The reason she asked was that she wanted to know whether this girl was really…

Her words caught Baron Stuart by surprise, and he couldn’t help but stop in his tracks and look at Vivian Ferguson.

He knew his mother didn’t like Emily Walker, and he understood that he wouldn’t be able to leave his woman behind and stay at home for dinner.

So her asking him to stay meant that Emily Walker was also invited to stay.

Baron Stuart raised his eyes. After calmly looking at his mother, his thin lips parted slightly, “No need, I think Grandpa doesn’t expect ‘us’ to stay.”

Having said that, without waiting for Vivian Ferguson’s response, he pulled Emily Walker and headed towards the front door.

Watching the couple’s matching figures, Vivian Ferguson felt a strange emotion rising in her heart.

From their silhouettes, they actually seemed quite suited for each other.

Moreover, for the past 28 years, she had never seen her son treating a girl so tenderly and attentively, reminding her of her deceased husband.

Back when they were young, she and Skyler Stuart (Baron Stuart’s father) had shared such moments from acquaintances to friends and then to lovers. Skyler Stuart was exceptionally gentle and caring towards her, but cold and distant to others, like an iceberg.

Seeing this kind of scene, Vivian Ferguson couldn’t help but think of Skyler Stuart, and her eyes grew moist.

When Skyler Stuart died, she was still young. Unable to let go of that unforgettable love, she remains unmarried to this day.

Zachary Stuart felt that she was too young and shouldn’t be alone like this. He had advised her to remarry and that she would still have everything she was entitled to in the Stuart family, and the two children would still be hers.

However, Vivian Ferguson did not follow Zachary Stuart’s advice. In her lifetime, she could never give her heart to any other man except Skyler Stuart. Her only wish was to accompany her two children, and that would be enough for her.

Seeing her mother’s somber expression, Bella Stuart couldn’t help but be puzzled, “Mother?”

Vivian Ferguson raised her head, realizing her loss of composure, as she had barely cried in front of her children over the past decade except when Skyler Stuart had died.

At this glance, Bella Stuart noticed the redness in her mother’s eyes and immediately became flustered, “Mother, what happened?”

Although Bella Stuart was only 18 years old, she remembered seeing her mother cry only once when her father had passed away when she was two or three years old.

Ever since then, she had never seen her mother cry again.

It had been more than ten years, so seeing her mother’s teary eyes suddenly made her feel at a loss, not knowing how to comfort her mother.

Sensing her daughter’s anxiety, Vivian Ferguson held back her tears and forced a smile, “I’m fine, I just thought of your father.”

Father?

Bella Stuart paused, indeed, was it because her mother thought of her father that she became emotional?

“Alright, go and call your grandpa down for dinner!” After speaking, Vivian Ferguson got up and headed towards the kitchen.

As Bella Stuart watched her mother’s retreating figure, she was momentarily dumbstruck before getting up and walking towards the second floor, ready to call Zachary Stuart downstairs.

For more than ten years, her mother must have really missed her father. She recalled one sleepless night when she wanted to sneak into her mother’s room, but instead saw her secretly shedding tears. This made her realize that her mother wasn’t as strong as she appeared on the outside…

Her seemingly strong mother never cried in front of others…
