Sofia glanced at the nanny still standing dumbfounded at the door and scolded sharply, “What are you staying here for Why aren’t you going to work? Are you trying to slack off?”
“I’ll go right away.” The nanny immediately closed the door and hurried inside,
Sofia, holding Chloe’s arm, walked towards the house, “If I didn’t let them go, should I have kept them for kund
“Mom, Ari was taken away by Laura. When Matteo comes back and finds out, he’ll be furious, Chloe said, fearing Mateo the most in the family. “How are we going to explain to him? He’ll scold us to death?
“I’m his mother, what can he do to me?” Sofia comforted Chloe, “If he dares to scold you, I’ll scold him?
“Mom, do you really want them to divorce?” Chloe probed,
“Of course. I never liked that woman, not only is her family ordinary, but she also gave birth to a useless for Schased, getting angry just mentioning Laura and her child. “She took Arianna away, and your brother and our family are freed.
“When your brother comes back, we’ll say that Laura and Doris broke into the house and forcibly took Arianna away, Vie are an elderly person and a pregnant woman; of course, we couldn’t match the young ones.
“We’ll put all the blame on Laura, so your brother won’t blame us. The most important thing, now is to get your brother to divorce Laura as soon as possible.
“Then your brother can find a suitable woman to give birth to a son to continue the family line. Only then can I face you father when I pass away. I’ve been worrying so much for this family, for your brother.
“Mom, it’s really hard on you,” Chloe said, feeling sorry for Sofia,
Sofia stroked Chloe’s face and smiled, “As long as your brother understands my good intentions, that’s enough”
“You’re doing this for his own good, so Matteo will understand,” Chloe said as they entered the living room.
Sofia’s happiness was written all over her face. “I’ll start looking for some candidates for your brother now, and let him choose later.”

Laura and Doris left the Webb residence.
In the car, Arianna was held tightly in Laura’s arms.
“Ari, tell mom where you feel uncomfortable? I’ll take you to the hospital.” Laura touched Arianna’s forehead, afraid she might have a fever.
“I’m not uncomfortable.” Arianna rubbed her eyes. “It’s just my eyes feel a bit uncomfortable. I cried for a long time yesterday and you didn’t come to comfort me or hold me. Mom, I don’t want to be apart from you.”
Laura hugged Arianna tightly, heartbroken. “I don’t want to be apart from you either; see, I’m here to get you, right?”
“Mom loves me the most. I love mom the most too,” Arianna said contentedly, lying obediently in Laura’s arms.
Laura frowned and asked, “If you’re not sick, why didn’t you go to kindergarten?”
“Dad didn’t let me go to school, he made me stay at home,” Arianna said sadly, “I want to go to kindergarten too.”
Laura instantly understood that Matteo didn’t want her to have a chance to see Arianna.

Arianna looked up from Laura’s arms, her big eyes beautiful, her eyelashes thick and curled “Mom, where are we going
Laura was stunned, thinking. Yes, where are we going? Where can we go?
Leaving the Webb family, unable to return to her parents‘ home, she now had nothing except Arianna
Doris saw the dimness in Laura’s eyes. “Of course, we’re going home.”
Laura thought, ‘Where’s my home? She had never felt so lost and helpless, unable to see the way forward.
“Can I live with Doris?” Arianna asked naively.
Laura said, “No.”
Doris said, “Yes.”
They spoke in unison, looking at each other.
“Doris is married and lives with Lewis; that’s their home. Not ours,” Laura explained, hoping Arianna would understand
“Oh…” Arianna looked at Doris, not fully understanding. “I like Lewis too. Can’t we live together?”
Laura was about to speak again, but Doris grabbed her wrist, stopping her. “It’s okay, you can stay with Doris today. Lewis hasn’t seen Ari in a long time; he’ll be very happy.”
“Really? I’m happy too,” Arianna smiled innocently.
“Doris…” Laura shook her head.
She didn’t want to disturb Doris and Lewis‘ married life. Greenlake Hill was Lewis‘ house, not Doris. Besides, Lewis didn’t know this yet, so it would only add to their troubles.
–“Laura, don’t worry. Lewis isn’t that kind of person. If he knew about your situation, he wouldn’t mind.” Doris dispelled her
doubts.
“I know Lewis is a very good person. But just because he’s good, I shouldn’t keep troubling him.” Laura was principled and clear–headed.
“Laura, don’t think too much about it now.” Doris changed the subject. “We’re going to meet Mr. Mitchell soon, his time is precious, think about what you need to know.”
“Okay.” Laura nodded.
By noon, they went directly to Riverside Canteen. Lewis and Ivan also arrived just then.
They found a private room on the second floor, and the four of them sat down.
Arianna played alone on the sofa in the lounge area, the private room was equipped with toys for children.
“Laura, this is my good friend Ivan.” Lewis introduced them. “This is Doris‘ elder sister, Laura.”
“Nice to meet you, Laura. ” Ivan was friendly.
Laura explained her current situation to Ivan. Ivan listened very seriously, without interrupting her.
After Laura finished speaking, her eyes were red, tears welling up. Doris handed Laura a tissue.

“I understand your situation.” Ivan had noted all the key points. “Laura, are you really sure you want to divorce your husband?”
“Yes,” Laura said firmly and affirmatively.
“Okay.” Ivan took a sip of coffee. “Laura, given the huge disparity in financial strength between you and your husband, it’s best for you to find a job now to prove that you can support yourself and your child.
“As for your husband’s domestic violence, do you have any evidence, or have you been to the hospital for a medical examination?
“This will help you get custody of the child. Judges generally do not award custody to someone with a history of violence. I will do my best to help you get all the compensation you deserve.”
Laura said, “I have no evidence.”
“No evidence of being kicked out either?” asked Ivan.
Laura said, “No.”
“Mr. Mitchell, I can prove that my sister was kicked out,” Doris said indignantly for Laura. “Their family is too despicable,
hemselves. leaving my sister and Ari to fend
“You and your husband are still ma
he and his family have no right to kick you out of the Webb family, so what they did is illegal. Their act of kicking you out of the house constitutes domestic violence, and you can choose to call the police.
“If they do not cooperate, the public security organs will impose administrative penalties according to the law. You don’t need to be afraid of them, as long as you are willing, you can go back to live in that house openly.” Ivan used the law as Laura’s weapon.
“What’s good about going back to that house,” Doris said angrily. “Their family treats us as outsiders, Ari would only be locked up by them and not even allowed to go to school.”
Doris looked at Laura. “Laura, what do you think? Do you want to go back?” She knew she couldn’t make the decision for Laura.
