Chapter 54
Since Ruby still wanted to play up the illusion of mother-daughter harmony, she was willing to cooperate.
She was hugged by Ruby for a while before she pushed her away. She said with grief, “Mom, I also miss you very much. When I wandered outside and was homeless for the past five years, what I missed the most is your love and protection for me. Now I’m back. Will you still love and pamper me like in the past?”
Pride could be seen in Ruby’s eyes.
Adina the brat was indeed the same as five years ago. As long as she pretended to show some concern, this brat would jump into the trap she set up.
Did this stupid brat still want to take revenge on the Daugherty family?
Ha! No way!
Ruby’s smile only widened. She held Adina’s hand and affectionately said, “Of course. I always love you like my own daughter. No matter what mistakes you make, I’ll still love and pamper you.”
As she spoke, she held Adina’s hand and walked into the house.
A few people were already sitting at the round dining table.
Adina’s second and third uncles, as well as Aaron, sat next to Old Mrs. Daugherty accordingly, while Ruby held Adina’s hand and sat at the other side of the dining table.
When Adina saw Old Mrs. Daugherty whose hair turned gray, her eyes suddenly became teary. She suppressed her emotion, and she whispered, “Grandma, I’m back.”
Old Mrs. Daugherty’s hand trembled. She gently patted the back of Addy’s hand, sighed, and said, “It’s great that you’re back… it’s great…”
She just said this sentence, but said nothing more.
Adina felt a little disappointed.
