“Oh, I recall you mentioning earlier that this resort has nothing to do with Bailee, right?” Eileen began to
withdraw the card. “If that’s the case...”
If the resort really had nothing to do with Bailee, then she would not offer the Baker family so much.
Realizing Eileen was about to retract her generous offer, Winona reluctantly swallowed her pride. “No, we're all
family here. I just spoke without thinking earlier.”
“That's not something you can speak casually about. If Bailee isn’t considered part of your family, then we'll
gladly welcher back into ours.” Eileen had observed the other ladies gossiping about Bailee, aware that
Winona had been saying bad things about Bailee to them. She wouldn't let it slide today.
“Bailee and Huey are married. You can’t just take Bailee back to your family.” Someone chuckled, attempting to
diffuse the tension.
Another quickly chimed in, “Exactly, it was just a jest. Bailee is the daughter-in-law of the Baker family, and we
all recognize her as such.”
Eileen smiled, her gaze intently fixed on Winona.
Winona hesitated, struggling to speak up.

further, nudging Bailee toward Eileen.
Winona hastily said, “When did | ever not acknowledge her? You...”
“So, you acknowledge her as a member of the Baker family?” Huey pulled Bailee closer to him and said, “Then,
Eileen, Bailee is my wife. | can't just let you take her away.”

It was intended to be a casual comment, mostly to help Winona save face. Yet, Winona couldn't help feeling
angry. She shot a quick look at Eileen, her frustration held back as she averted her eyes.
Eileen hadn't originally planned to meddle in Bailee’s personal issues. Her firm attitude could easily give off the
idea that she wanted to force Huey to be with Bailee. However, today, she couldn't just stand by and let Bailee
be treated like that.
Eileen set the business card down with a smile before returning to sit next to Ruby. Ruby's face creased with a
frown. She let out a soft sigh before saying, “Eileen, | am sorry to have burdened you again.”
“What are you talking about? We're family; you didn’t burden me.” Eileen looped her arm through Ruby's. “Mom,
Bailee has her own ideas. We agreed last tthat we would support her, didn’t we?”
Now, Bailee was set on going ahead with IVF, hoping that having a baby would earn Winona’s full acceptance. If
Ruby showed she felt for Bailee, it would only undermine Bailee’s determination.
“l know, I'm just being emotional with
you. | won't mention any of this to
Bailee,” Ruby said with a soft syife.
