ncing at her watch, she turned to Matthew and said, “They’ve been out there for more than half a day.


    It’s too hot outside.


    We don’t want them to get sunstroke.


    Matthew, could you go call them in?”


    After Matthew went out, Lucia held Ste’s hand and chatted with Lindsay.


    Since Lucia had raised Lindsay, they had much to reminisce about, from Lindsay’s childhood antics to her school experiences.


    Lindsay, being a sweet talker, easily kept Lucia entertained.


    Unfamiliar with their shared past, Ste found herself unable to join the conversation.


    She could only smile politely as they talked, feeling awkward and out of ce for the first time within the rk family home, almost like an outsider.


    At that moment, a news notification popped up on Ste’s phone.


    Seeing Be’s name, she clicked on it.


    The news was about a post from Be’s studio, announcing Be and Ste’s mother-daughter rtionship and naming Ste the sessor of Be’s studio.


    Ste stared at the announcement, her previous disappointment reced by overwhelming gratitude and joy.


    Her mother hadn’t rejected her; instead, Be had publicly acknowledged her as her long-lost daughter.


    This recognition filled Ste’s heart with a sense of belonging and assurance that she would never be lonely again.


    Her mother cared about her deeply.


    Noticing Ste’s prolonged silence, Lucia kindly asked, “What are you reading? You look so happy.


    ”


    Ste couldn’t contain her joy.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    She smiled at Lucia and announced, “I’ve found my biological mother today.


    ”


    Lucia asked in surprise, “Have you really found your mother?”

    Ste nodded.


    “Yes, she’s a renowned designer.


    We’ve known each other for a long time, but I never knew she was my biological mother.


    It wasn’t until a few days ago that a DNA test confirmed our rtionship.


    Just now, she announced it online.


    ”


    Lucia beamed with happiness and surprise.


    “Really? That’s wonderful news! Why didn’t you share this with us earlier?”


    Ste apologized, “I wasn’t sure before, so I didn’t say anything.


    ”


    Lucia squeezed Ste’s hand, her eyes welling up with joy.


    “You’ve always wanted to find your biological mother, and now your wish has finallye true.


    Congrattions, dear.


    ”


    Lucia was genuinely happy, but the smile on Lindsay’s face faltered for a moment.


    She had seen the news on Ste’s phone and was stunned to learn that the famous designer Be was Ste’s mother.


    Ste seemed incredibly fortunate.


    Lindsay had initially thought that Ste, like herself, had no one to rely on.


    Now, suddenly, Ste had a powerful mother.


    The stark difference in their statuses fueled jealousy and resentment in Lindsay’s heart.
