Chapter 759
“Auntie…”
The sweet and tender voice of Grace came through the
screen, warming Taya’s heart.
“Grace, do you miss me?”
“Yes……”
After Grace nodded, she lifted her phone and turned it in the
direction behind her.
Then she flung herself in front of the screen, covered her mouth with her little hand and whispered, “Auntie, Strange
Uncle took me to the cemetery and I saw your picture here.”
“But, Strange Uncle said it isn’t you in the picture, it’s my mum.”
“Auntie, is that really my mother lying under that tombstone?”
Grace batted her thin and slightly curled eyelashes, and
looked innocently at Taya on the screen.
At the sight of Grace’s innocent little face, there was a
moment when Taya’s heart felt a wrenching pain.
It was unclear whether she was sympathizing with Grace or her sister’s wolf spirit was breaking after seeing her daughter.
She raised her hand and covered her heart, which was so painful that it made her breathless. With a trembling voice, she comforted Grace, “Your Strange Uncle is lying to you,
don’t believe him.”
Grace was relieved to receive Taya’s answer, and even her chubby little face relaxed.
“Dad said that my mum had gone to heaven, and she would come back to see me when I was five years old.”
“Although she didn’t come when I celebrated my fifth birthday,
I think she’ll be back to see me.”
Taya forced a smile and asked Grace, “Do you know what
heaven is?”
Grace patted her chest and nodded, “Of course I know. Dad
told me that heaven is a place where people who are like
angels stay. He also said that only good-looking people can go to heaven…”
Thinking of good-looking people, Grace suddenly
remembered the man she used to meet who was better
looking than a movie star.
When she thought of George saying he was Taya’s future husband, she suddenly became excited and giggled coming close to the screen.
“Auntie, Auntie, George says you’re getting mated soon, are you going to have a baby as beautiful as Uncle Griffon?”
Taya couldn’t help but smiled when she saw that only Grace’s mouth and teeth were left on the entire screen, “Yes.”
Grace held the phone, raised her hand and made a “yeah” gesture, “Yeah, that’s great! I’ll have a good-looking little
brother!”
Taya wanted to ask Grace why the baby to be born was a
brother and not a sister, but then she heard Grace exclaim, “A good-looking person like Uncle Griffon should stay in heaven. like my mum.”
Taya’s heart tightened. Although it was just an innocent pup’s unintentional words, such ominous words still made her heart
sk ip a beat, “Grace, Uncle Griffon still has a lot of things to do,
he won’t go to heaven for the time being, don’t say things like
that in the future.”
Seeing that her aunt did not seem very happy, the observant Grace hurriedly put away her excited expression, lowered her
head and said carefully, “Auntie, I’m sorry.”
Seeing Grace’s loss, Taya suddenly felt guilty, “Grace, I spoke too harshly just now, don’t take it to heart.”
Grace’s personality was sensitive but also generous, “Auntie,
I don’t mind, but… I think I understand what heaven is all about.”
Her head hung lower, drooping a few more degrees as she said, “When I watch TV, I hear people inside saying that heaven is where dead people go. But I don’t want to believe that my mom is dead, so I choose to believe my dad. But just now, when I saw you didn’t want Uncle Griffon to go to heaven, I knew my dad had lied to me.”
