After the meal.
Grandma Carter held Alessia's hand as they walked in the garden.
With a loving expression, Grandma Carter said, "Sia, when you have time, bring your twin daughters back to let Grandma have a look."
Earlier in the dining room, Clara suddenly mentioned her remarriage and child, embarrassing her. Unexpectedly, her grandmother didn't mind at all and even wanted to meet the two babies.
Alessia pursed her lips, suppressing the emotional turmoil in her heart.
She couldn't bring the twins to the Carter family's old mansion. This would surely disappoint her grandmother.
"Silly girl, are you worried that Dom won't like it?" Grandma Carter asked with concern when she saw Alessia remaining silent.
Feeling even more guilty, Alessia pursed her lips and uttered two words, "I'm sorry!"
Dominic's thoughts returned, only to find the woman beside him had already closed her eyes. With her eyes closed, the woman's skin looked cold and pale, her thick eyelashes casting a quiet shadow. She always seemed cool and unapproachable, but now she appeared a bit more gentle. She really took him for a chauffeur. A barely perceptible smile crossed Dominic's lips. Perhaps any woman sitting in his passenger seat wouldn't be willing to use it for sleeping. She was truly carefree. The car entered the Rosedale Residence. Dominic was about to wake up the woman next to him when she, like she had an alarm clock, opened her eyes. Dominic squinted, suddenly suspecting that the woman had been pretending to sleep the entire time. Just to avoid interacting with him. This realization made Dominic feel a bit stifle
Ava saw this heartwarming scene as soon as she entered the door. After a slight moment of daze, she instructed the servant to place the things she brought on the table. She smiled at the two little ones and said, "Darlings, Grandma has come to see you again. Today, I specially bought gifts for you. Let's see if you like them." As Ava spoke, she took out a Barbie doll and a Transformer from the bag. She had someone investigate and knew that this daughter had been divorced before. She had just returned with a pair of twin daughters, but now the twins had become fraternal twins. It should have been a mistake by the private investigator. But strangely enough, as she looked at the boy today, he bore some resemblance to Dominic. Upon careful thought, she felt it must be a coincidence. The Carter family's lineage was thin; how could they let their children wander outside?
"Mom, I'm sorry, I seem to have messed up your gathering," Christian apologized with his head down as they left the Ramirez family's gate.Alessia looked at her dramatic son and said, "Then how do you plan to compensate me?""Huh?" The little guy lifted his head nervously at once, his face showing no hint of apology.Alessia tapped his little nose, "Alright, I didn't blame you. You did well tonight. It's me who didn't do well, shouldn't have brought you to such an occasion.""Mommy is always right." Eleanor, who had not spoken until now, raised her head and said without principle.Alessia softened, deciding never to bring her two children to the Ramirez family again. She didn't want them to suffer because of her.The next day, Ava made several calls to invite her to go shoppin
"Ah, call the police? So not only are you pretending to be rich, but you're also a thief." "It's such a pity that such a beautiful woman is a thief." The men nearby couldn't help but feel sorry for Alessia. The women couldn't control their men, so they glared at Alessia with resentment. "Hello fans! Oh, by the way, I'm at the Al Studio store. I wanted to buy a few clothes here today. If you have time later, help me make a choice." Suddenly, a deliberately sweet and soft voice came from outside the store. Everyone turned their heads and saw Sisca walking into the store wearing a little white dress, with her black hair draped behind her head. She was followed by her assistant holding a selfie stick for her live broadcast. After entering, Sisca seemed to have just noticed Alessia in the crowd and exclaimed in surprise, "Miss La
As Sisca finished speaking, the comments in the live stream unanimously praised Alessia's demeanor and praised Sisca for her kindness. Some even advised Alessia to recognize the truth early, that an ugly duckling can never become a swan. Sisca secretly reveled in her satisfaction. Alessia ignored these mocking comments, returning the borrowed phone to the man. The man took the phone, his face flushed with excitement, and asked eagerly, "Miss, can I have your phone number?" The woman in front of him was just too beautiful. When he took the phone earlier, his heart felt like it had been electrified. Alessia glanced at the man, coldly apologizing, "As you can see, I didn't bring it." Not bringing the phone didn't mean she didn't have one. He was rejected politely, but being rejected by such a beautiful woman was still an honor.
Seeing that Bianca was about to call her sister-in-law in public, Alessia quickly covered her mouth. She couldn't let Bianca call her sister-in-law publicly. Her ex-wife status couldn't be hidden anymore. "Don't shout," Alessia said. Bianca made a series of muffled sounds, blinked her eyes, and then nodded as if to assure Alessia. Only then did Alessia release her hand. As soon as Bianca got her freedom, she affectionately hugged Alessia's arm and obediently changed her words. "Sia, these people must be blind. Anything you like in this mall, I can buy it for you." A hint of amusement flickered in Alessia's cold eyes. She knew Bianca wanted to support her. Although she didn't need it, she appreciated the gesture. "Okay," Alessia nodded. Bianca's high-profile actions made it clear
Alessia opened the box, and a rich herbal fragrance filled the air. Inside were seven thumb-sized black pills neatly arranged. Alessia explained, "Grandma, there are seven pills in total, one per day. As long as you persist in taking one pill a day for seven days, your leg condition will improve." "Okay. Sia, you’re so considerate." Grandma Carter smiled like a blooming daisy and asked a servant to bring water. "Grandma, do you want to take it now?" Alessia asked. "Of course, if my granddaughter made the medicine, I must take it immediately." Grandma Carter said proudly and matter-of-factly. The warmth in Alessia's eyes deepened as she said, "This medicine tastes a bit bitter." "Bitter, huh." Grandma Carter wrinkled her brow like a child who disliked bitter taste, then seemed to make up her mind and said, "Even if it's bitter, I'll still take the
Though Clara was not happy with this arrangement, she didn't say anything further. After all, those poisonous pills had been taken for testing, and Alessia couldn't escape responsibility. Dealing with her was just a matter of time. Alessia pursed her lips and quietly stood aside. Her suspicion hadn't been cleared, and in this situation, Dominic's actions were indeed the most appropriate. Listening to Bianca's description of the symptoms, Grandma's condition shouldn't be too serious. There was no rush for the examination results to come out. Bianca quietly pulled Alessia's hand and whispered, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Even if there's something wrong with the prescription, you had good intentions. Grandma won't blame you. She'll be fine." “...” As time passed by, the tightly shut door of the ward was opened, and several medical staff walked out. Clara was the first to approach. "Doctor, how is my mom?" Dominic also walked over
