The sky outside was overcast as if a storm was brewing .
But , as always , after the rain , the sky would clear .
Elaine gazed at the dark clouds outside , a faint smile playing at the corner of her lips .
The Yeats family must feel quite suffocated right now , which reassured her .

This gloomy weather was perfect for staying in and having a seafood feast .
The corridor outside Elaines room led to an endlessly beautiful garden full of elegance and charm .
The Morgan familys villa occupied a vast area .
and as they often said , it truly reflected the nature of capitalists , with the scent of wealth permeating every corner .
It was said that the garden had been specially designed by a master landscaper hired by the Morgan family .
Shirley happened to be at home , and Elaine quickly arranged for everyone to enjoy a feast together .
Upon hearing that Elaine was preparing the seafood feast .
Shirley happily agreed .
They never sat together in Lento City to enjoy a seafood feast .
A feast symbolized closeness , and sharing one meant family intimacy .
Sitting down together for a meal , maintaining the facade of a relationship while keeping a respectful distance , was already considered generous .
But in that house in Lento City , with that person present , there was no room for closeness .
Since arriving in Boynton , she had noticed that the home now had a much livelier atmosphere , and Elaine was responsible for bringing this fresh energy .
Shirley and Kingsley prefer staying in Boynton rather than returning to Lento City .
Even Benjamin didnt rush back to Lento City after attending the engagement banquet .
Instead , he enjoyed playing chess with Elaine , making it a daily routine .
Benjamin was just as stubborn despite never winning against Elaine in chess , he refused to let her go easy on him .
She had never realized that he had such a charting side to him .
His affection for Elaine was evident , and it seemed clear that certain people were about to be disappointed .
Naturally , the people in Lento City were growing anxious about the Morgans staying in Boynton .
Shirley narrowed her eyes , a mischievous smile playing on her lips .
Now that Kingsley had married such an impressive wife , she couldnt wait to see how their presence would irritate the rest of Lento City .
She felt her status was elevated with someone as exceptional as Elaine as her daughter in law .
Grace sat on the bench , a woolen blanket draped over her shoulders .
The scent of the seafood that Elaine was preparing tempted her .
Kingsley stood nearby , assisting Elaine with adding ingredients to the pot , looking in high spirits The servants stood to the side , noticing that Kingsley and Elaine had no intention of asking for their help .
Understanding their place , they quietly waited , ready to assist if needed .
However , they couldnt help but wonder this was the first time theyd seen Kingsley humbling himself to do such menial tasks .
Grace couldnt help but ask , Elaine , what ingredient are you adding ! It looks delicious .
As a former aristocratic lady , Grace had never had the opportunity to enjoy a seafood feast with others such things were not deemed appropriate by her upbringing .
Times had changed , but no one was around to share with her .
To her surprise , the aroma was quite appealing .
Elaine smiled and replied , Grandma , this is corn , sausage , and beef .
Doesnt it smell great ? Just a little more time , and itll be ready to eat .
I promise it will taste wonderful Grace chuckled .
With that scent in the air , Im already craving it Benjamin , standing nearby , added , If you like it , Ill eat it with you from now on .
He felt a twinge of guilt in his heart these post years .
he hadnt spent enough time by Graces side , Thats settled then , old man .
Even if we return to Lento City , youll still have to eat with me , Grace said , her tone hinting at playful reproach .
Benjamin rarely sur similed , but this time , he Have ins with a warm reply , Alright , Ill stay by your side .
Elaine felt a slight tug at her heart as she watched the two elders gaze at each other with such tenderness .
In a world where people often forsake their loved ones for personal gain , and scandals and infidelities were commonplace , their enduring bond stood out .
people would The fact that they had spent a lifetime together staying faithful to each other , hand in hand was a love many ordinary pe undoubtedly envy .
Kingsley noticed the wistful look in her eyes and gently ruffled her hair .
When Klaine met his gaze , she seemed to see a ire a warmth in it a silent promise that , just like the elders , they would grow old together .
Her heart softened , and she smiled back at him , feeling a warmth spread through her .
The food was almost ready , and they began to sit and enjoy the feast together .
As the family happily gathered around the table , a servant suddenly 1/2 24 PM Chapter 168 entered to repo Mrs.
Morgan the Crvant said , looking at Elaine .
A lady is waiting at the door , claiming to be your biological mother .
We told hers werent bome and tried to stop her from coming in , but she was very persistent .
No matter what we said , she wouldnt listen and stood at the door , refusing to leave .
So , we came to report to you to see how youd like to handle this .
The servant was also helpless .
That woman refused to leave and had been disturbing their work .
If they deducted her salary , she would have to compensate for it .
Biological mother ? Elaine then realized it was someone from the Yeats family , most likely Tracy .
She thought , I didnt expect her to come here .
She must be here for something related to the Yeats family .
Elaines eyes darkened as she remained silent .
When the Book Elf , who had been munching on cat treats nearby , heard Tracy had arrived , it immediately stood up and meowed as it hurried to Elaines side .
Elaine looked at it with concern in its eyes and gently petted its head , signaling that it need not worry .
The Book Elf wasnt worried about Elaines disadvantage ; it was concerned about something else .
It wanted to speak with Elaine , but seeing too many people around , it decided to wait for an opportunity to talk to her later .
What biological mother ? How dare she say that , Shirley said , her expression filled with displeasure as she spoke first , How can this woman have the nerve to come here ? Ive lived this long and never seen such a strange mother who loves her adopted daughter more than her owIL Dont try to tell us about the deep bond with the adopted daughter .
Parents who cant treat their children equally dont deserve to be called parents ? Seeing her mother in law defend her so vigorously , Elaine felt a deep sense of gratitude and warmth in her heart ..
Grace added , That little schemer , Bianca , Ive seen her before .
You can tell right away shes full of tricks .
The Yeats family must have been blinded by her , thinking she could make them prosper , but its laughable .
I believe that girl has a hidden agenda , and one day , shell fall .
In terms of relationships , no one could accept seeing their own family showing favoritism toward another person , especially when that person was adopted with no blood ties to the family In the past , Elaine had been stuck in a mire , unable to escape .
But now , she had already emerged from it , Elaine said , Ill meet her first and see what else she has to say Shirley initially wanted to tell her not to go , but when she saw Elaines determined gaze , she refrained from saying anything more .
Instead , she held her hand and said , Dont worry , Elaine .
From now on , Kingsley and I will be here for you .
Alright , Elaine responded .
Kingsley gazed at the young woman before him , so strong yet fragile .
He would protect her fragile side with all his might , while her strength could conquer anything Go ahead , Kingsley suddenly leaned down and kissed her forehead .
Elaine felt the warmth on her forehead , surprised by the kiss .
A smile spread across her face , and her eyes sparkled as she looked at him .
It was the first time Kingsley had kissed her in public , ignoring the gazes around them .
The servants were left in shock , their jaws nearly dropping .
It was clear that Kingsley truly adored Elaine .
After all , everyone knew that Kingsley was typically a man of strict restraint .
Grace and the others couldnt help but chuckle , exchanging knowing glances with those present , thinking that the reserved man had finally come to his senses 233 PM dr
