Chapter 871
Old Madam Atherton glanced at the doorand hesitated. "Can I get Uncle Edwin to show you how?
"Why? Are you giving up on me?" Ollie let go of the old lady's hand and lowered his eyes in disappointment. "I know I'm annoying. It's okay, I’ll just do the puzzle myself.”
Old Madam Atherton's heart immediately softened. She took Ollie's hand and said, "No, no, why would I give up on my own great-grandson? Come, I'll be here with you."
The puzzles were large and complicated. Ollie piled them all on the floor of the living room in a continuous line.
Old Madam Atherton was dazzled. Such a complicated puzzle; could a three-year-old actually solve this?
Ollie's tiny body stood up straight. "Great-grandma, can we start now?” he asked.
Old Madam Atherton could not bear to disappoint a child, "Okay, let's start! ' she replied to Ollie excitedly.
The puzzle pieces slowly converged into a completed image pattern.
As Old Madam Atherton looked at the wall clock in the living room, she realized that more than an hour had passed.
She rubbed her slightly stiff back and stood up from the sofa. At the same time, Miles came over excitedly with a colorful fruit platter in his hand.
"Great-grandma, I made this platter for you! Does it look good?" said Miles as he offered the fruit platter to Old Madam Atherton as if offering a treasure to her.
The old lady sat back on the sofa and replied to Miles with a smile, "What a smart boy you are! But next time, just let the servants do it, okay? I'm worried you might hurt your hand doing this."
"Don't worry, I'm a superhero!" Miles yelled as he took off his shoes and climbed onto the sofa, raising his eyebrows coolly. "Come, Great-grandma! Let me feed you some fruits."
With a piece of watermelon on his fork, he brought it to Old Madam Atherton. "Open your mouth. Ah....’
How cute!
"Great-grandma, Let me give you a massage. Thank you for doing the puzzle with me," said Ollie.
Ollie took off his shoes and climbed on the sofa too. He reached the back of Old Madam Atherton's back and started tapping on her shoulders gently with his tiny fists.
Although he was not a skilled masseuse, Old Madam Atherton was still very satisfied with his massage.
The two boys kept the old lady accompanied the entire night. Eventually, she got exhausted and went to her bed.
Before she fell asleep, Old Madam Atherton thought as if something was missing, as if she had forgotten something...
What was it, exactly? She just could not remember.
After coaxing the old lady to sleep, Miles and Ollie both took a deep breath and secretly exchanged glances.
