"I thought it might suit you and help with sleep, so I brought it for you." Monica Usher handed the bag to Mary and instructed, "Remember to give Aunt a packet each night, please."
"Alright, Ms. Usher." Mary looked calm, without giving her an extra glance.
In her opinion, this Ms. Usher was a third party, Mr. Kingston and his wife were happy, they even had a child.
Why is she always trying to interfere here?
Then Monica Usher sat on the sofa with Kristina Kingston.
"Monica, why don’t you stay for lunch?" She held her hand and said mysteriously, "Justin is here too."
The woman smiled, "I know he’s here, there’s a document that needs his signature."
"He’s going to stay here for ten days." The middle-aged woman was delighted, "It’s been such a long time since he’s spent time with me . You should come often too, if you can." Her gaze was full of meanings.
Then, she looked up at the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, Ms. Usher is having lunch here, please bring the menu!"
Monica Usher was inwardly thrilled, yet she appeared modest, "Wouldn’t it be too much trouble?"
"Of course not! We’ll be family sooner or later." Kristina Kingston held her hand and patted it, laughing quietly, "You and Justin haven’t had a get-together for a long time, right? It’s a rare chance, you should seize it."
Monica Usher wanted to get a straight answer and asked, "Aunt, is Mia not here?"
"She didn’t come." Kristina Kingston’s face changed, and her tone turned colder, "I’ve told her she’s not welcome here."
So Mia won’t see Justin for ten days?
Upon hearing this, Monica Usher felt as sweet as if honey had been poured into her heart. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.net
The two chatted for a while downstairs.
Kristina Kingston glanced at the document in her hand and said to her, "You should go upstairs and check on Justin, he’s working upstairs."
"Okay." She gracefully stood up and bowed politely, "Aunt, I’ll go up first then."
Kristina Kingston was eager for them to meet, even more eager for them to be together.
Her son suddenly staying here for ten days might mean he’s had a conflict with that Mia girl, it’s an opportunity.
Her son was here, the children were here, the future daughter-in-law was here, everything seemed perfect.
Kristina Kingston watched the figure ascending the stairs, her lips curled into a smile she hadn’t shown for a while, feeling hopeful about the future.
This was like a perfect family.
In the kitchen, a sumptuous lunch was already being prepared...
Justin didn’t require food; he had Finn Morgan bring the syringe and nutrient solution from the office drawer.
After going upstairs, Monica Usher first saw three bedrooms with nameplates on their doors.
Cora Yates, Justin Kingston, Ian Shelby.
She didn’t know about Ian Shelby and his mentor researching drugs here. With curiosity, she passed by these bedroom doors and arrived at the open medicine research room.
Monica Usher peeked inside.
She saw two young people in sterile clothing and gloves, a man and a woman, busy with equipment, looking quite professional.
Monica Usher didn’t observe for too long because she saw another person.
Why would Justin be working here?
She knocked on the door, and the three inside turned to look at her.
Monica Usher smiled slightly and walked toward Justin with the document bag; her eyes were only on Justin.
And Justin seemed to hesitate, his face calm, not wanting to say an extra word.
Ian Shelby’s gaze fell on Mia Lane’s masked face, unable to see her expression.
He saw her regain her focus quickly and continue with her task, yet, with a bit of distraction...
"CEO Kingston, this document needs your review." Monica Usher stood at the desk, handing over the document with both hands.
This was a legitimate reason to see him.
