Back at Callahan Residence, Rebecca and Timothy were already waiting for them.
Seeing grandma getting out of the car, Rebecca trotted over, hugged grandma, and said affectionately, "Grandma, you are finally back. I have been thinking about you these days."
Paloma scratched the tip of Rebecca's nose and joked, "Little girl, don't use these words to fool me. Since you miss me, why don't you come and see me?"
"Hey, did I? It's because I still have some things to do, so I haven't taken time to see you."
Rebecca stuck out her tongue, a little guilty.
If Paloma knew that she hadn't done anything, she will have to listen to her nagging again.
"Don't think I don't know what kind of temperament you have. Little girl, do you want to lie to me?"
Paloma looked at Timothy, "Why you losing weight again? Anthony must have bullied you."
Anthony's face darkened when he heard his grandma mentioning him again.
Timothy hurriedly explained, "No, grandma. I'm busy with a new project during this time. Anthony is busy with managing the company. He's the most laborious one."
"Okay grandma, don't stand outside when you just came back. I've already arranged a room for you. Come in and have a look."
After Rebecca finished speaking, she dragged Paloma into the house.
Mavis walked behind a few people, relieved.
So far, Paloma was easy to get along with.
While thinking about things, Mavis walked behind, unknowingly falling behind the crowd.
Anthony turned his head and saw that she was absent-minded, so he stopped and asked, "You're walking so slowly. Isn't it cold?"
Seeing his urging, Mavis quickly suppressed the emotion on her face and followed.
As soon as the two entered the door, Paloma came over and took Mavis' hand, "What are you doing outside? I heard Rebecca said that you are a wonderful child. You have been at our home for so long, but I haven't come to see you. It's really my fault."
Mavis hurriedly waved her hands, "Grandma, it's not like that. Your body has not recovered. It should be us who go to see you. It's wrong for us juniors."
Paloma liked Mavis very much when she saw Mavis being humble, polite and not arrogant.
"Mavis, I heard from Rebecca that you and Anthony are both working in the Callahan Group now? You are still working as his assistant. Don't worry. You can do this job if you want. If you don't want to, you can stay at home. Our family can support you."
Seeing the enthusiasm from Paloma, Mavis smiled, "Grandma, I know your kindness, but I think people always have something to do, not to mention I don't want Anthony to support me. I have the ability to be his helper."
Hearing this, Paloma liked Mavis more.
"You are very thoughtful. Can you go out with me tomorrow? Rebecca will follow along."
Mavis would not refuse Paloma's proposal.
It was rare that Paloma liked her very much, and she couldn't ask for more, "Oaky, grandma."
"I'm going upstairs to rest. You can go about your business."
After waving to the juniors, Paloma went straight upstairs.
Huh--
Mavis let out a long breath, and the tension in her heart slowly disappeared.
Rebecca walked over, stood next to Mavis, and said with a smile, "I didn't lie to you, Mavis. I have said grandma would like you."
"I thought grandma would be the kind who is very serious and pays attention to the rules and family status."
After listening to Mavis' words, Rebecca burst out laughing.
"Mavis, I think you have been affected by the plots on the Internet and in TV shows, right?"
Mavis was a little embarrassed, "Rebecca, I 'm going to rest first. I'm a little tired."
After speaking, Mavis went upstairs.
