"Grandma," Mavis couldn't help smile, "I'm in a hurry. I went to the coffee shop, and I'm on my way now. I'll be home in about ten minutes. What delicious food did you cook?"
Paloma felt relieved when she heard it.
She greeted warmly. "There are a lot of delicious food, all of which you like. Come back quickly."
"Okay."
Paloma who hung up the phone lost a little enthusiasm.
She stared at the table full of food. Her waist was a little sore, because she hadn't cooked for a long time, and she was still a little uncomfortable working.
Rebecca advised her several times to take a break, but Paloma was energetic for no reasons, and she insisted on making this meal herself.
When she stared straight at the food on the table, Rebecca asked her, "Grandma, why do you seem unhappy?"
Paloma came back to her senses, sighed, and asked Rebecca, "Do you think Mavis really came back because she was not feeling well?"
Rebecca pondered for a while, then shook her head and said, "No."
"A person who is not feeling well could not go out to deal with some urgent matter. She can't even tell a lie. Rebecca, Mavis is suffering now. We want to make her as happy as possible and not mention the unhappy things."
Paloma was old and spoke slowly.
It was precisely because of this that Rebecca can listen to it, and it always had a somewhat meaningful feeling.
Rebecca nodded in response.
She more or less understood that if she were Mavis, she would have left by now.
As an outsider, Rebecca had selfish intentions and wanted Mavis to stay longer. Grandma liked her very much, and she liked her too.
...
Soon, Mavis arrived at home.
Paloma greeted her enthusiastically, telling Mavis to wash her hands and eat.
When passing by the dining table, Mavis couldn't hold back her curiosity and took a look.
A table full of delicacies.
It seemed that for this meal, grandma really made a lot of efforts.
Mavis had always liked Crana's food. Compared with those single-flavored steaks, it seemed that the people here can always make common ingredients different.
Paloma couldn't help laughing when she saw her childish actions. "This is all for you. Don't just smell it. Wash your hands and eat."
Mavis turned around excitedly.
"It smells so good."
With that said, she went to wash her hands.
Rebecca rarely saw her being so happy, and always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was that.
Since Anthony seldom came home for dinner, they were not waiting for him.
Mavis enjoyed the meal.
Paloma was afraid that she hadn't eaten enough, so she kept serving her food.
Paloma hid her emotions quietly since she had gone through a lot of things, but Mavis couldn't hold back.
All along, so many things happened. She didn't eat well and didn't know how the baby in her womb felt now. She just felt that she had treated the baby badly.
After the meal, Mavis felt much better.
Anthony came back very late. When she heard the movement, she wanted to talk to him, but he turned around and went into the study, and never came out again.
He didn't even give her a chance to chat.
Early the next morning, Mavis was still waiting for him, but was told by the servant at home that Anthony had left early.
Now she was almost sure that this man was hiding from her on purpose.
The sound of collisions kept coming from upstairs. Mavis wanted to go upstairs to have a look, but Rebecca came out of the wash and stopped her directly.
