waking

Chapter 217

Naomi’s heart swelled with emotions as Alfred’s warm gaze met hers. She felt an inexplicable pang of sadness as if she might cry at any moment.

She thought she was alone, and her parents had given up on her. However, her elder brother had been searching tirelessly for her for years, never giving up. Alfred looked at her red eyes and panicked, “Don’t cry! If you’re not ready, we can take our time. Don’t cry!

Naomi wiped her tears, bit her lip, and took deep breaths to calm down. It’s just….. I thought I was alone for so long, but someone was thinking of me, remembering me, and never gave up.”

Naomi’s voice trembled slightly. Thank you, my dear brother.”

Alfred’s eyes instantly turned red, saying. It’s all my fault. It took me so many years to find you.”

Jessie watched silently as the siblings reunited, a genuine moment of recognition. She knew Naomi was sincere regardless of her plan and utilization.

Alfred carefully put the bag in front of her and said, “Naomi, this is a gift for you. “I want to give you a lot. But I don’t know what to buy.

This is my accessory card. Here you are. The password is your birthday. By the way, do you know your real birthday?

Naomi replied, “Vera said my birthday was in a swaddle, December 15th. She picked me up in winter.”

Alfred’s heart ached at the thought of his tiny sister being abandoned at the orphanage in the cold winter.

SafeHarbor Children’s Home no longer existed. Alfred and Jessie went there to see it. He walked in, then squatted by the rusty iron bed and cried.

His sister had suffered so much.

If she hadn’t been lost, she would have grown up with boundless love and care. Jessie didn’t persuade him and let him finish crying.

Alfred said, “Your birthday is November 22nd. I will celebrate your birthday every year from now on.”

Jessie added, “Ivy was brought back to the Edwards family on November 22nd.”

Naomi had heard many things about Ivy and was very calm. She said, “I see. Thank you, Alfred.”

Alfred wiped his red eyes and said, “Naomi, I will give you whatever you want. If Shawn treats you badly, just tell me. Although I have broken away from the Edwards Group, I can still protect and support you.

“I’ll give you whatever you want.

“If I don’t have it, I’ll find a way to get it for you.”

Naomi couldn’t help laughing, and the tears she had just managed to hold back began to fall again.

She hurriedly lowered her head, picked up the water, and drank it in one gulp. When she looked up again, her eyes were red but more determined.

When she didn’t have family, she could be alone. Now that she had family, she would not shrink back.

“Alfred, let’s admit our relationship.” Naomi said word by word, “Tell everyone that I am your sister. Publish the paternity test results as well.”

Alfred nodded immediately, “Okay. I’ll post it right away.”

Naomi poured herself a glass of water and sipped it. She glanced quietly at the last row of the restaurant, where there was a large pot of green plants, and Ivy was sitting there wearing sunglasses.

Ivy didn’t go to work and just followed her and Jessie for a whole day.

She always lived a reckless and unrestrained life. She could do whatever she wanted.

Alfred took his phone and posted it on all social media accounts, with pictures of the paternity test and Naomi.

The text read, [My sister, Naomi.]

As soon as he posted, Jessie immediately arranged a large number of retweets. The Edwards family immediately knew it.

Alfred posted an Instagram, and Ivy saw it first.

Ivy’s eyes behind her sunglasses turned gloomy and harsh as she clenched her nails into her palms, repeatedly checking her Twitter account.

Alfred’s high–profile recognition of her sister made her position awkward. Everyone guessed what was going on, and some media began to make up stories. based on the speculation. There were all kinds of versions.

The Edwards family was stunned, especially Lesley.

Holding her phone, she looked at the content of Alfred’s Instagram in disbelief. She clicked on those paternity tests, read them word by word, and then carefully stared at Naomi’s photos.

Alfred sent a photo of Naomi without makeup, who looked quite different from her appearance in the black wedding dress

eyes

Without her makeup, Naomi’s big round almond eyes looked exactly like Lesley’s. Her features and face were more like hers.

Lesley sat on the sofa, thinking carefully about her first encounter with Naomi and how she treated him.

Lesley’s mind went blank. She wanted to call her husband but couldn’t make any sound.

Meanwhile, Rodney was bombarded with phone calls from friends and relatives. Everyone was asking him if he had found his daughter.

Previously, Philip had introduced Naomi to many relatives to her at a banquet. At that time, except for Jessie and Alfred who had been looking for Naomi and paid attention to her appearance while wearing makeup, others thought Naomi was beautiful and cute.

With Alfred’s numerous updates and Jessie’s coordination of the pushers, it became nearly impossible for the Edwards family not to be informed.

As for Philip, he kept calling Alfred to find out. But Alfred didn’t answer any of hist calls and directly turned off his phone.

Philip couldn’t get through to Alfred, so he called Naomi directly, as they had previously discussed cooperation and exchanged contact information.

Naomi stared at Philip’s phone number and finally answered it. “Hello?” Philip paused and then asked slowly, “Ms. Edwards, is what my brother posted.

true?”

Naomi smiled and said, “If you believe it, it is true. If you don’t, it is fake.”

Philip was silent again and said after a while, “What about you? Did you know about this already?”

“No.” Naomi said indifferently, “If I had known it earlier, my past life would not have been so hard. If you have nothing else to say, I’ll hang up.”

Philip didn’t know what to say, so Naomi hung up.

Immediately after, Duncan called her. Naomi still answered the phone. Duncan apologized after a moment of silence.

Naomi was amused, “I don’t even know you. Why do you say sorry to me? I only know Alfred.”

Then Naomi hung up the phone.

She only knew Duncan’s attitude after hearing his apology.

She heard from Jessie that Duncan was obsessed with art and didn’t care about anything, but he loved Ivy the most.

Alfred first told Duncan about Naomi’s identity, but Duncan chose Ivy instead of her.

Naomi wasn’t upset.

She knew that sometimes, blood ties meant nothing compared to shared experiences.

But sometimes, blood was crucial. Javier and Victoria adopted her and spent years together, but they regarded her as a blood supply kit.

Naomi lowered her eyebrows. She didn’t turn off her phone and even went online to read the trending topic.

There were many comments under her post. Most of them were curious and some scolded her, most of whom were Ivy’s fans.

And Ivy used to be on her fan list.

Naomi didn’t care. She took a photo of the gift Alfred gave her and posted it with a message, [After twenty years of loneliness, I finally have a brother. From now on, there will be two people who love me.]

She tagged Shawn.

The first person who loved her was Shawn.

After her post, her comic fans appeared. If Ivy’s fans scolded her, they would scold her back.

[Why should Ivy’s fans scold Elf? She stole our Elf’s life. Elf didn’t say anything. What are you guys jumping around for?]

[You want everyone to know Ivy is a thief, right?]

[They are both orphans. Ivy lives so happily in place of Elf. The first person who loves our Elf turns out to be Shawn.]

[To be honest, the Edwards family didn’t show up when Elf was in the most difficult time. If it were me, I would never forgive them.]

[Elf has Mr. Fischer. With Mr. Fischer, she doesn’t need the Edwards family.] [Who knows what Naomi did? She didn’t look like a decent woman when she hugged Mr. Edwards before, and now she made him her brother. So disgusting.] [I suggest your father do a paternity test with you in case he doesn’t know that he raised the child for someone else.]

[Is Ivy dead? Show me the paternity test of you and the Edwards family.]
