Go back to where I found you.”
“I’ll practice more, Mom. I promise!” Joselyn replied, clearly scared.
Amelie smiled, pleased. She turned to Hannah. “I own a coffee shop here. Let’s talk there.”
Hannah hesitated but eventually nodded.
Winston, concerned, started to object, but Hannah’s subtle head shake stopped him.
“This way, madam,” said the coffee shop waiter, leading them to a terrace with a stunning view.
“Do you want your usual coffee?” the waiter inquired.
Amelie gave a nod and chose for both of them. “Let’s have two cups of the same coffee.”
Once the waiter left, Amelie glanced at Winston and said firmly, “We’d Like some privacy. Please, step outside.”
However, Winston didn’t budge and replied, “Sir instructed me to stay within five meters of Miss Moore at all times, except when she’s asleep.”
Hannah was at a loss for words.
Noticing Amelie’s displeasure, Hannah tried to persuade, “It’s just us on the terrace. If you wait outside, I’ll be perfectly safe, won’t I?”
She turned to Amelie with a reassuring smile. “Madam, you wouldn’t harm me, right?”
Winston, after a brief look at Hannah, agreed, “Alright, I’ll wait by the door.”
He then walked towards the door, leaving Amelie and Hannah alone.
As the waiter brought their coffee, Amelie finally broke the silence.
“Miss Moore, is this alright with you?” She took a graceful sip of her coffee.

At these words, Hannah narrowed her eyes, a chill in her gaze. “What are you implying?”
“Just stating a fact, Miss Moore. You really do resemble her, hence my frankness.” Amelie smiled, getting straight to the point, “My husband’s first love was your mother.”
And Hannah’s suspicions were confirmed!
Winston was sent by Wallace!
“Miss Moore, I truly felt sorry about your mother’s passing. My husband missed her greatly. It’s no wonder he had Winston find you this time,” Amelie, smiling at Hannah, said. “Seeing you today, I felt like we were connected. If it’s okay with you, think of me as your mom.”
Hannah couldn’t help but laugh and answered coldly, “I had a mom, but she’s gone now.”
