Take Back All She Lost novel Chapter 63

The first is held during the first week of the term, to help parents understand their children’s shortcomings.

The second is at the end of summer, so parents can witness their children’s progress.

Though called an activity, it’s essentially a competition.

There are trophies and rankings to stimulate and cultivate the children’s sense of competition.

Belinda, Wilfred, and Helena walked hand in hand to the registration desk.

In the past, whenever Wilfred appeared in public, he was always dressed in a sharp suit.

Today, in a silver–gray top and white shorts, he looked even taller and more striking.

On his left wrist, he wore a Novo Tech super watch.

He seemed less sharp and imposing, instantly transformed into a handsome young man.

Belinda and Helena wore matching silver–gray starry dresses.

Helena had them custom–tailored overnight.

The tops were designed with a cinched waist, perfectly highlighting their feminine grace and elegance.

Belinda chose the fabric herself; even on a cloudy day, it shimmered brilliantly, as if she were draped in the Milky Way.

They also wore matching super watches on their wrists, which could project images anytime, anywhere.

Belinda projected a photo from her birthday onto the signature wall, pointed at Helena, and said, “This is my mom.”

“Isn’t she beautiful?!”

Most of the parents attending the parent–child event were business elites.

No matter what they really thought, they always maintained appearances.

“Yes, yes, she’s young, beautiful, looks gentle and kind.”

As soon as they turned away, someone started gossiping:

“Josephine is always right‘–I still hear that phrase echoing in my ears. Who would’ve thought that in the end, love would turn to harsh words and mutual destruction, and Josephine would end up leaving like a stray dog, burdened with debt.”

“She brought it on herself. She doesn’t deserve sympathy.”

“Josephine may have had her faults, but her looks and temperament are truly one in a million. Look at the woman in front of us–what does she have besides youth?”

Several people simultaneously scrutinized Helena.

Her clothes and jewelry were dazzling enough, but she lacked presence. It all seemed like a showy facade born of forced composure.

“Mr. Hayden is really mistaking glass for pearls!”

Another commotion broke out at the entrance.

Someone said, “Isn’t that… Mrs. Hayden?”

“Oh my god, she’s really beautiful.”

“Damn, Mr. Hayden is wearing couple’s outfits with another woman, and Mrs. Hayden is entering arm in arm with another man?!”

Everyone’s attention was drawn over.

Josephine had arrived.

Her hair was tied up high, exuding confidence and energy, and she wore a red sports outfit that showed off her waist.

Her skin was fair, her waist slender, her legs long, and she wore makeup–both cool and striking.

The man beside her wore a red–and–black sports outfit.

With five–inch shorts, he was tall and well–built.

The glasses on his nose accentuated his brow bones, and his refined, deep–set eyes revealed a calm maturity honed over many years.

His presence seemed even more commanding than Wilfred, who had long held a position of

power.

Who was this man?

In front of Josephine and the man stood a five–year–old girl.

With a high ponytail and a red sports outfit, she smiled politely, poised and adorable.

“Now this is the right way to do a parent–child event.”

“Mr. Hayden and his current partner are here too. Today is bound to be a dramatic showdown!”

When Wilfred heard the name “Josephine,” his grip on the pen tightened and he instinctively turned his head.

With his height advantage, he looked over the crowd and immediately spotted the familiar figure.

A look of surprise flashed across his face.

Josephine, in sportswear, was this beautiful?

Thinking back, in the six years of marriage, Josephine was either taking care of Belinda or working at the R&D Center of Novo Tech.

She didn’t have good social relations; before she met Patricia, she didn’t have a single confidant.

Whenever she was upset by his parents or under a lot of pressure, she would smoke or go to the boxing gym.

She never asked him for company.

So he had no idea what Josephine looked like in sportswear.

But the matching parent–child outfit Josephine was wearing now, he recognized.

It was the same style as the one Belinda threw away last year

Back then, after Belinda threw it away, the smile at the corner of Josephine’s mouth vanished instantly.

He said, if the child doesn’t like it, then don’t wear it. After all, the child’s happiness comes first.

He never cared whether Josephine was happy or not…

“Fred?”

Helena and Belinda had just been enjoying the attention of the crowd.

But when they saw Josephine arrive, both of their expressions looked as if they’d swallowed a dead fly.

Helena turned her head and found Wilfred staring blankly at Josephine, which made her furious.
