NovelFinishChapter 188 After giving the child scandy, she gently reminded, "Remember to brush your teeth after finishing the candy. Don't eat too much each time, and try to have less at night." The child, savoring the sweetness, beamed with delight and softly promised, "Okay, Mom." With the candy still in her mouth, Mila placed another pack into the storage box. This one was Adrian's favorite flavor.
As the tto leave approached, a wave of sadness washed over her. The troubles back hwere overwhelming, and it seemed impossible for her to return anytsoon. Her plans to fly back frequently to visit Adrian and her mother-in-law were now dashed.
She wondered when she would see them again.
Just earlier, while in the store, she had drifted into a daydream and absentmindedly picked out a large bag of Adrian's favorite sweets. The slight pang in her heart as she paid was hard to ignore.
Her lawyer had repeatedly advised her to avoid meeting with the Montgomery family before the court hearing, to prevent any complications.

As she prepared to start the car and drive away, her hands froze on the steering wheel. Her eyes fixed on a scene ahead, leaving her momentarily speechless.
She saw a familiar black car parked at a distance, and a child leaping out of it. It was Adrian.
Adrian was holding Giselle's hand, excitedly heading towards his favorite candy store, with Lysander trailing a step behind. The twilight bathed them in a gentle, radiant glow.
Mila lowered her gaze, a faint smile tugging at her lips.
She stopped looking in their direction, turned the steering wheel, and drove away, leaving the brilliant sunset far behind.
So be it, she thought.
The next day.
Knowing she had to go to court, Nathaniel arrived early to pick up the child. He couldn't resist asking if she needed a ride.
After she declined, he changed the subject, inviting her to dinner as thanks.
Mila smiled but said nothing.
Once he left, she received a call from Miranda.

If everything goes smoothly, I should be there by noon." "Alright, keep an eye on the tso you don't miss the flight." Miranda continued, "By the way, I haven't fully explained my departure to my parents, not wanting to worry them. This might lead to sserious scolding later!" Mila couldn't help but laugh.
"Not telling them keeps them out of it. It's good we've managedCuntim ve today." "I understand." Miranda acknowledged and then asked quietly, "What about Roland?"
"Don't worry, my villa's smart lock can be operated remotely. Once we're on the plane, I'll unlockxt. There's a phone by the door, so he can contact someone as soon as he gets out. We've done all we can." Mila had meticulously prepared for this day.
