The servant’s voice came from outside the door.
Andrea’s hand shook, almost dropping the phone on the ground.
She subconsciously looked up at the surveillance camera in the corner of the wall, her heart pounding in her chest.
Andrea immediately walked to the door and gave the phone back to the maid.
“Tabitha, my phone died, so if you have power, I can just ask my brother through the monitor. Thank you.”
“No need to be polite, miss.”
The servant took the phone and left.
Sure enough, the next moment, a deep voice of Roderick came from the monitor.
“Andie?”
Andrea took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
She walked up to the monitor screen, with a sweet smile on her face.
“What’s wrong?”
“Why is the surveillance footage black just now?”
The man sounded cautious.
“Because of the typhoon, our area had a power outage. It just went out,

but now we’re using backup power.”
After Andrea explained, the man no longer dwelled on the issue.
“The company has a document that needs you to bring over, it should be placed in the living room.”
Roderick’s voice sounded a bit tired, “Andie had a tough run.”
“Got it.”
Andrea obediently agreed.
Half an hour later, Andrea was standing at the door of the Hodgson Group’s CEO office.
Through the slightly open door, she saw Matilda sitting on Roderick’s office chair, placing the carefully prepared lunch on the table.
They chatted and laughed, the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.
She quietly pushed open the door, placed the documents on the table, and then left.
“Andie!”
Roderick immediately got up and chased after her, reaching out and grabbing her wrist.
“It’s not what you see.”
“What? The fiancee of a business merger came to deliver a loving lunch, so normal.”
Andrea looked up, her eyes as cold as water.
She beat Roderick to it and blurted out the explanations he wanted to

“I know you were just under family pressure with her, and I know you will definitely fulfill the promise you made to me. I won’t make a scene or put you in a difficult position, don’t worry, brother.”
Roderick looked at her calm face and suddenly felt a bit nervous.
Before, if she saw this kind of scene, she would definitely cry and ask questions, but now…
In her eyes, there was only calmness and indifference.
“We were just business partners.”
Roderick emphasized again.
“I know, you were in a business marriage, you said, your true love is me.”
Listening to her calm tone, Roderick felt powerless.
He would rather she cried and questioned angrily, than face this distant look at the moment.
But she couldn’t find any mistakes in every word and sentence.
“Anything else?”
Andrea looked up.
“I’m going to the welfare home later, just letting you know in advance.”
After saying that, without waiting for his answer, she turned around and walked away in her high heels.
Watching her resolute departure, Roderick rubbed his forehead.

Always felt like something was slipping out of his control.
In the orphanage.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the plane tree leaves, casting dappled shadows on the concrete ground.
Andrea was squatting by the sandbox, helping a little girl braid her hair.
Her fingers moved skillfully through the fine strands of hair, finally tying a light yellow bow.
“Andrea, look!” The little girl with braided hair held up a small mirror, her eyes sparkling.
Andrea was about to respond when she caught sight of a tall figure appearing at the courtyard gate.
