When Cathy heard that Grandma Eva was moving in, she felt bothered. Grandma Eva and Cathy detested each other. They had never lived together, so both of them could have a peaceful life. But why did Grandma Eva decide to move back here now?
"Will Addy come with Grandma Eva?" This was what Cathy was worried about the most. Grandma Eva had been taken care of by Halbert's ex-wife, Addy. If she was moving here, wouldn't she bring Addy along? How could they live in peace with each other here?
"I really don't know yet. But don’t worry, mom. Amy and Hilary and I are here with you. They don't dare to bully you." Richard said.
A man would never understand the war among women. Even if Cathy told Richard, he wouldn't understand. Thus, Cathy didn't want to tell more to him.
Back then, Halbert divorced Addy due to personality incompatibility. After the divorce, Halbert met Cathy at a reception. He fell in love with Cathy at first sight. Then he chased after Cathy, got married and had a family with her.
However, Grandma Eva insisted that Cathy was the one who seduced Halbert, so she and Cathy quarreled with each other once they met.
"Alright, I'll make an arrangement. Grandma Eva doesn't want to live with Grandpa John, so I'll arrange a quieter place for her to recuperate." Cathy had no choice. Although Cathy did not like Grandma Eva, she was Halbert's mother. Cathy could only suppress the grievance.
"Mom, you're so kind." Richard praised Cathy.
Cathy was like a child in terms of character. If Cathy liked a person, she would share all good things with him. Otherwise, whatever that person had done, she wouldn't be satisfied.
Then Richard pulled Amy and said to Cathy, "Mom, we're going upstairs for a rest and I will give Amy the present."
"Okay, take a rest and then come down to dine later." Cathy was very happy to see Richard and Amy in a good relationship.
Amy's face instantly turned rosy. Richard tightly pulled her upstairs with a parcel in his hand, which was the gift for Amy.
Closing the door, Richard opened the mysterious gift. It was a German version of Gone with the Wind. Amy did yearn for this book, but it was out of print. She didn't expect Richard found it.
"I didn't take it out before my mom just now because I was embarrassed. Because I knew she would say that the gift I bought for you was valueless. In her mind, nothing else can be considered as a gift, other than jewelry and jade or world-famous brands." Richard said to Amy.
Amy stroked the book. She was touched since she just casually mentioned this book once, saying that she had looked for it for a long time but could not find it. She did not expect that Richard would take her words so seriously.
"Do you like it?" Richard asked.
"I like it so much." Amy had never worn jewelry because she did not like those things, but this gift made her pretty happy.
"Don't you have anything to say if you like it?" Richard moved his face to Amy.
Then Amy kissed Richard's face.
Richard took advantage of the situation and just held her tightly. He put the book aside and caressed her gently. It had been so long since he left. He missed her very much.
"It's daytime." Amy said nervously. What if someone came in?
