NOVPUBChapter 1144: 521 Lord Life_1 Chapter 1144: 521 Lord Life_1 “There are many people in the world who look alike, does that mean they’re all father and son?” Kelly Martinez sneered, her tone laced with sarcasm.
Although her words were impolite, they did relieve the awkwardness at hand.
Esther sighed with relief and said with a smile, “It’s because my dear Alexander is fortunate to know such a brilliant person like you.
If he could have even one-tenth of your talent in the future, I will be truly relieved.”
“What’s so great about him?
Alexander could be even better.”
Esther glanced at Kelly Martinez, her smile a bit awkward.
Even she, his own mother, wouldn’t dare make such bold statements.
“Everyone has their own path to tread, I believe, Alexander’s future will lead to a wide-open world.”
Violetta Gartia didn’t lift her head, continuously feeding Alexander fish with an extremely gentle and careful manner.
...
Kelly Martinez huffed slightly.
Esther smiled and said, “We’ll hold you to that blessing, then.”
Kelly finished her meal and left quickly with Aubree Groove, a sense of urgency as if there were pressing matters to attend to.
Violetta Gartia promptly took her leave as well.
Esther stood at the door, watching Violetta’s receding figure and felt that something was off.
He already has a fiancée, I suppose the wedding won’t be too far off, hopefully, there won’t be any complications at this stage?
Isn’t he supposed to be a decent man?
However, she could perceive an extremely odd atmosphere between him and Ms.
Martinez.
Esther, carrying Alexander in her arms, stroked his little face and furrowed her brows slightly.
The more she looked at his eyebrows and eyes, the more they resembled those of her senior, which made her uneasy.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it seems like she’ll have to keep some distance from him in the future.

Lantern Festival on the fifteenth, eating tangyuan.
In the evening, there will be a grand lantern and fireworks event in Cornellia Park, Kelly Martinez dragged Aubree Groove to join in early.
Aubree usually disliked lively events but unable to resist Kelly, she could only accompany her. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Upon arrival, they found the place more lively and bustling than they had imagined, there were giant dragon lanterns stretching like large serpents, twelve zodiac lanterns standing several meters tall, and a myriad of different lanterns on display which was dizzying to behold.
Amid the thronging crowd, the reflection of the brilliant lanterns in the moat created a wavy, romantic, and sentimental scene.
Considering Aubree is now rather famous, Kelly bought two fox masks to cover their faces, coupled with Aubree’s ethereal white clothes, it added a mysterious and charming beauty.
“From now on, I can’t address you as Aubree, what shall I call you?”
Kelly’s eyes darted around, “Look at this sky, the stars are like rain, why not I call you Callista?”
As Aubree walked among the noisy crowd, suddenly, her steps faltered.
Among the surging crowds coming and going, she stood still, wind fluttering her sleeves, like she was lost in another world.
“They have riddles.” Kelly excitedly pulled Aubree over to the riddle alley.
The owner called out, “Just crack our riddles, and you can pick any lantern.”
This lantern shop was the most popular, mainly because its lanterns were the most exquisitely beautiful, but their riddles were the hardest to crack.
Kelly pointed at a phoenix flower lantern in the center, “I want that one.”
The owner said with a smile, “That one is the king of our lanterns.
If you can answer all our riddles within three minutes, you can take that Phoenix Flower Lantern.”
Kelly smirked, “Isn’t that easy?”
Sighs came from all around, “Young lady, don’t boast.
Many have tried and failed.
Do you really think you can do it?”
Kelly grabbed Aubree’s hand, “This person by my side is a genius.
She can solve anything.”
Aubree helplessly withdrew her hand.
Everyone’s eyes fell on the woman in white.
Hidden behind the mask, her real appearance was a secret.
Her silhouette was slender and tall, her clothes flowed, making her seem otherworldly like a fairy coming out of a painting, causing awe among the spectators.
“Callista, I really like that Phoenix Flower Lantern, can you help me?
Just this once, please?” Kelly pulled on Aubree’s sleeve, pleading softly.
Aubree glanced at the lavish and exquisite phoenix flower lantern, and said, “Okay.”
Under her mask, Kelly Martinez’s lips curved into a large grin.
“Boss, my sister is ready to unleash her talent.
Your Phoenix Flower Lantern is soon to be ours.”
The owner looked at Aubree with a proud smile, “Go ahead.”
“Wait a moment.” A clear voice came from the crowd.
A petite young lady pushed her way through.
