"Are you chatting with Aiden? How intriguing," Keara said with a laugh.

"Hmm… Aiden is busy and actually wants to go home immediately after the event is over. But he agreed to stay here," Anya said with a smile.

​​

Hearing Anya was going to stay, Maria immediately looked happy. "I just learned some new recipes. I will cook it for you tomorrow,"

"Sister Maria is very good. Tomorrow's breakfast will definitely be very good," Keara praised.

"Keara, how are you after all this time? Are you in great pain?" Maria looked at Keara worriedly.

"When I woke up in the hospital, I lost my memory and did not know who I was. I was very panicked and scared. The doctor said that I had a concussion and amnesia. At that moment, I just realized that I was becoming very sensitive to smells. After getting out of the hospital, the person who saved me introduced me to the perfumery world and made me an assistant." Keara said with a smile as she remembered it.

Maria nodded. "Your whole family works in that field. Of course as a successor you also have the same skills as them. The accident that befell you arguably brought good luck to you."

"It's true. And my memory suddenly came back when I fell in the bathroom. My head hit so hard that I fainted. As soon as I woke up, all my memories came back. Maybe I should have banged my head hard a few years ago if I knew it was as easy as this," Keara said half jokingly.

Upon hearing Keara's story, Anya did not know where Keara's faults and lies were. But how could Aiden know that all this was just Keara's pretense?

If the information provided by Keara was false, then was the story about the lost and return of her memory also false?

"Don't say that. Fortunately, your memory is back. What if your head bumps and you don't wake up?" Maria held Keara's hand gently. "I know you want to get your memory back and help me find Nadine. But I am also thankful you are safe,"

"I'm sorry, sister. I do not know where Nadine is. When I was attacked by a wild animal, the driver who escorted us immediately took Nadine to a safe place. Then we separated," Keara said. "This is all my fault. I should not have taken Nadine with me,"

Maria's face looked gloomy and unpleasant to look at for a second. It was as if she was disgusted to hear the lies coming out from Keara's lips. However, she tried to restrain herself and spoke calmly. "I know you did your best for Nadine. I don't blame you. If you remember something, please let me know,"

Anya learned a lot from Keara from this conversation.

She could clearly catch the message Keara wanted to convey. When she had an accident, Nadine had fled and left her along with their driver.

Then she lost her memory and was saved by someone. While waiting for her memory to recover, she worked as a perfume assistant for the person.

After that, she slipped in the bathroom and suddenly regained her memory. But she was completely clueless about Nadine's whereabouts.

So, there were only two clues. The first was to find a driver who brought the two of them to a deeper understanding of the situation.

However, Nadine disappeared along with the driver, hence making it difficult to find the two of them.

The only option left was to contact someone who saved Keara. The person must know what happened when Keara was saved.

Anya was not sure if the person was really dead, as Keara said.

If Keara lied and they could find the person, they could get new clues.

Keara looked at Anya who was thinking and asked, "Anya, what are you thinking?"

"I don't think it's possible for Nadine to run away and leave you. Even if the driver escapes, Nadine will definitely come back to save you," Anya observed Keara's expression when she said that.

Upon hearing this, Maria's heart felt very warm. She also felt very uncomfortable hearing Keara's story, but she had to restrain herself.

She was happy that Anya was defending her daughter!

"You misunderstood. I'm not saying that Nadine ran away. I said she was hiding in a safe place. The driver must be afraid Nadine did not listen to him and came back to save me," Keara said with a sad look.

After hearing this, Anya and Maria fell silent.

Tara was worried about Anya and immediately called Nico to follow her.

"The three of them are together. What should I do in their midst?" Nico was upset.

"Their situation is not awkward. Your mother just wants to find her daughter. And Anya does not consider Keara as her rival. You just need to mix with them and see the situation," Tara urged him.

From the beginning, Nico did not like Keara at all. He didn't like Keara using Ivan to cheat on Aiden.

Plus, since Nadine's disappearance, Nico had become increasingly hostile to Keara.

"Do you want to go home?" Nico asked.

Tara nodded. "My grandfather is tired. He is saying goodbye to your grandfather and we will go home soon,"

"Tara, no matter who I am dating or engaged to, you will always be my best friend. Besides, you can't get married earlier than me. Remember what you promised me!" Nico glared at her.

Tara did not understand why Nico suddenly said this, but she was too lazy to ask. she just nodded. "Fine, fine…! Hurry up and go!"

Nico sighed in relief and said, "Go home with your grandfather and rest. I will see what my mother is talking about,"

"Alright!" Tara waved her hand at Nico.

Today, Tara was wearing a pastel green dress that made her look fresh and charming. Her dress reached to her ankles, covering her whole beautiful body. The same went for the long sleeves, covering up to Tara's wrists.

Although the dress did not show her curves, it still made her look elegant. Tara deliberately used a modest dress even though she actually had a beautiful body. It's all because of her old grandfather.

Nico did not mind seeing her dressing this way. He also did not want to see the other men realize how charming Tara was. That way, his competitor would be less.

Thinking about that, Nico walked closer to his mother.

"Mother, what are you talking about? Looks like you guys are having fun chatting!" Nico stood behind Maria's chair and hugged her mother's neck from behind.

Maria turned slightly and clapped Nico's hand. "Where are you from? I want to introduce some girls to you, but I do not see you at all,"

"Will Nico start dating?" Keara said jokingly.

"Auntie, don't tease me," Nico grinned very naturally even though he actually hated keara. "I am still young. Mom and grandpa should not have to worry about this,"

"True. Nico is still very young and handsome. He can choose his partner slowly," Keara replied with a smile.

"He no longer has his father and I can not continue to take care of him. To avoid marriage, he even deliberately left home," Maria said in a sad voice. "My son still does not have a lover. If only Nadine were here, she could accompany me,"

Anya could feel how much Maria missed her daughter. She had always thought of Nadine all the time.

"Sister, I'm sure Nadine is still alive. She will be found soon," Keara comforted her.

"Auntie, do you really want Nadine back?" When asking this, Nico looked at Keara with a hesitant look.

Keara calmly answered him, "Of course. Nadine and I are friends. I really miss her too,"

"If you want Nadine back, you won't keep anything a secret, will you?" After saying that, Nico turned and looked at Anya. "Auntie, I want to meet Uncle. Please take me to his place now,"
