CHAPTER 42
“We just did a simple setup of the room, without repainting or renovating. You just had the babies, and we didn’t want to risk any fumes from renovations harming your health,” Patrick said, his voice filled with love.
Rebecca’s eyes welled up with tears. She quickly nodded, turned around, and hugged her father. “Thank you,
Dad.”
Patrick was equally moved. He opened his arms and embraced his precious daughter.
“Your mom came up with the design. She drew the plans, and I bought everything according to her specifications.
and set it up,” Patrick explained.
It turned out her parents had arranged everything together. Rebecca felt so happy and loved.
She wiped away her tears and looked at her mom. “Thank you, Mom.”
Debra nodded repeatedly, her eyes still moist. Even though she was happy, she couldn’t help but get emotional seeing her daughter’s tears.
They had arrived too late, making their daughter endure so much suffering. But fortunately, they would never let
her suffer again.
Charlie watched them hugging each other, feeling a bit envious but also happy for them.
His stomach growled loudly, and he quickly said, “Alright, everyone, stop crying. Let’s go eat. We haven’t had anything since last night. I’m starving!”
Patrick snapped out of it and eagerly nodded. “You’re right! Let’s go!”
His face broke into a wide grin.
Debra was also overjoyed. She took Becky’s hand, and the whole family went downstairs together.
After Rebecca finished her meal, her phone rang. It was her adoptive father, Gary.
She stared at the phone for a while before finally answering.
“Rebecca? Are you listening?” Gary’s authoritative voice came through the phone.
At the table, Patrick, Debra, and Charlie‘ all remained silent, watching Rebecca and her phone.
Rebecca took a deep breath before responding, “It’s me. What’s up?”
“Come home when you are free today. We have some things to discuss,” Gary simply said.

Rebecca’s heart sank. She’d lost all faith in the Mitchells. “Can’t we just talk over the phone?”
“Don’t be stubborn, Rebecca. We raised you for twenty years. Just get your butt home. What’s the big deal?” Karen’s angry, harsh voice suddenly came from the phone.
She commanded, “You’ve got one hour. Get here now!”
Rebecca was taken aback for a moment, and she smiled. Before Karen could hang up, she ended the call herself.
Patrick, Debra, and Charlie all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her hang up on the Mitchells. Their faces break into wide grins.
“You did the right thing, Becky. Ignore those shameless people. If they want to act like a jerk, just let them bark. Our Carter girls are no pushovers!” Debra chuckled.
Rebecca felt her mood lifting at her mother’s words. She smiled and nodded. “Yeah, you’re right.“”
Debra looked at her daughter’s smile and marveled once again at how beautiful her precious girl was.
Her precious girl deserved to be dressed to the nines, turning heads and making everyone jealous!
“Hey, how about we go shopping later? Know any good malls around Maeloria? Let’s find you some gorgeous outfits!” Debra said happily, her mind already wandering to their shopping trip.
Patrick glanced at his wife. He smiled and took out two golden cards, handing one to Debra and the other to
Rebecca.
“What’s this, honey?” Debra asked, taking the card from her husband.
Rebecca’s jaw dropped when she spotted the red logo on the gold card. “Wait, is this a VIP card for Glamour
Closet?”
Patrick nodded with a smile. “Yes, I thought about it a couple of days ago. Figured you two would be hitting the shops after your show, so I told someone to get them for you guys.”
He gestured to the cards. “You can grab any of the latest gear from Glamour Closet, on the house!”
Rebecca quickly frowned in confusion, “But…the VIP cards for Glamour Closet are black. Why are these gold?”
Patrick chuckled smugly, “Oh, this isn’t just any VIP card. This is a super VIP card. There are only three in the world. One’s with the owner of Glamour Closet, and the other two? Well, you’re holding them. You can snag anything from Glamour Closet with this, even the newest stuff, all for free. If they even think about charging you, just tell
them to call the owner!”
Charlie grumbled beside him, “Hey, why are there only two of these super VIP cards? What, I’m not good enough?”
Patrick glanced at his younger son and scoffed, “You want one? Keep dreaming!”
He had only these two cards, and it had taken a lot of effort to “scheme” it from the owner of Glamour Closet. There were no more to spare.
Charlie pouted, “Come on, Dad!”
Rebecca looked at Charlie, amused. “You can have mine if you want it, Charlie.”
While Glamour Closet’s clothes were nice, she didn’t particularly crave them.
Charlie’s face lit up at her words. He touched the gold card and then shoved it back into Rebecca’s hand, giggling. “Nah, I’m just messing with you. Besides, Glamour Closet only has women’s clothes. No thanks!”
Rebecca couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
After finishing breakfast, they rested for a while before heading out for some shopping.
Karen seemed to really enjoy shopping. Her eyes lit up at the thought of hitting the stores, and Rebecca loved
seeing her so happy. Rebecca felt quite enjoyable on these shopping trips with her mom.
Patrick didn’t join them because he had some work to handle online.
While they were out having fun, Karen was stunned after realizing she had been hung up on. She stared at her
phone in disbelief, then exploded.
That little brat Rebecca had the nerve to hang up on her!
She was infuriated, thinking that Rebecca believed marrying into the Edwards family gave her the right to disregard them.
Janet looked displeased and said in a stern voice, “I told you, she wouldn’t listen to us.”
“What should we do? Now everyone knows you’re pregnant and had a child with Theodore. If… people find out Theodore isn’t divorced yet, you’re done!” Karen said anxiously.
“He will get a divorce,” Janet said firmly.
Karen and Gary were both stunned, staring blankly at their daughter.
