Chapter 681
The two of them drove, with their children, around the pleasant mountain road, towards the brightly lit villa halfway up the mountain.
"Mummy, did great-grandmother agree to let you stay with Father?" The two little fellows were very happy, because they could eat with their parents again.
"I don't know!" Felicity was also worried, afraid that the situation would become even worse than she imagined.
The two little fellows had no choice but to sulk.
Reaching the mountainside, Felicity was not unfamiliar to this place, where she and Edward had quarrelled over the issue of the children's custody before.
At that time, Edward was as arrogant as a dictator. He ignored her and wanted to snatch the two children away from her.
When he thought of the arguments that had happened long before, no matter how infuriated he was at that time, now he considered it as such an interesting memory.
Reaching the living room, Felicity saw the old lady sitting on the sofa with a stern expression.
Edward took the two children and walked to her side, and winked at the two little fellows.
"Grandmother..." The two little fellows immediately stuck to her in their childish voices, and each grabbed one of the old lady's arms.
Although the old lady still wanted to keep a straight face, she couldn't hold it back anymore when she saw the two adorable kids.
She couldn't help but reveal a kind smile, "I thought you were going to abandon your great- grandmother, you heartless brat!"
"How could that be? Great-grandmother was is kind to us, we didn't even have time to love you!" Abraham's sweet mouth made the old man quite happy.
The old lady's face lit up. Old people were the ones who couldn't do anything about children.
Felicity stood at the door and looked at the old lady hesitantly, she did not know whether she should speak or not.
The old lady was amused by the two little fellows. She then looked towards Felicity, "Come over and sit as well."
Felicity could only walk over lightly and sit down on the sofa.
The old lady sighed, "At first, I didn't want to see you again for the rest of my life, but I really don't want to part with these two little guys. So, from now on, come over and eat together."
Felicity's beautiful eyes flashed, and they looked at each other, Edward's lips curled up into a happy smile.
"Thank you, great-grandmother. I love you so much!" Arya immediately pouted and kissed the old lady's face.
The old lady knew that the two little fellows wished for Felicity to come over for dinner as well, "Thank you, lady…" Felicity was also extremely grateful.
However, the old lady coughed unnaturally, "I only agreed to let you come up for dinner, I didn't promise you anything else."
"I know!" Felicity was still very happy. After removing the first forbidden technique, she could look forward to the second trial. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Actually, she knew that the old lady was not bad, but her personality was too stubborn.
Felicity did not hate her either, because her own father had indeed hurt the Hughes Family.
At least the old lady did not get her out of Hughes Family, and at least she was not restricted from interacting with her children.
Felicity was already very grateful to her.
"Let's eat!" The old lady took the two children's hands and walked towards the table.
Edward said: "I will go upstairs and pick Grandfather downstairs!"
The old tutor had been sitting on his wheelchair the entire time as the weather became cold and it wasn't convenient for him to move his legs.
Edward went up the stairs and found his grandfather in his study. He was reading a book, and after leaving the business circles, the old man loved to cultivate his mental state, and he had long lost his sharpness from back then, becoming more and more benevolent.
"Grandfather, let's go eat!" Edward knocked on the door and came in as he asked softly.
The old man put down the book in his hands, looking at his grandson's joyful expression, and said faintly, "Your grandmother has agreed to let you two stay together?"
Edward raised his eyebrows indifferently, "No, she just agreed to let her come over for dinner."
"This old woman..." The old man couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
Edward saw that his grandfather seemed to take a lighter view of this matter, and hurriedly seized the opportunity to plead him. "Grandfather, help me persuade my grandmother, and let her quickly restore my relationship with Felicity."
"Don't you understand her character? I can't dissuade her." The old man shrugged his shoulders. Perhaps because he was getting on in years, the old man's view of things was a bit weaker than the old lady's.
"Grandfather, have you ever thought that it was you who pampered Grandma to such an extent!" Edward frowned helplessly.
"Your grandma was quite outstanding and unique when she was young. Your father's death gave her a huge impact, so it's better for you to take care of her. I believe that as long as you can hold on for a
while longer, she'll soften her heart." Although he was old, his love for his wife remained the same.
Edward could only smile helplessly, "It's indeed because I understand her that I never dared to make her angry."
"You should treat her like a child now. We're already old, and she won't be able to live for more than a few years!" He truly hoped that his grandson wouldn't bear a grudge in his heart.
Edward nodded: "I will!"
At the dining table, the whole family had finally gathered together once again, but Felicity still did not dare to relax too much.
The old lady suddenly said faintly, "Richard is getting worse and worse. He hasn't come to visit me for so long!"
Edward immediately smiled: "He probably has someone he likes recently. I know that on his Facebook, he often updated some melancholy words."
Felicity who was holding a spoon to drink the soup felt her finger tremble, and the jade spoon fell into her bowl, letting out a ding sound
Everyone looked at her strangely.
Felicity laughed embarrassedly: "My hands are a little sore after taking the brush for an entire day!"
Her explanation did not cause any waves.
The old lady was shocked by Edward's words. Then, with a face full of joy, she asked: "Really? Did you call him? Did he really get a girlfriend?"
"I guess. I called him and he didn't talk to me about it!" Edward said with a smile.
The old lady heaved a sigh of relief. "If he really does have someone he likes, that's great. He's not young anymore. It's time to find a partner."
Felicity's heart was in a state of unease. At this moment, some of the images that flashed through her mind were the words that Richard had confessed to her.
Felicity could not help crying out in her heart, what a bad situation, if the old lady knew about this, the atmosphere, which she had calmed down with great difficulty, would be destroyed again.
No, she had to find a chance to make Richard keep this secret inside his heart forever.
"What's wrong with you? You're distracted by food?" Seeing that she ate as if she was counting grains of rice, Edward immediately asked her in a low voice.
Felicity raised her eyes as if she was frightened, a look of panic flashed across her face, and she immediately started laughing, "I ... I actually ate outside before, so I'm not too hungry yet."
