Translator: Henyee Translations       Editor: Henyee Translations

Evelyn’s mother was about to speak when George said coldly, “We have enough people here.” He meant that they should not come.

Evelyn’s mother was a little embarrassed. She looked at another empty space in the distance and smiled gently. “It’s okay. We’ll be fine over there.” Since they were nearby, it was convenient for them to come over.

Evelyn’s father chuckled. “Then I’ll go set up the tent first.”

Evelyn pretended not to notice the adults’ expressions and skipped over. She squatted in front of Amelia and tilted her head to ask innocently, “Mia, what are you playing?” Although Evelyn was not old and was a five or six-year-old girl, she did not look innocent at all when she pretended to act that way.

Amelia did not quite understand what this feeling was, but her intuition told her that Evelyn was very similar to her stepmother, Rebecca. She did not like her stepmother, so she naturally did not like Evelyn. She lowered her head and put away the hammer without a word before closing the toolbox.

Evelyn stole a glance at Lucas by the lake and said in a low voice, “Mia, let’s go over there to play. Let’s go, I’ll take you to play!’

Amelia took a step back and pouted. “1 don’t want to play with you.” With that, she turned around and ran away.

Evelyn’s expression froze, and she felt very aggrieved. She was already so magnanimous and didn’t argue with Amelia about the disciple issue. Why was Amelia still like this?! Evelyn could only look at Emma and reach out to her. “Then let us two play together. There are pine trees over there. There might be little squirrels.” Her impression of Emma was still the scene of Emma and Amelia snatching the dress on the night of the birthday banquet. She thought that Emma still didn’t like Amelia, so she would pull Emma into her camp and isolate Amelia together! Let’s see what Amelia would do then!

However, unexpectedly, Emma also looked at her with disdain. “Who wants to play with you!” With that, Emma ran after Amelia.

Evelyn’s eyes immediately turned red. She rubbed her eyes and walked to the lake aggrievedly. She sat beside Lucas. “Brother Lucas… I don’t know what I did wrong. Sister Mia and Sister Emma won’t play with me.”

Lucas didn’t even look up. “Go away and don’t disturb me.”

Evelyn was speechless. After all, she was a five or six-year-old child. She couldn’t hold it in anymore and shouted, I ‘Did Amelia say bad things about me to Brother Lucas? Evelyn didn’t… didn’t do those things…” As she spoke, tears fell. This was what her mother had taught her. Girls had to know how to show weakness. This way, others would pity and forgive them.

Lucas put down the book and frowned. “If you want to cry, go cry somewhere further away.” His interest in reading was completely ruined. He put away the book and Lucas stood up, and the direction just so happened to be where Amelia was.

Evelyn bit her lip and felt even more aggrieved. Why did they all go to play with Amelia and not her! Helpless, Evelyn could only go back to find her mother first. Just as she walked out of the lawn, Evelyn suddenly realized that there was someone hiding behind the forest. She was so frightened that she almost screamed.

Sarah made a shushing gesture and waved at Evelyn. “Eve, can you come over for a while?”

Evelyn hesitated for a moment, looked around, and slowly walked over. She knew Sarah. On the day of Amelia’s birthday party, her mother had told her that she had to find an opportunity to get to know Auntie Sarah and please her.

Sarah smiled warmly and said, “Eve, Auntie and Grandma Walton have quarreled. Can you help me call Emma over? You have to do it secretly and not tell anyone.”

Evelyn nodded. “Sure!” After saying that, she ran over to look for Emma. Emma was sitting not far from Amelia, holding a branch and ‘fighting with Seven.

Evelyn ran over and whispered into Emma’s ear. Emma looked over in confusion. Sure enough, she saw her mother waving at her from the forest. Emma instantly threw down the branch and ran over.

Sarah looked at Emma, who was running over, and her eyes turned red. She went to the Walton residence again today and wanted to beg Old Madam Walton to let her take a look at Emma. She did not expect the entire Walton family to go camping together. Sarah recalled that before Amelia came, the members of the Walton family were nowhere to be seen. Now, not only was the entire family reunited, but they even came out to play together. If they had been like this in the past, would she and Dylan have become colder and colder until they reached the point of divorce?

“Mommy!” Emma’s voice brought Sarah back to her senses. She hurriedly reached out her hand. “Baby!”

Emma had been following Sarah since she was young, so she happily threw herself into her arms. Sarah’s eyes immediately turned red. Her poor child. She had not seen her mother for two days. She would definitely miss her..
