In Shirling, Alina was in a good mood to see her daughter in the morning, but the phone call from Caleb had some impact.
But by the time she got to Lawson Residence, she was happy.
"Mommy." Alina lovingly kissed Penny's round face, thinking it was simply adorable.
She like her smell too.
"Did you miss me?"
"Yes, Great-grandma said you are so busy at work now and told me to eat and sleep well." The child hugged Alina's neck, constantly rubbing against it.
Alina was tickled, "Come on, don't rub, haha.".
Megan Green brought the last soup to the table and then gently walked towards Alina and said, "Give me the child, I've got some nutritious porridge for you to eat first, and I made you some beef soup for lunch, so you need a good tonic."
"Thanks, Grandma Megan , it's better I hold her." Alina was very polite to Megan.
Megan Green was Grandpa Zane's second wife.
She was also the year that made Alina’s mom and grandma painful, and the reason that grandpa was rarely mentioned when mom and grandma were alive.
What's more, when Grandma passed away, she would rather entrust her to Grandpa Max than her Grandpa.
When Alina learned about it, she also thought that this woman was so bad that she couldn't like this woman.
After all, she caused pain to Grandma and Mom.
But in the past three years, she probably understood why grandpa would divorce grandmother. Alina was polite to her.
However, Megan's presence made her change, little by little.
"Let's eat first, look how thin you are." She wanted to hold Penny, however Penny was habitually reaching towards Megan while eating.
Megan is approaching seventy and is in good health and spoils her child.
"Come on, Penny , we have to have breakfast." Very affectionately, she hugged the child and very carefully placed the child in the chair.
The child was happy, her legs wiggling.
Megan said to Alina, "Penny has changed a lot since you were gone and is now willing to try to eat on her own."
Watching the child not very skilled with a spoon in the bowl, Alina’s eyes are full of doting.
Especially when she opened her mouth to eat, she looked so cute, "Great-grandma, I want to eat that."
Her finger pointed the dish that Megan had made especially for the child's taste.
"Come on, open your mouth."
"And that." The child is just like a foodie.
Looking at the patience and affection for Penny in Megan's eyes, Alina had mixed feelings.
In the kitchen, the cooks do the adult breakfast, but over the years, since Penny has been introduced to complementary foods, Megan has been doing all the work herself.
Even Alina's and Grandpa's food were made by her.
She said that Grandpa is old, so he needs to be careful with his diet. And Alina is also weak, so she needs to be careful.
At the moment, the breakfast table is full of joy.
Zane put Alina's favorite shrimp bun into her bowl and Alina said, "Thank you, Grandpa."
As with Megan, Alina often keeps a polite distance from her grandfather.
She can't be hysterical about her mother and grandmother because of all the hurt they've done, but at the same time she can't seem to do it with complete closeness.
After all, for as long as she can remember things, there has been no grandfather in her world.
In Grandpa's words, only during the time she was born, he held her, and every time he talked about it, he was filled with emotion.
She came back because he was going to marry Emma, but now this man did not do it quickly.
Now to him, Alina does not know what to say to describe, simply annoying .
"It doesn't matter what his attitude is, I'll take care of Grandma’s thing as soon as possible." Speaking of grandmother, the atmosphere stiffened for a moment.
Alina went back to Ingford, it was also because of her Grandma.
Alina subconsciously looked at Megan, who smiled at her, "Go ahead, this has to be cleared up."
Who would have thought that someone would have tampered with Ms. Erica's death?
When she was alive, it doesn't matter what kind of conflict, but when she died, she suffered so much, and that was the most intolerable.
Alina was bound to find out who was behind it.
This time, she wanted to stay with Penny for two days, but now she was scared to watch Caleb come after her, fearing that he would know of the existence of this child.
Back then, when he was so cruel, Alina never thought he would have a chance to be the father of this child.
She hastily ate breakfast.
After a few more words of explanation with her grandparents, Alina left, Andre drove her to the airport.
On the way, Andre gave her the thermos and Alina asked, "What's this?"
"Grandma made beef soup for you."
It occurred to her that Megan had made her beef soup for lunch when she entered the Lawson Residence.
She didn't expect to leave in a hurry, and Megan was careful not to forget to bring it to her.
Looking apprehensively at Andre, she asked, "Will Grandma Megan be uncomfortable inside?"
