When Fate Plays Its Hand (Miranda and Hansel) novel Chapter 760

Chapter 0760 

Sam suggested, “With such a sumptuous spread, why don’t we take a group photo since it is Mimi’s first visit?” 

This suggestion was right up the alley for the elderly couple. They hadn’t taken a photo with their granddaughter yet! 

Aren nodded immediately. “Yes, this is definitely an event worth commemorating.” 

Fiona said, “Sam, make sure you take a good picture. We’ll print it later and add it to the album.” 

Sam replied with a smile, “I won’t take the picture. Let’s have Mrs. Groot take it.” 

“Oh, look at me. I forgot you need to be in the photo too…” 

Sam called Bertha Bardot, the housekeeper, over. Miranda stood next to Fiona, smiling as she wrapped her arm around her. Next to Miranda was Sam, then Aren. 

“Is everyone ready?” Bertha asked. 

Fiona nodded. “We’re all set.” 

The camera shutter clicked and captured the moment. The elderly couple looked gentle and kind while Miranda smiled warmly, and Sam had a wide grin on his face. 

Bertha was worried that the photo wouldn’t turn out well and took a few extra shots just to be safe. 

After looking through them, the old couple seemed satisfied with every one. After Bertha returned the phone to Sam, Fiona reminded him, “Make sure you print these photos!” 

“Don’t worry, I’ll remember,” he reassured her. Only then was Fiona satisfied with his reply. 

Sam looked through the photos and couldn’t help but nod approvingly. He suddenly thought that maybe Bertha deserved a raise. 

Then, he took a few photos of the spread on the table before putting the phone away and sitting down to eat. 

After dinner, Miranda kept Fiona company as they watched some television, while Aren took a walk with a long–time neighbor to aid digestion after the meal. 

Miranda could hear Aren’s voice from a distance, booming with pride. “Yes, we found her! She’s living in Lumberville now, married and everything… 

“What does she do? She writes novels, mystery novels… By the way, you have to read the

novel ‘Seven Days,‘ which my daughter wrote… Have you heard of it? That’s great! You should definitely read it! 

“The young woman visiting today is my granddaughter. She’s in graduate school at Bedford College, pursuing academic research… She still hasn’t got a boyfriend yet… Yes, fate has indeed been kind to us…” 

Fiona snorted softly. “Don’t mind him, He never used to visit anyone, but now he meets up with a friend every day since coming back from Lumberville. Even if they’re busy, he insists on getting them to meet up, as if he’s afraid others won’t realize how fulfilled and happy he is now.” 

Miranda was unable to hold back her mirth and stifled a chuckle. 

“See, even you think he’s funny! When I call him out, he just says he’s been holding in his frustration for over 20 years. How could I not let him brag to others for a change?” 

Despite her words, Fiona wanted to show off her happiness too, but she was afraid. She was afraid that her joy might turn into sorrow, and the happiness she had now might vanish like a popped bubble. 

So, she was more reserved in her excitement than Aren, yet she couldn’t help feeling a little envious. 

Miranda gently took her grandmother’s hand. “Grandma, don’t worry. It’s all behind us now. From now on, you can go ahead and brag about your happiness, just like any other grandmother.” 

Fiona hadn’t expected her granddaughter to see through her concerns and worries despite not saying anything to her. 

“Alright then, should I… just be like any other grandmother?” she asked tentatively. 

“Of course!” 

Sam sat on the opposite couch while they were chatting. He seemed to be casually scrolling on his phone, but in actual fact, he was watching Miranda out of the corner of his eye as they chatted and laughed. 

Listening to how Miranda reassured and comforted Fiona, Sam couldn’t stop himself from smiling when he saw how happy his grandmother was. He opened the gallery on his phone and found the group photo they had taken before dinner. 

Miranda was leaning affectionately against Fiona in the photo, her expression warm and gentle. Sam stood right beside her. 

Although they stood very close and appeared inseparable in the photo, only he knew how vast the distance between them truly was.
