Chapter 45

As Evelyn arrived at her father's house, she stood outside for a while, nostalgia enveloping her. It had been six

years since she had left this house, and now, standing there, a wave of emotion washed over her

Memories of her tliving there, the happy

uppy moments with her father and stepmother, surged through her mind. However, Sandra's presence in

those memories dampened the warmth.

That sly bitch! She cursed inwardly, knowing she was going to see her there.

Taking a deep breath, Evelyn reminded herself to stay as far away from Sandra as possible. She couldn't afford to

lose her cool, especially since she was already in a bad mood.

She stepped inside the living room, the familiar scent of hgreeting her instantly. Even with the decorations

hanging around the house, she could still see that the house hadn't changed much, and a pang of sadness mixed

with comfort filled her.

She could hear the music coming from the backyard where guests who had arrived for the anniversary party

were already flocking around.

She took a deep breath as she made her way to the backyard, and the moment she got there, the first person

her eyes landed on was

Sandra.

Thankfully, Sandra was engrossed in a conversation with someone so she averted her gaze quickly only for her

eyes to meet her father who seemed to have seen her the moment she walked in.

They both locked gazes, but neither of them made any move to approach the other since they were still mad at

each other and waiting for who to apologize first. Claire who had been talking to her husband but noticed he was

no longer listening to her, followed his gaze and her face split in a smile when she saw Evelyn. "She made it,"

Claire said happily and Eric scoffed.

"As what? A guest? She doesn't even have regard for her parents enough to csay hello," Eric muttered with

displeasure as he looked away from Evelyn. Without a second thought, Claire ignored her husband and walked

over to Evelyn to welcher. I'm glad you made it!" Claire said as she hugged Evelyn "Isn't that your sister?"

Sandra's companion asked, and she turned in tto see her mom and Evelyn embracing.

Sandra's brows pulled together when she observed how they both seemed happy to see each other, unlike the

way Evelyn had treated her so coldly. "Happy Anniversary, Mom," Evelyn said as she hugged Claire back, a

genuine smile playing on her lips.

"Thank you, darling. Why haven't you cto say hello to your father? And what is that about Derek Stone? Did

you release that news?" Claire asked with a frown. While they were still talking. Sandra observed them with a

frown. Something about their body language gave her a feeling that this wasn't a six-year-long reunion.

Was there something she was missing! Had Evelyn seen her mom since she cback? But if so, how? And why

didn't her mother mention it? Sandra mused as she decided to go join them, but when she saw them heading

towards her father, she headed there instead.

She got there in tto hear Evelyn congratulating their father. "Hello, Dad. Congratulations on your anniversary
