The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Toast, Mom’s Flavor

Delilah Woods casually browsed through online comments, but suddenly, her phone seemed to lag for a moment, the page directly crashed, and then the screen went black.

"What’s going on? Is it broken?"

Delilah mumbled, tapping the screen with her fingers and trying to restart the device.

She didn’t notice that while she was fiddling with her phone, the front camera seemed to flicker with a dim glow.

The little ghost child hid behind the web, eagerly watching the girl in the phone’s camera.

This is... its mother.

Its past obsession had dissipated with resentful energy, and the ghost child no longer harbored an attachment towards Delilah, yet it still remembered her scent.

A strange feeling enveloped it, and the ghost child attempted to open its mouth, imitating Scarlett and the others, uttering a sound like a kitten,

"Ma... ma."

The soft, slightly dry voice echoed in the empty cyberspace.

Delilah, fiddling with the phone, froze, seemingly hearing something.

But before she could listen closely, the oven suddenly emitted a ding, signaling that the bread was done baking.

Unable to continue fiddling, she set the phone aside, stood up, donned the oven mitts, and turned to the oven.

The little ghost child couldn’t see its mother, cautiously poking its head out from the phone.

It saw Delilah with her back turned, opening the oven.

Instantly, the aroma of bread filled the room.

The ghost child’s eyes brightened slightly, watching its mother enveloped in the bread’s scent, and secretly noted down—

Baking bread, mommy’s scent.

It longingly looked at its mother’s back and called out again,

"Ma-ma."

I am leaving.

It remembered, mommy didn’t want it.

It can’t go looking for mommy anymore.

The ghost child quickly retreated back into the phone, swiftly returning to Scarlett Jennings’ side.

Unawares, when it cried out "mommy," Delilah, who had been about to pull out the baking sheet, suddenly stiffened.

Forgetting the bread in the oven, she turned sharply, looking around.

But there was nothing in the bakery that could be seen at a glance.

Delilah’s eyes gradually reddened.

Soon, she slowly crouched down on the ground, unable to hold back the flow of tears.

Although she couldn’t see anything.

But she knew the child had returned.

It had just called her "mommy."

Delilah crouched there, hugging her knees, sobbing uncontrollably,

"I’m sorry... sob sob... mommy is sorry to you... sob sob..."

...

Meanwhile, Scarlett Jennings waited a while without seeing the ghost child return, worried whether it got lost.

Just about to send it another signal, she saw the ghost child slowly poke out from the phone.

Not sure if it was Scarlett’s illusion, it seemed... to have grown a bit?

Plus, compared to its former appearance like a ginseng doll, the ghost child’s features were finally somewhat human-like.

Before Scarlett could ponder further, she saw the ghost child kick its little chubby legs, happily drifting towards her, softly calling her,

"Scar-lett!"

Scarlett Jennings: ...

Great, not only has it grown, but it can speak now!

Scarlett Jennings even wondered whether it secretly consumed some internet data, which made it grow all at once.

Although she hadn’t heard of shadow spirits eating such things, but who knows?

The ghost child was already a rather special existence.

Perhaps seeing that Scarlett didn’t respond, the ghost child floated in front of her, uttered the sound again,
