I Was the Stepping Stone novel Chapter 39

Chapter 2

How is it possible?!

In the previous life, I felt sorry for the child I had raised with my own hands, and I was even more worried about her going out alone in such heavy snow, fearing that she might encounter danger.

So she swallowed her bitterness and agreed to bring her parents to spend the winter together, and as a result, besides the couple, their two sons in their twenties, Jayvon, also came.

As soon as that family arrived, the temperature dropped sharply again, making it impossible for anyone to go out.

Before the traffic paralysis, all the security guards in the villa area had each run back home.

So the family from the countryside, relying on their own strength, took control of the power of speech in our house.

My husband Aydan and my little daughter Aleah were forced to go to the cold basement, and we could only go upstairs when they needed us to cook.

Layla cheerfully blended in with them, her gaze towards me cold and merciless. “What’s the matter, Mom? These years I have always come to your house like this, and you will never understand the feeling of being a guest in your own home.”

“Don’t talk sweetly, saying that Aleah and I are both your darlings, it’s not true! I know that all your assets will be left to Aleah, and I’m just like a dog you can play with when you’re bored! Now my biological parents are here, and you can be the dog!”

I was angry and helpless. My husband, Aydan, was a university professor, polite and gentle, not at all their match, which

made Layla so angry that she almost fainted.

When there was plenty of food at home, it was fine, but as soon as the food ran out, the temperature stubbornly showed

no signs of rising.

The family went crazy and killed Aleah and stabbed me, forcing Aydan to go out and search for food.

I watched helplessly as Aydan was held hostage by them, my heart being twisted like a knife, in the snowy field.

In the end, while they were not paying attention, he set a fire and they all perished together.

In this lifetime, I would never again let the wolf into the house. I would protect my family and spend this winter well.

At the moment, Lila had a pained expression on her face, as if someone was about to drain her blood.

I smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Lila. Giving these good things to such a greedy person would be a waste, wouldn’t it?”

Lila, who had a deep hatred for evil, lit up as soon as she heard it.

In the basement, I worked with Lila, carefully opening the packaging of various valuable supplements and taking out what was inside.

Carefully, once again, the empty box was sealed and a pile of packages was brought in front of Layla.

Layla saw this and smiled happily, saying, “Mom, you are so kind. I will thank you on behalf of my parents in the

countryside!”

I smiled slightly and borrowed Layla’s coat from Lila’s hand to put it on her. “Hurry up, go see your mom and dad, it’s getting dark.”

Layla was taken aback, “The countryside is so far, how can I go?”

I imitated her and was taken aback, “Layla, haven’t you figured out how to go yet? Mom saw you packing and thought you had everything planned…”

Layla looked embarrassed and said, “Then let Ezra, the driver, drive the biggest car at home and give me a ride.”

I shook my head and said, “Ezra had something going on at home, so he had just taken a leave.”

Actually, Ezra didn’t take a leave. However, as soon as I came back to life, I gave gifts to all the staff at home, except for

Lila, and then took a break, reminding them to stock up on food.

Listening to me, Layla angrily took out her phone and said, “Why is Ezra so lazy? He doesn’t want to work as soon as the

weather gets cold? How can that be? I have to call him back, I need the car today!”
