"Charlotte, let’s go back for a visit. Grandma has always been thinking about you," Justin Battleson said, taking Charlotte Thompson’s hand.
Charlotte listened and finally nodded heavily, "I miss Grandma very much, too. When we have ti, let’s take the kids back for a visit."
"Alright."
Justin Battleson silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After returning ho, Charlotte imdiately told the children about it.
"Great-grandmother?"
Grace Thompson blinked, "Why hasn’t mommy ntioned her before?"
Charlotte’s expression showed a hint of embarrassnt as she held Grace in her arms and said softly,
"Before, Mommy just didn’t know how to face your great-grandmother."
"Is great-grandmother... scary?" Hank Thompson shrank his neck.
Charlotte quickly shook her head upon hearing this, "Your great-grandmother is not scary at all; in fact, she is a very gentle person. You will definitely like her when you et her."
"Will great-grandmother like us, too?" Grace Thompson asked, full of hope.
"Of course, she will."
Justin Battleson reached out to touch Grace’s soft crown, "Your great-grandmother has always been looking forward to eting you all."
"That’s great! Let’s go see the great-grandmother tomorrow!"
Grace looked up with anticipation and then turned her head to see Olivia Thompson with a sowhat forlorn expression.
Grace let go of Charlotte’s arm and walked over to pull Olivia closer.
"Then Mommy, can Annie co with us to see great-grandmother?"
However, Olivia’s expression dodged, and Jack Thompson and Chad Thompson also remained silent.
Charlotte looked on, feeling a little heartache, but before she could speak up, Justin Battleson said with a gentle laugh,
"Of course, Jack and Chad have to go, too. It wouldn’t be right without any one of you—as your great-grandmother wants to see each and every one of you."
As he spoke, Justin Battleson turned to look at Charlotte, their eyes t, and he beckoned Jack and Chad over as well.
"You are all Mommy’s treasures; of course, you should go together."
"Really?" Chad asked softly.
"Of course, when has Mommy ever lied to you?" Charlotte said with a soft smile.
With this, the children’s faces lit up with joy, and Grace exclaid happily before turning to Charlotte.
"Mommy, what does great-grandmother like? We want to prepare a gift for her."
"What your great-grandmother loves most are flowers and plants."
Thinking back to the beautiful and precious flowers and plants she had seen in Stardust Garden, Charlotte could recall those warm and loving days and the smile of the elderly lady.
"Grace loves beautiful flowers, too. We must prepare the best gift for great-grandmother."
Grace took Olivia’s hand, ready to lead her to the garden.
Perhaps it was a habit from the ti spent in Stardust Garden, but Charlotte now also enjoyed planting beautiful flowers in the garden; rely looking at them brought great pleasure.
Seeing this, Hank hurriedly followed, "Wait for , I want to go, too."
Grace, however, looked at him sowhat disdainfully.
"Second brother, please don’t give any out any ideas; your sense of aesthetics is terrible."
Hank felt as if he had been injured for ten thousand years, clutching his chest and saying innocently,
"Wow, my sense of aesthetics is super sweet, okay? Big brother, back up!"
"If you’re willing to replace that floral patterned curtain on your bed, then I’ll back you up," Cyrus Thompson said expressionlessly, delivering the coup de grâce.
