My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1091

Although both of the ladies had similar facial features, they underwent drastically different lives that shaped them into two entirely different individuals with contrasting personalities. One of them went through a lot of hardships ever since they were young, which gave them a sharp edge in their personality as well as a piercing gaze. On the other hand, the other twin was born into riches, nor did she experience much hardship throughout life, so she grew into an even-tempered woman with a mellow personality.

When they sat together, it was as if they were looking at their own reflection, but each side of the mirror contained a much different story. Putting the cat down, Anna waved at Anne to call her over, whom she gazed at for some time before putting a smile on her face. “Anne, it’s been a while. You’re all grown up after a year’s time. You’re getting even prettier.”

Smiling amicably, Anne tilted her head while flattering, “That’s not true. You’re the one who’s getting even prettier, Aunt Anna! I wish I could be half as pretty as you!”

Anna shook her head with a smile. In the meantime, both Cade and Callum walked up to them before greeting the woman beside Anna. “Aunt Xena.”

Knowing what Anne was trying to say, Xena shook her head in resignation before seizing the chance to tell Anna, “Anna, you’ve finally secured your hold on the Yard Family. The past twenty years have been a tough journey! Nobody expected a family as prestigious as the Yards to fall from grace. We wouldn’t have come to this if the Fletchers had not massacred our family.” Mention of the past made Xena all emotional and teary.

The Yards went from reigning over the country a few hundred years ago to being forced into exile, which led to them dwindling in numbers. Fate hadn’t been kind to them, and it wasn’t until much later that they regained their past glory.

A hundred years ago, the Yards were planning to return to Cethos with the help of the other families. However, the Fletchers betrayed them by massacring the Yards, killing the head of the family and his brothers, so the Yards were soon taken over by the branch family.

The only person left of the main family was a baby who had no means of self defense while under the threat of the branch family. In the end, the Osbornes, the loyal vassal of the Yards, smuggled the baby away. They also changed his surname to Osborne and distanced themselves from the family feud, which finally prevented the Yards from being wiped out.

Unexpectedly, a pair of twins were born during Louis Osborne’s generation, which alerted the branch family of their presence. As the twin daughters were the legitimate heirs of the Yard Family, the members of the branch family sent someone after the Osbornes despite the fact that it had been two generations since they left the Yards.

Louis Osborne was forced to flee, finding temporary hideouts at various places around the world, losing one of his children during the process. Finally, he was able to seek refuge from a friend in Cethos, leaving behind their life as a refugee, but the child that Louis lost was never found due to various circumstances. However, after more than twenty years, the child they lost returned as the last direct descendant of the Yard Family.

Due to unknown reasons, Louis never told them about that friend of his, so even Xena and Anne had no idea who their savior was. However, Anna already uncovered their savior’s identity. She made sure to always be fair in her treatment of people, so she bore in mind the identity of the person who saved her family.

Sipping on her tea, she set the cup down on the table with a thud before declaring resolutely, “I came to Cethos with the intention to accomplish something important. Cethos is rapidly developing, so it is a market that the Ronney Group couldn’t afford to miss out on. After some negotiations with the relevant authorities, we agreed that both parties will put old feuds to rest in order to facilitate a reconciliation. Aside from that, there are also a lot of Yards who are living in Cethos after concealing their identities in order to avoid being hunted down. Therefore, I will be building an ancestral hall at Lombardi River, all the while searching for our kindred who are scattered across the land so that they can finally come home, which will also help replenish our numbers.”

Anne was delighted upon hearing this, as she had been waiting for it. As soon as she reverted to her original surname, she would practically be considered a princess if she lived in ancient times. Even in the modern world, she would still be the object of affection among the Yards.

On the other hand, Xena was also glad to hear the news, as she was a Yard by blood, so she figured it would be best for her if she could revert to her original surname. However, that didn’t seem to be the case with Louis, as he wanted to honor the Osbornes for raising him.

Meanwhile, Cooper needed some time alone after his recent let down, so Sophia returned to the exhibition venue alone, only to once again bump into Sandra, who was regarding her in a confrontational manner. “Wow, news sure travels fast. Louis hadn’t even changed his surname, but you’re already going all out to flatter him. Scarlett, you are one hell of a woman for trying to provoke your brother into claiming Anne Osborne as his own. However, you sure didn’t check if she even wants to be associated with the likes of you!”
