"Alright." Solemnly, Lomen nodded before he took his leave.

After he left, Trevor could no longer sit still.

He paced around the room a few times before he walked out and headed towards Ink Garden.

Meroy was reading the newspaper for Vivian Delia, who had her eyes closed as though she was about to fall asleep.

Upon the doorbell's soft ringing, Meroy rushed to get it.

Trevor was at the door.

"Mr. Richards, you're here," she greeted him with a smile.

Trevor nodded his head. With an anxious look on his face, he asked softly and cautiously, "Has Old Madam woken up yet?"

"Yes." Meroy smiled and replied, "Mr. Richards, please come in. Old Madam has already reminded me to let you in whenever you drop by."

Trevor nodded. He walked to the bedroom, took his shoes off, and entered the room, padding on the woolly carpet.

"Mom, how are you feeling?" Trevor walked in and bent down as he asked Vivian.

"Trevor, here you are." Vivian opened her eyes. There was a hint of a benign smile in them. "Have a seat."

"Okay, Mom." Trevor sat across from her, smiling faintly.

"Where's Hansen? Why haven't I seen him?" Vivian asked the moment he sat down. It seemed that she had not seen Hansen for a long time. Now that age was catching up to her, her affection for the family was growing increasingly strong.

Trevor caught the loneliness in her eyes. He answered in a hurry, "Mom, Hansen is on a business trip."

"Oh, I see. It's no wonder I haven't seen him in a long time," Vivian said, looking distracted.

"Mom, I've got some good news for you." Trevor could not bear to look at Vivian being distraught. The matter she was most anxious about was Hansen's marriage. He was almost 30 years old, but not only was he without his own family, all he did was to immerse himself in work. Where he was concerned, Vivian would always be worried.

"What good news?" Vivian narrowed her eyes. To her, whichever project had succeeded or however much money was earned, they were not considered as good news. Such things could not last long if they were not maintained well. They would only be temporary benefits. The most important thing was still having a growing family. The feeling grew more apparent after Norton had been expelled from Richards Manor.

Richards Manor at the moment was somewhat deserted. The 20 million dollars spent on the feast had only yielded a boisterous event for a day or two. After that, Jenna and Sabrina had left the manor, one after another. The manor then became colder and colder each day. As an old woman, she could feel the desolation creeping from the depths of her bones.

"Mom, this, no doubt, is a good news. You'll definitely be happy." Trevor took out his phone, chuckling.

Vivian smiled evasively.

"Mom, you now have a great-grandson. Hansen has a son," Trevor said excitedly, pitching his voice.

Vivian widened her eyes, as if she had not heard it clearly. She stared at Trevor, dumbstruck.

"Mother, you now have a great-grandson. You've become a great-grandmother. Hansen has a son." Trevor knew she was incredulous. Hence, he repeated it loudly again.

"What did you say? Hansen has a son, and I'm now a great-grandmother?" Though she heard it clearly, she still could not believe her ears. Her face began to glow. Her eyes were glistening, awaiting for Trevor's answer expectantly.

"That's right, Mom. Look, this right here, is your great-grandson." Trevor nodded with certainty. In order to convince her, he handed his phone to her and helped her put on her reading glasses.

As soon as the phone was placed before Vivian's eyes, she pried her eyes wide open. She took the phone with trembling hands and inspected the image on the screen. The little boy was adorable and very striking. As she raked her eyes over the screen, a big smile blossomed on her face, but tears welled up in her eyes.

"My God." She said excitedly, "What a cute boy. He has a shrewd face. I can tell he is a promising fellow at first glance. Look at how his eyes and nose are the same as Hansen's."

As she spoke, her gaze was fixed on the photo. She was beaming.

"This really is some good news." Her hand stroked the little fellow's face. Her smile was so generous that her eyes narrowed, and a stream of tears flowed down her face.

"Mom, this is a good thing. Haven't you always been looking forward to having a great-grandson?" Trevor handed her a piece of tissue and comforted her.

"Yes, yes, it is a good thing. This is all Jenna's contribution." Vivian accepted the tissue and wiped her tears away. She said in a trembling voice, "Does this mean that Hansen has found Jenna?"

Trevor sighed inwardly at that question. As expected, she knew everything. He too, didn't hide, and said truthfully, "Yes, Mom. Hansen has found Jenna, and has also seen his son."

