She thought she didn’t care anymore, but at this moment, she realized she couldn’t completely remove this man from her world.
After so many years of love, she couldn’t give up in just a few months.
She hugged her knees, resting her head on her knees, her mind filled with images of Alexander and Nora in bed, her heart aching like a knife cutting through it.
She stayed up all night, enduring until the early hours when the great horned owl left.
Aveline looked at the cold bed beside her, laughing at herself bitterly.
The phone on the bedside table rang, and she quickly answered. It was Elizabeth’s voice, asking her
to come over, saying she had made breakfast that Aveline liked, and Adam also wanted to see her.
Aveline hung up the phone coldly, but her legs moved uncontrollably as she got out of bed.
Her mother’s breakfast, she hadn’t eaten it in many years.
In her memory, Elizabeth was very gentle and made delicious food. Although she rarely cooked, every time she did, it would amaze Aveline for a long time.
By the time she realized it, she had already arrived at the Kingsley family’s house.
The butler welcomed her politely, and Elizabeth was as elegant and generous as ever.
It was obvious that Adam treated her well, and most of the time she was smiling during their
meetings.
Unlike the days with Anthony, she was always serious, never smiling.
Love and indifference could be seen on her face. At that time, she was cold to Anthony and herself, only cooking when she was in a good mood.
Aveline had been able to sense the different atmosphere between her parents since she was young, so she tried to be as obedient as possible.

Even though she loved her mother’s cooking and wanted Elizabeth to attend every parent teacher meeting, she never mentioned it.
She thought that as long as she did better in school and behaved better, her parents would be better, and they would accompany her to the amusement park on her birthday.
In the end, what Aveline waited for was still separation.
Elizabeth saw her standing at the door and quickly came over to hold her hand. “Aveline is here, come over, are you hungry? Come and have breakfast,”
Adam, unusually not so serious, also smiled and said, “Yes, try it. Your mother specially prepared it for you. Aveline. I was also surprised by your father’s matter. If you don’t mind in the future, you can consider me as half a father, and the Kingsley family is also your home.”
It was clear that this man was not lying, but Aveline was unmoved.
Some barriers, no matter how much time she spent, she couldn’t cross.
When she was pulled to the dining table warmly, Elizabeth pushed a bowl of noodles in gravy in front of her. “Eat, I remember this was your favorite when you were little.”
Aveline didn’t move. She had always liked spicy food, and her favorite breakfast was hot–oil noodles, not noodles in gravy.
Elizabeth then offered several other dishes, pan–fried buns, dumblings, and a sandwich.
Aveline smiled bitterly and put down her chopsticks. “You don’t have to pretend like a loving mother if you don’t know how to do it.”
“Don’t you like it?” Elizabeth muttered, “I shouldn’t have remembered it wrong.”

Beside her, Adam cleared his throat and said, “These are all things Nora likes to eat.”
One sentence felt like a knife cutting through her heart.
Look, she’s really her birth mother.
She remembered every preference of her stepdaughter, but she couldn’t remember what her own daughter liked to eat.

Even if she remembered just one dish, she would have been a little relieved.
She was about to leave when she turned her head and saw the door to the master bedroom
downstairs was open.
Alexander and Nora walked out of the room one after the other.
