Coolest Girl in Town
Chapter 73
“Don‘t be sad, Grandma. I‘ll try my best, so don‘t worry about me.”
Seeing that Elise had softened her attitude, Laura knew that she had made the right move, and she quickly added, “Well, you said it yourself. I’ll give you another chance, then. The next time you’re back, you have to bring along your husband so I can meet him.”
All of a sudden, Elise felt that she had fallen into a trap, but since she had already said it herself, she could only agree. “Okay, I’ll try my best.” (Daily latest update www.noveljar .com)
Upon getting her word, all the sadness disappeared from Laura’s face. “Come here. Let me take a good look at you to see if you’ve grown any taller or chubbier.” (Daily latest update www.noveljar .com)
Speechless, Elise could clearly feel that she had fallen for her trap, but even so, she had no complaints about it.
After having dinner with her grandparents, Elise went to her bedroom on the third floor. Opening the door, she immediately saw a huge poster with the letter H printed on the bottom. (Daily latest update www.noveljar .com)
Lifting her gaze, she stared at her own poster with an unreadable look in her eyes. However, very quickly, she looked away and scanned around the room. Everything in the room was exactly how it was when she left; it showed how careful Robin and
Then, she paced to the storage space in her room and opened the door. The space was filled with digital albums and posters, and she found the limited edition of her own album she published back then. (Daily latest update www.noveljar .com)
“Since Mikayla likes it so much, I‘ll bring a few albums for her. I think Matthew likes it as well, so I‘ll bring a couple for him, too,” she muttered as she took out a few albums and signed the letter H with a Sharpie pen. When she was done, only then did she leave the storage with the albums in her hands, (Daily latest update www.noveljar .com)
“Ellie!” Laura suddenly called out while pushing the door open.
Setting the albums aside, Elise asked, “What is it, Grandma?”
Laura walked into the room and passed her the lucky charm she got for her. “Elise,
take good care of yourself out there. The most important thing is your safety,” she said while putting on the lucky charm around Elise‘s neck. “Your grandpa and I are old, and we don’t know how many remaining days we have. You’re the only one that we worry about the most.”

Laura stroked her head. “Yeah, I know how to take care of myself at this age. Actually, I came looking for you because I have a favor to ask from you.” (Daily latest update www.noveljar .com)

then, but I’ve not thought of going home to take a look. So, I don’t know how my family is doing now.”
This was the first time Elise heard Laura mentioning her own family, the Richardsons, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Do you have any siblings from your family?”
“I have a younger brother, but I haven’t contacted him over the years and don’t know how he’s doing now. Previously, I heard rumors saying that his family have moved to Athesea, and since you’re there as well, I wonder if you can help me out,” Laura said.
“Just tell me what I can do for you, Grandma!” Elise said with a rough guess in her mind.
Looking at the locket in her hand, Laura sighed. “Although I made the tough choice not to contact them for decades, they’re still constantly on my mind. If you have time some day, please help me look for them.”
“Okay, I got it, Grandma!” Elise replied.
