She didn’t sugarcoat her words at all, and Carlos felt hurt.
Miranda continued, “I plan to live in Alorith. Your father will cback as well in two years. In the long run, it won’t do for us to live with you and Debbie. So I’m going to have the old residence revamped and move in there with Evelyn. You can cand see her when you miss her. And if you’re busy, you don’t have to worry about her.”
Carlos and Piggy looked at each other as Miranda spoke.
“You’ve got a point. There is another villa available behind this one. You and Evelyn can live there.”
Miranda joked, “You just want your daughter to be as close to you as possible, don’t you?”

“Okay then, I’ll have it renovated. Once it’s done, Evelyn and I will move in.” Then she turned to Piggy, who was eating breakfast. She asked in a soft voice, “Evelyn, you and I are going to live in the next house. Would you Like that?”
Evelyn swallowed her food and asked, “Can I see Daddy every day?”
Carlos felt warm inside when he heard that, and smiled happily.
“Of course you can, and you can see your mommy too.”
“Okay,” Evelyn agreed in her sweet little voice.
“What an adorable girl! She’s as easy-going as Debbie,” Miranda commented.

Carlos couldn’t find a word to say. He was stumped. It was a scoff from his biological mother.
When he said nothing in reply, Miranda changed the topic and asked,
“How are you going to deal with James and Stephanie?” The smile on her face was replaced by a serious look.
Carlos drank the remainder of the juice that was left in Evelyn’s glass before answering calmly, “There’s no hurry.”
He wouldn’t Let them die peacefully. He wanted to torture them slowly, inch by inch, and exhaust them physically and mentally.
“Uh huh, Fine, I’ll Leave them to you. But be cautious, James is cruel and heartless. He’ll probably try to get his hands on Evelyn. It would be wise to tighten the security around her. She needs more armed
bodyguards,” Miranda suggested. As she thought of the possibility of danger, she decided to stay in the manor for the tbeing until
Carlos finished off James and Stephanie for good. She would then consider whether she should move out or not.
“Yes, I will do that.”
