Chapter 222

Tavon wanted to show Salma how much he cared for their daughter. Salma loved Anastasia dearly.

Only when she saw his genuine care for Anastasia would she even consider forgiving him.

Surprised, Salma asked, “Have you seen Anastasia and her husband privately?”

Anastasia had kept her meeting with Tavon a secret from Salma..

With a chuckle, Tavon replied, “Yes, I’ve seen her. You’ve raised Anastasia well, Salma. She even

asked for child support from me, not a lot though. I gave her 280,000, but she only took 140,000.

Anastasia is smart and decisive. She’d do a brilliant job if she could help me run the company.”

Tavon’s praises for Anastasia warmed Salma’s heart and filled her with pride. As for the child support,

Salma was clueless. However, she knew Anastasia always had a reason for her actions and she

wouldn’t question her.

Upon hearing Tavon’s intention to bring Anastasia into the company, Salma was taken aback, “Are you

willing to let Anastasia join your company?”

“She’s my daughter. She should inherit my business. Plus, she’s incredibly talented. I can’t let such

talent go to waste. I want her to help me run the vineyard, and take over sooner.” Tavon said.

Holding Salma’s hand, Tavon said, “Salma, I couldn’t make decisions before, but now I can. I have to

bring Anastasia back to the Morton family. I owe you that. I know you’ve been waiting for me.”

Over the years, Salma had been waiting for Tavon, hoping that Anastasia could see him as her father.

Salma was a traditionalist. Once she chose someone, she would stand by him. As Tavon’s daughter, it

was only right for Anastasia to live with him.

Tavon’s sincere repentance made Salma’s heart waver

“Salma, think about it, and please talk to Anastasia for me. She’s stubborn and only listens to you.”

Worried about Anastasia’s return, Tavon didn’t dare stay long. “Get some rest, I’ll come see you

tomorrow I’m staying at a nearby hotel, here’s my number, call me anytime.”

Salma’s heart had been quiet for over 20 years, but Tavon’s return stirred up her emotions. If Tavon

had been gentle to her from the start, she wouldn’t be so angry. Women were naturally soft hearted. If

a man sweet talked them, they could hardly resist his requests.

Salma had been deceived by Tavon’s sweet nothings all her life, and now she found herself falling for

him again.

After Tavon left, Salma hid the stock transfer documents under her pillow. She was afraid that

Anastasia would see them, and she couldn’t tell her about the house yet, knowing Anastasia too well.

As soon as Tavon left, Anastasia came back with lunch, “Mom, I got us some food. I’ll eat with you.

Herman’s aunt heard about your injury and wanted to visit, but I think you can be discharged tomorrow,

so I didn’t let her come.”

Salma could recover from her injury at home.

Anastasia set up a small table on the bed and laid out the lunch, “You have to stay with me this time.

You need someone to take care of you with your leg in this state. I haven’t started work yet, so I can

take care of you at home.”

Salma couldn’t find a reason to refuse this time, “I’ll move back once my injury heals.”

Anastasia sighed, “Mom, do you feel uncomfortable living with me and my husband? You haven’t even

moved in and you’re already planning to leave.”

Salma replied, “We old folks have a different lifestyle from you young folks. You two should live your

lives. I’d only be in the way at your place.”

Anastasia couldn’t convince Salma, and handed her a fork, “Eat first, then I’ll take you for a walk

downstairs.”

Just as Salma was about to eat, she remembered what Tavon said, hesitated, and asked, “Ana, do you

want to return to the Morton family?”

Hearing this, Anastasia’s face turned serious, “Did Tavon come to see you?”

Only then did Anastasia notice the gifts and flowers under the bed.

“Mom, did he sweet talk you again?”Anastasia spoke calmly, without any accusation. As their child, it

was not her place to comment on her parents’ actions.

Looking at Anastasia’s expression, Salma said, “Your father did come. He wants you to return to the

Morton family and help manage the vineyard. Sandy’s illness is under control. They have time to look

for other suitable donors.”

“What if they don’t find one?” Anastasia looked at Salma, “If I go back to the Morton family, he’ll placate

me first, then when the time comes, he’ll ask me to help Sandy in the name of family. He’ll say I have to

do the bone marrow transplant. If I refuse, he’ll accuse.me of not caring about family. What should I do

then?”
