“Understood.


    Will you be returning to the Comptons’ residence tonight?”


    Amelie’s countenance hardened.


    “Return to face the cold reception? I shall abstain from returning tonight, keeping a low profile for a few days.


    Wace disapproves of me and will undoubtedly cause trouble upon my return.


    I’ll have my father approach himter to gauge his sentiments.


    ”


    “Yes, Madam.


    ”


    The following morning, Hannah transported Grace to school.


    Subsequently, she drove Dotson to Wealth za, a location referenced by Lydia.


    Upon parking, Hannah and Dotson exited the car.


    Dotson disyed curiosity throughout the area.


    “This domestic mall is different from my expectations.


    ”


    “What did you envision a mall to resemble?” Hannah guiding Dotson inside with a smile.


    “This is the White family’s establishment, constructed by my grandfather.


    Today, feel free to purchase anything and charge it to my ount.


    ”


    Upon hearing this, Dotson’s youthful eyes brightened as he asked, “May I procure gifts for my brother and Kite?”


    Hannah smiled.


    “Absolutely, I’ll cover the expenses today.


    ”This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    “Thank you, Boss.


    ”


    After about half an hour of shopping, Dotson grew weary from carrying numerous items in his hands.


    “Boss, we’ve purchased numerous items.


    Why hasn’t Miss Phillips arrived yet?”


    Hannah checked her watch with a sense of helplessness.


    “She’s consistently tardy.


    Expect her shortly.


    ”


    Her phone rang promptly after she spoke.


    Hannah picked up the call deliberately.


    “Miss Phillips, I feared you might cancel our appointment today.


    ”


    Lydia’s voice, full of ttery, responded from the other end of the line.


    “How could I? I’m stuck in traffic.


    I’ll arrive shortly.


    ”


    “You always use that excuse to fool me.


    ”


    “We’ll wait for you at the coffee shop by the entrance,” Hannah added.


    “Okay.


    I’ll be there shortly.


    ”


    Lydia’s promise to arrive soon was fulfilled, and she didn’t keep Hannah waiting for much longer.


    Five minutester, Lydia entered through the door and said to Hannah, “Let’s go inside.


    ”


    Hannah handed a cup of coffee to Lydia and said, “OK.


    ”


    Observing Dotson next to Hannah, Lydia teased, “Looks like it’s just the two of us shopping, with you bringing a bodyguard along.
