“Today, if Grandpa didn’t blurt it out of anger, I still wouldn’t know that Grandma was deaf in her left ear.”
Justin smiled bitterly, feeling guilty. “Isn’t it ridiculous? As their grandson, I spent the most time with Grandpa and Grandma since I was little, but I never noticed anything unusual with Grandma…”
“I know about this. Grandpa Nigel told me during Christmas that year, when I went to visit Grandma with him…”
At the unintentional mention of Christmas, Bella immediately stopped speaking and dared not continue.
This year’s Christmas was less than two months away.
The Thompson family loved festivities. Every Christmas, they would put up a grand and beautiful Christmas tree in the living room, and Asher would prepare gifts for each family member. He would also spend out of his pocket to buy gifts for the household workers.
But because of the unborn child she lost, Bella did not dare to celebrate Christmas anymore, not even daring to return home on the day of Christmas.
That was in the past.
Now, she did not bring it up because she was worried Justin would be reminded of unpleasant matters, making him upset.
Indeed, the man’s eyes reddened instantly. He hugged her tightly and spoke after a long while. “Thank you… Bella. Thank you for everything you’ve done for Grandpa and me over the years.”
He could not continue anymore.
“Since you know how much I did, you must treat me nicely for a lifetime.” Bella’s smile was bright and cheerful as she patted his trembling back.
“For this year’s Christmas, can you take me in and let me celebrate with your family?” Justin’s gaze was intense, his long eyelashes fluttering as he tried to hold back his surging emotions. “I heard the Christmas tree in your family is huge. I’d like to see it.”
Bella leaned against his heaving chest like a soft little kitten. “You’ll have to get to work if you come.”
The man’s voice was gentle. “Okay.”
