Chapter 94

A cold glint flashed in Evelyn's eyes before she quickly replaced it with a gentle smile. "Not bad."

Victoria nodded approvingly. "Theodore has always been sensible since childhood. Now that he's successful in his career, he's a perfect match for our Evelyn."

She had watched Ethan Sullivan grow up and couldn't be more satisfied with the young man.

At least he was far better than her own troublemaking sons!

Theodore scoffed. "He's barely passable as Evelyn's boyfriend."

Sebastian and Julian immediately chimed in. "Just barely."

Victoria shook her head helplessly. "You boys..."

Their devotion to their sister bordered on absurd.

Ever since Evelyn was found after seventeen years missing, they'd wanted to give her the world.

To them, their sister was the brightest star in the sky, the rarest treasure on earth.

Even if Ethan was the youngest billionaire with striking looks and poise, he was merely adequate in their eyes.

Warmth flooded Evelyn's chest.

Over time, she had gradually let her guard down.

The Langleys' love wasn't superficial—it showed in every small gesture.

The thoughtful surprises, the unconditional support—all of it made her feel truly cherished.

"Dad, Mom, brothers... thank you," she murmured, her eyes glistening.

Victoria froze.

Tears welled up instantly, but no words came out.

Even the usually composed Sebastian had reddened as he carefully pulled his sister into an embrace. "We should be the ones thanking you."

His arms trembled slightly, as if struggling to contain his emotions.

As the second son, Sebastian's upbringing hadn't been easy.

Their eldest brother Alexander had been groomed as the heir, subjected to strict expectations. The entire Langley household had been bound by rules and discipline.

It wasn't until the twins Julian and Nathaniel were born that laughter finally filled the home.

With the arrivals of Dominic and Theodore, the family grew even larger.

But Victoria had always carried one regret—she'd wanted a daughter.

If not for that longing, she wouldn't have borne six sons.

When the doctor announced her seventh pregnancy was a girl, the entire Langley family had erupted in joy.

Sebastian would never forget that moment—when his parents told him he'd have a little sister, his heart had swelled with exhilaration.

Even baby Theodore's first word had been "sister."

They poured all their love into this unborn child.

Yet fate played a cruel trick—their baby girl was stolen the day she was born.

Seventeen long years passed before they found her again.
