"I don’t feel wronged." Joanna choked back her tears, raised her head, and looked at the man beside her wiping away her tears, then at the concerned face of the old lady. A warm stream filled her heart, and it felt warm.
She said emotionally, "I just feel so happy. Grandma, you treat me so well, just like my real grandmother. I just thought of my maternal grandmother, so I couldn’t help crying."
After the first time Ashton Heath brought Joanna back to Heath Villa, Madam Heath had someone investigate her background.
Even though she believed in her grandson’s judgment, marriage is a serious matter, so she had to make sure Joanna was a decent person.
Of course, she also found out that Joanna’s maternal grandmother had passed away a long time ago.
Her mother had also passed away early on.
Seeing the young girl with tears in her eyes, thinking of her own grandmother, Madam Heath felt even more affection and pity for her.
Madam Heath touched her head and softly coaxed her: "Good child, so you were thinking about your grandmother. Don’t cry. She must be doing well now, enjoying her time in heaven. From now on, you have Grandma to love you."
Ashton didn’t expect that she was crying for this reason.
He also remembered that both Joanna’s maternal grandmother and mother had passed away. Thinking of his little wife’s hardships over the years, he couldn’t help but hold her tightly in his arms, comforting her like a child: "Baby, don’t cry. Although your grandmother has left you, there are still others who love you."
"From now on, you will always be this happy."
"I will always be by your side, never letting you feel lonely or sad again."
Madam Heath saw the young couple so in love and smiled contentedly.
At the dinner table...
Brandon Heath, who was completely absorbed in his work and still single, witnessed the heartwarming scene between his younger brother and sister and felt a bit uncomfortable.
He couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was off.
He just felt it was a bit unpleasant to the eye.
His brother, Ashton, used to be a very different person.
No matter how beautiful a woman was, he wouldn’t spare her another glance.
Not to mention publicly displaying such affection.
Hearing his brother’s gentle words to Joanna, Brandon felt very unaccustomed, extremely unaccustomed.
If he hadn’t seen and heard it with his own eyes and ears, he wouldn’t have believed that his brother, who had never been interested in women, would now treat his wife so lovingly and tenderly.
Is the power of love really that strong?
It can change a person so much.
He didn’t want to fall in love or experience the taste of love because he felt it was troublesome.
He wouldn’t waste time on things he considered meaningless.
"Brandon, are you feeling envious?"
Lost in his thoughts, Brandon suddenly heard Madam Heath mention him. So, he snapped back to reality and looked up at her.voice: "Grandma."
Madam Heath looked at her outstanding and perfect grandson and felt a bit worried when thinking about how he was still single: "If you’re envious of your brother, you should also find a good and gentle wife for Grandma soon."
"As long as you two settle your lifelong affairs, Grandma will have nothing to worry about."
He said with a headache, "Grandma, I have something to do, I’m going to the study for a while."
Every time he returned, Madam Heath would bring up the topic of marriage.
Brandon was extremely annoyed and helpless about that matter.
