Rena shared her ideas with Waylen.

She couldn't help but sigh as she said, "Albert's mother was also deceived by Kyle. Upon learning that Kyle already had a family,

Albert's mother left him and raised their son alone. It hasn't been easy for her all these years. She had never seen Kyle these years."

Rena continued, "But in my opinion, Albert's desire to reunite his parents might be one-sided. His mother might not be interested in rekindling her relationship with Kyle."

Waylen couldn't help but sympathize with Albert's mother, and he felt pity for Albert.

However, he kept his thoughts to himself and didn't voice them to Rena.

After their discussion, Rena decided to pay a visit to Harrison that afternoon.

Waylen didn't mind that and readily agreed to accompany her.

In Czanch, on Christmas Eve, the Evans' house buzzed with activity.

Servants bustled about, ensuring that everything was perfect for the family reunion. The dining table was adorned with more exquisite dishes than usual, and everyone eagerly anticipated Rena's return in a couple of days. Her presence would undoubtedly make the celebration even more joyous.

Zoey, in particular, took the opportunity to showcase her culinary prowess,

She had mastered the art of preparing Christmas turkey with a touch of her own magic.

She meticulously seasoned the turkey, then generously applied her homemade herb butter both beneath and over the skin.

Chunks of vegetables, including onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, were lovingly placed alongside the turkey to roast. The result was a mouthwatering turkey with golden, crispy skin.

Zoey just took it out from the oven.

Unable to resist, Cecilia took a bite, only to accidentally burn her mouth in the process.

Zoey, a mix of worries and amusement, gently chastised her, “Quickly, ask the butler for some burn ointment. Or when Mark returns tonight, he will notice it and call you a little foodie."

Cecilia felt a touch embarrassed as she hurried to follow Zoey's advice.

Zoey's mood darkened when a servant interrupted their culinary bonding.
