Chapter 117: Just 3 Years (1)

Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Just 3 Years (1)Madam Ward and Caiden Ward moved to the side, curiously asking, "Who was that that took Mia Ginger away?"

"Ivy Cox’s brother," Caiden Ward chuckled, "Didn’t you hear just now? The little girl called him ’Uncle’."

"Oh, I just wanted to confirm."

"Why?" Caiden Ward glanced at her suspiciously, "Did Cousin also call you?"

Otherwise, given his mother’s nature, she wouldn’t be so warm towards Mia Ginger.

"Also?" Madam Ward pondered the meaning in his words, raising an eyebrow, "Does Koa really like this girl?"

"Who knows?" Caiden Ward shrugged, "You know how he is, always so elusive you can’t figure him out. But..."

He shifted the topic, "He must have some interest, at least."

"Is that so?" Madam Ward nodded, saying nothing more.

On the other side—

Lydia Williams looked truly upset.

Marianne Jackson eyed her cautiously for a while, then carefully asked, "Who was that woman just now, so arrogant?"

"What do you know?" Lydia Williams replied crossly, "In the future, avoid her when you see her. That’s Cesar Myres’ treasure, better to provoke Cesar Myres than Ivy Cox, ever heard of that? That’s Ivy Cox."

"The Myres?" Marianne Jackson laughed helplessly, "Are we really afraid of the Myres?"

"Of course not," Lydia Williams glared at her, "Your grandpa doesn’t like the Myres’ way of handling things, so... don’t annoy him, got it?"

"Oh," Marianne Jackson paused for a moment, pursed her lips, then shifted the topic, "And what about that man just now? The one who pulled Ivy Cox away."

"That should be Louis Cox."

"He’s Louis Cox?"

"Indeed, not a good character, better to stay away." Lydia Williams looked at her suspiciously, "Why are you asking about him?"

"Just curious." Marianne Jackson blushed, quickly replied.

Lydia Williams stared at her sharply, "You’re about to go to college, focus on your studies, and you need to go abroad for further studies after college. Forget about such messy thoughts, don’t think about love affairs. What is Louis Cox to deserve you?"

"What are you saying?!" Marianne Jackson suddenly flared up, "I was just curious, who’s thinking about romance!"

"Better not," Lydia Williams said sternly, "You can date abroad, no chance in this country. Your marriage is for your father and I to decide, understand?"

"Got it, got it."

Lydia Williams poked her hard on the forehead.

Suddenly, the music in the hall stopped.

Ginger Family’s servants pushed a six-layer cake out from the kitchen.

Immediately, a lively birthday song began to play.

Aiden Jiang and Charlotte Chester stood below the stage, watching as Mia Ginger approached, then raised their eyes to search for Zuri Ginger.

Two servants hurried forward, whispering, "Everyone says they haven’t seen the eldest Miss."

"Haven’t seen her?" Charlotte Chester exclaimed in surprise, "What’s that girl doing? At such a time, where did she run off to?"

Zuri Ginger would be turning twenty-two after her birthday, about to graduate from college. The birthday party was a good opportunity for social interactions and thus important, yet she disappeared without a word?

Charlotte Chester’s face turned as dark as a burnt frying pan.

"Keep looking!" Aiden Jiang’s face didn’t look any better.

"Yes." The two servants responded and turned away.

Aiden Jiang glanced at Mia Ginger standing quietly by his side, then suddenly spoke, "Come back."

The two servants paused and looked at him.

"Just look for two minutes, or forget it, we can’t let everyone wait aimlessly," Aiden Jiang said.
