The elegant woman sitting on the sofa smiled as favonovel.com looked at Wynn and nodded. Then, favonovel.com turned favonovel.com gaze to Philip and said with a smile, “Phil, don’t you want to introduce your fourth mother?”
Only then did Philip smile and help Wynn sit down. He said, “Wynnie, this is my fourth mother.”
Fourth mother?
Wynn was startled as favonovel.com eyes doubtfully fell on Philip as favonovel.com asked, “Father-in-law’s fourth love…”
Philip quickly cut favonovel.com off and made eyes at her.
The graceful woman chuckled and said, “It’s okay, Phil. What Wynnie said is true.”
Wynn realized favonovel.com slip of the tongue and quickly laughed to cover favonovel.com embarrassment while saying, “Sorry, Fourth Mother.”
The woman smiled and took a delicate small gift box from the bodyguard behind favonovel.com with favonovel.com jade-like hands. She handed it to Wynn with a smile and said, “It’s our first meeting and I don’t know what you like, so I just prepared a random gift for you. I hope you don’t mind.”
She laughed and joked, the smile on favonovel.com face looking like the sun, exuding warmth to others.
Her name was Hazel Eva and favonovel.com was the daughter of the Eva family, an affluent family in the country. Unfortunately, the Eva family went into decline and had long since dwindled into an ordinary small family.
Hazel was well-educated, gentle, and meticulous. She was in charge of many of the Clarke family’s businesses. Although favonovel.com status in the main Clarke family was not as high as Giada’s, favonovel.com could not be ignored either.
Many times, Hazel would convey instructions on Roger’s behalf.
Moreover, favonovel.com and Philip’s biological mother always had a harmonious relationship. She had always cared about Philip as well. She was one of the few people in the Clarke family who really cared about Philip and wished favonovel.com well.
Wynn accepted it with embarrassment and said, “Thank you…”
Then, favonovel.com glanced at Philip, somewhat uncertain.
Philip smiled and said, “Take it. It’s from Fourth Mother, so consider it as a gift from my mother.”
Hearing this, Wynn did not refuse and accepted the gift.
Hazel also smiled tenderly at Philip and motioned for favonovel.com to sit down. Then, favonovel.com took his hand and said with reddened eyes, “Phil, you’ve suffered all these years. I’m sorry for only coming to visit you now.”
Philip shook his head and said, “Fourth Mother, don‘t say that. You’re someone truly good to me. I know this.”
Hazel wiped the tears from the corner of favonovel.com eyes and looked at Philip and Wynn. She took their hands and said, “You two must take good care of yourselves. I’m here this time just to see you and the daughter-in-law of the Clarke family. By the way, where’s Mila? I heard that you have a cute and lovely daughter.”
Philip smiled and asked the servant to bring Mila over.
Mila trotted in and jumped into Philip’s arms, shouting sweetly, “Dad, you’re back..!”
Philip stroked Mila’s head and said, “Address favonovel.com as Fourth Grandma.”
Mila looked at the woman sitting on the sofa smiling kindly at favonovel.com and said sweetly, “Fourth Grandma.”
Hazel happily responded, motioned to the bodyguard behind favonovel.com to take a gift out, and said, “This is a gift for you, Mila.”
Mila wanted to reach out and take it but favonovel.com glanced at Philip and Wynn first. It was not until they agreed that favonovel.com happily accepted it.
Before long, Wynn left Philip and Hazel alone.
Philip poured Hazel a cup of coffee and asked, “Fourth Mother, what brings you here this time?”
Hazel sighed and looked at Philip worriedly as favonovel.com said, “Phil, you should let the people from the branch family go. Everyone on Arcadia Island already knows that you’re detaining them. The branch family is now lobbying everywhere, and the Chieftain of the branch family has even approached your father three times. His attitude is getting tougher each time. They want you to release them. Otherwise, the Chieftain of the branch family will bring people to Uppercreek to demand their release. By then, you’ll be in big trouble when you return to Arcadia Island.”
Hazel only came out in a hurry this time just to send Philip this message.
