“These two days? You’re just saying it to appease me, but you’re lying.”
Grandma’s voice sounded very frustrated and upset.
Elisa immediately said in exasperation, “How can that be, Grandma? I’m not lying to you!”
“Are you free tonight? Do you want to have dinner with me? No one is around. It’ll just be two of us.”
Old Madam Wickam’s voice sounded particularly feeble, as if afraid that Elisa wouldn’t agree.
If they were talking in person, Elisa was afraid that she would have to see Old Madam Wickam’s restless manner.
It was evident that Elisa didn’t want to see Grandma like that. She could only smile and say, “Alright. I will come over tonight.”
“Really? Are you lying to me, girl?”
Elisa chuckled. “When have I ever lied to you, Grandma?”
If no one else was around, she would be happy to go over to chat and eat with Grandma. She hadn’t wanted to go over previously because not everyone in the Wickam family liked her.
“That’s great!” Julia was overjoyed in an instant. She said at once, “I won’t be out in the afternoon, and no one else is home. Come over whenever. I’ll be waiting for you at home, my good girl.”
Elisa couldn’t help but laugh lightly. “Alright.”
