Evelyn Ross felt like a spinning top.

Chloe Davis clung to her calf.

"Mommy, read me a story."

Chloe Roland lounged on the sofa.

"My savior, I feel dizzy."

Alexander Vance sat in a single armchair.

He said nothing.

His deep eyes simply watched her.

They held three parts grievance and seven parts restraint.

Evelyn steeled herself and asked, "What's wrong?"

Alexander lowered his gaze.

"I saw her at the wedding yesterday."

This 'her' needed no explanation.

Yvonne Sherwood would definitely attend Mina's wedding.

Evelyn's heart clenched.

"Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

"It's fine."

Alexander's voice was low.

"Go spend time with them. I'll step out for a cigarette."

He stood up.

His back looked somewhat lonely.

Evelyn's heart instantly softened.

Chloe and Chloe were still calling for her.

She was torn between them.

The doorbell suddenly rang.

Evelyn felt reprieved.

"I'll get it!"

She almost ran to the door.

She opened it.

Mina Sherwood stood outside.

It was the second day of her marriage.

Yet her face showed no joy.

Only deep exhaustion.

"Grace, can I stay with you for a while?"

Evelyn immediately stepped aside to let her in.

Now it was four people needing her.

She wished she could learn to clone herself.

One for each person.

But reality was harsh.

She decisively chose Mina.

Chloe and Chloe were just being acting cute.

Alexander could be comforted later.

Mina's situation was clearly not right.

"What happened?"

Mina gave a bitter smile.

"Marcus Valentine and I agreed."

"We'll divorce after the baby is born."

Evelyn was stunned.

"Why?"

Mina didn't answer.

Evelyn remembered Alexander's words.

He drank with Marcus last night.

She understood immediately.

"He wasn't home on your wedding night?"

"He still doesn't believe the child is his?"

Mina nodded.

Evelyn stood up abruptly.

"Get a divorce now!"

"You shouldn't tolerate this!"

Mina grabbed her hand.

"Just ten more months."

"Let my parents enjoy some glory."

"It repays their kindness of upbringing."

"And the baby needs household registration."

Evelyn frowned.

"But Marcus, he…"

"He wouldn't dare to harm me."

Mina's tone was calm.

"His parents treat me very well too."

Evelyn wanted to persuade her more.

Mina cut her off.

"I've made my decision."

Evelyn was silent for a moment.

"Alright. I respect your choice."

As a friend.

She could only support the other's decision.

But she knew clearly.

She only had ten months.

She must complete the mysterious person's task within ten months.

Otherwise, she couldn't rescue her mother.

How could she cooperate with the families?

As she pondered.

Mina suddenly hugged her.

"I'm fine."

"I just remembered our childhood."

"We said we would become sisters-in-law."

"Yet I married right after your divorce."

Evelyn patted her back.

"Then move in with me!"

Mina's eyes lit up.

"Okay."

She truly had nowhere to go.

Returning to the Sherwood family would mean being persuaded to go back.

Staying at the Valentine house…

Mina remembered this morning's events.

She couldn't help complaining.

"Penelope Valentine is so spoiled."

"Just because she dislikes scallions."

"The whole family's breakfast had no scallions."

"The Valentines spoil her rotten."

"Three branches with seven sons and no daughter."

"What if they really had a daughter?"

Evelyn raised an eyebrow.

She hesitated about revealing her origins.

The doorbell rang again.

The nanny hurried to answer.

She soon returned to report.

"Madam, someone from the Valentine family is here."
