It could be that Katherine was mishearing things.
Nevertheless, her heart was still slightly flustered by his words.
She turned away and looked out the window, as she pursed her lips in silence.
Peter loaded Katherine and Marshall’s luggage into the car before getting into the front passenger seat.
On the other side, Mrs. Grant and Clara were still standing next to their car.
While Clara’s expression was unknown, Mrs. Grant was obviously not too happy about how things turned out.
Katherine leaned on the car window. She saw Mrs. Grant forcefully slamming the car door inwards as she unwillingly got into the car.
She tried her hardest to not burst out laughing at Mrs. Grant’s misery.
Marshall’s car left before Mrs. Grant’s as they followed the company car.
No one talked throughout the journey as they drove to the old Grant house.
Katherine was familiar with the route, too familiar, even.
She sighed as she saw the scenery move past her rapidly.
When she moved out of the old house, she thought that she would never come back to that place again.
Unfortunately, fate just had to make her eat her own words.
The car reached the old Grant house as it parked in its yard.
The old Grant house was located on a hill halfway up a mountain, its surroundings were so serene it would not be surprising if someone saw a ghost in the middle of the night.
Old Mr. and Mrs. Grant liked the rural style, various beautiful flora and trees were planted around the house.
Moreover, the backyard had a bamboo forest.
Maybe because it was well maintained, it makes people felt tranquility.
Katherine got out of the car by herself.
Old Mrs. Grant, with a maid by her side supporting her, stood at the entrance of the house while looking at Katherine.
Katherine saw Old Mrs. Grant when she turned around.
Their relationship was complicated, to say the least. After she was married to Marshall, within their first year of marriage;
Old Mrs. Grant was not exactly treating Katherine well nor treating her poorly.
She never picked on Katherine, but she had also never protected her.
All of this led Katherine to feel the same way towards Old Mrs. Grant, which was as neutral as one could be.
Peter unloaded the luggage from the car.
Old Mrs. Grant approached them with her maid still by her side.
Other members of the Grant family were still at the office, which was why the place was peaceful and quiet.
Old Mrs. Grant looked at Katherine. Even though they were not close, she still greeted her, “Hello.”
Katherine replied, “Hello, Old Mrs. Grant.”
