expressions were all the same – either surprised or looking like they were watching a show.
Melissa spoke for me: “Orion, this is Yara’s daughter. Isn’t she cute? She looks just like Yara and seems to be a few years old already.”
Orion’s gaze fell on Uma, then on me, examining me for a while.
Just when I thought Orion wouldn’t pay attention to me anymore, he asked hoarsely, pointing at Uma: “During these years abroad… you got married and
had a child?”
I raised my head, looking directly at Orion, and nodded.
“I got married a while ago. Sorry I didn’t tell you.”

It was very quiet around, no one spoke.
Orion stared at me, as if trying to judge whether my words were true or
false.
Melissa seemed about to say something, but Orion had already come to stand in front of me: “Where’s your husband?”
I pursed my lips: “He’s busy recently, so he didn’t come.”
Whispers and snickers sounded around the room, though these guests seemed to restrain their laughter out of respect for Orion.
Orion’s face was aJohn, but in the end he didn’t say anything, just sat down
next to Melissa.
Q A
This meal, I ate without tasting anything.
Everyone else was praising how well–matched Orion and Melissa were, while I just wanted to take Uma to rest early.
The rent here wasn’t too expensive, I could still afford it.
I didn’t want to go abroad again.
The meal ended quickly.
I wanted to leave, but Orion stopped me, saying he had something to tell
- me.
In the end, Orion and I stayed in the private room.
Melissa was there too.
Orion looked at me coldly, his words as emotionless as his expression.
“Yara, since we all have our own families now, I hope you won’t come to bother me in the future.”
Melissa covered the smile at the corner of her lips: “Orion, don’t say that to Yara. She’s a grown woman now, she knows what she shouldn’t do.”
The couple sang in harmony, looking particularly in sync.
And I was excluded from this synchronization.
They never believed the promises I made.

But I still nodded and bowed: “I won’t in the future.”
They didn’t say anything, and I had already turned to leave with Uma in my
arms.
Orion called his assistant to send me off, but this time I refused.
After returning to the rental apartment with Uma, she suddenly asked me quietly if the uncle and aunt today disliked her.
They say children are perceptive and know everything.
I shook my head: “They don’t dislike Uma.”
They just dislike me.
Uma looked like she had many questions she wanted to ask me, but in the
end she didn’t, just hugged me and said, mom, you’ve worked hard.
The tears I had held back all day seemed about to fall at this moment.
But I couldn’t cry in front of Uma.
So I tilted my head back, holding back the tears.
After putting Uma to sleep, I suddenly received a text message.
The sender was Melissa.
“Yara, if you have time, let’s talk.”
I frowned and told her she could just text me directly.

I frowned and told her she could just text me directly.
But Melissa didn’t send any more messages.
Just before bed, I received a call from Melissa.
“I’m downstairs at your place. I just want to ask you one thing.”
“Do you have any thoughts of going abroad again recently? Orion and I actually both hope you’ll continue to stay abroad. And your husband is abroad too, right? It’s better for you to go abroad.”
I was a bit confused at first, but after realizing, I found it a bit funny.
The only thing that could make Melissa contact me late at night was probably just this.
They both hated me to this extent.
They couldn’t even stand being in the same country as me.
I glanced at Uma sleeping beside me
After going downstairs, I indeed saw Melissa standing under a streetlight.
Standing in front of her, I took a deep breath before looking directly into her eyes: “I don’t plan to go abroad.”
Even if just for Uma’s sake, I won’t take her on such a tiring journey again.
Melissa laughed lightly.
