Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 506

At Vista Town International Airport, Edith stepped out in her striking red heels, making her way confidently towards the waiting Rolls-Royce. As she bent to get in, her dress fluttered slightly, revealing her slender, pale legs for a fleeting moment.

Herbert Taylor's gaze darkened with memories of just two days ago, how those legs were wrapped around his waist in a passionate embrace. Leaving the freeway behind, they headed straight for the downtown area, with Edith humming a tune, seemingly in a good mood.

Suddenly, Herbert answered a call, his voice laced with seriousness and a hint of excitement, "Are you sure about that? Alright, send me her address on Messenger."

Edith glanced at him curiously, "That excited? Did your uncle finally kick the bucket?"

Herbert's uncle was notorious for his schemes and even kidnapped their son, Ike, once. Edith couldn't hide her disdain for the man, especially when she remembered Ike's injuries.

Herbert's expression softened slightly, "Aaron found out my sister has settled in Vista Town. I'm planning to drop by."

"Your sister?" Edith was confused for a moment before realization hit her, "The one who cut ties with the Taylor family years ago and whom you never talk about?"

Even within the family, her name was rarely mentioned, shrouded in a sort of respectful silence.

Herbert simply nodded.

Upon reaching Cloud Villas, Edith chose to wait in the car to avoid any awkwardness. For the first time, she saw hesitation on Herbert's face.

"If you don't want to wait, the driver can take you home," Herbert offered, his voice unusually gentle.

Edith quickly agreed.

Later that evening, as we were about to start dinner, the doorbell rang. It was Edith.

Ike rushed into his mother's arms, and after their heartfelt reunion, I invited Edith to join us for dinner.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Gregory teased her, "Had enough fun?"

"What fun? I haven't even started with you yet," she retorted, hinting at some advice Gregory gave Herbert that ended up with Herbert bringing her back.

Gregory raised an eyebrow, "I only suggested he clear up those rumors."

"We're divorced. Why would I care about his explanations?"

"Did you listen anyway?"

Edith shot him a look, "You're impossible."

"Anyway, that mysterious member of the Taylor family is back in Vista Town," she changed the subject, diving into her meal with gusto. Gregory, feigning indifference, passed me a piece of fried chicken, "Which mysterious member?"

"Herbert's big sister!" Edith revealed with a mix of shock and excitement.

According to Edith, Herbert's reaction to his sister's return was unlike anything she'd seen before. He seemed genuinely intimidated by her. "And guess what? She gave him the cold shoulder. Didn't even let him in the door!" Edith couldn't hide her amusement.

Gregory frowned, "Someone dared to do that to him?"

"In Vista Town, Herbert's influence is unmatched," I mused.

"But yeah," Edith confirmed, sipping her juice, "I always heard rumors about how she left the family ima huff and must be strut she's living in luxury at Cloud Villas."

"Cloud Villas?" I interrupted, suddenly intrigued.

"That's where Bella lives, right? The entertainment mogul connected to our son... his aunt?"

The realization hit us all. The

entertainment industry's

powerhouse, Bella, was part of our

extended family, adding a layer of

intrigue and connection we hadn't anticipated.

"Wait, Bella and Herbert... both have the Taylor surname."

The revelation left us all pondering; the intertwining destinies of our families, especially as I remembered the jade pendant inscribed with the name "Taylor."
