Chapter 69 Uncle

"Nancy, come here. This is your uncle."

The shy and soft girl walked back cautiously and stood beside her mother obediently. She then raised a delicate face slightly and looked at the middle-aged man timidly.

"Uncle."

She addressed her uncle tenderly and grabbed her mother's hand nervously. As expected, her uncle was as dignified as her mother said, making the child stand in front of him couldn't help but want to be nice.

"Hmm." The middle-aged man also looked at the girl and nodded slowly, not showing too much enthusiasm, but also not giving people an impression that he was cold and distant.

"What do you think of this tree?"

He stood uprightly under the tree and raised his chin slightly. He stared at the ginkgo tree with his wise eyes behind his glasses, seemingly indifferent, but it was just like he was looking at some old friend.

Nancy glanced at him and looked at the ginkgo tree too. Her voice was soft and tender.

"It greeted me just now, and I heard them say hello."

John Baker averted his gaze slightly when he heard the words. "Why them?"

Nancy tried hard not to be nervous and spoke to him in a soft voice. Although she spoke slowly, the articulation was clear and her voice was soft, which made it pleasant to listen to.

She shook her head honestly, "I don't know. I heard a lot of voices."

John broke into a faint smile, and he beckoned to her naturally. Nancy took a look at her parents. After they nodded as a sign, she went over.

John's gentle big palm fell on top of her head. He pressed her head neither lightly nor heavily.

"It's good that you're back."

The old tree had a spirit, and the child was witty. She was a rare innocent and nimble child.

Nancy stood beside her uncle. When she heard the words, her eyebrows and eyes were dancing with laughter. She nudged her furry head against his palm.

The old mansion of the Baker family was very quiet, but it was not that kind of loneliness. It was a sense of tranquility that made people feel calm.

At this time, a beautiful woman in traditional apparel walked out. When she was just standing there, one could feel a kind of firm ancient beauty in her. She was just like a beauty who walked out of a painting. Her whole body was filled with an elegant style.

"This is your aunt."

Windy patted Nancy's little head lightly to introduce the beautiful woman, then she nodded to the woman and laughed.

"Sister-in-law."

"Aunt."

Nancy also greeted the woman obediently and softly. The beautiful woman revealed a smile. She was already in her fifties, but time seemed to produce no effect on her, except for the bit of white hair that was amidst her hair. She seemed to be as charming as when she was young.

"Nancy, come here."

The voice of the beauty in traditional apparel was gentle, and when she smiled, there was a calming warmth in her eyes.

Looking at the beauty, the girl walked slowly over. Her aunt caught her slender, little hand and carefully observed her with a smile.

"It's great. You're very similar to your grandmother, and you'll be a famous beauty in the future. When you grow up, your father and brothers will be filled with headaches."

Her aunt spoke softly and warmly, and Nancy liked her aunt very much. She couldn't help but get a little closer, but there was a little confusion in her clear eyes about what her aunt had said. However, she was more concerned about another point.

"Aunt, do you know my grandma too?"

From their conversation, she could probably guess that the person who was coming home was her second cousin, and that was the cousin who liked to draw.

She just didn't know what the surprise they mentioned was.

In the meantime, Nancy's uncle and aunt went to the study. When they were back, her aunt put a green jade bracelet on Nancy's small wrist.

"This is the jade bracelet I wore when I was a child, and I don't have a girl at home. So, I'll leave it in your care."

The emerald green and crystal jade bracelet looked good on Nancy's white wrist, but her intuition told her that it should be very precious. Nancy looked at her mother nervously.

Windy was a little surprised. "My sister-in-law, isn't this... This is something you have been wearing since childhood."

It seemed that this bracelet was precious to her aunt.

The beauty in traditional apparel just smiled faintly. "What precious is only the friendship of the person who gave it to me. Well, it's just an object. Someone has to wear it and cherish it. It's been kept for a long time. It's a waste of it."

Seeing this, Windy no longer discouraged Nancy's aunt, and she just nodded to Nancy. "You have to accept the things given by elders. Nancy, just accept it."

Nancy merely said, "Hmm." She then put her white hands on her knees and said thanks to the woman softly and sincerely.

"Thank you, aunt. I'll cherish it properly."

The woman smiled and rubbed Nancy's head.

At this time, her dignified uncle also pushed a wooden box toward her.

"This is a gift from me." "

Nancy looked at him eagerly. "Can I open it?"

John raised his hand, took a sip of tea, and nodded slowly.
