Chapter 470 A Weird Family

“You’re not just excited, Mom. You’re literally so eager you couldn’t even control yourself. Did you even

notice how you frightened her just now?” Camille sat down.


Betty remained silent.

She didn’t mean to frighten Kathleen, but she just couldn’t keep her emotions in check.

“But Mom, Kate sure does look like a Lester.” Xenia smiled.

“Yeah. Her father is a handsome man.” There was tenderness in Betty’s eyes as she spoke, and she

soon began tearing up at the thought of Kathleen’s father.

Immediately, Camille and Xenia walked over to comfort her.

“Mom, don’t cry. We’re lucky enough to be able to find Kate,” soothed Camille.

“Yeah. When Anthony and Yusef are back, we can have a discussion on how to tell Kate the truth. By

then, the both of you can finally reunite,” Xenia chimed in.


“I know. I’m just too happy, that’s all.” Betty wiped her tears.

In the meantime, Yvonne led Kathleen to one of the rooms.

Kathleen didn’t expect the Lesters to prepare such a large bedroom for her.

Thus, she said to Yvonne, “Ms. Lester, I can’t stay in this room. This should be the master bedroom,

right? I’ll just stay in one of the guestrooms.”



“No, I can’t let you. You’re our… savior, after all. See, I’ve even asked the maids to prepare you some

clothes,” said Yvonne, pausing in between.

The way they treated her was precisely why she didn’t dare to stay.


The Lesters are weird. If they want to thank me, they could just give me money.

“Ms. Lester…” Kathleen began.

“You’re around my daughter’s age, so you could just call me… Aunt Yvonne. You don’t have to be so

polite,” said Yvonne with an inscrutable tone.

Kathleen was speechless.

I’m not the one who’s being too polite. They are all too friendly, and it’s weird!

Yvonne said enthusiastically, “Take a look around and tell me if you need anything else.”

“Oh, it’s okay.” Kathleen found it hard to turn her down.

“All right then. You should get some rest.” Yvonne turned and left the room.

Kathleen sighed and went to look for Levi, who was supposedly in the room next to hers.

Nevertheless, he wasn’t there when she opened the door.

She descended the stairs and went to the garden, which had a pretty scenic view.

As she couldn’t see Levi anywhere, she decided to take a walk around.

At that moment, she saw two kids huddled together in the garden, each holding a tiny shovel and trying

to scoop a flower out from the soil.




“Why are we doing this?” the little girl asked with a melodious voice.

“A new aunt has come to our house. We shall give this to her as a gift,” replied the little boy.

The girl asked in excitement, “Is she pretty?”

“Yeah, probably. My mom says she’s a celebrity.”

“I love celebrities!” the girl exclaimed.

Kathleen glanced at the poor Juliet rose that was almost mutilated to death by the two children and said

slowly, “The flower’s going to die.”

The two chubby children paused in their tracks and turned to look at Kathleen.

“She’s so pretty,” whispered the girl before she put on a wide grin and asked, “Who are you?”

“Are you the new aunt?” the boy questioned in surprise.

Aunt?

Kathleen answered, “I’m the doctor who’s here to treat Old Mrs. Lester.”

“You’re our new aunt!” The boy threw his shovel away and dragged the girl over, greeting Kathleen, “Nice

to meet you!”

The girl imitated the boy. “Nice to meet you.”

Kathleen replied wryly, “Nice to meet you, too. Stop shoveling the flower. It’s going to die.”

Juliet roses were precious flowers.

The Lester family was apparently quite wealthy to be able to plant such valuable flowers in the garden

like it was nothing.

“Mark! You naughty boy! Are you up to no good again?” A woman who looked to be around Kathleen’s

age approached.

The boy, Mark Lester, took the girl’s hand and hid behind Kathleen, yelling, “Help!”

Kathleen stared down at the kids speechlessly.

As the woman got closer, she looked at Kathleen in surprise. “You… You are…”

“I’m Kathleen Johnson,” said Kathleen, thinking the Lesters were a bunch of weirdos.

Why are they so shocked to see me? Don’t they know I’m here to treat Old Mrs. Lester’s illness?

The woman introduced herself, “Hello! I’m Suzie, the little brat’s mother.”

Kathleen shook the woman’s hand. “Hi. Nice to meet you.”

Suzie looked happy to see her. ”You’re finally here. Give me a minute. I’m going to teach this brat a

lesson.”

Kathleen nodded as Suzie pulled her son over to her side, scolding, “Look at what you did to your

grandpa’s precious flower! Your grandpa gave this to your grandma as a gift when they were dating, and

you just destroyed it!”

“Mom, flowers don’t have feelings, so it’s totally fine! Grandpa and Grandma are already married, so the

flower doesn’t really matter now,” Mark argued irrationally.

Suzie was so mad that she squatted down and smacked the boy’s buttocks as punishment.



Instead of crying, Mark said casually, “Take it easy, Mom. My dad’s going to be heartbroken if you end up

hurting your own hand.”

Suzie was at a loss for words.

Another young woman came over. “What’s going on here, Suzie?”

“Mommy!” The little girl jumped into the woman’s arms.

The woman was shocked to see all the dirt on her daughter’s shirt. “Bella! What happened to your

clothes?”

“Look what they’ve done, Ninette. These naughty kids destroyed the rose that Dad gifted to Mom,”

complained Suzie.

The woman, Ninette Kirby, stared at the ruined rose and sighed. “You kids are so mischievous.”

“Mommy, we just want to gift the rose to our new aunt.” The girl, Bella, pointed at Kathleen.

Ninette looked at Kathleen. “You’re Kathleen, right?”

Before Kathleen could respond, the woman smiled and continued, “Nice to meet you. I’m Ninette.”

“Nice to meet you too.” Kathleen nodded as a greeting.

Right then, the maid walked over and informed them, “Mr. Anthony and the others are back.”

“Really? Let’s go. I’m sure they’re eager to meet you.” Suzie let go of her son and grabbed Kathleen’s

hand, pulling her along.

Ninette carried Bella and took Mark’s hand, following behind them.



When they returned to the mansion, the atmosphere was quite lively in the living room.

Levi was chatting with the patriarchs of the family when Kathleen and the others entered.

The four men in the living room stood up one by one as Camille and Xenia also approached.

Levi curled his lips. “Allow me to introduce them to you. This is the head of the Lester family, Anthony

Lester, and this is his son Dylan Lester. This is Anthony’s brother, Yusef Lester, and his son Nathan

Lester. As for the others, I’m sure you already know them.”

Kathleen nodded. “Hello. I’m Kathleen.”

Anthony replied placidly, “Welcome to the Lester residence.”

“Thanks.” Kathleen felt a little nervous to see all the members of the Lester family standing before her.

It was quite a weirdly grand scene.

“Um…” She opened her mouth, wondering what to say.

“Let’s talk while we eat, Anthony. Or Kate’s going to feel awkward,” said Yusef with a smile.

No, I already feel awkward enough. I’m confused, too.

“Okay.” Anthony nodded.

When Suzie and Ninette brought the kids to wash their hands, Kathleen approached Levi and whispered,

“I’ve got something to ask you, Levi.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I think these people are acting weird. There shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Kathleen looked around her.
