Avenger's coming back novel Chapter 51

It was already in the evening when Lily went back to the old house. When she walked into the living room, she found that the living room was filled with the fragrance. Joe was looking something in the living room. He didn't raise his head until he heard the footsteps.

"Lily, you are back." He waved to Lily and said, "Come here and sit with Grandpa."

"Okay." Lily behaved obediently and sat beside him. When she saw the thick photo album in his hand, she was a little surprised. "Grandpa, are you looking at the photos?"

"Yes." Joe turned over the photo album in his hand and showed it to her, "This photo was taken when the two families were having dinner together. This girl was your mother and she was only five years old at that time. These two were your grandfather and grandmother. This is me, my wife. This is your father when he was a kid."

This was the first time that Lily had seen this picture. It was a little yellow and black, and the edges of the picture were a bit messed up. But she recognized who were them.

"This was taken when your mother was twelve years old." Joe pointed at another picture and said, "This is the first time she came to our house. At that time, your grandparents had just passed away. Your mother suffered a lot. She looked pale."

Grandparents passed away at the age of her mother's twelve? Lily was surprised. She didn't know this before.

"We owe your mother too much." Joe continued, with deep guilt in his tone, "Your grandpa died in an accident because he saved me. Your grandma was in poor health all the year round and could not bear any irritation, so she died. Only your mother was left in the hospital, so I picked her up, and has been taking care of her as my biological daughter..."

Lily listened quietly, listening to the stories that she had never known.

"This is when your mother was eighteen years old. There was an obvious smile on her face. You see, how beautiful she is when she smiled. She looks like your grandma, quiet and gentle."

"These are the photos taken when they got married." Joe turned to the next page of the photo album, and he pointed at a photo in which Tina and Dillon were wearing a traditional wedding dress. He sighed and said, "In fact, I shouldn't have forced them to get married. Look, on the photo, there was no smile on your father's face but your mother smiled. After all, it was me who had hurt your mother..."

Joe closed the photo album with tears in his eyes. "Even if she hates me now, it's right."

"Grandpa, my mom don't blame or hate you." Lily tried to comfort him, "She has a good time outside. I can see that she is very happy when she stayed with me today."

"Your mother is always a kind person who would tell the good but not the bad. I know how she is doing outside. She has made up her mind not to come back, and even refused to go back to the old house. In the future, you have to take more care of her."

"Yes."

At this time, Sunny came out of the kitchen and said, "Mr. Joe, dinner is ready."

"Grandpa, let's go to have dinner. I'm hungry." Seeing this, Lily quickly changed the topic and reached out to support Joe.

"Okay, let's eat."

While supporting Joe, Lily gave him a sidelong glance and sighed in her heart. She finally understood why grandpa was so nice to her mother, and there was such a story between them.

At the same time, she also understood why Joe forced Dillon to marry her mother. He wanted to make up for her as much as possible, because he owed her mother a lot. That was why he did such a thing when he knew that she had fallen in love with Dillon.

The next day, Lily got up early. Since she had promised Eric to cook for him during his hospitalization, she had to keep her words.

In the kitchen, Lily poured out the cooking pot under the great pressure of cooking bones, took out the bones from the pot, put the rice on the pot and pressed the button.

Then she turned around and got busy again. She put the eggs into the bowl and stirred them evenly, skillfully and dexterously, then added a certain amount of milk and finally put them into the steamer.

When everything was done, she began to prepare lunch. She thought that she might not have time to bring lunch to Eric, so she prepared lunch as well.

Soon the porridge was ready. Milk, steamed eggs, celery beef and a vegetable dish were all put into the heat preservation box, including the half bone soup that she just poured out.

After preparing all these things, Lily went out of the kitchen and went back to her room to change her clothes. After she had a quick wash, she came downstairs and met Joe. "Grandpa, you get up."

"Lily, are you going out?" Seeing that she was in a hurry, Joe asked.

"Yes, I'm bringing food to Eric." Then she turned around and went into the kitchen. She came out with two lunch boxes and said with a smile, "Grandpa, I prepared breakfast for you."

"You made it?" Joe was confused.

"Yes." Lily nodded and said in a naughty tone, "Grandpa, don't forget to eat. Don't waste it."

Joe didn't mind bringing food to Eric. After all, he saved Eric. But he was a little surprised to see Lily cooking for him. He nodded and said, "Okay. I'll have it. Oh, right, let Daniel drive you there."

"I know, Grandpa. I'm leaving now." Then, Lily turned around and walked out.
