Besides coming to my house to visit my daughter every day, she also organized her daughter’s birthday every year.
She spent Children’s Day with her daughter and participated in the parent–child
activities at school.

Whenever he saw Lauryn coming to our house, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
Sometimes he even took a glance and flirted with her in front of me, secretly sending off a flirtatious message.
Even Briela was getting more and more intimate with her.
Also, he bought a pair of home slippers for her so that she could come over at anytime.
This kind of life continued until Briela took
the college entrance test.
On the day the scores came out, my best friend came to my house early in the

“It’s not easy for her to manage the company alone. You have to fight for it. Otherwise, how can you help her share the burden in the future? How can you let her trust you to hand over the company to you?”
Seeing this, Lauryn quickly interrupted. “Flora is Briela’s biological mother, how can she ignore her?”
Briela also agreed. “That’s right, I’m Mommy’s only daughter. With so many companies under her name, how can she let me starve?”
Lauryn looked at her daughter with a little appreciation, then looked at me and said.
