The mother reached out and touched her head, nodding with satisfaction, "All grown up now, and so beautiful."
"Yes, I didn’t expect that losing weight would make such a big difference," Isabella Gray smiled in response.
Previously, Chloe Grant’s weight had always been around 115 pounds, a bit plump but very cute, looking just like a soft, cuddly little girl.
Now that she’s slimmed down, her double eyelids are more prominent, making her originally small eyes look much bigger, and her features are quite nice too.
Standing over there, she looked graceful and fresh in her beauty.
Looking at Chloe Grant now, Isabella Gray had a feeling of "my girl is finally growing up."
Very gratified, yet very emotional.
Though, she still preferred the slightly chubby Chloe Grant; it was more adorable and more comfortable to hold.
But, she loves her Chloe baby in every way.
"Thank you for taking care of me all these years."
As for Chloe Grant’s appearance, her father, Alex Grant, didn’t comment much, just nodded respectfully to Isabella Gray and sincerely expressed his gratitude.
"No need," Isabella Gray shook her head, "I really like Chloe. Over these years, it’s been more like she was the one accompanying this old lady."
"It’s been Grandma taking care of me," Chloe Grant looked at Isabella Gray with gratitude.
Over the years, Isabella Gray had always taken good care of her, almost fulfilling that yearning for parental presence that a "left-behind child" like her had.
Chloe Grant had always been a left-behind child, cared for by her grandparents since childhood. It was after she turned ten that things changed.
She got a princess room, lovely pink stationery, and pretty clothes.
Chloe Grant had not told Isabella Gray about her leaving.
Facing Isabella Gray now, she felt a deep sense of guilt.
She had an inappropriate relationship with Isabella Gray’s eldest son.
And liked watching her youngest son.
Chloe Grant wondered how disappointed Isabella Gray would be if she knew her thoughts?
How much would she hate her?
Could she ever repay all these years of care?
Right now, Chloe Grant just wanted to leave with her parents, so everything would be covered up, buried.
She admitted she was a coward, but who hasn’t been cowardly in love?
Isabella Gray gave a gentle smile, stood up from the sofa, "You all chat, I’ll head to the kitchen to have dinner prepared, and call the two brothers back as well."
"Uncle Morgan drove me back," Chloe Grant responded instinctively, looking towards the door.
Speaking of which, she had been inside for a while, yet Matthew Morgan still had not come in.
"The young master has left," the servant at the door answered.
"Probably went off to work again; always thinking about work and not his own life," Isabella Gray complained openly.
She waved a hand, indicating she was done talking, then headed towards the kitchen.
After Isabella Gray left, she also instructed the few servants in the living room to go do something else.
Leaving the living room space for the long-missed Chloe Grant and her family of three.
"Come, sit down first," Vann Stern pulled Chloe Grant to sit on the sofa.
Alex Grant looked at Chloe Grant and repeated the question he asked earlier, "Chloe, tell me honestly, did something unpleasant happen while you were in the country? Was it... were you bullied and unable to study properly at school? Or..."
Alex Grant looked around, and in a particularly low voice for the last sentence, "Did you suffer any grievances with the Morgan family?"
He didn’t have any issues with the Morgan family.
After all, ever since he had this connection with the Morgan family, his business overseas had been getting better and better, and his daughter had been well taken care of too.
So, Alex Grant was very grateful to the Morgan family.
