The sight of her unsettled me again. Nevertheless, it would be bad manners not to greet her still. As a
result, I braced myself and approached her.
“Mrs. Campbell, I'm surprised to see that you're still here. I thought you would have already left,” I
remarked cordially.
“It's been a long while since I last visited. Hence, we have a lot to catch up on. How was shopping?”
Alicia was all smiles the moment she saw me. The tone she used sounded as if she knew me very well.
“Erm, it was hot outside, so we didn't want to stay out for too long and decided to come home instead,”
I simply explained.
Deep down, I was reluctant to interact with her.
“After shopping for the entire morning, I'm feeling exhausted. Mrs. Campbell, please carry on chatting
with Mom. I'll be going upstairs to get some rest.”
Wanting to avoid her intense gaze, I decided not to linger in the living hall. After all, she was here to
see Josephine. At that moment, Michael put his arm around my waist and planned to go upstairs
together with me.
“By the way, Anna, can I invite you to visit my place when you're free?”
Just when I was about to ascend the stairs, Alicia's voice rang out as she looked at me with
anticipation.
Stunned by her sudden invitation, I didn't know how to react. Somehow, I felt something was amiss
when she invited me to her home, but I just couldn't pinpoint what it was.
Under normal circumstances, one would only invite someone over when one liked the person a lot or if
that person was very close.
Considering that we have only met twice and barely talked to each other, her invitation couldn't help but
arouse my suspicion.
“Erm...” I hesitated.
In truth, I was in a dilemma. I really wanted to decline her invitation but was worried about disrespecting
her.
When she sensed my reluctance, Alicia's eyes flashed with disappointment. In spite of that, she
continued to persuade me, “Anna, from the first time I saw you, I was very fond of you. I do hope that
you won't reject my invitation.”
Considering that she was an elder who had invited me over to her home, it would be terribly rude of me
to refuse.
The sight of her unsettled me again. Nevertheless, it would be bad manners not to greet her still. As a
result, I braced myself and approached her.
“All right then. Michael and I will visit you when we have the time,” I replied with an awkward smile.
As nothing of the sort happened before, Josephine knitted her brows, looking puzzled. Evidently, I
wasn't the only one confused about the situation.
“Great. Let's exchange contact numbers. Whenever you decide to come, just give me a call in
advance.”
Alicia was ecstatic upon hearing my agreement. Coming up to my side with her phone, she exchanged
numbers with me.
No one in this world would treat others well for no reason. Therefore, I strongly believed that Alicia had
an agenda. Regardless of what it was, I didn't like it when she treated me as a fool.
After giving her my number, I exchanged further pleasantries before returning to my bedroom.
Lying on my bed, I couldn't help but feel perplexed.
Michael, who was behind me, hugged me from the back.
“Mrs. Campbell is obviously treating you differently. All this while, she has always been reserved and
aloof. Never once did I ever hear her treat anyone so warmly.”
After Michael's voice rang out from behind me, the uneasiness I felt further intensified.
“In that case, why is she being so nice to me? In fact, she seems to be overdoing it. To those not in the
know, they might even think that I'm her daughter,” I replied before letting out a helpless sigh.
“That's a possibility too,” Michael commented thoughtfully. His voice was deep and didn't sound like he
was joking at all.
As my body suddenly froze, my mind just went blank. When I finally regained my senses, I turned
around and gave him a dumbfounded look.
“How is that possible? You have met my parents before. How can Mrs. Campbell be my mom? This
joke isn't even funny at all!” I glared at Michael.
I didn't like it when he cracked such jokes with me.
I didn't mind if his jokes were about anything else, but joking about my parents was off-limits.
Ever since I was young, I was raised in a village. Thus, there was no way I could have such a wealthy
mother.
Michael stared into my eyes for a long while before replying, “Nothing is impossible in this world.”
Even though I felt that he was making strange remarks the entire day, I couldn't really explain why.
