Over the years, I'd visited the Bolton Residence plenty of times. Back then, Luke and I were childhood sweethearts. Even though we weren't married, in everyone's eyes, I was the rightful Mrs. Bolton.
Ironically, I did become Mrs. Bolton-but not Luke's. I became Carter's wife.
Carter said casually, "The process of us registering our marriage was rushed. I just informed my family. If today's family dinner seems too simple, I hope you won't mind."
"Of course, Let me push you in."
Maybe it's because, after my death, I became used to the highs and lows of human nature. When even my family and Luke gave up on me, Carter was the only one who genuinely searched for me and even visited Grandma. I had a good impression of him. It wasn't love, but I sincerely wanted to take good care of him.
Maybe it was my way of repaying him for saving me so many times in my previous life. It didn't conflict with my plans for revenge.
Wearing heels, I pushed Carter into the Bolton Estate.
At this time of day, Adam and Luke were at the office. Adam and his stepmother, Sheila Bolton, used to live outside the estate.
But ever since Carter came back, they moved into the Bolton Estate, eating and living with Jeffrey daily, trying to win him over. Today, only Jeffrey and Sheila were home.
When I wheeled Carter inside, Sheila was bent over, pouring tea for Jeffrey, who was sitting in the living room dressed in traditional attire.
Honestly, I couldn't stand Sheila.
She was the woman Adam had been fascinated with his whole life. Years ago, she insisted on marrying into the family despite being pregnant out of wedlock.
Adam felt guilty about it and neglected his wife, who eventually grew despondent and died,
Not long after his wife's death, Adam used the excuse of "true love" to bring Sheila into the family.
Jeffrey couldn't stand Sheila either. But since Adam was already so disappointed, he placed all his hopes on Luke and essentially gave up on Adam.
Sheila adopted Anna, and because Anna disliked me, Sheila treated me poorly too.
Sheila always put on airs, pretending to be high-class, but after marrying into the Boltons, she indulged in the finest food, clothing, and luxuries.
Even though she knew Jeffrey despised her, she still flattered him, afraid he'd leave the inheritance to
Carter instead.

Chapter 96 Can't Wait
Back then, Jeffrey liked me and often mocked Sheila for being uncouth. He'd say that even as Adam's wife, she couldn't hide her background's lack of refinement. A lady from a distinguished family like me was the only one worthy of marrying into the Boltons. Sheila was forever the mistress who would never be accepted, while my marriage into the family represented the Boltons' dignity. I was the true Mrs. Bolton
Because of that. Sheila revented me even more, often teaming up with Anna to make things difficult for
Back then, I tolerated her out of respect for her position as my nominal mother-in-law.
After all, in a family as prominent as the Bolton, any ernal conflict would ultimately harm the family's reputation. Since I was married into the Boltons, it wont reflect well on me either if things got ugly
But in this new life. I had only one goal to let go of city and fully embrace being thameless.

Feigning confusion, I tilted my head slightly. "Who do look like, Grandpa? I've just returned to the country and don't know much about what's been happening here."
"It's nothing." Jeffrey quickly masked his complicated expression.
Judging by his initial stance, he had planned to intimidate me. But the moment he saw my face, he was reminded of the past, and his attitude softened considerably. His gaze no longer held the hostility I had expected. Instead, he took the initiative to explain.
"I heard about you and Carter. Originally, we intended to arrange an engagement first, but since neither of you has objections, we support your decision. Even though the registration was rushed, the proper ceremonies will follow. Our family won't slight you. Oh, and this is your sister-in-law, Sheila."
It was ironic. A woman who had once been my future mother-in-law was now introduced as my sister-in-law. The tangled web of these relationships was almost laughable.
I extended a hand toward Sheila, who still seemed dazed and shaken. "Hello, Sheila. I'm new here, so there's a lot I need to learn. I'll be counting on you for guidance."
Sheila nodded absentmindedly, clearly not yet fully recovered from her shock.
Jeffrey shot her a displeased look. "Go check where everyone is. This is Emma's first visit to our home, and Iwon't tolerate anyone being absent."
"But, Dad, Anna hasn't been feeling well these past couple of days, so she might not...
Jeffrey cut her off with a cold snort. "She's not part of this family anyway. Whether she shows up or not doesn't matter."
Jeffrey had never liked Anna, especially because she and Sheila had meddled in my and Luke's relationship in the past.
Sheila, however, adored Anna and was worried that Jeffrey might disown her daughter entirely. Forcing a smile, she quickly replied, "This is such an important occasion. Anna will be here. I'll go check on things in the kitchen. Please don't neglect Ms. Gardner." "Sheila, there's no need to be so formal. We're all family now," I said, my tone light. "By the way, who is Anna? I'd like to prepare a gift for her since this is my first time here."
Sheila's forced smile tightened. "She's my daughter. There's no need for gifts."
I curled my lips into a faint smile and said warmly, "Oh so she's my niece? With someone as beautiful as you for a mother, I'm sure Anna must be stunning. I can't wait to meet her!" Anna. I couldn't wait to meet you.