"That's good, that's good," Vivian said continuously.

"But..." Trevor could not continue. He didn't know how to lay it out to her. If he told her that Jenna was not willing to come back to Richards Manor with her great-grandson, would it be too big of a blow for her? After all, they wanted their family to reunite and to see their grandson.

"But what?" Vivian raised her head to look at him. Her eyes were teary yet fierce.

Trevor looked distressed. He pondered, not saying anything.

"To make this easy for you, it must be that Jenna is not willing to come back with Hansen. You can't hide this from me." Vivian sighed. Her voice turned cold as she said loudly.

"I really can't hide it from her!" Trevor thought to himself.

After being stunned for a moment, he smiled bitterly.

"Mom, this is what I wanted to talk to you about. Now, Hansen is being held up in Wullen Town because of Jenna, but the situation is not optimistic. This year's investment situation is rather pressing, and the competition is getting wilder. We need Hansen to return to the company, and wholeheartedly at that. He cannot be held up in his relationships for too long." Trevor gave it some thought before stating it seriously.

"Does that mean you want Hansen to come back?" Vivian took off her glasses and stared at Trevor.

Trevor did not expect her to ask such a question. He was taken aback, as he looked at her, not knowing what she meant.

"Let me tell you. Hansen's personal matters are our highest priority. If the personal matters are not handled well, the business is useless and empty, no matter how good it is. In the past few years, he had forced himself to get so many things done, but the knot in his heart has never been unraveled. Now that he has encountered it, he must drop everything, no matter how huge the business is. If he wants to solve the problem, he has to think hard and to analyze the situation. Why is she refusing to return home when she has one? A woman would rather wander around alone with her child than go home. This shows that something is wrong. Don't always put our family's business first. We have to put ourselves in other people's shoes," Vivian said in one go.

Nodding his head repeatedly, Trevor replied, "Mom, truer words have never been spoken. You've voiced my thoughts. Look, aren't I here, discussing this with you? I'm only a man after all. Women's hearts have always been a mystery to me.

Vivian let out a sigh, and looked at the little guy's tender face on the phone. She reluctantly returned it back to Trevor before saying, "In this world, there will never be love, nor hatred, without any reason. Everything has its own reason."

Trevor took the phone and listened carefully. He nodded and said, "You're right. Jenna is a sensible person. I think she will agree to come home with the child. After all, Hansen has already given her a reason to return. Even if she really had any doubts, she will agree for the sake of the child. The child needs a complete family. I'm only afraid that things will be hard when it comes to Sara." "Yes. By right, that's how it should be. Which woman in this world would not want their child to have a happy home?" Vivian nodded in agreement, but she changed the subject in a flash and said in a serious tone, "Sara has her reasons why she's not willing to let her daughter come back with Hansen. It's also forgivable. Look, after what happened, which mother would be willing to let their daughter take the risk once more and stake their happiness in it? You have to understand that with the way Jenna had been treated in the Richards family, never mind Sara, every single mother would not agree with their daughter marrying into this family again. Have you thought about this?"

Trevor was deep in thought. She had clearly pointed out the crux of the problem.

"Are you saying that Sara is worried Marissa will treat her daughter badly in the future?" Trevor asked suddenly.

"Whether it's good or bad, it depends on the later performance. Plus, the difficult relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a tale as old as time. Even if it's bad, there's nothing to say about it. Like now, isn't the relationship between me and Marissa still just as subtle? Still, our family has been prosperous, and it's flourishing steadily. This isn't the main reason, but one of the factors. Think about it, if a mother lets her daughter marry the man who has already divorced her once, a man who hadn't been a good man to her daughter in the past, can she rest assured?" Vivian continued.

Even as Trevor listened, he still did not quite understand. Women's minds were really complicated.

"Trevor, even if Sara persists, she is still only a mother. Plus, she is not an unreasonable person. It is normal for women to be so thoughtful when it comes to their own daughter's happiness. Now the most important part is whether we can show enough sincerity to prove to her that her daughter will live a happy life when she returns to the Richards family. Right now, let me ask you. Do you really welcome Jenna and her son back?"

"Of course." Upon hearing the question, Trevor said seriously, "She's smart, virtuous, and talented. She's a good wife. She even blessed our family with such a cute grandson. Why wouldn't I welcome her home? Besides, I'm indebted to her."
