It was already evening when the car arrived in Yorksland and stopped in a villa.
When Christina opened her eyes, all she saw was a bamboo forest.
To be more specific, it was an outer courtyard filled with bamboo. There was a pebbled path leading toward the two-storied villa.
When she exited the vehicle, a gust of fresh air swept past her, carrying a faint bamboo fragrance.
I’ve lived in the heart of the city for so long that I’ve gotten used to all the dust and gas carbon. It feels like I’ve stepped into a new world here. As that thought swirled in Christina’s mind, a gust of cold wind blew at her, making her feel both refreshed and chilly.
A black coat settled on her shoulders as Nathaniel’s unique sandalwood scent enveloped her, making her feel warm.
He then took her small hand and led her inside.
Meanwhile, Sebastian followed them while carrying the gifts.
They weren’t the only visitors. When Christina ventured deeper into the courtyard, she saw around seven luxury cars parked outside.
Ever since Abraham Hadley passed away, Felicia Carson had been living alone in that peaceful villa.
She usually wouldn’t accept visitors all year long except on her birthday.
Naturally, her friends and families wouldn’t miss a once-in-a-year opportunity to visit her.
Everyone knew Felicia was religious, so the guests brought paintings and antiques related to her. religion as gifts.
When Christina entered the building, she saw a kindly old woman sitting in the middle of the living
room.
Felicia was wearing a quaint, plain-colored attire, appearing composed. Even though she was nearly seventy years old, she could still sit up straight.
Meanwhile, Julia was clad in a gown with vividly embroidered jasmine. Her hair was tied-up into a bun, and her makeup was light, giving her an air of dignified elegance.
Charlie was right next to her, donning a black suit. Hi refined vibe matched Julia, and they looked like the perfect couple while standing together.
Nathaniel brought Christina over to his elders and greeted, “Grandma.”
Felicia nodded as her gaze landed on Christina. She looks beautiful. I like her small face and bright eyes.
It was Christina’s first official meeting with the old woman, so she was feeling extremely anxious, even more anxious than when she went for a job interview.
Smiling, she uttered, “I hope you’ll live a long and healthy life, Grandma. Happy birthday.”

The solemn atmosphere was instantly shattered by the young woman’s sweet voice.
Felicia nodded with satisfaction. “Please, take a seat.”
“Thank you, Grandma.” Nathaniel spoke.
Regardless of the occasion, he always acted indifferently.
He escorted Christina to the seats at the side. The three generations of the Hadley family had assembled, generating an atmosphere too overpowering for ordinary people to handle.
Felicia turned to Julia. “Your gown is unique, Felicia. The embroidery is beautiful.”
“Thank you, Mom.” Julia glanced at Christina.
Her indifferent gaze made it challenging to tell what she was thinking.

Considering how much she dislikes me, I don’t think she’ll necessarily be delighted by that compliment. Christina thought.
