Chapter 289 Negotiation (1/2)

Rachel went upstairs to check on Joyce. Her little girl was fast asleep with a doll in her arms.

Jonny wanted to sleep in his mom's room but was rejected by Hiram. He didn't even consider the suggestion. Jonny had to go back to his room and sleep alone, even though he was unwilling to.

Two calm days passed.

At H City International Airport

Lydia arrived and walked out of the terminal with her luggage. Gavin picked her up, and they went back to Rong's house together.

Rachel didn't know that Lydia was back until her daughter said,”Mom, Auntie Lydia came over today. She brought us toys and a lot of snacks!”

When Rachel got home, Joyce told her about it while pointing to the toys that were piled up in the living room.

”Auntie Lydia?” Suddenly, Rachel was reminded that Hiram told her that Gavin had asked Lydia to come home from the United States.

However, she didn't know when Lydia would arrive.

”Yes! Our auntie is very beautiful, although she kept saying that I was much prettier than her!” Joyce said with a big grin on her face.

Rachel seemed speechless for a moment. She didn't know how to explain something like this to an innocent girl of only three years old. So, she forced a slight smile. ”Oh? Well, dear, that's because you are really pretty,” Rachel said.

”Mom, do you know what I think? I think that you are prettier than Auntie Lydia. My mom is the prettiest mom in the entire world!” Joyce pouted and said with a serious look on her face.

Rachel felt touched and bent over to stroke Joyce's cheeks. ”Why, thank you, sweetie. In my eyes, you are the most beautiful daughter in the world.”

Lydia came to Tulip Palace when Rachel wasn't at home. It seemed like she didn't want to meet Rachel.

There was obviously something that Rachel wasn't aware of.

After she left Tulip Palace, Lydia didn't go straight to the Rong's house. She instead went to meet someone.

In Patrick's office, Patrick stared at this beautiful woman in front of him and struggled to move his gaze away from her. He had never met her before, but because she had asked to meet him and addressed him disrespectfully by name, he somehow felt curious. Patrick was known for messing around with many women before, but he didn't remember this beauty, who seemed quite unique and intriguing.

”Hello there, beauty. What can I do for you?” Patrick sat cross-legged, looking at this mysterious, beautiful young woman in front of him.
