Chapter 192
Rosalind was gobsṛnacked.
She popped the remaining cupcake onto the plate, and looked at Eileen seriously, “I’m from the Robert family”
The Robert family?
Eileen paused, mulling it over before asking, “Any relatives from the Howard family?”
“The Howard family?” Rosalind frowned, deep in thought.
After a while, she shook her head, “Nope.”
Eileen pressed on, “What about the Roach family?”
Again, Rosalind shook her head.
Eileen nodded, not asking further.
Rosalind looked at the confused girl, hesitated, then asked, “Do you feel like…”
Eileen looked at her.
Despite her words trailing off, Eileen understood what she meant.

At that moment, Rosalind stared into the girl’s eyes, whispered, “What’s your last name?”
Eileen didn’t hide the truth, “I’m currently part of the Lopez family, but originally from the Howard family. My father’s name is Nathan Howard.”
Rosalind started to ponder again.

Could she be…her daughter?
“Sweetie,” Rosalind tried to control her pounding heart, swallowed hard, asked with difficulty, “How old are you?”
Eileen paused, “Nineteen.”
Rosalind asked again, “When’s your birthday?”
“I’ll be
