Chapter 791
Jonathan took Guillermo’s hand, and Rosalie took Jennifer’s, while the two little ones held each other. The family of four walked into the kindergarten in this way.
Agyness held her daughter and walked behind, looking disheartened.
If it were in the past, Agyness might have wanted others to see her walking with Jonathan, but now she was lowering her head and wishing that everyone around her could not recognize her.
Right then, Wrenna, who was held by her, kept staring at Jennifer’s and Guillermo’s clasped hands.
Guillermo had only held her hand once when he saw her for the first time, and then he didn’t hold her hand anymore. She didn’t understand. She was much better looking than before, and she wore beautiful princess dresses. Her mother would also ask the servants to tie her hair every day. However, Guillermo was becoming less and less interested in talking to her.
She wondered, “But I’m Guille’s sister too! Is it because I’m just an adopted daughter? Mommy said that the girl who snatched the photo of the Youngblood family from me is the real daughter of the Youngblood family and his biological sister.”
When they were about to arrive at the entrance of the classroom in the kindergarten, Rosalie and Jonathan took their children inside. Rosalie communicated with the homeroom teacher while Jonathan watched on the sidelines. Meanwhile, Guillermo took Jennifer’s hand and came to the place where the children put their schoolbags in the classroom. He even helped Jennifer to put down her schoolbag.
Seeing that, Wrenna was even more jealous. Guillermo had never treated her like that.
She knew Guillermo much earlier.
“Mommy, can’t I be Guille’s real sister?” Wrenna asked, looking up at Agyness.
Startled, Agyness looked around quickly. As no one was there, she pulled her daughter and said in a low voice, “Don’t say these words again.”
“Why? Papa Jon said that I will be Guille’s sister from now on,” Wrenna said unhappily.

Agyness whispered, “You can only keep this in your heart from now on, understand? Stop quarreling with Jennifer in the kindergarten and try to avoid her. Mommy will make you his real sister in the future.”
When Agyness said this, she looked over his daughter’s shoulders and saw Rosalie standing side by side with Jonathan in the classroom through the glass window.
“Even if this woman is now the lady of the Youngblood family, so what? It’s already been five years. If Mr. Youngblood really had feelings for this woman, he wouldn’t have let those gossip scandals circulate. I suppose Mr. Youngblood came to the kindergarten with this woman today just because of her child. As long as I remain patient, one day I will become the lady of the Youngblood family!” Agyness swore to herself. She was full of jealousy.
In the design institute, Lillian was drawing. As Rosalie had recently come back with Jennifer, she was in a good mood.
It would be much easier to meet her in Strico from then on.
Five years ago, she had been seriously injured and hospitalized. Later, she had been discharged from the hospital, and it had taken her another year to recover.
Her supervisor from her previous design institute had asked her to come back to work again, and so she did and had been working until now.
At that moment, Lillian’s phone rang. She picked up the phone and heard her mother’s voice coming from the other side. Unsurprisingly, she told her about the blind date again and asked if she was free that night. It happened that a friend had introduced a good man.”
Lillian took her phone and went to the corridor outside the office. Then she said to her mother, “Mom, I’ll find someone by myself. Don’t worry about it and stop finding me blind dates. How many has it been already?”
“It’s been a few years. You are now 33, not 28. It won’t be long before you reach the advanced maternal age. It’s not easy for a woman to find a date when she’s 35!” Abigail advised earnestly.
Lillian’s eyes darkened. She knew her mother was worried and anxious. They were afraid that after they died, she would be alone without anybody to take care of her. They were also afraid that she would miss the woman’s childbearing age and eventually have no children.
However, she didn’t think that there was no way to live alone.
In fact, one could also live well alone. It was no big deal. When she grew

old in the future, she just needed to find a nursing home.
She just didn’t want her parents to worry about her anymore. They had had their fill of worrying about her.
“All right, all right. Give me the contact information of that person. I’ll call him later and meet him tonight, okay?” Lillian said.
Hearing that, Abigail ended the call with satisfaction.
After a while, Lillian received the phone number and personal information from her mother on WhatsApp.
Lillian sighed slightly. Maybe as her mother said, she was already 33 years old, not 28 years old anymore. She was no longer young. After five years, she should have already forgotten about Callum. Suddenly, a voice in her heart asked her if she had really let go.
Putting away her phone, Lillian walked toward the office. When she passed by the dressing room, a colleague suddenly stopped her and said, “Lillian, your ex-boyfriend is coming to Strico!”
Everyone in the dressing room heard that and turned to look at them.
Lillian looked at the other party. It was Rebecca Powell, an experienced employee at the institute. When Lillian was in a relationship with Callum, Rebecca was already there.
At that time, Rebecca had mocked and ridiculed her a lot.
Right then, Lillian was stunned to hear that her ex-boyfriend was coming to Strico.
Many senior employees knew that her ex-boyfriend was Callum.
“Is he coming to Strico?” Lillian wondered.
As if to answer her question, a new employee asked Rebecca curiously, “Ms. Powell, who is Ms. Quinn’s ex-boyfriend? Is he famous?”
“Yes. He’s the chairman of White Maple Group. What do you think? Is he famous or not?” Rebecca said jokingly, but her eyes flashed with smugness and contempt for Lillian.
She thought, “Even if Lillian and Callum were dating back then, she still got dumped in the end! Now she’s worse than me. I married a man from a good family, and I’m doing much better than Lillian now!”
As soon as Rebecca said the name Callum, many people in the office who had just joined the institute in the past five years showed a surprised expression on their faces.
They were shocked that Lillian and the chairman of White Maple Group
had been in a relationship before.
