Claire didn't delve deeper into her thoughts. She looked at Bertie and said, "Uncle, Annie is called Monica, she's our friend. In fact, we all already knew each other, but we only recently found out that she is our sister."
Bertie sat down in his chair, full of interest in the details about his daughter. "Claire, tell me more about her," he said, following Rowan's wishes, taking the opportunity to give Bertie a preliminary understanding of Monica.
At the Swain family villa, after having breakfast, Monica's phone rang. Her parents' gaze fell on her phone placed on the table. Monica picked it up and looked at the screen, then glanced at the two elders sitting on the opposite couch. "It's... Dr. Watson."
"Hurry and answer it," Algerone urged.
Monica's finger slid to answer the call, and she put it on speakerphone. Rowan's voice came through, "Monica, have you had breakfast?"
"I just finished."
"I'm on my way to pick you up. I'll be there in about ten minutes."
"Okay." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"See you in a bit. Bye~" After speaking, Rowan hung up.
Then there was a brief silence in the Swain family living room. They were already prepared to leave and didn't have much to tidy up. The only thing they needed to tidy up were their feelings and
emotions.
After a short while, Rowan's car stopped in the yard filled with blooming roses. He got out of the car. Under the bright sunlight, his tall and imposing figure exuded a certain aura.
Algerone and Belinda walked out of the living room with Monica.
"Good morning, Uncle and Aunt," he greeted them politely. "Monica."
As the king of Lu Layeka, the two elders of the Swain family didn't know how to greet him for a moment, they just smiled and nodded, "Hello, Dr. Watson."
"Brother," Monica's gaze fell on his face.
Rowan was slightly taken aback, meeting her gaze. A beautiful smile curved his lips.
"Let's go," Monica opened the back door. "Belinda, you sit inside."
Belinda withdrew her gaze and got into the car.
Rowan's gentle gaze remained on the girl. Her earlier 'brother' had given him a great deal of energy, making him feel content in body and mind.
After Monica got into the car and sat next to Belinda, she turned to look outside. "Dad, sit here! Come in quickly!"
"Okay." Algerone nodded quickly and bent down to sit next to his daughter.
Rowan closed the car doors for them and returned to the driver's seat. The car set off towards Rowan's home, not at a fast pace. The morning breeze blew in through the car window, failing to blow away the various thoughts in everyone's hearts.
Each person in the car had a different mood. Monica sat between her parents, with both of their hands holding hers, cherishing the feeling of their grasp.
She could feel the strength in their tight hold. She glanced at her mother, who was looking out the window, her expression unreadable. Then she looked at Algerone, who also gazed out the window, his expression inscrutable as well.
Monica lowered her eyes, silent... She could sense their complex emotions at this moment, which must have been filled with a lot of reluctance and helplessness.
Monica also held their hands tightly, responding with the same strength, providing them with a kind of comfort in an intangible way.
Throughout the journey, Rowan didn't say much. He drove seriously, ensuring everyone's safety. Occasionally, he glanced at the people in the back through the rearview mirror, and he probably had a good idea of what they were thinking at that moment.
At Rowan's home, Claire basically introduced Monica's situation once again. Bertie listened attentively, and after hearing it, he was very excited, feeling that his daughter was a kind and loving girl.
As he listened, he pictured Monica's face in his mind, the sweet smile on her face in the bookstore. She had put in a lot of effort for her adoptive parents' remarriage. However, just yesterday, her wish had finally been fulfilled. As her biological father, he was also very happy.
As long as the people you love are still alive, you can overcome any hardship.
