Reborn as the Baby Sister Everyone Spoiled—and the One He Loved
After confirming that Maya was all right, Rebecca hurriedly went to Elaine's room. "Are you annoying or what?" Hearing the knock on the door, Elaine thought it was Jay again and stared coldly at it. "Elaine, it's me," Rebecca said. Elaine quickly went to open the door, her previous impatience having disappeared completely. A faint smile appeared at the corners of her lips. "Hi, Mom." She gently wrapped her arms around Rebecca's arm. Her demeanor was completely different from the coldness she showed when facing Jay. "What's wrong? Who are you angry with?" Rebecca affectionately reached out to pat her head. The affection was evident in her every gesture. "No, nothing," Elaine said with a smile, shaking her head. Mother and daughter looked very alike, both being great beauties. Standing together, they were a sight to behold. They took their seats in the sofa area. Rebecca held her hand and asked, "Elaine, tell me, are you really going to break off the engagement with Terry?" Elaine nodded. "Yes, I am." Rebecca, feeling distressed, asked, "Is it because Grandma favors Alora that you want to break off the engagement?"Elaine shook her head. "Mom, do I look like someone who would give up on a goal just because others try to hinder me?" Rebecca ruffled her long hair and asked, "Then what is the reason?" Elaine had waist-length hair that was thick and black. Her hair was so healthy and beautiful that it could be featured in a shampoo commercial. Touching it with her hand, it was smooth and silky. Rebecca couldn't help but stroke it a bit more. " ... " Elaine lowered her lashes, lost in thought and silent. Rebecca didn't rush her. Instead, she watched her quietly. Elaine's features were extraordinarily delicate and beautiful. She had a classical, oval face with captivating eyes, perfectly blending pure and alluring qualities. Once, Rebecca had regretted that Alora did not inherit the outstanding looks of herself and Leon. After seeing Elaine, she was relieved. Her daughter was even more beautiful than she had been at her peak. Elaine lifted her gaze, her eyes calm and untroubled. "Mom, I no longer like Terry, so I want to break off the engagement." Elaine thought for a long time and finally came up with a reason. A reason that could convince Rebecca. "You don't like Terry anymore?" Rebecca was a bit surprised. "How did you suddenly stop liking him?"Just a few days ago, didn't she say she would marry no one but Terry? Elaine said seriously, "Because I met someone even better. In comparison, I realized Terry is average, so I no longer like him." Rebecca was puzzled. "Huh?" Elaine leaned into Rebecca's embrace, feigning shyness, and said, "Oh, Mom, I've fallen for someone else." Rebecca was stunned. Elaine said, "So, I don't want to marry Terry anymore. Mom, can you and Dad help me break off the engagement?" Rebecca still found it somewhat hard to believe. She confirmed once more, "Elaine, are you serious? It's because you've met someone better, not because you're just rebelling against Grandma and Alora, that you want to break off the engagement?"Elaine shook her head and said, "Mom, I really, truly no longer like Terry." Seeing Elaine's serious expression, Rebecca finally believed it to some extent. Rebecca asked with curiosity, "So, Elaine, which man have you taken a liking to? I'll have your dad go and ... " "No." Elaine interrupted Rebecca, "Mom, it's just my one-sided affection, and there's nothing set in stone yet. Don't worry about it. Just help me break off the engagement with Terry."
