The True Heiress is the Reserved Fiancé's Exclusive Memory

She didn’t look happy, and neither did Caiden Ward. He smiled and asked Maeve, "Where’s the witch?"

"There." Maeve pointed her fair finger towards Lydia Williams, tilting her head with a serious expression, "It’s her, Uncle Ward, you forgot? She pinched me so hard last time. Such a mean woman."

Caiden Ward burst into laughter, his eyes bright and uninhibited.

He was Koa Jackson’s cousin, holding a vast enterprise in his hands at a young age, always the one being praised.

Lydia Williams is Koa Jackson’s stepmother. Her means of entering the family weren’t exactly honorable. Because of her, Koa Jackson stayed abroad for many years. Naturally, Caiden Ward didn’t like her much since childhood.

He couldn’t care less about being considerate when speaking or acting. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

While he didn’t bother, the other members of the Ward Family behind him had to consider the consequences. Madam Ward was the first to glare at him, "How can this child speak like that?"

"Mom, children speak without restraint." Caiden Ward curled his lips, gave her a look, and still spoke carelessly.

Madam Ward: "..."

After a while, she scolded, "I’m not talking about Maeve; I’m talking about you! You’re an adult, yet you have no manners."

Caiden Ward was stunned for a moment, smiled at her, and didn’t say anything.

He has always been quite filial to his parents, and his nickname as a smiling fox in business wasn’t for nothing.

Caiden Ward loves to smile, and his smiles always make him seem very... harmless.

When he smiles, Madam Ward doesn’t feel like talking anymore.

After all, he’s her own son. Compared to outsiders like Lydia Williams, she was naturally inclined to side with her child a little more. Scolding him briefly was enough; on such a day, it was better to argue less. No need to get worked up.

Madam Ward stopped talking, leaving Lydia Williams to begrudgingly swallow the loss. As an elder, it wasn’t proper to argue with two young ones.

Caiden Ward didn’t look at her anymore and went straight to Mia Ginger’s side.

Maeve reached towards Mia Ginger and said, "Sister Mia, hug me. It’s been so long; I’ve missed you so much!"

The little girl’s face was always chubby and round, with a touch of baby fat, making her look even more pink and cute, just...

Mia Ginger looked at her size and said helplessly, "Sister probably can’t carry you anymore."

Well.

She’s only twenty and a half; Maeve is six and a half.

Who has ever seen a six-year-old child always being held?

Previously, when she was with Maeve, she usually held her hand. She remembered Ivy Cox seemed to do the same. Only Louis Cox, with his height and strength, mostly carried the girl, and she liked it.

But—

Even Louis Cox wasn’t holding her all the time.

Yet Caiden Ward was indeed holding her anytime, giving her extraordinary treatment.

Treating her like a princess...

Mia Ginger gave Caiden Ward a speechless look, quietly muttering, "Aren’t you spoiling her too much? What happens when one day she has to leave you? A six-and-a-half-year-old shouldn’t be held all the time."

She’s younger than Caiden Ward, but now that she’s married to Koa Jackson, technically, she’s Caiden Ward’s... sister-in-law.

Talking to him felt a little awkward; no address seemed right.

After thinking for a while, she just called him "you."

Caiden Ward didn’t mind, smiled, and said, "As long as she doesn’t leave, it’s fine."

"What kind of talk is that? You can’t take care of her for your whole life, with no relationship or ties." Mia Ginger stared at him.

Caiden Ward was unconcerned and replied, "Why not?"
