45: Chapter 45: Say Hello to Great-Grandma 45: Chapter 45: Say Hello to Great-Grandma Leon Peterson frowned, “The seller’s identity is too mysterious, even Old Master Hodges doesn’t recognize…”
Ivy River nodded, “As expected, but the fact that the Angel Wings appeared in my line of sight ans that this person definitely wants to know.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been the first to appear at the auction.”
“Right, but it could also be just a coincidence.”
“I never believe there are so many coincidences in this world.
Let’s keep checking, and if we can’t find out, then so be it.”
Leon Peterson was speechless, “You should seriously think about your next step.
I think you should directly announce your coback, or just go to Riverland City.”
“Now is not the best ti for a coback.
If I rember correctly, Isla Sutton is also studying design, right?
Edwin Blake should be paving the way for her recently.
What if I step in?”
Ivy River analyzed ticulously.
“You’re Lynn; Isla Sutton is nothing.”
Leon Peterson sneered, “Only Edwin Blake treasures her, a re counterfeit.”
“Don’t expose Lynn’s identity, and don’t keep bringing it up.
My ntor doesn’t know about this.”
Leon Peterson didn’t understand, but he agreed, “For now, your best option is to resu your designer identity, or return to Riverland, but since you don’t want to talk, I won’t ntion it again.”
“Okay, let think about it.
Give so space to be alone.”
Leon Peterson hesitated to speak but eventually left.
Ivy River sat in her seat, quietly gazing out the window, unclear about her thoughts.
…
It was noon.
Ivy River was driving; they were on the way to the old Blake Family residence.
She looked at the gloomy-faced Fatty and Emmy.
“Why those expressions?”
Fatty begrudgingly said, “Mom, I was in the middle of a ga, and you pulled out without telling us where we’re going.”
Emmy, playful yet sleepy, rubbed her stomach, “Mom, I just had a al and was going to take a nap.”
“You’ll find out when we get there.
Mom is taking you to see a grandma.
Rember to call her Great-Grandma when you see her, don’t get it wrong.”
Emmy asked curiously, “Great-Grandma?”
“Yes, Great-Grandma.
If you’re sleepy, lie down in the back and rest, Emmy.”
Ivy River nodded with a smile, a trace of determination flashing in her eyes.
Old Lady Blake was her trump card.
Although she wasn’t sure Old Lady Blake would guarantee her safety, she had to take a chance.
“Who is it?
Mommy, who is it?
Did Grandpa Woods tell on mommy?
Will I get spanked?”
Fatty was curious, kicking his little legs in the car.
“Mom, are you taking us to see Grandpa Woods’ mom?”
Emmy was also curious, since in their minds, there was no Great-Grandma, nor was there a grandma.
Only Grandpa Woods and Grandma Woods.
“Sit still and don’t move, Fatty.
We’re almost there.”
Ivy River drove seriously.
After navigating through winding mountain roads, they arrived at the old Blake Family residence.
Ivy River closed her eyes briefly and parked the car at the entrance of the old residence.
She got out first, earnestly instructing, “When you see Grandma, rember to say hello to Great-Grandma, got it?”
Fatty and Emmy nodded, preparing to get out of the car.
“You two stay in the car; I’ll co get you later.”
Ivy River left them in the car and stepped into the old residence herself.
“Grandma!
I’ve co to have lunch with you.”
Old Lady Blake was eating in the house, thinking she was hearing things.
When she looked up to see Ivy River’s face, she bead with joy, “Oh my, Ivy, how co you have ti to join for a al?”
“I missed you, what else could it be?”
Old Lady Blake chuckled, “You wouldn’t co unless there’s sothing.
Go ahead, tell .”
“Grandma, really, you see through everything.”
“Is it good news or bad news?
Bad news can wait until after we eat, good news you can tell now.”
Ivy River fell silent, then cautiously spoke, “It might be good news for you…”
Old Lady Blake put down her chopsticks, looking puzzled.
Ivy River quickly spoke, “Grandma, do you want to have great-grandchildren?”
Old Lady Blake was shocked, “What?!”
Ivy River looked up, a flattering smile on her face, “Exactly as it sounds.”
Old Lady Blake pursed her lips, not speaking, her face suddenly grim.
“If you don’t wish for that, then I’ll leave, pretend I was never here and never said anything.”
Old Lady Blake: “…”
Great-grandchildren from the sky?
What a wonderful thing that would be!
Ivy River pouted and was about to leave.
This wasn’t how she imagined it.
Old Lady Blake collected herself and controlled her excitent, “Ivy, are you saying I have great-grandchildren?”
Ivy River nodded.
Old Lady Blake excitedly asked, “Are they Edwin’s?”
Ivy River: …
If they weren’t, why would she co here to say anything!
“Oh dear, why didn’t you tell sooner.
So, you were pregnant when you left back then?
That rascal Edwin, treating you like that, yet you were willing to have his children…”
“When you visited upon returning to the country, why didn’t you ntion this?
Oh, Edwin said the Blake Family wouldn’t be without heirs; he wasn’t lying.
I can face the ancestors of the Blake Family with pride.”
Old Lady Blake couldn’t hold back her tears at the end.
Ivy River was a bit annoyed by the continuous chatter.
She pouted and interrupted, “Grandma…
stop; I know you’re very excited now, but calm down.
Do you want to see them?”
“You brought them?”
Old Lady Blake said as she excitedly stood up from her wheelchair, struggling to go outside.
Ivy River imdiately supported her, “Don’t be anxious, I’ll go bring them.
Prepare the eting gifts.”
“Alright, you go fetch them, hurry, Ivy.”
Old Lady Blake couldn’t contain her excitent, clutching Butler Lee’s hand, “Skylar, quickly push back to the room.”
Ivy River led the two little ones out of the car, tidying their appearance.
“Make sure to be polite; Great-Grandma is old and can’t handle too much fuss from you, understand?”
Fatty snorted, replying unhappily, “Got it.”
He recognized the word Blake; this was Blake Park.
Thinking about the fact that the people here were Edwin Blake’s family made him unhappy.
Emmy’s little face showed a cute smile, “Okay.”
Old Lady Blake anxiously sat inside, constantly looking toward the door.
Why was Ivy River taking so long to co in?
“Skylar, what if the great-grandkids don’t like ?”
Butler Lee comforted, “They won’t, they won’t.
Don’t overthink it, you’ve just gained a grandson from the heavens, isn’t it joyous?”
“Happy, yes, but I’m just worried…”
Old Lady Blake hadn’t finished her sentence when she froze.
She watched Ivy River appear at the door, holding two children’s hands, rubbing her eyes, and opening them again.
Indeed, there were two!
Ivy River patted the two little heads, “Go ahead, greet Great-Grandma.”
Old Lady Blake watched the two little figures running toward her.
She couldn’t help but be moved to tears.
