Chapter 51
Tommy nodded. “Tommy knows.”
Last time, when Tommy hugged Adele, Bella had been so angry and scolded her. Tommy was a little scared of Bella and didn’t dare talk to her much. And now, whenever she saw Bella, she would glare at her angrily…
In front, Frankiin, Julia, and Isabella looked like a happy family of three.
Adele looked at them and felt that it was really quite nice.
She averted her gaze.
Not long after, after Franklin and Julia had left, Adele took Tommy out of the car.
Isabella’s teacher knew that Adele was her mother.
At first, seeing Isabella being dropped off by her father and another woman, the teacher thought that Adele must have been too busy to come.
But now….
Seeing Adele holding Tommy’s hand, the teacher suddenly felt confused. “Miss Miller you and Tommy…”
“Mrs. Smith had an urgentPerhaps because they hadn’t officially livorced yet, Franklin didn’t want to disturb the elderly lady and hadn’t had anyone touch kar things
She pulled her thoughts back, took a set of pajamas and a towel, and left the master bedroom to go to feabella’s room
Isabella was sitting on the bed, playing with her tablet. When she saw the clothes in Adele’s hand, she asked curiously, “Mommy, are you going to take a bath in my room?”
Adele replied, “Mmm.”
She hadn’t been in the bathroom for long when Franklin entered Isabella’s room.
When he saw her glance towards the bathroom, Isabella said, “Mommy is taking a shower inside.”
Tranklin. “Mhm
He then asked. “Did you ask your mommy to take a shower here?”
“No, Mommy brought her own clothes over.”
Franklin didn’t ask further. He spoke a few more words to her and told her to rest early before turning to leave.
In the bathroom, Adele heard some noise, knowing that Franklin had arrived, but she couldn’t make out what they were saying.
Isabella was still recovering from her illness. After taking medicine, she was prone to drowsiness. Seeing that it was getting late, Adele decided to lie down beside her on the bed after finishing her shower.
Isabella nestled into her arms and rubbed her cheel
against Adele’s shoulder. “Mommy, you smell so good and feel so soft.”
She felt that being in Mommy’s arms was the most comfortable place.
It was even more comfortable than Aunt Julie’s arms.
However, knowing that Adele didn’t like Julia, she didn’t say that out loud.
Isabella quickly fell asleep.
Adele, too, was tired and soon drifted off as well.
Ever since Isabella fell ill, she developed a habit of kicking the covers off.
Maybe it had become a worry, but Adele still took care of her just like she used to. She woke up several times throughout the night, carefully covering her up each time to make sure she didn’t catch a cold before going back to sleep herself.
That night, Adele didn’t sleep well, but she woke up as soon as it was daw
Isabella was still asleep. Adele quietly got out of bed and looked out the window. She saw that Franklin was indeed running downstairs.
He usually ran for about an hour before coming back.
After washing up, Adele changed into some clothes and went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
Half an hour later, she handed the remaining tasks over to Aunt Sara. After confirming that Isabella didn’t have a fever anymore, she went upstairs to grab her bag and car keys before leaving.
Not long after she left, Isabella woke up.
She looked around but didn’t find Adele and asked, “Where’s Mommy?”
Aunt Sara answered, “Madam has gone out for something.”
Isabella pouted. “Oh…”

Isabella’s mood It & little
She wasn’t completely well yet, but she was feeling better. She was also hungry, so after washing up, she went downstairs to kut,
Not long after, Franklin came downstairs as well.
Not seeing Adele, he paused for a moment and asked Aunt Sarn, “Where’s Madam?”
“Oh, Madam went out.”
Franklin didn’t ask any more questions.
When Adele returned home, she ate something quickly, packed up her laptop and some essentials, and doorbell rang.

Adele glanced at the surveillance camera at the door and saw that it was Mrs. Smith and her daughter Tommy.
Adele opened the door. “Mrs. Smith…”
Mrs. Smith looked anxious. “Miss Miller, Tiantian’s grandmother is sick, and I need to take her to the hospital. Could you help me take Tommy to school?”
Since Tommy and Isabella went to the same
ergarten and the school was on the way to her company, Adele agreed.
Twenty minutes later, when she arrived at the kindergarten, she was looking for a parking spot when she saw Franklin, Julia, and Isabella together.
Isabella looked in good spirits. She was holding hands with Julia, skipping happily as they walked, clearly very pleased.
As for Franklin, he was standing beside Julia, carefully ensuring that they weren’t near the traffic and crowds.
Tommy also saw Isabella. “Sister, it’s Bella!”
Adele lowered her gaze. “Yes, Auntie saw.”
“That pretty auntie holding Bella’s hand… Is she also Bella’s mommy? Does Bella have two mommies?”
Adele didn’t answer. She gently patted Tommy’s head and said, “Auntie is helping you today. Don’t tell Bella, okay?”

matter, and asked me to bring Tommy here.”
“Oh, I see,” the teacher let out a sigh of relief before diplomatically adding, “It’s just… Isabella just arrived at school as well, but-”
“I know,” Adele smiled.
The teacher was still a bit dazed, but seeing that Adele seemed to understand and not mind, she didn’t say anything more.
After leaving the kindergarten, as soon as Adele got in the car, she received a call from Johnny, “What time will you be here?”
“About ten minutes.”
“Alright.”
When Adele arrived at Cole Corporation, Johnny was already waiting for her outside the building.
As soon as he saw her, he opened his arms and gave her a hug. “Welcome back.”
Adele smiled and returned the hug.
Meanwhile, in the office building hallway, Yale was leaning against the window, on the phone with someone.
Seeing the movement at the entrance, his gaze landed on Adele, and he was instantly struck by her beauty.
However, he quickly turned his attention away as he answered a call from Julia.
He smiled and spoke first. “Julie, good morning. When will you be at the company?”
After hearing what Julia said, Yale’s expression shifted.
A while later, when he returned to his desk, his colleagues noticed his unusually grim face.
“Yale, what’s wrong with you? Are you sick?”
Yale silently shook his head.
Soon after, other colleagues returned to the office, and one of them said mysteriously, “I saw Mr. Gray bringing a beautiful woman to the offic
now-”
“Really? A beautiful woman? Are you sure you’re not joking?”

“Yes, she was beautiful. Even more stunning than a star, so fair she was glowing, alisolutely gorgeous!
Yale immediately thought of the woman who had fallen into Johnny’s arms not long ago.
Just then, someone added. “And guess what? This beautiful woman is a new colleague joining the company today!”
Yale froze.
Julia was his junior. When he found out that she had been charmed by CUAP and wanted to join Cole, he immediately recommended her to Yale,
When they met, Johnny had clearly been impressed by Julia.
Today was Julia’s scheduled first day at the company.
Yale had just called Julia to ask when she would arrive at the company, but Julia had said that because of personal reasons, Johnny no longer needed her.
What those personal reasons were…
While Yale was lost in thought, Johnny walked in with Adele.
When Adele entered the room, everyone was amazed.
Some people stood up excitedly and rushed to ask, “President Gray, is this beautiful lady really our new colleague?”
“Seems like the news is circulating well.” Johnny smiled and introduced her to the group, “This is Adele, she’s our new colleague at the company-” Before he could finish his sentence, Yale suddenly interrupted him, “Is it because of her that you dismissed my junior?”
Johnny paused, then nodded, “Yes.”
“I’ll explain the situation to you later-”
Before he could finish saying “explanation,” Yale turned to Adele and said, “My junior just earned a PhD from one of the top ten universities in the world, and she’s only 25 years old.
Since Miss Miller managed to replace her and enter Cole, your personal background must be even more impressive, right?”
