Chapter 4
“Kate, pour sister made you something to eat. Please, listen to me, don’t starve yourself over Chris. You’ve already lost a lot of blood. If you keep this up, a could kill you,” Celia said gently, brushing her fingers over Kate’s pale face.
Kate swallowed her anger. She believed Kyla was playing the innocent card well, and she didn’t have enough evidence yet. Tearing her mask off now wouldn’t work.
That’s okay. As long as I’m alive, III make sure Kyla loses everything Kate wowed silently.
But her Celia’s words struck a chord of quilt within her. Before her time travel, Kate had gone on a hunger strike to pressure Celia and Leland into agreeing to her marriage with Chris
After just one day, she believed it was the Davidson marriage alliance holding them back, so she snuck away to the Davidson family and refused the marriage in the most dramatic way possible.
She had calculated that the Davidsons wouldn’t dare let her dig, And she was right. They backed down, and after slashing her wrists and starving herself for days, she forced her parents to give in and allow her to marry Chris
“Kyla, come
in: Celia called.
Kyla entered, looking worlds apart from Kate. Kate had inherited the best traits from their parents, her natural beauty shining even through a harsh upbringing
Her adoptive parents had nurtured her talents a Life, her elegance couldn’t be hidden
and interests, sending her to music, chess, poetry, and painting classes. Despite the challenges of her
“Kate, I made some of your favorite dishes. You should eat them while they’re still warm” Kyla said with a sweet smile.
Growing up in the Sutton family. Kyla received an entirely different upbringing from Kate’s. She had the poise of someone from a wealthy background and the sharpness of a professional–seemingly gentle but with a hidden agenda. Kate had fallen for her act in her previously.
Kate glanced at the food Kyla had brought and ching to Celia’s arm, speaking in a cure, almost childlike manier. “Mom, I want to eat your cooking,
Kyla’s eyes flickered, but she kept her polite smile, unfazed by Kate’s rejectina.
The two were actually born on the same day, with Kyla being just half a day older than Kate.
Celia looked at Kyla, who smiled just in time. “Mom, if Kate prefers your cooking, then make it for her. As long as she eats, that’s all that matters,” Kyla said.
Seeing that Kyla wasn’t upset, Celia gently tapped Kate on the forehead, her tone doting. “Kyla dropped everything to rush back and cook for you. but you’re still being picky. I just don’t think it’s a good idea.”
“Mom, I just want to eat your food; it has your love in it, Kate said, continuing to act sweet.
“Wright, alright, I’ll cook for you.” Celia relented, immediately heading downstairs to start cooking-
Kate didn’t want to stay near Kyla, worried she might not be able to control her anger and end up strangling Kyla right there–which, honestly. would be too easy for Kyl
In fact, she wanted Kyla to experience the same misery she had endured in her previously, to expose her for the schemer she truly was, and let everyone see her for what she really was.
‘Kyla, you homewrecking bitch, Kate cursed in her mind.
As Kate was about to head downstairs, Kyla called out to her.
Kate didn’t stop, didn’t even turn her head. She just said calmly, “I’m hungry, going to grab some snacks.
Kyla didn’t push it, watching Kate leave the room and head downstairs. She then looked back at the food she’d brought up, her expression darkening as the pressed her liga together.
In the past, Kate loved those dishes, a habat she’d picked up at her adoptive parents boune. But now, she refused them.
Kyla sensed something had changed about Kate; not only did she no longer want those foods, but she also started acting all cute and close with

Chapter 4
After a moment, Kyla took the food downstairs. Halfway down, she overheard Kate and Celia talking. Kate’s voice was sweet and playful, making Celia laugh again and again.
Entering the kitchen with the food, Kyla saw Kate feeding Celia some cookies.
Celia wasn’t fond of sweets, but the way she happily are the cookies Kate was feeding her, one’d think they were the best thing she’d ever tasted.
“Kate. Mom doesn’t like sween” Kyla couldn’t help but lecture, “You’ve been back for over a year now, and you still don’t know thar
Kate immediately put on a flustered look, blinking her big eyes at Celia, and asked pitifully, “Mom, you really don’t like sweets??
Seeing Kate looking so wronged, Celia quickly reassured her. “Mom actually loves sweets. I just used to avoid them to keep my figure, but now that I’m older, who cares if I gain a litle weight?
She then looked at Kate with a smile, her tone indulgent. These cookies are delicious. Come on, feed me another one”
Kate beamed and quickly offered her another cookie. Celia ate it contentedly, nodding. “Mmm, they’re great
Seeing how pleased Celia was, Kate suddenly blurted out, “Mom, once my hand heals, I’ll make some pastries for you.”
Celia laughed at her words, “Then I’ll be eagerly waiting for those pastries”
Watching the mother–daughter interaction, Kyla kept a smile on larr face, but jealousy flickered in her eyes.
She glanced at Kate’s bandaged what and said, with a hint of concern, “Kate, don’t ever do something so stupid again. It hurts you, but it hurts us 100. You have no idea how scared Mom was when the Davidson family brought you back.”
Kate looked down at her injured wrist, then met Kyla’s gaze, replying firmly, “I won’t do anything stupid again.”
They locked eyes, and that nagging feeling that Kate had changed resurfaced in Kyla’s mind. She told herself. This has to be my imagination!
Kyla reached out to smooth Kate’s long, flowing hair, blonde and soft like silk: “As long as you don’t do anything reckless, we can all breathe easy. Mr. Davidson is ruthless, you refusing to marry him. But don’t worry, I wont let him bother you
Celia was very pleased with Kyla’s behavior. Ever since she reunited with Kate, her biggest fear had been that Kyla and Kate wouldn’t get along
And now her fears seemed unfounded, she thought Kyla was a good sister who genuinely wanted to protect Kate.
Just as Celia was about to say something, Kate suddenly asked, “Are you planning to apologize to Mr. Davidson for me? Or are you thinking of marrying him instead?”
Kyla’s hand, which had been gently stroking Kate’s hair, froge mid–motion.
