Translator: 549690339
Edward Thompson’s first reaction was happiness.
But then he became worried.
He worried about Sylvia Thompson’s position in the Thompson Family in the future.
After all, if Viola Thompson were to return, Sylvia’s position in the family would be somewhat awkward. Moreover, Sylvia herself was relatively sensitive and inferior with a guilt complex towards Viola. He was afraid Sylvia might become depressed as a result.
At this point, Edward still didn’t know Viola Thompson was Viola Thompson.
He was even more worried about the temperament of his new sister.
After all, Sylvia was kind-hearted.
What if the new sister bullied Sylvia?
Also, they had not seen each other for eighteen years, and he had no feelings for his new sister.
If the new sister had grown up in the countryside, her level of education would be low, and in some mountain areas, it is common for girls marry and have children at a young age.
Edward was worried that when he later arrived at River City, what he would see wouldn’t be his sister but a rural woman with a family in tow.
Edward could not accept such a sister.
If it’s really a rural woman with a family, it would be better not to recognize her.
Not that he was ruthless.
It’s just that social reality is such.
However, he could provide a better material life for his new sister.
In the midst of his entanglement, Edward still came to the airport.
By the time he arrived, the Thompson Family were already there.
Sawyer Thompson slightly frowned, “What took you so long? Do you know that everyone was waiting for you? How come you have no sense of time?”
It was rare for Sawyer to lose his temper, especially in front of the children, and this was the first time.
If it hadn’t been for waiting for Edward, they would have set off earlier, and he could have seen his daughter sooner.
Edward explained, “I’ve been so busy these days! Plus, there was a traffic jam on the way, which caused a delay in time.”
As he spoke, Edward followed Sawyers footsteps, heading into the cabin.
As soon as he walked in, he saw Evan Thompson and Jayden Thompson, as well as his mother and elder brothers…
They were just picking someone up, right?
Wasn’t such a large- scale arrangement necessary? Mobilizing the whole family?
Edward slightly frowned. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn’t show it.
He knew how much his parents loved Viola.
If he complained at this time, it would undoubtedly be like running into the muzzle of a gun.
He looked around and didn’t see Sylvia. Edward frowned slightly, turned to Samuel Thompson, and asked curiously, “Where’s Sylvia?”
“Sylvia didn’t come,” Samuel replied.
“Why didn’t Sylvia come? Did our parents not let her come?” Was it just
because Sylvia was not their biological child?
Edward suddenly felt oppressed. He continued, “Second Brother, Sylvia is our sister too, can’t you be a little nicer to her?”
No one in the family seemed to care about Sylvia’s feelings as they were all immersed in the joy of welcoming their new sister.
Edward now regretted it very much.
He regretted coming to the airport. He should have gone to comfort Sylvia.
Right now, Sylvia must be feeling incredibly lonely and helpless.
Samuel frowned slightly, “No one stopped her from coming. It was her choice to stay and take care of Grandma. Edward, when did you become ?”
It was only then that Edward realized he had misunderstood his parents and Samuel. He asked, “Is it really Sylvia’s choice to stay behind?”
Samuel didn’t bother with him.
Edward immediately caught up with Samuel’s pace, “Second brother, don’t be angry, I was just speaking casually.”
It was normal for the kind-hearted Sylvia to volunteer to stay and take care of Mrs. Thompson.
It would take three hours to fly to River City.
It was now twelve noon.
Sawyer sat next to Mary Perryne, holding her hand and saying, “You didn’t sleep well last night. You should get some rest now. I’ll wake you when we arrive. ”
“l can’t sleep,” Mary said.
She was too excited to be understood by anyone, and how could she sleep at this moment?
Hearing this, Sawyer smiled, “Actually, I can’t sleep either.”
Then he asked, “What do you think our daughter looks like?”
He had never seen Viola.
Mary leaned on his shoulder, “Well, she’s very pretty. When she smiles, she has two dimples just like yours, very fair skin, big and bright eyes that sparkle like little stars when she laughs…”
Just thinking about it, Sawyer was certain that his beloved daughter must be stunningly beautiful.
In Mrs. Thompson’s sickroom.
Elena Williams and Penny Kalafatis were also discussing Viola’s arrival.
Elena sighed, “Our mother is so fortunate that Viola has returned at this time.
Perhaps Mom will recover as well in her happiness..”
