Chapter 251
When Penelope got back to the Flanagan Manor, Margo sauntered over, “Miss Flanagan, Allison has moved out”
Penelope looked surprised, “She moved out?”
She made her way to the balcony door, pushed it open, and saw the back cottage was locked up.
She went upstairs to the study to find Leah, “Mom, why didn’t you stop Allison from leaving?”
“Why would I stop her?” Leah responded, “She has her own life, and we can’t interfere Plus, we still have Grace, what’s there to worry about?”
Penelope walked over, I’m just worried that with her out of our sight, unpredictable things might happen.”
Unpredictable things? Penelope, sort out your own mess first.”
Penelope, not wanting to upset Leah, went over and clung to her arm, “Mom, don’t worry I’ll handle it. I promise
“That’s good.” Leah nodded, looking at her daughter. She was perfect in every way, except she was impulsive and didn’t think about the consequences of her actions. Leah had spoiled her too much.
As for Allison, Leah was growing to dislike her more and more. Allison looked just like Penelope, but she was Grace’s daughter Grace had always overshadowed Leah in every way. Whenever they were together, most of the attention was on Grace.
Although Leah was the daughter of a prestigious family, while Grace came from humble beginnings, Leah always felt like she was living in Grace’s
shadow.
And now it was happening with her daughter too. Penelope and Allison looked alike, but Allison surpassed her in every way. Even though Grace’s family lived in a humble house, Grace’s daughter Allison was always excellent, which was hard to accept for Leah.
“Penelope, invite Lucian and Miranda over for dinner in the next few days, let’s strengthen the bond between our families.”
Penelope had her own plan. She couldn’t get Lucian to see her alone as he was always busy with work.
So she called Miranda, who immediately agreed, “Sure, let’s do Wednesday. Lucian and I will come over.”
“Great, Miranda. I’ll prepare the meal for you guys.”
Miranda was very concerned about the baby Penelope was carrying, “Take care of yourself. Why did you rush out of the hospital? You could have stayed a few more days. How’s your health now? Anything feeling off?” After all, the baby in her belly was a Lindberg.
“Miranda, I’ve got my meds to prevent a miscarriage. The doctor said I just need to rest at home” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
On Wednesday afternoon, Miranda called Lucian, “Lucian, are you free tonight?”
The man glanced at his watch, “Hmm, what’s up, Mom?”
“Come with me to the Flanagan Manor, I haven’t seen Penelope in a while. You too, you don’t visit much.”
“Mom, you go ahead”
“Aw, come on, isn’t Penelope your fiancée? She’s carrying your baby, I can’t just go alone” Miranda sensed her son’s hesitation. She started to wonder if Lucian was neglecting Penelope because of Allison.
After some insistence from Miranda, Lucian agreed.
At 6:25 pm, a black business sedan pulled up in front of the Flanagan Manor.
