Chapter 25 Edmund took the flowers , then stood up and walked over to Kaneeta , handing the bouquet to her himself . " Neeta , don't be angry anymore . Let's make up , okay ? " In front of her was a large bouquet of vibrant red roses . Suddenly , Kaneeta remembered that when Edmund confessed his feelings to her years ago , he had also held a bouquet of red roses just like this . Back then , his eyes were so bright , as if she was the only one in his heart and in his gaze . How could a person be so hypocritical ? It was disgusting . " Neeta? " Edmund held the flowers for a long time , but Kaneeta still didn't reach out to take them . Just at that moment , his phone rang . He had no choice but to set the flowers aside and answer the call . Chapter 25 " Mom ? You're here? Neeta and I are eating out … Okay , we'll come back right away . " After hanging up , he said to Kaneéta , " My mom is here , she's at home now , urging us to hurry back . " Edmund's mother had always lived at the Kuntz's manor , which was quite far from the city center , and would occasionally come to visit them . Kaneeta was just about to say something when Edmund cut her off : " Neeta , no matter what conflicts we have , let's not worry the elders . You know my mom's health isn't good . " " Then you go back first ," Kaneeta said . " My mom just said on the phone that she misses you . If you don't come back with me , how disappointed will she be ? " What he said made Kaneeta hesitate . Edmund's mother had always treated her very well , a kind and gentle elder . Her warmth had brought much comfort to Kaneeta , whose own mother had passed away . Besides , if his mother ever found out that her son and adopted daughter had that kind of relationship … She would be heartbroken . Chapter 25 Her health really wasn't good , and Kaneeta didn't want her to be too upset . " Let's go ." Seeing that Kaneeta no longer refused him , a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of Edmund's lips . He thought Kaneeta was starting to calm down . He just knew that as long as he coaxed Kaneeta a little , she would always make up with him . *** Meanwhile , Nyasia was sitting at home , acting spoiled with her mother , Lila Thorne . " Mom , we haven't seen each other in years . How come you don't miss me ? The first thing you ask about is that Kaneeta ? " " Silly child , of course I miss you , " Lila patted her hand . " I saw your brother and your sister - in - law weren't home , so I thought they were working late again , that's why I asked . " " Nyasia's expression darkened . " What sister - in - law ? She …" " Nya ! " Lila cut her off directly . " Neeta is your sister - in - law , and you'd better remember that ! Cough , cough … " Chapter 25 She suddenly started coughing , and Nyasia hurried to pat her back . " I know , Mom . Look at you , why are you getting so worked up all of a sudden ? "
