Chapter 1383
[ 650 words ]
She had almost slipped up and said something inappropriate.
“That’s wonderful.”
Megan’s eyes reddened with emotion as she kept murmuring, “As long as he treats you right, my heart can finally rest.”
“Megan, what do you mean?”
Noticing that the older woman hadn’t moved to grab her things, Luella’s smile faltered, her brows pulling together.
“If we both leave, your mother will be so lonely here,” Megan said, gently patting Luella’s hand. Her voice was soft but resolute. “I want to stay behind and keep her company.”
Megan had never married and had no family of her own. Luella’s mother was the one who had taken her in. There was no way she would ever abandon her.
“Megan…”
Luella understood exactly what she meant, her lips trembling slightly.
“Don’t worry about me. No one cares about an old woman anyway.” Megan gently wiped away the tear escaping Luella’s eye, a loving, maternal smile on her face. “I’ll be right here waiting for you to bring your man back so we can have a proper reunion.”
Megan was deeply stubborn; once she made a decision, there was no changing her mind. Staying near her mother’s memory was perhaps the best ending for her.
“Alright.”
Luella didn’t push it, forcing a brave smile. “I’ll bring him back to meet you and my mom properly.”
She would also make sure to assign people to protect Megan from the shadows.
“I’ve already packed your things.” Megan wheeled out a suitcase, her expression turning serious. “Stellara Country is a mess right now. The sooner you leave, the better.”
“I will.”
Luella took the suitcase, but before getting into the car, she pulled Megan into one last tight embrace. “Take good care of yourself, Megan. Wait for me to come back.”
“Go on, child.”
Megan waved at her, standing there until the car completely disappeared from view. Only then did she wipe her tears and head back inside, looking around for Jared.
His parents and his sister had all been arrested. The poor boy was completely alone
now.
But after searching the entire house, there was no sign of him.
Where had he run off to?
The Airport.
After a grueling twenty-hour flight, Luella finally landed in Eclara City.
To dodge the paparazzi, she slipped into an airport restroom immediately upon landing to completely change her look.
She emerged wearing a knee-length
dress, her chestnut hair falling in
soft waves over her shoulders, and a large pair of dark sunglasses Concealing her face
With her figure and natural aura, she stood out effortlessly in the crowd If someone said she was a celebrity anyone would believe it.
Confident that she looked entirely different from her previous “male” persona, Luella comfortably walked out of the restroom area.
But after just a few steps, she felt a distinct presence trailing behind her.
She had practically changed her skin; how could anyone still recognize her?
Whoever they were, they shouldn’t be reporters-they should be working as airport drug-sniffing dogs!
Feigning ignorance, Luella kept walking until she found a secluded corner to duck into, planning to ambush whoever was tailing her.
But when she peeked out-
She saw a little boy who barely reached her waist, dragging a small suitcase, looking around anxiously.
Jared?
This little brat had actually taken the exact same flight to Eclara City!
“Who told you to follow me?”
?bet
Luella stepped out, grabbing Jared by the collar and dragging him the corner. She pulled down her
Suomearing at him coldly.
“Bro… Sis…”
Looking at this person who seemed entirely different yet exactly the same, Jared opened his mouth, completely lost on what to call her.
Finally, he squeezed out an awkward title: “Bro-Sis!”
Bro-Sis?
What kind of ridiculous name was that?
“Luella!” Realizing his mistake, Jared immediately corrected himself.
Going from having an older brother to an older sister overnight had left him very confused.
“Stop following me. Go back!”
Luella looked away, grabbing her suitcase and walking off, having zero interest in dealing with him.
“Luella!”
Jared scrambled after her on his little legs, stumbling as he ran and shouting, “Sis!
How am I supposed to survive without you?!”
Luella nearly tripped over her own heels.
This damn kid!
