him, making Reagan scratch his head and giggle.
Silvia then added, "Back then, Audrey refused you so directly and had never given you any other ideas. Also, Audrey and Nordan really are a match made in heaven. Don't say that he's screwed-up. Luckily, it's just us here. If Nordan were to overhear that, he'd skin you."
"Silvia, I know that you adore me but you don't have to talk about me constantly." Audrey's voice, which was as gentle as ever, suddenly sounded. Silvia heard the voice and looked back to see Audrey who was still so charming.
After all these years, Audrey was still the same. Every step she took had her own unique air. Her elegance, mixed with charm, was enough to make one's heart thump.
Silvia smiled and said, "Audrey, I thought you wouldn't come."
"How can I not come during such a happy occasion? As for you, you just got discharged from the hospital, so why are you sitting outside like this? Don't you or your husband care?" Audrey took Silvia into the house. "And you two, Lemur, Reagan. Didn't you two help take care of your wives when they gave birth? Don't you know that women can't be outdoors for too long and should have a good rest indoors instead?"
"Audrey, the sun is shining so bright, I'll stay outside to bask in it. I'll only be here for a while, so I definitely won't get cold." If Silvia wasn't outside this moment, Jayden would definitely not let her step outdoors ever again. "Audrey, as long as Jayden is here, you can be at ease."
Audrey said, "I know I can rest assured with him taking care of you, but he's still a man. There's a difference between men and women, and I'm still worried that he'll overlook some things and you'll get sick. That would be unfortunate."
Silvia chuckled. "Ah, he's the most uneasy one around me. He always tells me to not do this, to not do that. I'm not even allowed to change my baby's diapers."
Audrey poked Silvia. "No matter what you say, just go back to your room and rest first."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Silvia was accompanied back to her room by Audrey, Lemur, and Reagan. When she returned to her room, only did she remember something. "By the way, Audrey, hasn't Nordan come?"
"He doesn't like your husband, so he didn't want to come," said Audrey.
Reagan murmured, "I don't like him either, it's good that he didn't come too."
Silvia stayed quiet.
Audrey also grew silent.
Lemur teased, "If he came, you would have been scared out of your wits."
That was true. After Nordan knew that Reagan had intentions to pursue Audrey, he had never treated Reagan nicely again. He often used a fierce and murderous glare to look at Reagan, and it made Reagan hold his breath all the time.
Reagan said, "Lemur, no one will think you're mute if you don't speak."
"Okay, okay, I'll stop."
Both Silvia and Audrey were amused by their antics.
"Weren't Nordan and Jayden classmates and good friends? Why do they both dislike each other?" This question had been buried in Silvia's heart for many years but she still could not understand the reason why.
In the past, she had also asked Audrey about it, but she had no idea either.
This time, Silvia just asked her casually. She didn't expect Audrey to actually give her an answer. "You asked me before and I didn't know. Now that you've asked me, I can finally give you an answer." Silvia grabbed Audrey and pleaded excitedly, "Audrey, tell me what's the reason."
"It's said that two formidable forces can't be together at the same time." Audrey smiled. "Both of them are equally powerful. One is Madison City's business world legend, and the other is a well-known underground figure. Do you think they can meet often?"
