Xenia\u2019s words lightened the heavy atmosphere in the room.<\/p>\n
Seraphina beamed at Cherise and Xenia, saying. I\u2019m so happy slay. It feels like I have two more daughters. Xenia is adorable, just like I was at her age. Our Jason is truly blessed.<\/p>\n
\u201cHubby, I think we can stay in Clusia a bit longer. What do you<\/p>\n
think?\u201d<\/p>\n
Warren, indulgent of his wife, replied, \u201cSure, now that we\u2019ve found Cherise, there\u2019s no need for us to leave at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seraphina laughed, \u201cPerfect. This way, I don\u2019t have to return to that awful place abroad with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the meal, they avoided discussing the past, focusing instead on light topics, which kept the atmosphere lively and filled with laughter.<\/p>\n
Afterward, the four drove Jason\u2019s parents\u2018 home.<\/p>\n
They had their own place in the Betrico and didn\u2019t live with Rayburn, so their trip was relatively private, though a few people spotted them leaving the hotel.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, Lisa, thank you. It\u2019s just a normal get\u2013together, Yulia said into the phone from her room.<\/p>\n
Okay, I thought it was something special. By the way, the Quinton family received an invitation from your grandfather. What kind of party is it? I\u2019d like to prepare my outfit accordingly Lisa inquired.<\/p>\n
Yulia felt a bit embarrassed. She didn\u2019t know what kind of party it was but replied, \u201cIt should be an ordinary gathering. No need for anything fancy.\u201d<\/p>\n
After hanging up, Yulia glanced at the time and decided to go to bed. However, after tossing and turning, she approached her grandmother\u2019s room.<\/p>\n
She softly knocked on the door, asking, \u201cGrandma, are you still awake?\u201d worried her grandmother might already be asleep. Checking the time again, she thought better of it and turned to leave, but the door suddenly opened.<\/p>\n
\u201cYulia, you\u2019re looking for me?\u201d Rita stepped out of the room.<\/p>\n
Yulia turned to see her grandmother, now dressed in a housecoat that made her appear more approachable.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma, I knocked on the door and there was no answer, so I thought you were asleep,\u201d Yulia said.<\/p>\n
Rita smiled, \u201cNo, I was reading and didn\u2019t hear you. What\u2019s the matter? Why are you looking for me so late?\u201d<\/p>\n
Yulia approached her and replied, \u201cMs. Quinton from the Quinton family called me half an hour ago. She mentioned she saw Jason, Morris, Cherise, and others at Mondial Regalia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita said, \u201cOh, Yulia, you\u2019re overreacting Jason and Cherise are just colleagues. Having a meal together isn\u2019t a big deal.\u201d Yulia shook her head. \u201cNo, Grandma, it\u2019s more than that. Warren and Seraphina seem to have returned to Clusia.\u201d<\/p>\n
She pulled out her phone to show Rita a distant photo taken by isa. \u201cAlthough the picture is blurry and it\u2019s been years, Seraphina looks just the same and is instantly recognizable. Xenia from the Taylor family was with them too.<\/p>\n

Chapter 400<\/p>\n
Rita studied the photo, pausing briefly. \u201cIt really is them. Why would they be together, and for what reason?\u201d<\/p>\n
A puzzled look crossed her face but quickly faded.<\/p>\n
Yulia guessed, \u201cGrandma, I thought Warren and Seraphina, like my parents, wouldn\u2019t return to Clusia easily unless something unexpected came up.<\/p>\n
92%<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you think it\u2019s related to the party Grandpa is throwing? I asked my parents. But they didn\u2019t know anything and didn\u2019t seem to care. You know how my dad is, just like Grandpa.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rita smiled and replied, \u201cDon\u2019t overthink. It\u2019s getting late. You should head back. Since it\u2019s your grandfather\u2019s party, we dress appropriately and find out what\u2019s happening then.<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides, isn\u2019t Xenia there too? I\u2019ve heard she and Jason are close. They might even get engaged. Maybe Jason\u2019s parents are back to meet her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yulia wanted to say something, but after hearing Rita\u2019s words, she decided to let it be for now.<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cOkay, Grandma, I\u2019ll go to bed. You should rest too and not read too late.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGood night,\u201d Rita said warmly, turning to go back to her room and closing the door.<\/p>\n
Once the door closed, her expression shifted to coldness, the warmth fading from her eyes.<\/p>\n
She sat quietly on the bedside and picked up a decades\u2013old photo of herself, graceful and charming, smiling beside handsome Rayburn.<\/p>\n
There was a noticeable distance between them, with Rayburn appearing reluctant.<\/p>\n
a<\/p>\n
She touched the photo with a hint of derision and, after a few moments, picked up her phone and dialed a long\u2013unused number.<\/p>\n
