Chapter 552
James rubbed his temples. "Charlotte, there are things | need to handle at work. I'll cback another day."
Charlotte's eyes turned red. "James, | miss you so much. When | wake up from nightmares at night and you're
not there, | cry."
Her words were pitiful, and James felt moved. He knew Charlotte was having a tough pregnancy, with no one
around when she had morning sickness.
He sat back down. "Charlotte, I'm sorry. | haven't been taking good care of you."
That afternoon, Sarah took Mia to school, leaving Sydney alone in the house.
While Annette was cleaning in the back garden, Sydney crept out of her room and stood at Mia's doorway. After
checking that no one was around, she carefully took out a key and unlocked Sarah's door.
This room was probably the largest after the master bedroom.
She clenched her fists.
Why did Sarah get everything without having to work for it?

She pulled it out curiously, and when she looked at its contents, her heart leaped - this was exactly what she'd

back exactly as she'd found it, she left Sarah's
room.
"Hello, Aunt Amanda? Are these what you wanted? | just sent them to you," she said excitedly, surprised at how
easy it had been.
At the Wilson Building.
In her top floor office, Vivian was reviewing the Habour Crescent Island proposal from the planning department.
Though the Chairman had approved it, Vivian felt something was missing.
When a new email arrived, she clicked it open and her hand trembled slightly - she hadn't expected to get it so
quickly.
She pressed the intercom, and her assistant cright in.
She handed the tablet to her assistant. "Take this to the tech department. | want renderings and visualizations in
a week."
"A week?" The assistant stared at Vivian in shock.
Vivian nodded firmly. "Tell them to drop everything else. Full speed on this for the next week. If they deliver, they
get a week off and double bonuses."
The assistant rushed out with the tablet.

He sat there for two full hours, silent, staring at the counseling office, imagining Sarah inside.
Finally, the office lights went out and the glass door opened.
Mia cout first, with Sarah locking up behind her.
They walked to the gate, chatting and laughing. He knew Mia and Sarah had always gotten along well.
