Departure

[Ellie's P.O.V.]

I couldn't understand why Panse wanted Anton to mark me when the former was still determined to marry his son to Yili. Was this part of his twisted plan to make me suffer for inheriting Aidi's assets? Or was he trying to play some reverse psychology game to make me feel that I wasn't good enough for Anton so I would give up? Did he want me to feel inferior so that Anton could have a chance to marry my sister?

If either of my theories were true, then Panse had gone too far. How could he scheme against his own son? Did he not care about Anton's feelings?

At this moment, Anton had brought Myron back. When my son saw me, he immediately let go of Anton's hand and ran toward me. "Mom!"

Anton looked at his empty hand, then at Myron and me, smiling helplessly.

I quickly reacted and caught Myron, lovingly rubbing his head before introducing him to Yili. "This is Mom's sister. You can call her Aunty."
