Chapter 1365

Maisie was stunned.

"You're kidding, right?"

Nolan smiled at her and replied, "I know you can’t wait any longer, but I still need to work.So, let’s wait
until we get home, alright?"

Maisie was so exasperated that she was tongue-tied, and her face turned red in embarrassment.

At the Lakeview Apartment...

Lucy had just finished making her dinner when she heard someone knock on the door.

She did not know who it was, so she went to answer the door.She was stunned when she saw Elaine
standing in front of the door with her luggage.

"What on earth is—"

Elaine went into her apartment directly and said, "I need to stay with you for the time being."

Lucy closed the door and looked at her.

"Are you serious? You have a big villa to stay in yet want to squeeze in with me in a small apartment?"

"I have fallen out with my dad," Elaine replied with her arms in front of her chest.

"Even though we’re not blood-related, I’m still your elder sister.Why can't I stay here with you?"

Lucy did not say anything in return.Honestly, she was kind of surprised that Elaine would have fallen
out with her father.



When they were eating, Elaine told her that it was because of the things that happened in the company
that she had a fallout with her father.

She asked, "Are you not going to go back anymore?"

"Nope,"

Elaine replied, "I'll move out from here after I get a new job."

Lucy did not say anything anymore.

Next morning...

Lucy woke up, but Elaine was still sleeping.

She left a key for her and went to work.

Suddenly, her mother called her and asked if she had seen Elaine or not.

Lucy replied, "She’s here with me."

"Lucy, you need to persuade Elaine to come home.She should try to understand her father.He’s doing
everything for her own good—"

"Mom, it isn’t that I don’t want to persuade her.It’s just that nobody can force her to do anything she
doesn’t want to do.Eli knows what she’s doing,"

Lucy interrupted, cutting her mother short.

After listening to what Lucy said, Jenna hung up the phone.

Lucy lowered her head to look at her phone and let out a sigh.



In the eyes of her parents, both Elaine and she were bratty and willful little girls, but they were already
adults.

They had their own thoughts, they could make their own judgments, and they had their own lives.

When the thought surfaced in her mind, she seemed t o be able to understand Elaine a little more.

Elaine just wanted her father to understand and support her decision.

At Morwich’s Maple Lane...

Pearl was flipping through the photobook that recorded the growth of her kid.

A surge of warmth filled her heart when she saw the smile on her kid's face.

Kamala pushed the door open and came inside.

"Pearl."

She lifted her head and closed the photobook.

"What’s wrong, Mom?"

Kamala sat beside her and placed her hand on her back.

"Ever since Tanner came, Noah has been very fond of him.He has been in Morwich for some time, and
I can see that he likes the kid very much.We're old and worried that no one will take care of you two
after we're gone.Besides, Noah is still so young."

"Mom, stop beating around the bush."



Pearl knew that her mother was implying something.It was just that she did not want to hurt her
daughter anymore, s o she did not say it explicitly.

Kamala lowered her head, and her face turned serious.

"I don’t want to do this either.I don’t want you to have any relationship with Tanner, but after seeing the
interaction between Noah and Tanner, I changed my mind.Tanner can take good care of the kid, and
Noah has gotten used to him as his father.If you two split up, Noah will lose his mother or father, which
will be detrimental to his growth."

Most children of single-parent families are rebellious, and only a few will be more mature.

"Noah is only two years old, and kids at his age already have the ability to recognize people.He'll
remember how good Tanner is to him, and once the memories are formed, he won't be able to forget
him easily in the future."
