“I just feel that we get along well,” Keith’s gaze fell on his mother, “and since my mother is fond of you, this reward is well deserved by you.”Â
Dorothy picked up her coffee and “dared to ask, what happened to your mother to make her like this?”Â
Judging by their status, most likely they also have some background. It is almost impossible for someone from a background family to marry a wife with mental disorders, so she does not believe that Kelsie’s mental disorder is innate.Â
It was more like being stimulated.Â
Keith tapped his fingertips on the table and said, “If there hadn’t been any accidents back then, I should still have a younger sister.”Â
Dorothy was taken aback, “Sister?”Â
He nodded, “After my mother gave birth to my sister, the doctor told her it was a stillborn. My mother witnessed her child’s death, and her mental state became unstable, sometimes normal, sometimes confused. She always believed that my sister was still alive, not dead.”Â
“No wonder,” Dorothy looked at Kelsie, who was feeding milk to the doll beside her, “Losing one’s own child must be veryÂ
difficult to bear.”Â
She really envied these children who were loved by their parents.Â
Not like her…Â
Born, “abandoned by biological parents.”Â
Childhood did not receive enough love, so she would do anything to seek love from others, truly sad and humble.Â
Fortunately…Â
She had no worries.Â
In the afternoon, it rained, and Keith’s driver took Dorothy back to Tranquility Apartments. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she smelled smoke.Â
Dwayne stood next to the trash can by the elevator, shaking the ashes into the sandbox. His eyes were dark and desolate, like a deep and bottomless sea. “Is that the photo you sent to your mother?”Â
I knew he would ask.Â
Dorothy didn’t deny it, “Yeah.”Â
The man squinted, a hint of danger in his eyes, “How did you know?”Â

Dorothy brought out the prepared chat record and placed it in front of him, smiling, “This is from your first love Congratulations, Mr. Lambert. The Lambert family doesn’t need to worry about having children anymore. You’ve got a ready–made big son!”Â
“Dorothy, didn’t I tell you not to involve Sonia in our affairs?” Dwayne suddenly grabbed her face, causing her to stiffen she shook her head to resist his touch. His hand moved down to her jaw, exerting pressure. She winced in pain, furrowing her brows. “What were you trying to accomplish by sending the photos to my mother?”Â
Dwayne looked at her as if she were a fool and joked, “Are you trying to show off to them, or do you want to use my mother to deal with them?”Â
Dorothy’s smile froze on her face, “If the Lambert family accepts this child, won’t you have a future? I am just helping youÂ
He let go, and Dorothy staggered back a step, but managed to stand firm.Â
“Don’t do extra things,” he crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray, “That’s not my child.”Â
Dorothy sneered, looked past Dwayne, and glanced at his gloomy profile, “He’s not your child, it’s none of my business.”Â
Without waiting for the man to react, Dorothy entered the room.Â
Dwayne was still standing in the corridor, with light and shadow reflecting in from the window, half dark and half bright, also burying his face reflected on the glass window.Â
In an extremely oppressive atmosphere, the ringing of the phone pierced through the dead silence.Â
