The old master's senile eyes were fixed on her. "When I first learned of your existence, I was very surprised and excited! However, Linda had been married into the Gray family for more than 20 years, and had always been a diligent family member. She wass a good wife, a good daughter-in-law, and a good mother at the same time. For this reason, when you first came to our house that day, as the most important person in this family, I had to consider more of the feelings of Linda and her daughter. I was relatively indifferent to you at that time, and my words were very sharp. I felt apologetic to you afterwards..."
"Wendy, will you blame me for that?"
Wendy bit her lips and looked up. She could see his white hair and wrinkled, aged face. There were now only kind facial expressions on his face. These facial expressions reminded her of her grandmother.
She shook her head. "No..."
"Good girl!" The old master took her hand up happily.
Wendy raised the other hand to hold the old master's hands too.
After asking Wendy to play another chess game, the old master looked at the time and insisted that she should go out with him to meet an old friend. Although Wendy wanted to refuse, she was worried that it would be inappropriate for the old man to go out alone. For this reason, she nodded and agreed.
"Old Master, Miss Madge is here!"
As they walked down the stairs, a servant came over and reported.
As soon as the servant finished her words, a sweet female voice was heard, "Grandpa!"
Madge Gray walked in with a lot of large or small bags in her hand. When she caught sight of Wendy, her eyes slightly narrowed and she handed all the things in her hands to the servant. She then quickly stepped forward and grabbed the old master's arm. "My mother asked me to bring you some pilos deer horns and 'winterworm-summerherb'. I'll make them into delicious soup for you later. Last time you said you don't like the soup. This time I'll add some Chinese wolfberries into the soup, and it will taste more delicious."
"I'm happy to feel your filial piety. Good girl!" Eduardo said with a bright smile.
Noticing that they were not heading to the living room but to the hallway, Madge could not help but ask in surprise, "Grandpa, are you going out?"
"Yes." Eduardo nodded. He looked at Wendy by his side and added with a smile, "I have an old friend who wants to see me. It's unconvenient for me to go out alone. Wendy happens to be here, and we'll go together."
Hearing this, Madge's heart twitched, but the smile on her face did not change. She held the old master's arm more tightly and said with a sweet smile, "Grandpa, why didn't you tell me? I can go with you too!"
"Oh...That's all right!" Eduardo patted her hand.
Madge continued, "Grandpa, shall I go with you? There will be two persons to take care of you if I go with you!"
The corners of Wendy's lips curled up slightly.
There was some hesitation on Eduardo's face. Finally, after seeing Madge's subtle movements, he shook his head and said, "No. Madge, didn't you just say that you want to make me some delicious soup? You'll stay at home and prepare for the soup. We're going to have dinner together. Just let Wendy go out with me!"
For him, the two granddaughters were equally important in terms of blood relations.
Although Madge had accompanied him since childhood, and therefore he was more sentimentally attached to her to some extent, the old master still wished that he could do something to make up for all the sufferings gone through by Wendy, who had just been recognized as a new family member. He wanted his two granddaughters to accompany him and go out, and he also hoped that the two of them could get along well with each other. However, Wendy and Madge were involved in the same man in a triangle love affair. It was inevitable that they would feel uncomfortable and embarrassed when they see each other.
Madge felt unhappy, but she still nodded with a smile showing two dimples on her face, "Okay, Grandpa. Please take care of yourself!"
Wendy only knew that she needed to accompany the old master to meet an old friend. The car stopped in front of a traditional- style tea house, and they entered the elevator with the waiter.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
