Return, My Love: Wooing the Neglected Ex-Wife

Chapter 779:

Molly Miller became the chosen name for Joelle and Adrian’s second daughter.

Their house was filled with excitement as they celebrated Molly’s three-month milestone.

When Joelle appeared, cradling her youngest, the room buzzed with guests holding gifts.

“How lovely Molly looks!”

“It’s true; she’s inherited her parents’ good looks. She’s absolutely beautiful!”

“I bet she’ll be as vibrant and charming as Aurora!”

At that moment, Joelle noticed that Aurora was missing. Passing Molly to Leah, she said, “I need to check on Aurora.”

Aurora was found alone, sitting on a swing outside. Molly’s birth seemed to have dimmed her spirits.

“Why are you out here all by yourself?” Joelle asked.

Aurora’s voice carried a hint of sadness. “Everyone else is fussing over Molly. There’s no one to play with me.”

Joelle’s heart sank with guilt. Despite her and Adrian’s efforts, as well as the family’s attempts to include Aurora, her loneliness had slipped through the cracks.

“How about I stay and play with you right now?” Joelle offered. Aurora gave a small nod.noveldrama

As Joelle pushed the swing, Aurora’s laughter soon filled the air. Moments later, Callan and some visitors came in through the front gate.

Aurora hopped off the swing and dashed towards Rafael excitedly. “Daddy!”

Rafael and Allie arrived, hand in hand with a little boy.

This boy was the one Wade had disguised as Ryland.

Rafael, recognizing the boy’s plight as similar to his own past, had compassionately welcomed him into his home with Allie.

As Rafael lifted Aurora into his arms, Joelle greeted them, “Hello, Rafael and Allie.”

Allie, playfully leaning on Rafael, chimed in with youthful enthusiasm, “Joelle, congratulations on your new princess. It seems Rafael and I are not meant to have our own little girl!”

Rafael chided, “Allie, let’s avoid such talk around the kids.”

Allie stuck out her tongue playfully and urged, “Lucas, go on and say hi to Joelle and Aurora.”

Lucas was neatly dressed, the picture of a young gentleman. Joelle looked at him and was reminded of Ryland, who by now should have been as tall as Lucas.

“Hello, Joelle, Aurora,” Lucas said with a grace reminiscent of Rafael.

Joelle and Aurora simultaneously greeted him back, “Hello.”

Rafael gently set Aurora down and suggested, “Aurora, Lucas has spent much time abroad and hasn’t made any friends here yet. Would you like to play with him?”

“Sure!”
