Seeing a car suddenly stop at the yard gate, Thomas Fisher and Evelyn Taylor instinctively turned to face the gate, looking confusedly at the car that had stopped unexpectedly.
Under their puzzled gazes, Fabian Holmes and Amelia Linton got out of the car.
Seeing it was them, Evelyn Taylor quickly ran over. While running towards them, she shouted, "Mom Holmes!"
Wearing high heels, she was very restricted while running. Not only could she not run fast, but her feet also felt uncomfortable.
Hearing Evelyn Taylor’s shout, Amelia Linton, who was about to walk into the yard, instinctively stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and looked over at the sound. At that moment, Evelyn had also run up to her.
"Did you just arrive too?"
Seeing Evelyn Taylor running over from the side, Amelia Linton thought Evelyn was like her, just arriving. While speaking, she instinctively turned her head to look around, but she didn’t see Aiden Taylor and Harriet White.
As she was about to withdraw her gaze, she suddenly saw Thomas Fisher walking towards them, and she stopped her actions.
"Aunt Amelia! Uncle Holmes!"
Seeing Amelia Linton had noticed him, Thomas Fisher quickly took two steps forward, greeting them, not forgetting to also greet Fabian Holmes beside him.
"Thomas!"
Seeing Thomas Fisher walk over, Amelia Linton called out his name. It was then she belatedly realized, "Did you two arrive early?"
If she hadn’t judged it wrong, the two of them were standing next to each other chatting just now, and only came over when they saw her get off the car.
"Thomas might have come earlier; I just arrived not long ago," Evelyn Taylor replied for both herself and Thomas. Her parents and brother had left early in the morning to help here. She harbored resentment, waiting until long after they left before she left home to come here.
Amelia Linton said nothing more, pointed towards the house, and said, "Since you’re here, I’ll head in."
With that, she turned and walked towards the yard gate.
"Mom Holmes! I’ll go in with you."
Evelyn Taylor now seemed like a different person. She had just seemed sad and resentful, but now suddenly appeared happy, as if she were another person.
She quickly caught up, affectionately linking her arm with Amelia Linton’s.
The sudden action unintentionally touched Amelia Linton’s wound, causing her to frown in pain, "Evelyn! Let’s walk separately."
She lifted her other hand to prying off Evelyn’s hand from her arm.
Evelyn Taylor didn’t know there was a wound on Amelia Linton’s arm. Seeing Amelia frown uncomfortably and then abruptly pull her hand away.
She thought that perhaps Amelia Linton didn’t like her now either, and her heart sank instantly, though outwardly she kept her happy demeanor, "Mom Holmes! I want to walk with you."
She reached out once more to link arms with Amelia, but Amelia avoided her this time before she could reach out.
"It’s only a few steps to the house, we should walk separately," Amelia Linton said, worried Evelyn might suddenly cling to her. She moved to Fabian Holmes’ other side to place him between her and Evelyn, making her feel more comfortable.
Amelia Linton’s deliberate avoidance extinguished the hope that had just ignited in Evelyn’s heart, a situation she found hard to accept.
"Mom Holmes!"
Evelyn Taylor wanted to go around and walk with Amelia, but as she took a step, a hand caught her. Looking up along the hand, she saw Fabian Holmes.
