"Miss, staying outside with your child all the ti isn’t a good solution.
Why don’t you just co back first?
If you return, I can help you take care of the child."
Faye shook her head with a smile: "It’s alright, I’ll buy a house outside.
Living with my brother gives pressure.
Watching him only get angry every day."
Hearing her say this, Uncle Rivers also smiled helplessly.
Faye understood the bitterness within that smile.
She was well aware of how difficult Richard was to deal with.
Over the years, Uncle Rivers being able to stay here was indeed a struggle for him.
"Uncle Rivers, once I buy a house, you can co live with .
You can help take care of the child.
Anyway, there’s nothing much at my brother’s place.
With you taking care of the child at ho, I can be at ease."
Uncle Rivers laughed: "Alright."
"Then I’ll be going now."
Faye took the car arranged by Uncle Rivers to the hotel.
On the way, Uncle Rivers’ words kept echoing in her mind.
’Later I heard that Mr. Warren fell seriously ill after that.
It took him several months to recover.’
She closed her eyes, constantly reminding herself that his illness had nothing to do with her, and there was no need to worry unnecessarily.
It was already late, and when she returned to the hotel, Darnley was already asleep.
The nanny had left, leaving only Oliver Turner with him.
Seeing her return, Oliver Turner got off the bed and walked up to her: "Why did you return so late? Was it not smooth?"
Faye shook her head: It went smoothly, it’s been years since I last went ho, had a al there, when did you co over?"
"A little after six, I ca to have dinner with the kid."
Faye pursed her lips and sat down tiredly on the sofa: "Thanks, I didn’t expect to be back so late."
"No need to be polite with , how did things go with Richard?"
He followed her: "His temper is indeed tough on you, do you need to talk to him?"
She shook her head: "No need, things with him are settled.
I’ll have him work as the deputy general manager in the company.
Sa conditions, salary as before.
I’ll also give him half of my bonus."
"That’s because he’s your real brother, if it were soone else, I wouldn’t agree to you doing this."
Faye smiled bitterly: "Yeah, because he’s my real brother, no matter what he does, I have to endure it."
After she spoke, she turned to look at him: "Just like I am spoiled and indulged, my parents love him just as much.
So, even if the sky falls, I have to help him through it."
Oliver Turner looked at her, raising his hand to hold hers: "Silly, the sky won’t fall."
Faye smiled in relief: "That’s true."
She quietly withdrew her hand, stood up, and walked over to the bed: "When did Darnley fall asleep?"
"About half an hour ago."
Oliver Turner’s hand naturally rested on his other hand.
No matter how lightly she moved, he understood her aning.
She didn’t like to be touched like this, except when she was acting in front of Hunter Warren.
"Little one, you sleep so well." She sat down at the side of Darnley’s head on the bed.
"Faye, today’s events... might have been sudden for you and your brother.
But my intention was just to give you a surprise."
Faye chuckled softly: "I know, I was a bit off today.
I felt a little anxious at the ti, didn’t an anything else, don’t take it to heart.
Oliver, it’s late, you should go ho and rest."
Oliver Turner hesitated for a mont, then nodded: "Alright, you worked hard today too, rest early, I’ll head back first."
Faye pursed her lips and nodded: "Then I won’t see you out."
Watching Oliver Turner leave, Faye’s expression turned much calr.
She sat quietly on the bed, looking out the window, gently stroking Darnley’s head.
After returning to Anchester, her life will undergo a major change.
For soone who once lived in Eldoria, this is naturally not a difficult thing.
As long as she avoids having too much to do with Hunter Warren, she can start anew completely.
But what about the child?
What about the child who has never experienced life in Eldoria?
It might take them a long ti to adjust to everything here.
Suddenly feeling a bit guilty towards the child.
Not sure if taking on the Townsend company presidency today will have any impact on the child’s future.
She got up and went to the balcony to call Forrest.
After hearing her say she’ll stay in Eldoria and not return, Forrest was silent for a while.
But finally, he couldn’t help but ask: "Are you up to it?"
"Forrest, to be honest, I don’t really know if I can do it.
But so things are right there, we’ll have to face them sooner or later.
If I don’t try, how will I know I can’t do it?"
"I was referring to going back to face Hunter Warren."
This ti, Faye fell silent.
"Speak, don’t play dumb."
Faye bit her lip, recalling Uncle Rivers’ words in her mind.
She sighed and nodded: "I can do it."
"Hunter Warren voting for you was clearly intentional to keep you, be careful yourself.
If you can’t handle it, my shoulder is always here for you to lean on."
