Kachel’s body was woli, warms, anıl the faint fragrance that clung to her wasn’t from any perfume–junst something natural, lingering in the air.
He had been physically clone in Hachel many times before, but it hadn’t registered just how perfect her figure was until now. Maybe it was just his imagination, but she seemneid even more.. full–figured than before. Especially where he had just touched her.
Rachel glared at him with disgust, the thought of him–his hand–touching her, the same handh that had once touched Callie, made her stomach
George snapped out of it, his face burning with endarrassment as he realized she had left an angry, red mark on his cheek
“Hachel” he growled, “you actually laid a hand on me?” He thought, What is with that look on her face? The disgust in her eyes

Our came Sybil Fox, strutting toward them, her designer handbag in hand. She was dressed in a tight, dumond–studded dress that clung to her curves, looking every bit the part of the spoiled rich girl.
Her eyes widened when she saw Rachel tranding near to George.
You don’t want a divorce, do your Stall (trying to cling in my brother? How shameless! My brother and Callie are in love, and now that chack, you’re still here, not knowing when to back off?” Sybil said
Back when Rachel had lived with the Fox family, Sybil had always made life difficult for her. But now, Rachel want the same woman anymore.
“Cling to him?” Rachel shot back, her voice dripping with disdain. “You should ask your brother who begged me to come here today. If anyone clinging, it’s your precious larother, not me
Sybil thought. What? She looked at Hathiel in surprise, eyeing her from head to toe. This was the same Hachel who, in the past, barely spoke a in the Fox family, always suiri aisi murek.

“You’re not implying that my brother beggeil you to come back, are you? My brother isn’t that shameless?” Sybil said.
Sybil, raised by Willa, was just as naive and clueless. She didn’t even realize that, in trying to defend herself, she had indirectly insulted George as “Mumeless” Meanshule, George’s lace darkened, clearly annoyed

Rachel couldn’t help but touch her stomach. “Having a child isn’t just my responsibility. Your brother tried for three years, and nothing came of it. Maybe it’s George’s problem

“What? But Callie is already pregnant, so how could it be that it’s my brother’s problem?” Sybil was in shock, thinking, How could Rachel dare talk back bke this, and even insinuate that George isn’t capable!”
Rachel raised an eyebrow and smirked. “Yeah, three years with me, and not a single thing happened.
“But as soon as Callie comes back, she’s pregnant. Dont you think something’s off? Of co then forget I said anything”

“Rachel‘” George stepped forward, his anger flaring.
Rachel was becoming sharper and sharper with her words. Even Sybil, who had always been the biggest troublemaker in the family, was no march
Just as Sybil was about to fire back, a calm, authoritative voice interrupted from behind. “Are you planning to start a rebellion here?”
The voice was steady, but there was a weight to it. The figure that appeared was none other than Sigmund, his white hair and thin frame a stark contrast to the energy he radiated. Despite his frailty, he still had an undeniable presence.
Sybil quickly adopted a wounded expression. “Grandfather, Rachel is bullying me!”
“Do you think I’m deaf?” Sigmund shot a sharp look at Sybil, then turned toward Rachel. His face softened, and he walked briskly toward her
He grabbed her hand and, in a complete shift from his earlier sternness, spoke like a child, full of playful reproach. “Why haven’t you come to see me in so long? Do you not want me as your grandfather anymore?
Rachel’s hear softened, and a lump rose in her throat. She looked at Sigmund, guilt flooding her chest.
For the past three years, he had always wanted her to have a child, not for any other reason, but because he wanted to spoil the grandchild of the Fox family. But she hadn’t been able to fulfill that wish.
Now, she was carrying the Fox family’s child, yet she was planning to secretly have an abortion. The thought of it made her feel deeply guilty toward Sigmund.
Sybil seeing that her complaints were completely ignored, stomped her foot and stormed off in frustration
George had always known Sigmund doted on Rachel, but he had never realized just how much.
Sigmund, who was a living legend in the business world, feared and respected by all, was now showing a completely different side.
In front of Rachel, he was like any other elder–kind, caring, even playful. He seemed almost childlike, like he was pouting at her. George thought. “Has Rachel really cast some kind of spell on him?‘
“Grandfather… I’ve been busy lately, so I haven’t been able to visit, Rachel said apologetically, following Sigmund into the house.
