Chapter 468
“Mrs. Lane, it wasn’t easy for Sonny and my sister to fall asleep, so don’t wake them up yet. Just keep some porridge warm on the stove for them to eat when they wake up.”
Mrs. Lane nodded. “Alright.”
The three ate breakfast together. Serenity made herself a cup of instant coffee to wake herself up.
Once Mrs. Lane finished eating, she left the little dining area. Zachary took advantage of this to reach out and hold Serenity’s hand.
“Seren.”
Zachary said warmly, “You should stay home and rest. I’ll go alone.”
Serenity held her hand back and reassured him, “I’m fine. I’ll be able to hold up as long as I finish this cup of coffee. And anyway, you’re going to the Reptons‘. You might have to continue arguing with them, and you’re not as good as I am in that department. Even if brought all your cousins, you might not be able to win against Chelsea Repton in an argument.”

Today, her mother would return from their seaside villa.
Elisa hoped very much that when her mother returned, she would have some good news for her that could cheer her up.
Serenity hesitated for a moment before saying, “Elisa, I do think your aunt looks familiar to me. Like… If Sonny wore pigtails and a dress, he’d look a little similar to your aunt. Maybe… Maybe kids all look about the same when they’re that young.”
Afraid that Elisa would misunderstand that she was trying to create a relationship where there was none, Serenity hurriedly explained, “Elisa, I don’t mean anything else by it. Just that when I looked at it closely, I thought Sonny shared some degrees of similarity to your aunt. In a few days, when I’m free, I’ll try to draw a likeness of what your aunt might look like as an adult from the photo of her as a kid.”
If Sonny really did look similar to Elisa’s aunt, that would mean her mother was Elisa’s aunt.
However, her mother died fifteen years ago.
Elisa was silent.
Her silence made Serenity uneasy. Worried that Elisa would misunderstand her, she said once again, “Elisa, give me a few days‘ time. I’ll help illustrate your aunt as an adult. I’m just not free right now. I mentioned that Sonny looked a little like your aunt, but maybe kids all look about the same at that age, so don’t think much about it.”
Mrs. Stone had been looking for her sister for many years now, and there had been people who had tried to pose as her sister to try and make connections with the Stones.
Serenity did not want Elisa to misunderstand her.
