Chapter 64

Not long after, an elderly woman with a soft, round figure came out of the house, her face lighting up with a joyful smile.

“Miss Riley, is that you, Lottle?”

Charlotte paused, surprised. “Do you know me?”

The old woman walked up to her, eps clouded with age but glistening with tears. Emotion welled in her voice. “You’ve grown so much. Lean’t believe how tall you

Charlotte’s lips parted, still confused.

Sean stepped in “She’s the one who taught me to cook”

Charlotte tumed to look at him.

He explained gently, “This is Mrs. Wilson. She used to work as a housekeeper for the Sullivans. Your mom learned to cook from her.”

Mrs. Wilson looked at charlotte with tears. joy streaming down her face. “You really are Lottie, You have your mother’s eyes. I used to hold you when you were

The mention of her mother made Charlotte’s throat tighten, her eyes suddenly misty, “Yes, I’m Lottle. I came to see you, Mrs. Wilson.”

Toh, come in, come in.” Mrs. Wilson ushered them into the house warmly. “Hey, Joel Go into town and pick up some groceries. Get the good stuff. I’m cooking for Mr. Jasper and Lottle today”

“On!” the man called back and climbed onto an old scooter.

Mrs. Wilson led Charlotte tride, chatting as they walked. She spoke of old times, sharing stories about Charlotte’s mother, Sar, from when she was young.

Only then did Charlotte leam that Sue hadn’t a always been so good in the kitchen. She had taught herself to cook just to win over Desmond

Her mom, who had once lived a pampered life without ever lifting a finger, had been willing to stand over a hut stove, all for love.

The stories stimed something bittersweet in Charlotte’s heart.

She remembered her parents being deeply in love. Even after her mother passed, Desmond had sunk into depression for a long time.

If he had loved her so much, then why had he remarried only two years later? And to her mother’s best friend, no less?

She had met na York a few times as a child. Xena didn’t live in Jersey City, so their visits were rare, but Charlotte had liked her back then. Xena always brought her pretty dresses and oven littleċkes.

But after Xena married her father, everything changed. Whatever affection Charlotte once had for her vanished overnight.

To be fair, Xena had treated her well she gave Charlotte the best of everything–food, clothes, and education. But no matter what she did, Charlotte simply couldn’t bring herself to like her

She hesitated, then turned to Mrs. Wilson. “Did you know xena York?”

Mrs. Wilson thought for a moment. “You mean the one who was so close to your mother? Yes, I ber her. She used to visit a lot before your mom got married. They were college friends -Very close.”

Charlotte’s expression darkened. “She’s my stepmother now.

Mes. Wilson went quiet, trowning slightly as she recalled something.
