For the past few days, her family had lived in pain because of her. She could not even hear laughter in the family anymore, wishing the gloomy air would fade away soon. Hence, no matter how heartbroken she was, she had to learn to face life calmly.
She would do it even if there were no more joy in her life, where she could never recover from Jasper’s departure. After all, this man had occupied her whole heart, a sacred place where no other man could squeeze his way in.
With quick steps, Elliot hastily went over to them. When the bodyguard was about to open the car door, he waved them away and opened it himself. With reddened eyes, Willow smiled at her father. “Dad!”
His heart ached as he reached out to pat her. “Your mother made some of your favorite food. Come on, let’s go in.”
“Okay!” With that, she held her father’s arm as they entered the hall.
Anastasia went out early in the morning to shop for the ingredients. Then, she busied herself in the kitchen from morning until then, desperately wanting her daughter to eat more. In just a few days, Willow had lost a few. pounds. Her health would be at risk if she kept that up.
With her baby in her arms, Ellen came over and greeted Willow. Looking at her adorable nephew, Willow also felt a little better. She held the baby, gazing at his cute face, and then planted a kiss on his little cheek.
Seeing that her son could make Willow a little happier, Ellen left and worked on other things so that Willow could spend more time with her son.
The baby was quite an effective cure for downcast hearts. He would giggle after someone played with him, and his chubby fingers would touch Willow’s face as he babbled with an innocent voice.
When Anastasia saw Willow playing with her grandson, she let out a sigh of relief as well. Elliot, who had been helping her since this morning, walked over. Wrapping his arms around his wife, he whispered, “Her mood has improved.”
Anastasia leaned into his embrace. At that moment, she felt calm and quiet. He lowered his head and kissed her hair. “You’ve worked hard.”
At noon, Willow felt her appetite returning as she enjoyed her mother’s cooking. She had also. finished the soup her father ladled out for her.. Due to that, Anastasia knew she would have to be in charge of cooking for the foreseeable future. Now, they only had servants who came. to help out at specific times and would not need the others for the time being.
She had also heard about the incident with Sasha, whom she still felt sorry for. Although Sasha almost harmed her daughter, her family was also involved, despite being innocent. At last, Sasha also paid for her crimes with her life. Anastasia’s heart was heavy when she thought about it.
Every life mattered, and none was less deserving than the other.
