The two were fully captivated by their new laptops. They felt that Matthew was generous, as all the gifts he prepared for the annual dinner were expensive. Hence, they decided to let him off for now
Antony lifted his head, smiling faintly. “Mommy, we know that you’re busy with work. We understand.”
With that said, he kept his laptop and glanced at the time. “Mommy, we’re going to Great–grandpa’s home to celebrate the
New Year together. Mr. Dominic is almost here.”
Elizabeth was stunned for a moment. “What?”
She did not mention that she would return to the Wade residence for the New Year. Instead, she intended to go to the Hilton residence, as she wanted to celebrate the New Year with Matthew.
Just then, her phone started ringing. As soon as she noticed that it was Michael calling, she frowned.
Didn’t Grandpa say I could go home the next day after the New Year? That was why I accepted Old Mrs. Hilton’s
invitation
Left with no choice, Elizabeth picked up the call helplessly. “Grandpa.”
“Lizzy, come back and celebrate the New Year with us. I miss you so much.”
Elizabeth could tell from Michael’s voice that he was excited. However, she was in a dilemma. “Grandpa, c–can I come
home on the day after the New Year?”
Michael glanced at Richard, who was standing at the side. It’s rare for this brat to think of Lizzy. He even asked me to
invite Elizabeth home to celebrate the New Year together.
“Lizzy, can you come back now? You had been staying outside all these years, so I couldn’t even enjoy the New Year well. This year, you’ve come home. I’m finally relieved.”
Michael was telling the truth. He did not know what the others in the family felt over those six years. However, he missed Elizabeth more during the New Year. After all, he had loved and doted on her with all his heart since she was young. Hence, he felt that something was missing without her by his side.
