Selma Payne’s POV:

Julie was asked to work as a servant in a manor outside the city and obediently listen to the Evaria Family’s orders.

The only reward was that the Evaria Family would allow them to reunite with their mother and son when she returned from the manor.

Even though she knew it was just a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, Julie still believed the possibility was one in ten thousand. She obediently returned to her hometown and entered a manor under the arrangements of the Evaria Family to begin her career as a servant.

During this time, she kept her mouth shut about everything she had experienced over the years because she knew that leaking any information would take away her last hope.

The manor’s environment was very serious. Almost every day, people came to check and interrogate the staff who worked there. Julie experienced everything in fear. She didn’t even dare to participate in the small talk between her colleagues, afraid she would say something wrong.

The group ostracized her because of her unsociable nature. Gradually, the dirty and tiring work began to be arranged for Julie. Julie had no complaints about this. She believed this was a test of her faith in the Moon Goddess, and she would overcome all difficulties to return to her son’s side.

However, the boring and difficult life always made people sad. One time, when Julie secretly hid in the kitchen and cried, Layla appeared. She gently comforted the sobbing woman and told her to come to her if she had any difficulties.

Layla was a person who kept her word. When she found out about Julie’s predicament at work, she quickly set a fair shift schedule so Julie was no longer the one who was bullied.

Julie could not help but feel hopeful. She already knew what kind of person Layla was. Perhaps this powerful and kind-hearted adult could help her. As a woman, she could understand a mother’s plea. Perhaps Layla was the messenger sent by the Moon Goddess to save her.

She continued to accumulate hope and courage and finally decided to confess everything to Layla one day.

However, the Evaria Family sent a message.

It turned out that Julie’s self-righteous laziness and cleverness had long been discovered. The Evaria Family had been waiting for the moment to destroy Julie’s hope completely.

They knew that when hope was shattered at the peak, it would often completely shatter a person’s defense.

So that day, Julie found a picture of a child in the fresh milk delivered in the morning. The young and tender facial features seemed carved out of the same mold as hers.

Someone wrote the child’s name on the back of the photo, Jack Evaria. Julie immediately understood everything. She knew that her plan had been exposed. Even if the Evaria Family treated Little Jack like a treasure, a mother would never risk her child.

Julie was once again in despair. She had lost the opportunity that was so close at hand. Fate would never give her a shortcut again.

Layla, who knew nothing, still treated Julie well. This gentle and kind guard captain was born with a sense of responsibility. However, this kind of kindness became a sweet poison to Julie. She was grateful and guilty to Layla. She accepted Layla’s care but had to send her information to the people outside.

Julie didn’t know what the Evaria Family would do, but she had a bad feeling.

The weather was gloomy that day, and Julie, who was on duty, rushed to hang the clothes in the yard before it rained. Layla, who was reading on the balcony, saw her and invited her upstairs for afternoon tea.

“Are you married?”

Julie’s heart beat like a drum in the face of Layla’s question. She was secretive and did not answer directly. She only said she had a son who was placed in foster care with relatives in other places.

Layla was very interested in her child and asked how to care for a child. Julie’s sharp eyes noticed that the usually bare-faced Layla wore a ring today.

Noticing her gaze, Layla took the initiative to explain. She said that this was her engagement ring. She had received news today that she could leave the manor immediately.

She and her fiance had promised to get married when she returned to the Lycan pack, so she couldn’t help but take out her engagement ring and put it on as if her fiance was by her side.

She even invited Julie to attend her wedding. She hoped that they could become friends.

It was also on this night that Julie met someone she did not expect.

She just went to the storeroom to look for something as usual but did not realize that tonight seemed much quieter than usual. There was not even a person in the corridor.

She opened the storeroom door and was about to find some wheat flour to make bread for tomorrow morning. At this moment, the heavy rain brewing for an entire day finally fell. A lightning bolt suddenly tore through the night sky, illuminating the dim storage room and the small figure in the corner.

Julie was shocked. She immediately turned on the lights and looked at the corner. Her tears flowed uncontrollably.

It was a little boy who looked exactly like the one in the photo. He was thin, cold, and unfamiliar, but Julie knew who he was. She would never forget his appearance until she died.

This was her child, Jack Evaria..
