Chapter 358 – Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

“Stay a bit longer,’ Shirley pleaded. “You and George should drop by the Collins family more often.

Their daughter is such a catch, and Romeo swooped in and took her away in no time. We should pay them a visit.”

“Right on,’ Phillip nodded approvingly. “You and George definitely need to visit them more.”

Jennifer sighed inwardly. No matter how outstanding, no one could hold a candle to Melody. Melody was the ideal daughter-in-law in her eyes.

Jennifer couldn’t resist messaging Melody on WhatsApp.

[Melody, what are you up to?]

Mirabella replied promptly: [Shopping.]

[What are you planning to buy? I can help you pick.] Jennifer was eager to help.

[All done shopping.] Mirabella had just paid, and after a thought, she asked, [Are you feeling better today?]

Jennifer was over the moon! Melody cared about her!

[I’m much better, your remedy worked wonders! How are you so amazing? You seem to know everything.] Jennifer couldn’t resist asking, [Do you live in Summerfield?]

[Yes.]

[We live in Summerfield too. Let’s meet up for some tea soon. I owe you a big thank you. I managed to find the person who poisoned me, thanks to you!]

Jennifer sighed again. [I’ve known her for twenty years, and to think she’d want to kill me over some petty gains.]

[People are like that,] Mirabella, her hands full of shopping bags, sent back a voice message: “It’s okay

if you’re doing better than me, but not too much better. Otherwise, your happiness only serves to highlight my unhappiness. So, from admiration to jealousy, and then from jealousy to hatred, if you don’t adjust your mindset in time, you’ll end up making the wrong move.”

[Melody, how do you know all these life lessons? And your voice is so beautifull]

Jennifer didn’t expect such wisdom from a girl in her teens. And her voice was simply stunning.

She was drawn in by her voice during their chat last night.

And now, listening to her voice so closely, her captivating voice was just magnetic.

[I wonder if things would have turned out differently if I had cut ties with her sooner.] Jennifer pondered.

“Right, haven’t you noticed? People who rarely change friends usually grow at the same pace as their friends. But those who grow rapidly tend to change friends quickly too. Because their social circles are different. Trying to force a relationship would only make the other party uncomfortable.” Jennifer listened to her advice, deep in thought.

“Some friends are only meant to accompany you for a certain part of your life’s journey. There’s no

need to feel regret. As long as you gave all your heart during the time you spent together and truly felt joy, even if the end result wasn’t what you hoped for or even if you had to pay a price, you’d still gain something, right?

You’ll definitely meet better friends in the future.” [Do you think I could meet better friends?]

“Of course, you’re a great person. You’re sure to meet friends who truly care about you.”

Jennifer was touched. She hadn’t expected Melody to be both comforting and complimentary.

[Are you free tomorrow afternoon? I’d like to invite you for a tea.]

Maybe realizing the girl was still young, Jennifer added, [Or coffee works too.]

Mirabella gave a light smile, and before she could reply, Jennifer sent another message.

[You saved me, comforted me. No matter what you say, I owe you a drink.]

Mirabella’s slender fingers typed back, [Alright]

[What time suits you?] Jennifer asked eagerly.

[Anytime.]

[How about three in the afternoon?]

[Sure.]

[What would you like to drink? Coffee or tea?]

[Either is fine.]

The girl was so easy-going that Jennifer liked her even more and began to look forward to meeting her the next day.

[Let me find a popular spot. I’ll send you the address later.]

Jennifer sent a happy emoji.

[Alright.]

Mirabella put her phone away after replying to the last message.

“What were you chatting about?” At this time, Romeo, who had just finished his work, came to pick up Mirabella from the mall and casually took the shopping bags from her hands.

He didn’t expect Mirabella would buy so much stuff for his parents, and even more surprising was that she was laughing and chatting with someone on her phone while carrying all these bags.

“A very interesting lady; Mirabella’s eyes softened. “I have to go out tomorrow afternoon.” “To meet that lady you mentioned?” “Mhm.

Romeo was confused. Mirabella wasn’t the type to enjoy socializing. What kind of lady could make her

take out time, especially to meet?

“How did you guys meet?” Romeo asked as he opened the car door for her and fastened her seat belt.

“Last night, when I was exchanging music scores,”

“You got close so quickly?” “Mhm, it feels like we’ve known each other before.”

She felt very comfortable with the lady, as if they had known each other for a long time.

“If I knew you were going to The Aurora Haven last night, I would have gone with you,’ Romeo explained. “I own that club now.”

Mirabella was somewhat surprised. “Isn’t that Mr. Dylan’s club?” She had happened to save Mr. Dylan before, and the staff at the club were particularly polite to her when she went there afterwards.

Later, when she saved the club manager and the waitstaff, they all respected her from the bottom of their hearts.

“Previously, the Hunter family was facing a financial crisis. I helped Mr. Dylan out, and in gratitude, he transferred the club to me and decided to focus on his real estate business.”

If it wasn’t for Romeo, the Hunter family would have been drowning in debt. In fact, there would be no Hunter family in Summerfield.

“Then why are the manager and staff in the club still the same people? No one has been replaced?”

Mirabella asked further.

“They are familiar with the business and do a good job, so I didn’t replace them.”

Mirabella nodded in understanding. If she had known this, she would have gone with him last night, so he wouldn’t have to wait at home for over an hour.

“You seem pretty chummy with those club people?” Romeo glanced at her and asked quietly, “You go there often?” “Just occasionally.”

Mirabella briefly explained what had happened before, and in no time, they arrived at a restaurant owned by the McMillan Corporation.

In the private room.

Phillip and Shirley sat at the head of the table, checking the time every now and then.

Standing nearby, Brodie chuckled, “Phillip, Shirley, it’s not time yet.

George straightened his tie, seemed a bit nervous, and cleared his throat.

Jennifer was full of anticipation, wondering what the upcoming daughter-in-law would be like.

Five minutes later, There was a knock on the door.

Everyone turned to look, only to see Romeo walking in with a gift in one hand and a girl in the other.

What caught everyone’s eye was a beautiful girl with a distinctive demeanor. She had no makeup on,

but she was stunningly beautiful, with bright eyes and delicate features.
