Although both of the ladies had similar facial features, they underwent drastically different lives that shaped them into two entirely different individuals with contrasting personalities. One of them went through a lot of hardships ever since they were young, which gave them a sharp edge in their personality as well as a piercing gaze. On the other hand, the other twin was born into riches, nor did she experience much hardship throughout life, so she grew into an even-tempered woman with a mellow personality.

When they sat together, it was as if they were looking at their own reflection, but each side of the mirror contained a much different story. Putting the cat down, Anna waved at Anne to call her over, whom she gazed at for some time before putting a smile on her face. “Anne, it’s been a while. You’re all grown up after a year’s time. You’re getting even prettier.”

Smiling amicably, Anne tilted her head while flattering, “That’s not true. You’re the one who’s getting even prettier, Aunt Anna! I wish I could be half as pretty as you!”

Anna shook her head with a smile. In the meantime, both Cade and Callum walked up to them before greeting the woman beside Anna. “Aunt Xena.”

The woman sitting beside Anna was none other than Louis Osborne’s daughter, Xena Osborne, who was also Anne’s mother. While the family got together merrily, Anne was being treated as the princess among the group, but she was constantly leaning against Anna. Halfway through their conversation, Anne couldn’t help but keep on signaling her mother.

Knowing what Anne was trying to say, Xena shook her head in resignation before seizing the chance to tell Anna, “Anna, you’ve finally secured your hold on the Yard Family. The past twenty years have been a tough journey! Nobody expected a family as prestigious as the Yards to fall from grace. We wouldn’t have come to this if the Fletchers had not massacred our family.” Mention of the past made Xena all emotional and teary.

The Yards went from reigning over the country a few hundred years ago to being forced into exile, which led to them dwindling in numbers. Fate hadn’t been kind to them, and it wasn’t until much later that they regained their past glory.
