Mary was surprised from the moment she entered the gate of the manor.
She knew that the Hall family was rumored to be rich, but she didn’t expect them to be this rich!
They went past a maze, a garden, a fountain, an elephant statue, hedges, a pool… Before the enormous structure of the house came into view not far away.
The car drove for three minutes until it stopped in the square in front of the house.
Mary saw Diana as soon as she got out of the car.
Although she had not seen her for twelve years, she still recognized her mother at a glance.
She had become noble and elegant, and she seemed to be even more beautiful than when she was in her twenties.
Time did not leave any traces on her body, only the lingering charm that made her more beautiful.
“Mary! My baby! Oh my God…”
Diana, who was dressed in a royal blue dress, had already rushed over impatiently and pulled Mary into her arms!
The scent of roses emanated from her…
It was so familiar.
Mary recalled that when her mother was still young, there were always fresh roses in the house.
From Monday to Sunday, there was a bouquet of roses every day in different colors.
Her mother loved roses and their scent the most.
She thought she had forgotten everything, but at that moment, she seemed to have forgotten nothing.
Her mother made pies, her mother tied her hair, her mother sewed flowers for her dress, and when her mother left… Her face gradually blurred.
Diana held Mary’s face in her hands, and there were many complicated emotions on her face.
There was guilt, Regret, surprise, a thousand unsaid words, and a deep, unconcealable love in her eyes.
“My darling, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry… for so many years, I left you behind, but I missed you so much, I missed you so much! Mary, my darling. Do you hate me? Or did you miss me?”
Diana’s face gradually overlapped with Mary’s memories.
She tried her best to smile. “Long time no see. I missed you very much, mom.”
“Oh my God! My baby…”
The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly.
Diana’s husband came forward. “Although this moment is very touching and I don’t have the heart to disturb you, my dear, did you forget to introduce me?”
Diana immediately wiped her tears when she heard that. She let go of Mary reluctantly and then turned her head to pull her husband forward.
“Baby, this is my husband, Henry Hall. What do you think of him?”
Mary looked at the man in front of her. Although he was a little old, he was still elegant, gentle, tall and handsome. He seemed to be even more charming in person than he was on TV.
Mary was very satisfied. “Very good!”
Henry smiled and took the initiative to greet and hug her. “Hello, little Mary! It’s really nice to meet you. You can call me Henry from now on.”
“Hello, Henry.”
Mary’s attitude was not humble, nor was she particularly excited, nor did she fawn over him.
It was such a natural appearance that Henry Hall liked it even more.
“I’ve always wanted a daughter, and my sons also wanted a sister. Everyone has finally gotten what they wanted.”
Diana leaned into Henry’s arms and smiled beautifully. The dozens of servants and bodyguards behind her who had been waiting for a long time said in unison, “Congratulations, Sir and Madam! Welcome back, Miss!”
The corners of Mary’s mouth twitched. She felt that this scene was a little awkward.
Jayce saw her reaction from the side and smiled slightly.
“Mary, in order to welcome you, mother has prepared a dinner party. However, it’s still early. Let’s go in and have lunch first, shall we?”
Mary was pulled into the house by Diana. Jayce followed Henry behind.
“Dad, this precious stepdaughter of yours seems to be very interesting.”
Henry glared at him. “She’s still a little girl who has yet to experience the world. Don’t try anything funny!”
Jayce widened his eyes innocently. “Father! Am I that kind of monster? You should worry about your other sons first. Some of them seem to have not accepted this matter yet.”
Henry snorted. He had plenty of ways to make these guys accept this!
