Chapter 28
Lucas frowned and hung up the phone, then walked out.
In the garden, Sophia had already approached Barbara. She held out a cotton candy shaped like a kitten. “Madam Barbara, look at this cute little kitten.”
Barbara’s eyes lit up when she saw the cotton candy, but she didn’t take it. Instead, she tugged on Aveline’s hand.
“Granddaughter–in–law, you get me cotton candy. I don’t like kittens; I like bunnies.”
From the moment Sophia appeared, Aveline had instinctively tensed up. But when she heard Barbara’s voice, she suddenly relaxed. An indescribable feeling welled up inside her, making her feel a bit sad and close to tears.
“Okay, I’ll get you one,” Aveline said.
Barbara smiled brightly. “My granddaughter–in–law is the best.”
Sophia, still holding the cotton candy, froze awkwardly. She slowly withdrew her hand and looked at Aveline. “Madam Barbara likes you very much.”
Aveline replied calmly, “She just happens to find me pleasing.”
Sophia smiled slightly, lowering her eyes with a hint of
displeasure flashing in them.
‘What did she mean by that?
‘Was she implying that I didn’t please Barbara?‘
“Grandma,” Lucas said as he walked over, “are you tired? Do you
want to rest?”

Barbara clutched Aveline’s hand. “I want my granddaughter–in- law to come with me.”
Aveline said, “Alright.”
She supported Barbara and started to walk back to the small building.
After a few steps, Barbara noticed that Lucas wasn’t following. She immediately waved him over. “Grandson, come here!”
Aveline couldn’t help but feel amused.
The tone she had used to call him sounded a bit insulting, didn’t it?
Lucas walked over and supported Barbara. “Let’s go, Grandma.”
They were already at the lawyer’s office. If it weren’t for Barbara causing a scene, they would have filed for a divorce by now.
