Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 279

Ramsey and Tanya White were genuinely surprised. They had been fully convinced that she wouldn't show up. They had heard she'd been back in town for a while, yet she hadn't bothered coming to family dinner during the holidays last fall.

They naturally assumed she had been too ashamed to show her face.

But now that she had actually appeared, their entire plan to scold her for having zero manners had to be completely shelved. Ramsey pulled a long, sour face and stayed silent, acting as if he hadn't even seen his granddaughter walk in.

Tanya obviously didn't harbor an ounce of affection for her either. She didn't even acknowledge the greeting, simply rising from the sofa to pull some tea from the coffee table drawer.

"Bachelor, drink this. It's a gift from one of your dad's old subordinates. Top-tier stuff. Your dad can't even bear to drink it himself," Tanya said, smiling warmly as she brewed him a cup. The exact second she was done, she hastily sealed the bag tight and tucked it away.

Then, she casually pulled out an entirely different bag of tea.

When she opened it, it was little more than cheap tea dust.

Tanya dumped the dregs into a cup, haphazardly splashed some hot water over it, and pushed it toward Shirley.

Shirley was more than used to it. The blatant favoritism from the older couple was staggering. Their sons and grandson were always treated to the finest food and drinks, while the daughters-in-law and granddaughter were left with the literal scraps.

Ramsey was a retired military man who had been assigned a decent managerial role back in the day. A staggering number of people gifted him things during the holidays. He would honestly rather let the expensive food and drinks rot away on the balcony than ever offer them to his granddaughter.

Everything was meticulously hoarded for their precious grandson.

Shirley didn't care about the items themselves; all she cared about was the attitude. Treating her daughter well was infinitely more important than treating her well.
