Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ray’s eyes lit up as she looked at the Walton residence in front of her. It was like a king’s castle in a fairy tale. It was luxuriously decorated, and there was a lawn larger than her school’s football field. It was dazzling, and countless people would be envious of her if she could live here. In the past, when her sister brought her classmates back for her birthday, her sister’s classmates had always marveled at how big and luxurious her house was. All of them followed her sister like worms, and there was no end to their praise. Now that she saw the Walton residence, Ray felt that her father’s house was nothing. Compared to the Walton residence, it was simply a small building by the road in the countryside. If she could live here, she would invite her classmates over for her birthday. She would invite the entire school! No, not only for her birthday, she would bring her classmates back every weekend to play! She really wanted to live here
With this thought in mind, when Ray saw Mrs. Walton, she felt especially close, as if Mrs. Walton was really her Grandma.
“Hello, Mrs. Walton. I’m Mr. Burton’s wife. My name is Lace Burton. This is my daughter, Ray. Ray, quickly greet Grandma Walton.” Ray’s mother greeted Mrs. Walton warmly.
Ray obediently and sweetly shouted, “Hello, Grandma Walton.” She raised the box in her hand high and said cutely, “For you, Grandma Walton. This is a gift that Ray and Mommy picked for you for a long time.”
Lace smiled. “It’s a small gift. A little token of my appreciation. I hope you like it.”
Mrs. Walton’s face darkened. She did not like the mother and daughter in front of her. During the period of Mia’s disappearance, she knew everything the mother and daughter did.
“What are you doing here?” Mrs. Walton said coldly. Hmph, if it weren’t Mia who wanted to see them, she wouldn’t have wasted her breath on them. If she talked to them, she might as well feed General.
Lace smiled gently. “I’m Alex’s sister. I wonder if he’s told you?”
Mrs. Walton said directly, “No, Alex said that he was an orphan. In the past, when his Grandpa, father, and mother passed away, he wanted to go to his relatives, but he didn’t have a single relative.”
Lace’s smile was a little awkward. She forced a smile and sighed. “Alex is still holding a grudge. At that time, my parents I said that I wanted to bring Alex back, but my parents didn’t listen. My grandparents didn’t allow my parents to mention this again, which made Alex suffer so much outside ”
A trace of mockery flashed across Mrs. Walton’s eyes. On second thought, she smiled and said in a sighing tone, “Isn’t that so? Later, when your family held your birthday banquets, after you found out about my son-in-law’s identity, you guys declared him to be your family’s biological grandson. In the end, you were beaten up by my son-in-law. Oh right, were you there?”
Lace flushed. Mrs. Walton sounded like she was casually chatting, but every word she said was heartfelt.
Lace: “At that time, I happened to have something to do and left Buffalo. I wasn’t at my Grandma’s 80th birthday banquet. Otherwise, I would have definitely reasoned with her.”
Mrs. Walton nodded. “You should have reasoned with her. I heard that your parents and Grandma have been beaten back to their hometown by my son-in-law. You’re so filial, why didn’t you accompany them?”
Lace couldn’t even raise her head. She said, “I Ray has to study. There are two children at home. I can’t leave ”
Mrs. Walton came to a realization. “Oh, your Burton family has fallen to this extent? You can’t even afford a governess and nanny, so you need to be the nanby? I was wondering why Harrison Burton didn’t want his first wife and found a younger one. So that’s how it is. You can clearly only be a nanny and get a high salary, but you gave birth to a child for him, and now you’re his nanny for free. It’s been hard on you.”
Ray’s mother:
After Mrs. Walton said this, Lace was ashamed. She quickly pushed the bracelet gift box up and said with a small face, “Mrs. Walton, I heard from Alex that you miss your granddaughter too much and your health isn’t good. That’s why I thought of coming to see you and persuade you to be more open-minded. No matter what, your health is the most important. I believe Mia doesn’t want to see you like this when she comes back.”
Mrs. Walton nodded. “You’re right.”
Lace heaved a sigh of relief and looked sad. “I know how you feel. I’m also a mother. I know too well how it feels to not see my child.”
Mrs. Walton glanced at her and casually threw the gift box on the coffee table, as casually as if it were a packet of biscuits.
Ray immediately said, “Grandma Walton, this is a gift my mother chose for a long time. It’s really beautiful!”
