Faced with what Mrs. Wade says, Macie pouts, shakes her head and says, "Of course not."
Grandma makes fun of her!
She likes daddy and mommy best, and then grandparents, as well as Old Ellison and Beauty Kelly.
But if Ellison knows it, he will be very angry.
How can Macie call him Old Ellison and his wife Beauty Kelly?
It's quite unequal!
However, even if Ellison knows, he can do nothing.
Macie now is the princess of the Quinn family, and the entire Quinn family loves her very much.
Even though he is the eldest son of the Quinn family, he can't compare with Macie, who is loved best by the Quinn family.
Hearing this, Mrs. Wade bends down to pinch Macie's soft face, saying with smile, "Macie doesn't like grandma now. Why do you only hug your grandpa?"
Hearing what Mrs. Wade says, Mr. Wade feels quite complacent on his usual strict face.
Seeing his complacent expression, Mrs. Wade is so angry that she wants to give him a slap.
Hearing that, Macie glanced at Mr. Wade and Mrs. Wade, as if she doesn't know how to speak.
After all…
It will hurt one of them!
Mrs. Wade touches her head, and coaxes her in a tender tone, "Macie, don't be afraid. Just speak out. Grandpa will not be angry with you."
"Really? Grandpa will not really be angry?" Macie looks up at Mr. Wade, and asks doubtfully.
Hearing Macie's question, Mr. Wade feels disappointed.
So he nods, "No, I will not be angry with Macie."
Receiving grandpa's guarantee, Macie feels relieved.
She says with smile, "It's because grandma is wearing a dress. Mommy has told me that as long as grandma is wearing a dress, I can't hug grandma's lap."
Macie means that she intends to hug grandma, but she hugs grandpa because of mommy's education and the dress grandma wears.
Hearing what Macie says, Mr. Wade gets disappointed, and doesn't know what to say to express the tiredness in his mind.
A feeling of being abandoned and hated by his beloved granddaughter emerges in his mind.
Seeing Mr. Wade unhappy face, Macie finds his displeasure.
"I like grandpa very much, too." She hurries to explain, in case that Mr. Wade will misunderstand, "I hug grandpa because I like grandpa very much."
She loses Mr. Wade's lap, and hurries to explain, standing where she is.
Mrs. Wade laughs happily, touches Macie's little head, and then take out a candy from her pocket to hand it to Macie, "Macie, grandpa is not angry."
She glances at Mr. Wade with smile, and says, "He is so old. How can he be angry with Macie?"
Hearing this, Mr. Wade almost chokes, with anger in heart.
Damn it! She really likes to say bad words of him!
Coming to his sense, seeing Macie looking at him with twinkling eyes, Mr. Wade feels quite warm and happy.
"Of course, grandpa will never be angry with Macie."
Even though he feels unhappy in his mind, Mr. Wade has to maintain his great image and can't be angry in front of his beloved granddaughter.
He can't make Macie think that he has a bad temper.
To be honest, granddaughter is really something magical, and it is the same with the generation-skipping love.
It can make Mr. Wade, who is usually serious, have vivid facial expression and psychological activity.
Butler has already come to their side when Macie is explaining to Mrs. Wade.
Hearing their conversation, Butler feels that she is redundant.
In fact, so she is.
If she hadn't interfered, Macie should have a happy family now.
But this will not make her regret, it is just because Macie's father is Kevin.
"Grandpa, let's go inside. Perhaps daddy hasn't had breakfast." Macie looks up at Mr. Wade and Mrs. Wade, whispering.
Mrs. Wade gets stunned, looking at Macie with complicated feelings.
However, Macie doesn't notice it, and she continues, "Daddy doesn't like eating out, so when he was in good health, he has never been full when eating out."
"He will usually drink a lot and eat little."
Macie talks endlessly, finding nothing wrong, but all the adults present, including Butler, are all crying.
Her father doesn't recognize her, and doesn't give her even a hug when seeing her, but she thinks so much about Kevin.
Thinking for a while, Mr. Wade decides to tell her the news about Kevin losing memory.
It is already 11 o'clock and the hot sun is high in the sky.
