"Thump thump..."
The coffee-colored door handle was rusty. When it was turned gently, the Raelynn was very nervous.
The door was pulled open, and a middle-aged woman in a purple sportswear appeared before her.
She was very thin and her complexion was not very good, but she looked good. Although she was in her forties, it could be seen that she had been very beautiful when she was young.
The moment that Raelynn saw her, a sense of intimacy hit her heart. Her nose twitched, and she couldn't help but call out, "Mom, I'm back."
She had gotten this address from Rory. It had been half a year since Rory returned to the Edwards Family, and she had definitely gotten much fuller.
Most importantly, her words were dripped in venom.
The funny thing was, the names that the two families had given their children were almost the name.
Raelynn had originally thought that she would not be able to call out to her estranged mother after so long, but blood was thicker than water at the end of the day.
"Raelynn, is that you?" Malia looked at her daughter who stood before her. Raelynn looked very similar to Malia, so she could immediately recognize her at first glance.
She couldn't help but burst into tears. Rory had been taken back the day her biological parents found her.
She asked her daughter's adoptive mother where Raelynn was. The woman only replied proudly that she was abroad and never gave her any further information.
It had been almost half a year, and she couldn't get any news about her daughter no matter how hard she tried.
Now her daughter was finally back.
"Raelynn, come in." Malia said with a little restraint. The house was too small, and she was afraid that her daughter would not get used to living here.
Raelynn followed her in. The house had two rooms and a living room, and everything was well-kept. However, due to the age of the house, the walls were already moldy.
"Raelynn, sit down!" Malia found a disposable paper cup and gave her a cup of water.
Raelynn did not reject it and took a sip from the cup.
"Mom, where is my brother?" She and Ryder were twins. The nurse had made a mistake that year. The Edwards Family had not been recognized for their appearances before, but when she grew up and became more and more beautiful, her adoptive father grew doubtful and went for a DNA test. In the end, it turned out that they were not related by blood.
She had known about it when she graduated from high school.
The Edwards Family had also told her that they would find their own daughter back, and then they had to exchange for her.
She had no objection at that time. After all, she had decided to study abroad.
In the past few years when she had been studying abroad, the Edwards Family had not been able to cover her tuition fees. Fortunately, she was doing well and school. She worked hard and saved up rigorously. She even managed to receive scholarships, and in the end saved up a sizable amount.
Malia said, "Your brother went to work. He's repairing his car. He has to work overtime tonight. It's almost eight o'clock, he should be off work soon."
"Okay! I'll wait for him to get off work, then let's head out for dinner together." Raelynn glanced at the stove not far away. The simple induction stove and an electric rice cooker could only cook by the window in the living room.
The toilet was shared outside and the pipes were also shared.
Even such a house would cost more than 1,000 yuan in urban village.
Land was extremely expensive in River City. This urban village was the only one left that had not been developed, the others had all been destroyed.
The conditions for living here were too poor, and it was too far from where she worked.
When Malia noticed that Raelynn was looking around at the house, she grew nervous.
This was the new house that they had rented after Rory left.
She wanted to save money wherever she could. After all, Raelynn was still studying. When she returned, they would rent a bigger house.
Raelynn frowned. Did Rory do something?
"No, Ryder. Your sister, Raelynn, just came back yesterday."
Ryder's handsome face was filled with shock. He immediately rushed in.
The moment that he saw Raelynn, he was so excited that he choked up at his words. "My sister, you're back."
She was so beautiful!
She was more beautiful than any girl he had ever seen. He looked at his sister and did not even dare to blink.
Raelynn also looked at her younger brother. His younger brother was very handsome, with long legs and a perfect figure. His hair was as black as ink, and his eyebrows were clean. The two of them looked very similar.
"Ryder, you're back," Raelynn greeted with a smile.
"Raelynn!" Ryder threw himself into Raelynn's arms.
His sister was back, she didn't abandon them.
Raelynn gently patted her brother's back. "Ryder, I'm back. I'm sorry. I was half a year late."
"It's okay, as long as you still want us as your family." He really, really missed his sister.
He knew that Rory, that idiot, was definitely not his sister. The two of them looked nothing alike, and both her appearance and personality were ugly.
"You fool, why wouldn't I want you? Because of work, I couldn't return. Come on, we should go for dinner together to celebrate our reunion," Raelynn suggested. As she thought about life with her mother and brother, she felt happy.
She was now much more motivated.
She would work hard to earn money so that her mother and brother could live a good life.
