Stacey pondered for a while before finally setting her phone down. In truth, how Theodore was. doing now, whether he was doing well or not, and his situation with Jenny seemed not to affect her anymore. She felt indifferent about it all. Lillian and Kevin were still asleep, so she carefully got out of bed without waking them. After tidying up, Stacey went out of the room. As soon as she arrived downstairs, Debra eagerly pulled her aside to share the latest “good news” about Theodore. Stacey was amused. “Mom, I already know. However, how he’s doing now has nothing to do with me. I’m no longer interested in his life.”

Hearing this, Debra was taken aback. She then looked at Stacey and beamed with joy. “That’s right. It’s all in the past. We don’t need to dwell on it.” Debra grew even happier as she said this. Stacey’s indifference toward Theodore showed that she had truly moved on from him. “By the way, Christmas is coming soon. You mentioned it to Hay before. How’s your plan to invite Mr. Fraley to Zentiscape coming along? If the timing works, I think inviting Mr. Fraley to Zentiscape during Christmas would be great. It will be so lively then. I’m sure he would fall in love with Zentiscape,” Debra said with a smile.

Stacey nodded and answered, “Yes, I think so too. But it depends on Mr. Fraley’s schedule and also Hayden.” Thinking of Hayden, Stacey could not help but think of Jeremy. She wondered how he was doing and hoped he was not making a fuss now that she was gone.

Debra seemed to have thought of something. Smiling, she inquired, “By the way, isn’t Jeremy due to be discharged from the hospital in about half a month?”

Stacey nodded. “Yes.”

Debra’s face brightened as she said, “So, when Jeremy comes back, he’ll be able to start practicing speaking and become like a normal child, won’t he?”

Speaking of this, Stacey felt happy as well. “It should be. If his recovery goes well, the doctor said there shouldn’t be any issues.”

“There definitely won’t be any problems. Jeremy is such an adorable child. He’s bound to be blessed with good luck,” Debra remarked cheerfully.

Stacey nodded in agreement. Just as she finished speaking with Debra, Charlie called her on video. Excitedly, he shared how Theodore had been set up by Jenny. Stacey found it amusing and listened patiently until he finished, then told Charlie she no longer cared about Theodore’s affairs.

Charlie was momentarily stunned but then smiled with satisfaction. He pondered, ‘Stacey not caring is a good thing. If she doesn’t care about Theodore’s situation or has no interest in the drama surrounding him, it means he no longer holds any place in her heart, not even as a source of -hatred. That scumbag Theodore doesn’t deserve Stacey’s time or energy, not even for hatred.‘

Charlie asked, suddenly shifting to a serious tone as he spoke. “By the way, Stacey, Christmas is approaching. The year–end entertainment ceremony is coming up. Given that you’ve had two hit shows this year, you’ll definitely be invited. If you’re lucky, you might even win an award. Do you want to attend?”

Hearing this, Stacey was stunned. She hadn’t taken on any projects in the entertainment industry for over half a year, not because she lacked offers, but because she had told Lynn that she wanted to focus on managing Hoggard Technologies. As a result, Lynn hadn’t bothered her with matters relating to the entertainment industry during this time.

With the year nearing its end, the annual entertainment ceremony was just around the corner. It was the most prestigious event in the industry, where artists were ranked and awarded, and winning an award was a major point of pride for many. Charlie was an award–winning actor, and Janet was an award–winning actress. Both of them had received their accolades from this event.

“Why don’t you attend, Stacey? No matter what, you’ve worked hard for so long, and your two shows were huge hits. If you win an award, you’ll get to go on stage to accept it. Plus, you’ll have the chance to promote the L&K Group as well,” Charlie said with enthusiasm.

Stacey pondered, “The L&K Group?‘ Thinking of Charlie’s entertainment company, she felt her heart soften. She agreed, saying, “All right, I’ll make some time and attend.”

“Great! I’ll ask Lynn to arrange it for you,” Charlie said immediately.

“Okay,” Stacey replied with a smile. After confirming with Charlie and hanging up, Stacey felt unreal. As she recalled the past year, it seemed like time had flown by. She hadn’t anticipated the year passing so quickly and wondered, ‘Could it be that happiness and a carefree life really make time seem to fly by?‘ As Stacey pondered this, her mood lifted once more.

Half an hour later, Bryce called to update her on Theodore’s situation. Adrian was the last to call. He didn’t say much and simply wished her well. Hearing that she no longer cared about Theodore, Adrian felt genuinely happy.

However, toward the end of the call, Stacey heard a child’s voice. Adrian quickly lowered his voice and said a few brief words to Stacey before hastily ending the call. Stacey felt both amused and helpless. However, deep down, she couldn’t help but secretly wish for Adrian’s happiness, hoping that his and Isabella’s relationship would go smoothly and that he would win her affection. Stacey also hoped that Adrian would soon find evidence to clear Carly’s name and overturn the case. After hearing Isabella and Carly’s story, Stacey could not help but feel deep sympathy for them, knowing they had endured so much suffering.

After hanging up the phone, Stacey realized the day was starting to break. She hurried back upstairs, remembering that Lillian and Kevin were still asleep. In the second–floor bedroom, Lillian and Kevin had woken up. The two were sticking out their bottoms and struggling to climb down from the bed. Seeing this, Stacey knew she had arrived just in time and quickly went over. Kevin saw her and was immediately overjoyed. “Mommy!

Hearing Kevin call Stacey, Lillian turned around immediately. She was in the process of climbing down the edge of the bed, but as she turned her head, she ended up tumbling down due to her weak strength. However, upon seeing Stacey, Lillian was not upset. She quickly got up and ran toward Stacey, calling, “Mommy.”

Stacey picked Lillian up and then pinched Kevin’s cheek as he came over. “When did you two wake up?”