Faye laughed: "Why am I so touched?"
"Stop pretending, have you managed to persuade Darnley?
How about I take Miya back to visit in a few days?"
"No need, I’ll talk to him first.
I respect Darnley’s decision, if he wants to stay with in Eldoria, I’d be happy.
But if he doesn’t want to stay here, I’ll send him back to Switzerland.
Anyway, there’s still you in Switzerland, so I’m not that worried."
Forrest thought for a mont, then nodded: "Alright then, ask Darnley what he wants first.
I actually hope he can stay there to keep you company.
If you were alone in Anchester, I wouldn’t feel at ease."
Faye laughed: "Darnley would probably want to go back to Switzerland because Miya is there, and he might not want to part with Miya."
"Thinking about it, why do I feel a bit uneasy, like I don’t want to part with you?"
Faye pursed her lips with a smile: "Isn’t that to be expected?
I’ve accompanied you for six years, if you warmly welco back to Eldoria, I’d be unhappy."
Forrest crossed his arms: "Honestly, sotis I miss going back too."
"Then co back."
"But I can’t, my dad watches so closely, I don’t want to endure his abuse.
Besides, where in the country can you find as many stunning and competent girls?
I still prefer the exotic flavors."
"Stop it, you never stay on topic for more than three sentences."
Forrest laughed: "By the way, when you go back, you won’t stop being my partner, will you?
Otherwise, I’d really be at a loss."
"If you need , I’m certainly still willing to serve you.
For all these years you’ve helped , I ought to reward you."
"That eases my mind, about the child... are you really not planning to tell Hunter Warren?"
Faye leaned against the balcony, her expression calm: "Yes, this child is mine, it has nothing to do with him."
"What do you an it’s just yours, the child is mine too, alright.
Although not by blood, I’m also the child’s dad, alright."
Faye laughed softly: "Alright, stop being sentintal, it’s late, I won’t chat with you anymore, I’m going inside to rest."
"Alright, I decree, my dear concubine, go rest quickly."
In recent years, Faye’s sleep quality hasn’t been great.
She often suffered from insomnia, and sotis she couldn’t fall back asleep once she awoke.
So she laid awake through the night until dawn.
In the middle of the night, Faye was startled awake from a nightmare. When she opened her eyes, she checked the ti—it was just 1:30.
She knew that this was going to be another sleepless night.
Since she couldn’t sleep, she got out of bed, poured herself a glass of wine, and went to the window to look out.
In such a quiet night, her mind was chaotic.
Anchester was a truly daunting place, always able to unsettle a calm heart for no reason.
She didn’t know how long she sat when a child’s voice sounded behind her: "Mom..."
Faye turned around, and at so point, Darnley sat up.
His eyes were half-closed and he looked like he hadn’t completely woken up.
Only in such monts would he cutely call her mom.
She got up, walked over to the bed, and asked: "Darnley, why are you awake?"
"I need to go to the bathroom."
Faye patted his head: "Go on."
Darnley slowly climbed out of bed and walked into the bathroom.
After a while, he ca out, not returning to bed but standing in front of Faye, opening his arms for a hug.
She held him on her lap, embracing him: "Alright, I’ve got you, continue sleeping now."
"Faye, do you have sothing on your mind?"
"No."
"If you didn’t, you wouldn’t be drinking. I’m a big kid now, you can tell ."
Faye smiled speechlessly, activating the little adult mode again.
"Darnley, mom will stay in Eldoria from now on and can’t return to Switzerland.
Would you like... to stay in Eldoria with mom?"
Darnley furrowed his brows and looked sowhat unhappy: "But didn’t you say we were just here for a few days and then leave?"
Faye felt troubled: "I’m sorry, I hadn’t expected it to be like this at the ti.
Now, the situation is just like this.
Mom has to stay, there’s no choice.
What about you, do you want to stay here with , or return to Switzerland?"
Darnley pouted: "What about Miya, will Miya co to Eldoria too?"
Faye shook her head: "Miya isn’t well enough to co to Eldoria for now.
But if you miss her, I can always take you back to see her."
Darnley seed very uneasy, and Faye tightly embraced him: "Mom isn’t forcing you, Darnley.
No matter what choice you make, mom will respect your decision.
You don’t have to answer now, just give an answer before the holidays end."
"Well... let think about it."
Faye nodded: "Alright, it’s late, you need to rest."
"Faye, stay with , drinking at night isn’t good."
"Alright." Faye lay down, holding him, and with the mother and child leaning close together, Faye unknowingly fell asleep.
