Chapter 104 Emily
Keith quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
......
After picking up the two children, Haley drove to the Martinez family's villa.
The Martinez family held a weekly family banquet on Fridays, so Haley specifically chose to come on Thursday.
Only Madam Martinez and Justin were present, and dinner was already set in the dining room.
"Great-grandma, Uncle Second."
Todd led Angela inside and greeted them politely.
Madam Martinez patted the heads of the two children affectionately and smiled kindly, "Todd is getting handsomer as he grows older, and Angela is becoming more beautiful too."
"Grandma, please stop praising them." Haley helplessly said, "Todd used to be a reserved child, but after starting preschool, his teachers, classmates, and parents praise him for being handsome every day. Now he's gotten even more conceited."
Todd blushed, "Mommy, I'm not conceited."
"Yes, you're not conceited, you're just more vain!" Haley burst into laughter and pinched his face.
Todd quickly dodged his mom's grasp.
He needed to be a little vain so that the girls in his class would like him.
If the girls liked him, then his sister wouldn't be sitting alone in the corner.
But Todd knew he couldn't tell Haley about these thoughts.
Madam Martinez, who was getting old, had always had a poor appetite. Haley went to the kitchen and brought a bowl of tomato pasta for her.
"Haley, it's a waste that your cooking talent isn't being utilized in a restaurant." After finishing the meal, Madam Martinez had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, "When you come to a realization someday, I'll invest in you."
Haley pursed her lips and smiled, "If Grandma likes it, I'll come here every day to cook dinner for you."
Madam Martinez held Haley's hand and touched the calluses on her palm, sighing imperceptibly.
If life hadn't been so difficult, who would have forced themselves to become skilled in cooking?
Justin saw Madam Martinez sigh and knew that it had stirred up her old sorrow, so he quickly changed the subject, "Haley, are you free tomorrow night?"
Haley turned slightly, "Apart from picking up the kids from school, I don't have anything else for the time being. Why?"
"I'll have my assistant pick up the kids for you. Would you accompany me to a business banquet?" Justin took out two invitation cards, "It's the most prestigious banquet in Cuenca, attended by influential figures. It will be helpful for your studio to establish connections if you attend."
Haley accepted the invitation card and smiled, "Thank you, Cousin Justin."
Having just returned to Cuenca, she needed to establish her own network of contacts before her studio could gradually develop.
"Mommy, you can go with peace of mind. I'll take good care of Angela." Todd obediently said.
In the past, when they were abroad, Haley often went out for work, and Todd took care of Angela's meals and bedtime all by himself.
Now, with the assistance of Justin's assistant, Haley felt even more at ease.
After finishing work on Friday evening, Haley changed into an elegant dress and got into Justin's car, wearing high heels.
The business banquet was taking place at the largest hotel in Cuenca, which could accommodate thousands of people.
Even before nightfall, there was already a long line of luxury cars parked at the hotel entrance, and men and women dressed in suits and formal dresses were streaming inside.
With her wrist resting on Justin's arm, Haley walked toward the banquet hall.
Suddenly, there was commotion ahead.
Haley squinted her eyes and saw Ivan standing tall among the crowd.
And standing next to Ivan was a woman, Emily.
