"Why call her back? On a happy day, seeing her is such a buzzkill."
Sue Chase instantly lost her smile, clearly showing she didn’t like July Quinn.
Though Henry Ford didn’t say anything, his expression darkened noticeably.
Charles Quinn seed awkward, and Amanda Ford quickly tried to diate: "No matter what, July is still a part of this family. We’re having a family reunion, so naturally she should be included."
Charles Quinn imdiately had a smile again.
Although Amanda Ford didn’t have a good background, her intelligence compensated, especially in the way she handled certain situations with generosity.
This was the reason Charles Quinn married her.
But Amanda Ford’s parents were different; they were full of the petty local temperant.
See, even when Amanda Ford said this, Sue Chase still coldly rejected: "How is she a part of this family? You know full well she..."
"Mom!" Amanda Ford imdiately interrupted her before Sue Chase could finish, quickly implying sothing.
Sue Chase glanced at Charles Quinn, saw his face was very grim, and then held back.
The atmosphere suddenly felt a bit delicate; Nina Quinn felt as if they were playing a guessing ga.
"Mom, it’s settled then. Later on, Quinn will contact July."
Amanda Ford arranged, then instructed Nina Quinn: "Nina, take your grandparents to the guest room upstairs to rest."
Nina Quinn followed Amanda Ford’s request and took Henry Ford and Sue Chase to the guest room upstairs.
Usually, she didn’t like to stay with her poor-looking grandparents, and would use the excuse of having schoolwork or sothing to retreat to her own room.
But today, Nina Quinn stayed behind and even obediently helped Henry Ford and Sue Chase unpack their luggage.
"Our Nina has truly grown up."
Henry Ford couldn’t help praising.
Sue Chase quickly rummaged through her luggage and took out so pastries.
"Nina, stop fussing. These, Grandma will organize later herself. Co and try the osmanthus cake Grandma made for you."
She had personally made these osmanthus cakes and brought them to Nina Quinn after several hours on the train.
It could be said that they contained not just her craft but also her deep love for Nina Quinn.
Sadly, Nina Quinn didn’t like these dirty-looking pastries and seed uninterested.
Until Sue Chase forced a piece into her hand, she reluctantly took a bite.
"Is it good?" Sue Chase asked eagerly.
Nina Quinn could only nod weakly.
"Grandma, why do you and Grandpa seem not to like July?"
After swallowing the cake that made her feel nauseous, Nina Quinn suddenly asked.
Indeed, she stayed today with difficulty just to ask Sue Chase and Henry Ford this question.
When she had contact with Henry Ford and Sue Chase before, she was quite young, so she only vaguely felt they didn’t really like July Quinn.
But today, she truly felt the strong dislike these two elders had for July Quinn.
And listening to their conversation with Amanda Ford earlier, it seed there was another hidden reason for their dislike of July Quinn.
"It’s not because..."
Sue Chase was about to blurt out.
But just then, Amanda Ford pushed the door open and entered.
"Mom, are you and Dad adjusting well?"
Sue Chase stopped her sentence midway.
Nina Quinn’s plan to extract answers from Sue Chase was also abruptly interrupted.
However, she secretly vowed to uncover this secret.
Because her intuition told her it would help in dealing with July Quinn.

Not to ntion, she had applied a slight makeup today.
Simultaneously delicate and sexy, refined yet alluring, every expression and movent was captivating!
Even Kyle Keaton, who was used to seeing beauties, couldn’t help but be struck by the scene.
When he ca to himself, he was already in front of July Quinn, his long arms encircling her slender waist, trapping her between the bar and his chest.
"What are you doing dressed so lightly this early in the morning? Tempting soone to cri?"
He was poised to finish what hadn’t been completed last night.
