Chapter 733 The Sourness Within

But was it really a preference?

If it was, then why did he hand over the company that her mother had created to Catherine?

Even, he had already chosen Hazel as the successor of the company?

Heron Island Mansion.

The butler was already waiting outside respectfully, and when he saw Nellie get down from the car, he respectfully stepped forward, "Lady Nellie, you've finally here, Master has been waiting for you."

"Okay." Nellie nodded indifferently and handed a large wrapped gift box to Evan, the butler.

And Evan froze for a moment when he saw the gift handed over.

"Lady Nellie, what are you doing?" Nellie rarely came back.

And now, she came back with a gift?

"Good nourishment for Grandma."

"Okay, okay." Evan was almost in tears of excitement at this moment when he heard that it was for the old lady.

Over the years, since the death of their young lady, Nellie had become silent since she was only ten years old.

She never let anyone inquire about her life, not to mention George, she did not even showed care to the old lady, her grandmother.

And when she came back from Ingford, it was as if she was a different person.

Inside Heron Island, snow covers the spotted bamboo, and in the tea room, the old lady sat at the table as the scent of tea lingered throughout the courtyard.

At a glance, Nellie saw the old lady's whitening hair behind the glass.

At that moment, her heart ached.

"Lady Nellie, please go in." The butler appeared behind Nellie, who nodded and went in.

The maid saw her enter and respectfully stepped forward to receive her snow-covered trench coat. The old lady watched her without saying a word and was filled with a loving smile.

Nellie took off her stern elegance and stepped forward like a child, brushing into the old lady's arms, "Grandma."

"You finally come back."

"I'm sorry." Nellie said with an apologetic voice.

The old lady patted her shoulder lovingly and embraced each other silently, swept away the barriers that had separated her all these years.

When Nellie was ten years old, her mother committed suicide less than two months after her father filed for divorce for cheating on her.

This incident caused a great blow and damage to Nellie's heart. She hated her mother and therefore hardly went back to her grandmother's house.

But in the last two months, she had returned from time to time, and no one knew what had happened, but every glance she took of the old woman was pierced with pain.

"Madam, this is what Lady Nellie has brought back for you." The butler smiled as he brought the things in and said to the old lady.

As soon as the old lady heard that Nellie had brought something for her, the smile on her face was even more overflowing with unconcealed happiness.

"It is not necessary."

"I haven't bought anything nice for you, Grandma," Nellie was somewhat unable to continue.

Her throat was choked at one point.

The old lady heard the haze in her voice and soothed, "There, there."

All morning, Nellie drank tea and chatted with her grandmother, Martha.

In the middle, the butler of George called many times, but Nellie did not answer any of them.

At the lunch table, sourness welled up in Nellie's heart as she looked at these food that he loved to eat as a child.

Nellie carefully helped the old lady with the food, "Grandma, eat this."
