"Where’s my mother and father? I don’t see them. Are there guests?" Owen said as he handed the thing in his hand to the butler.
"Miss Joan came over today. She and Madam should be upstairs," the butler said with a smile as he listened to Owen’s question. freēwebnovel.com
"Joan is here. What a coincidence," Owen said, stunned by the butler’s words. He hadn’t expected Joan to be here today.
"Yes, Miss Joan said that she happened to pass by today, so she came to see Sir and Madam. Sir went out fishing and hasn’t returned. I’ll go up and call Madam. She’ll be very happy to know that you’re back," the butler said with a smile as he looked at Owen.
"Yeah, go ahead." Owen nodded, then headed for the living room with Anita.
"Madam, Young Master Owen and Miss Anita are back," the butler said with a smile as he went upstairs and looked at Sylvia and Joan, who were chatting happily in the living room on the second floor.
"What did you say? Anita is back? Why didn’t these two tell me beforehand?" Sylvia hurriedly stood up with a smile.
"Let’s go, Joan. Let’s go down quickly. You came at the right time today," Sylvia, who was holding Joan’s hand, said with a smile.
"I didn’t expect Owen to come back today. It’s indeed a coincidence," Joan said with a smile as she listened to Sylvia.
To be honest, she had come to see Sylvia today on the spur of the moment and hadn’t expected to run into Owen and Anita. She had just passed by and wanted to test the waters.
Was Owen and Anita getting a divorce? After all, a few days had passed since she sent Anita the photos. She was thinking that the two of them might be in a cold war or were already getting a divorce.
After all, those photos did look very misleading. They were also photos she had someone stalk them for so long before finally taking. She thought they would be useful, but she didn’t expect that after chatting with Sylvia for a long time, she found out about how close Owen and Anita were.
She was feeling impatient when she heard what the butler said, so she followed Sylvia downstairs quickly.
"Owen, you’re here," Joan said with a smile while looking at Owen.
"Yes, I brought Anita back for dinner," Owen said with a glance at Joan.
"Anita, you’re here too. I’m so happy we meet again." Joan looked at Anita with a smile.
"Yes, I’m very happy too. We meet again." Anita didn’t expect Joan to be here today. Hearing her words, she was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses. Joan was smiling, so she smiled as well. freēwebnovel.com
"Anita, why are you back today? Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?" Sylvia was only a step or two behind Joan. She had seen the way the three of them spoke just now. She stood there for a few minutes before going forward and smiling at Anita.
"Mom, I’m sorry. I just came back from an exchange overseas a while ago, so I came to see you." Hearing Sylvia’s words, Anita hurried forward and held her arm while smiling.
"Yes. I scolded Owen. He doesn’t have time to come back himself, but doesn’t even let you come back often," Sylvia said with a smile while glancing at Anita.
"Mom, what are you saying? When did I not let Anita come back?" Owen said with a helpless smile.
"By the way, this is a pastry for you and Dad. Didn’t you say last time that it was delicious? Anita specially asked me to buy it," Owen said with a smile as he handed Sylvia the pastry the butler had just placed on the table.
Anita froze. He hadn’t told her about the pastry at all. She looked up at Owen and questioned him with a look, but Owen didn’t say anything and just smiled at her.
She understood immediately. He had bought it, but he had given her the credit. His thoughtfulness and consideration touched Anita again.
"Anita, thank you for remembering what I like to eat." Sylvia saw their exchanges and smiled in relief. She looked at the pastries on the table and smiled at Anita.
"Mom, if you like it, we’ll bring it for you next time," When she heard Sylvia, Anita came back to her senses and said with a smile.
"Yes, sit here and rest for a while. Your father will be back soon. We’ll eat when he comes back later." Sylvia smiled and greeted them.
No one noticed that Joan was beside them. She looked at the few people standing beside her who were chatting and laughing, and she was completely ignored.
It seemed like they were the family and she was an outsider, but this wasn’t supposed to happen. Owen clearly belonged to her. Why had he become Anita’s man?
