Chapter 1019
Wayne, he’s got the Silverman family look, with a dash of his birth mom’s features.
Luis’s kids, strange enough, they look more like Wayne’s birth mom than Luis himself.
After a while, Rosalynn spotted Xenia.
Everything in the house was just as it was.
They hadn’t packed their stuff.
It looked like they were ready to bolt at any minute.
Xenia was looking better, much better than before.

Rosalynn even made sure not to come around mealtime, so Xenia had no chance to cook for her.
“I ate a bit too much tonight, mind walking it off with me?” Rosalynn asked politely.
Xenia was a bit taken aback, but she nodded anyway.
“You two little rascals stay put,” Rosalynn said to Steven and Sheila.
Wayne’s place is prime real estate, with commercial areas and good schools nearby.
Night fell, the weather cooled down.
The neighborhood was thick with trees, moonlight seeping through, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
“Where are you planning to go after moving out?” Rosalynn asked.
“Steven found a place, it’s a bit out of the way, but we can afford it,” Xenia replied.
“And after? Once you’re better, what’s the plan?” Rosalynn continued, “You aren’t thinking of going back, are you?”
Xenia was surprised, she instinctively looked at Rosalynn, “The kids need to go back to school…”
“Steven has really pissed off Luis this time. He may be locked up now, but he’ll be out one day,” Rosalynn said
calmly, “The moment you go back, he’ll find you, and find Steven and Sheila. What do you think Luis would do?”
Xenia looked pale.
Rosalynn’s words hit Xenia with blunt force. “Even if he doesn’t come after you, I’ve looked into the schools in your
area. Even if Steven and Sheila excel academically, they won’t be able to secure admission to good schools,”
Rosalynn stated plainly. “Your income won’t be enough to afford quality education.”

Xenia was at a loss for words. After all these years, she was no longer the ambitious girl who believed she could
change her life through education. Life’s struggles and hardships had beaten her down, causing her to forget her
dreams.
“Do you realize how many Ivy League graduates end up being chewed up and spit out by society?” Rosalynn
continued, her tone serious. “Steven may have it slightly easier as a boy, but have you considered the challenges
your daughter will face?”
Tears welled up in Xenia’s eyes.
“You’re a woman, society’s constraints on women are harsh, especially in poor areas. And you should know, in such
places, being pretty isn’t always a good thing.”
Xenia was stunned.
She was reminded of her painful past and the greedy eyes of men over the years.
“Madam, can you tell me what to do?” Xenia’s tears started flowing uncontrollably.
Steven is a real brainiac.
