Chapter 1049: Chapter 1029: Preparing to Torture the Color Ghost!
“You are already fifty years old?”
The first to cry out in disbelief was Bella Gordon. Such incredible beauty, could she still be human?
“Are you Ivy’s sister?”
Michael Gordon looked at her face with so confusion and soon felt sothing was off, “Ivy doesn’t have any sisters!”
“I am her mother!”
As soon as the woman spoke, almost everyone simultaneously opened their mouths wide; Ivy’s mother was…
“Are you the Princess Ruby Ross of Orchid Kingdom?”
Everyone present knew who Ivy Aretha’s mother was. Years ago, Michael Gordon had nearly blown up the palace of Orchid Kingdom in a fit of rage for her sake, but eventually, things had cleared up, and peace had been maintained, largely out of respect for the late Princess Ruby Ross. This Ruby Ross, a legendary figure in Orchid Kingdom back in her day, had fallen in love with a man from Andras City and ultimately t her death there, with her remains never recovered nor buried in Orchid Kingdom’s cetery—a regrettable incident from before the country’s foreign affairs minister’s demise.
Now, twenty years had passed, and a woman who died forty years ago was still alive.
“Yes, I am Ruby, but I am no longer a princess!”
Ruby turned away, her face slowly revealing the shade of deep sorrow, the pain of those years understood only by those who had lived through it. “You all should go back now!”
“What about you, Grandma?”
Bella Gordon blurted out this title without thinking but didn’t notice how the woman who had just turned around stiffened completely. “Grandma, co back ho with us. My mommy will be so happy to know you’re alive; she’ll go crazy with joy!”
She had experienced what it was like to be without a father for five years and knew what it ant to have a complete family. She still had her mommy, but her mommy had been alone as a child. The more Bella grew up, the more she understood the loneliness her mother had endured. If she could let her know that her relatives were still on this earth, her mother’s life would be without regrets.
“I’m sorry, Bella, I don’t deserve to be called your grandma!”
From the day she lost her child, she had lost all her rights. “I’m sorry to your mommy. When she was struggling and needed
the most, I wasn’t there to fulfill my responsibilities as a mother. Now everything is fine, and I have even less right. Thank you, Michael Gordon, for forgiving
after all these years!”
With those words, suddenly, a white silhouette swept across the sky, moving so fast that people barely had ti to blink before the figure vanished, just like an illusion, as if it had never existed.
“Damn, Michael, is your mother-in-law human or a ghost? A legendary celestial being?”
Such swift movent amazed even Oliver Thompson, who spent his life in the Special Forces Secret Unit. Had he not witnessed it with his own eyes, he would never have believed such a person could exist.
“Daddy, Brother Roy, Grandma left, hurry up and chase after her!”
Bella Gordon was now filled with thoughts of her grandma. Calvin Gordon had caused her too many shadows in her youth, making it difficult to bridge the gap in their relationship as she grew older, unlike Rio Gordon and Chani Gordon, who had fresh starts.
So, grandparents and other elders that a normal family has—Bella Gordon had almost never felt that affection from childhood to adulthood. Thus, when she t Princess Ruby Ross, the heart that had once forgotten childhood dreams was rekindled.
“Forget it, your grandma won’t co down the mountain with us, the ringer must untie the bell!”
With those words, if Ivy Aretha didn’t speak up, she would always feel a heavy stone weighing on her heart. Regardless of the reasons, having Aretha as her last na, from a mother’s viewpoint, was an act of agency—at least, that’s what Ruby Ross believed. Therefore, for over forty years, she had lived on this deserted mountain where no one else ca.
She probably didn’t know at the beginning, after all by the ti she found out, Ivy already had people who cared about and loved her. She probably felt too ashad by then, just a bit of thoughtfulness, Michael Gordon had understood that much after all these years.
“We’ll go back, I’ll discuss it with Mommy, and then we’ll co to get her together!”
No one would hate their own child. He believed she must have had her hardships, and after so many years, having a warm ho was far more aningful than dwelling on past difficulties and sufferings.
“Alright, let’s hurry back, discuss, and then co to get Grandma. It’s so sad that she has to live here all alone!”
As Bella Gordon spoke, her clear, distinct black and white eyes still stared at where Ruby had disappeared, her mind full of the beautiful face identical to Ivy Aretha’s, “Family should be together!”
“Alright!”
Michael Gordon patted his head, then looked aningfully at Roy Thompson, “Bianca, I’ll take her first, you wrap things up and co to Gordon Mansion to get her!”
“Wait, why isn’t Brother Roy coming with us?”
Upon hearing this, Bella Gordon’s first reaction was to think her daddy was about to scold Brother Roy, “Daddy, listen to , this really isn’t Brother Roy’s fault, I was just too excited, got up early, and didn’t want to disturb everyone by bringing bodyguards. It was my negligence, how could you bla Brother Roy? Daddy, if it weren’t for
being at the Gordon family, Brother Roy would have been with
24/7, and nothing would have happened. Ultimately, it’s because I trusted the Gordon family too much, so you can’t bla Brother Roy!”
Michael Gordon: “…”
When did he ever say he was going to bla her Brother Roy?
Ha!
“It turns out, a married daughter is like spilled water, one mont it’s ‘Brother Roy,’ the next it’s ‘Gordon family’. Isn’t the Gordon family your family too?” he said while glancing at a rare smiling Oliver Thompson, “My girl really seems to be born for your family. Look at this, now I, as a father, have no status at all!”
“Don’t you also have a son? Let him co and steal my daughter to get back at !”
Michael Gordon: “…”
“That guy, better not count on him to get back at , at least he’s not gay. He just knows how to study all day. Such a grown man doesn’t even know how to find a girlfriend, really makes my heart break!”
Speaking of Rio Gordon, Michael Gordon recalled how Ivy Aretha worried every day about him turning gay, “Alright, let us go now, let Roy get busy!”
“I want to stay with Brother Roy!”
“What he does is too bloody and not suitable for you to see as a pregnant woman. Co back with !”
With that, Michael Gordon directly led her away.
