Chapter427
Bethany picked out several books and gave them to Shyla, “It’s
your first time meeting Auntie today, and I didn’t get a chance.
to prepare any other gifts for you. Why don’t you take a look at
these illustrations first, okay?”
The cover illustration was also designed by Bethany, very kid-
like. Snow White was at the top. Shyla loved listening to Snow
White stories. She looked up and said, “Auntie Beth, thank you, I
really like it. Did you make this yourself?”
“Yeah, there were a lot more, but those were the kind boys liked
to watch. If Shyla liked them, Auntie would make more for
you.”
“Okay.”
Shyla was really happy to get the gift, and went to tell Kyson
the good news.
Bethany put the apple Shyla gave her in her bedroom and went
out with them.
Probably because Shyla was an orphan too, Bethany sat with
her in the back seat and told her the stories from the
illustrations.
Kyson glanced at the warm scene in the back through the
rearview mirror and smiled a little.
At this time, Terrence was already at the school gate.
Krista just came over too, “Terrence, you got a hurt on your leg,
why aren’t you resting at home?”
“Come pick up Emery. He was just a kid and didn’t know any
better. He bothered you every other day. Don’t always spoil
him.”
“It’s fine, he’s not an outsider. Today was Christmas Eve, he
wanted me to take him out to have fun. Didn’t he tell you? He
even made you come over too.”
Emery lived at the McConnell’s manor. After school, the
McConnell’s manor definitely sent someone to pick him up.
Terrence frowned a bit, and no one came from the McConnell’s
manor. It must have been Emery who didn’t let them send.
someone to pick him up.
The McConnell family at the McConnell’s manor didn’t really accept Krista, so there’s no way they would’ve agreed to let Krista pick him up.

Did the little brat lie and trick people?
At this time, Emery got out of school.
He was still inside the gate when he saw Krista and Terrence.
Emery waved happily at Terrence, so Terrence stopped talking
to Krista.
“Dad, Krista.”
Emery ran toward them.

When Payton’s mom and the nurse auntie walked by them,
they both smiled and said, “Emery, your mom and dad came to
pick you up after school.”
“Yes.”
Emery answered very happily.
So that’s how it was.
What Bethany said was all true.
Emery called Krista mom outside.
Earlier, Krista suddenly wanted to leave because of pressure
from the McConnell family. Emery didn’t let her go and brought

up the quilting contest, saying it was a parent–child event and
everyone thought Krista was his mom. If they went to the
quilting contest, people would know his mom was a mute, and he would feel proud.
Terrence didn’t stop it back then because there was nothing
romantic between him and Krista. He hated that his family
thought that way, so he took the chance to let Krista stay.
On the other hand, it was because Bethany was mute, and as his
son grew up, wanting to save face was pretty normal. He didn’t
expect things would get worse and worse like this.
“You got it wrong, she’s not my wife.”
He couldn’t let this thing keep blowing up.
Bethany couldn’t understand and really minded.
Krista was a little shaky, and before, Terrence hadn’t cleared
things up like this.
Emery was even more stunned as he looked at Terrence.
