Living Room
Adam came down the stairs while looking at his mother with squinting eyes. While mistress Mary behaved as if nothing had happened.
‘’I left first, and sorry for not being able to drive Mom.’’
‘’Nothing. You accompanied me also no use.’’
Lady Mary gives a farewell kiss to her husband and leaves, then pulls Eve out leaving the two men.

Eve had only been quiet ever since in the car. Being in the same seat as the Bookmaster as well as the Grand Madam of the Raymond family made it seem like she had no existence at all. The atmosphere was very awkward, because the two had only been quiet since then, until finally mistress Mary opened her mouth.
‘’I'm sorry for the passing of Miss Laurence.’’
Eve looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief.
Does he know Mom? Um, Eve said inwardly.
‘’Yesterday before the wedding, Mr. Percy came with his second wife and your step-sister. I thought your father was divorced and your mother was dead. But how did Miss Laurence die? I know she's not a sick woman.’’
Eve bit her lower lip and took a breath.
‘’I don't know either, Big Mistress. At that time, I wanted to have a party. So, me and dad went out to buy materials. Then, on returning home, we were both shocked by the lifeless body of the mother with blood.’’
No matter how hard she held back her tears, but her tears still fell. Eve wiped it and lowered her head.
‘’I'm sorry. Big Mistress so look at this embarrassing thing.’’
Lady Mary clasped her daughter-in-law's hand with a smile. ‘’Don't call me Big Mistress. You can call me Mother.’’
The words thrown by her in-laws made her unable to stem her tears. He hugged the woman and let out his cry.
Mistress Mary looked at her pity, and returned her embrace while stroking Eve's hair.
A few minutes later after Eve let out her cries, she thanked Mary for giving her back.

Eve accompanied her in-laws to the lobby. He was still grateful after the incident a few minutes ago in the car. It was like a mother figure to him. He did not expect to have in-laws as good as Raymond's. I feel so grateful to be the daughter-in-law of that family.
Before Mary got on the plane, she approached Eve, removed the bracelet in her hand, and put it in her daughter-in-law's hand.
‘’E-Eh? Why did the Big Madam give me your bracelet?’’
‘’Ush, I told you not to call me Big Lady, but Mother!’’
‘’I-Mother, why give it to me? This is definitely a precious bracelet.’’
Mistress Mary smiled. ‘’Just because the bracelet is valuable, I gave it to you. You've been Raymond's son-in-law, so now the owner of the bracelet is you. Take good care, yes?’’
Eve nodded to make sure that she would keep the bracelet even her life was a bet. That made Mary even more fond of him.
‘’Then I go first. Please take care of Adam!’’
Not yet able to, mistress Mary entered the plane, the woman came back to Eve to hug him. Eve was wide-eyed for a moment until she returned the hug.
‘’Oh yes, don't give me a grandson for long. If you can, do it tonight too.’’
Eve's face was as red as a tomato hearing her in-laws whisper. Mistress Mary pulled her embrace and left.
‘’I'll charge you if you haven't already!’’
Eve just looked down embarrassed, her in-laws talking about it like a normal topic. His gaze led to the bracelet that had just been given to him. Very elegant golden dragon head arrowhead. Engraved a smile for a moment, before finally the smile faded as he held onto his stomach. Recalling her in-laws' remarks asking for grandchildren, reminded her of the incident at the hotel.
......................
Two young men entered the office. All employees congratulated their recently married superiors. Adam slightly nodded back at the words of his employees.
......................
The CEO's private room
‘’All the documents I signed, then what important business makes me have to go to the office again? I still have a schedule to visit Chrysos Academy.’’
Secretary Rey handed over a document to get Adam to read it. A solicitation from a company that also has an academy like his family.
‘’The Big Lady recommends an academy under the auspices of the Raymond family company, with an equally famous culinary academy in Japan to work together to conduct student exchanges.’’
Adam sighed after reading all those documents. He stared at the document while looking at which company he would work with.
Kamiya Group's? The company also has several restaurants scattered around the world. It has a culinary academy that often holds regimental duels. On average, alumni who graduate there are equivalent to 5-star chefs, making all chefs from all corners of the world come there. If not wrong, the CEO has also recently been replaced and is 3 years older than me.
‘’So when will they come?’’
‘’Their plane has just arrived, so maybe soon they will arrive Young Master.’’
The deg!
Adam looked at the subordinate with a shocked look once again. Why did they arrive so soon. Secretary Rey explained, they should have arrived at the same time as the Grand Madam took the flight home. But because there was an affair, they bought time and just took a flight yesterday.
‘’Why didn't Mom tell me when she came home yesterday? Haa, that food maniac woman did deliberately trouble me like this.’’

Private Aircraft
‘’Hatchi!’’
‘’His wife is Big? Are you doing okay? Did I just turn off the ac?’’ asked the flight attendant with an anxious look approaching her.
Lady Mary stared at the special air conditioner attached to her private plane.1 second later, she looked back at the flight attendant with a smile. ‘’No need, I'm fine.’’
‘’Good. If Big Madam needs something, please call me.’’
The woman frowned after the flight attendant had left.
The temperature is still 16 as usual, then why do I sneeze? Let no one speak of me, Mary said in her heart.

Eve looked out the window calmly.
Dad must be working. I intend to visit the house but I have little doubt about meeting with my mother and Cordelia. The incident at the hotel must not have been Cordelia. I'm pretty sure Christa's mom would be involved, too. Why do they not like me? Haa, she lamented in her heart.
The private driver who saw her wanted to cry, immediately asked her to speak.
‘’Nona Young is fine?’’
Eve was wide-eyed and looked at the driver in front while opening her eyes repeatedly.
‘’Ah no, I'm fine.’’
‘’But, Young Miss looks very sad. Is there something bothering Young Miss? Should I tell Young Master?’’
Once again Eve shook her head, maintaining her calm countenance and gentle smile.
‘’No need. I'm really okay, just miss my family.’’
