StarNovelAt the entrance of the airport, Linda was already waiting for them.
When she saw Vania holding a little boy’s hand, she was so overcome with emotion that she almost
cried.
All these years, she knew how much effort Vania had spent on this, and she also felt overjoyed for the
woman.
“Right here, Boss.” Linda waved her hand and greeted Jude, “Hi.”
“This is also my friend. Her name is Linda Taylor, but you can just call her Aunt Linda.” Vania made the
introductions before she picked Jude up and carried him into the car.
Jude kept looking at the sides of the road. This place was incomparably flourishing.
Soon, the car entered the villa area.
The scenery here was even more pleasing to the eye, and Jude couldn’t help but gasp in secret
amazement.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce at their destination, Vania said to Linda, “I’ll need you to handle the matters at work for a couple
of days. I’ll tell you about them in detail later.”
Linda nodded. She then said to Jude, “Goodbye for now.”
Jude didn’t say a word throughout the whole process, but it was obvious from the look in his eyes that
he had responded politely.
Vania took his hand and said, “Now, you have to remember the way home. Our house is the fifth one
right here.”
Vania explained the surroundings in accurate detail, and she also pointed out the signs of each area.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance to their house.
However, just when they were about to go in, Jude backed off a little.
Vania was surprised. Everything had been progressing smoothly throughout the journey, so why did he
suddenly refuse when he was just about to go in?
She opened her mouth anxiously and asked, “What’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?”
Vania stared intently at his face, trying to see and understand what he was thinking.
Jude had been gripping a corner of his clothes tightly, unrelenting.
He was nervous and worried. He feared that his brothers at home didn’t like him, and he expressed a
visible sense of inferiority.
As Vania observed his expressions, she took a while to realize what he was thinking. She said gently,
“You are my child, and all this should have been yours from the start. I know what you’re thinking, but
you have to respect yourself. Now, you have a family and a home. No matter how they looked down on
you before this, the most important thing is in the present. As long as you treat yourself with respect, no
one would dare disrespect you in the slightest.”
Hearing Vania’s words, Jude looked up at her, his eyes asking the obvious question.
Really?
Vania’s gaze was affirmative. “There was once when I had nothing at all, but I earned everything you
see now through hard work. In the future, you can also get everything you want if you work hard

Jude frowned as if he were contemplating every word Vania said.
After a while, he finally gave a slight nod in half-belief.
When Vania saw him nod, she sighed in relief.
Everything would be fine as long as he hadn’t changed his mind about going home.
She took his hand. “Come, let’s open the door and go inside.”
Vania let him walk in front while she followed closely behind him. She did it so that he could constantly
sense her presence, and he would feel more secure.
At the door, Vania inserted the key and held Jude’s hand as she spoke encouragingly. “Here, why don’t
you try to open the door on your own?”
Jude glanced at Vania before he held the key hesitantly. His movements were shy and reserved as he
dared not open the door with too much force. It took a long while before he could get the door open.
As soon as the door creaked open, merry music sounded from inside. The music was pleasant to hear,
and it greatly increased the joy in the air.
He had never heard such wonderful music before.
Also, the nice smell wafting out through the crack in the door made him feel even fuzzier inside.
