Yet, all of it was true!
Even after searching all over River City, he didn’t find another woman like the one from that night.
Seeing Adrian not budging, Grandmother Davies got nowhere with him, "Ah, you!"
After saying this, Grandmother Davies instructed the nearby servant, "Go fetch Daniel."
"Yes, madam."
The servant left, and shortly after, a boy of about four or five years, mostly resembling Adrian, came over.
"Great-grandmother, you called me."
"Yes," Grandmother Davies nodded, smiling warmly, "Good, come and have a word with your Daddy."
Daniel Davies’s little face appeared on the computer screen, coldly greeting Adrian, "Daddy."
"Hmm." Adrian looked at his son on the screen, seeing the image similar to his own, suddenly finding the distinct eyebrows and eyes different from himself so familiar.
Through Daniel’s eyes, Adrian seemed to see that woman’s little face.
That woman had a similar pair of eyes; her smile was beautiful, bright like stars.
Indeed, that woman was Ava Parker’s sister, Daniel’s aunt.
In hindsight, it seemed natural for a nephew to resemble his aunt.
"Adrian, after the new year, I’ll move back to River City with Daniel. Grandma’s old now, it’s time to go back, and Daniel needs to start school."
Daniel Davies’s expression remained apathetic watching the screen, saying nothing.
No sign of resistance or joy regarding Great-grandmother’s words was shown.
Grandmother Davies’s words interrupted Adrian’s thoughts.
Adrian looked at his equally indifferent son, speaking softly, "Alright, after the new year, Grandma shall return with Daniel."
"Great-grandmother, Daddy, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now." Daniel coldly said his goodbye, then expressionless, turned to leave.
Grandmother Davies watched Daniel’s departing figure, sighing quietly, "Ah, this child..."
Heaven knows how much she longed for a lively, adorable great-grandson!
But alas, her fate was bitter!
Her grandson cold and quiet, and her great-grandson just the same.
Grandmother Davies turned back, glaring at Adrian, "Just like you!"
Adrian: "..."
