When they heard that they would go to the Rong Mansion to visit Great Grandpa and great grandma, Mili and Dot could not help but feel a little nervous.
Mili took out all the clothes in her wardrobe and asked, "Mommy, which one would you like me to wear?"
"Baby, you look good no matter which dress you wear." Essie smiled again. She was drawing a mask on Dot's face.
Although her grandparents knew Dot's identity, they had to keep it a secret from others in the Rong Mansion, including Zac's father, Albert. The kids were going to visit the Rong family today, not to get reunited with them. The material she applied on the face was natural pigment, thus it wouldn't hurt Dot's tender skin. She was just worried that her drawing might be faded with the water.
"When you arrive at your great grandpa's house. Be careful and don't say anything wrong," Essie warned.
"Don't worry, Mommy. We will be careful." Mili raised her little palm and promised her.
In the Rong Mansion, the servants got up early in the morning and prepared a table of fruit and desserts according to the old lady's instruction. The breakfast tea and lunch menu were also personally listed by herself.
Zac was called back by the old lady last night. When he saw that they were laughing happily and mystically refused to tell the reason, he was very confused.
The most strange thing was that his mom was sent away by his grandma the whole morning, as if she was hiding something from her.
But, seeing the servant was busy preparing desserts and fruits, catching fish and catching shrimps, he guessed that a guest would come, and it was also a distinguished guest.
"Grandma, who is coming today?" When he saw Alena coming in from the backyard, he quickly walked up to her and asked.
Since it was about the time her great grandchildren were coming, she didn't want to lie to her grandson. "Yes, it is Essie and the kids."
Zac was shocked. "You are in high spirits today because of them?"
"It's the first time for the children to visit our house. Of course I have to tell the servants to prepare well," the old lady said with a smile.
"Including sending my mommy away from home?" Zac said as he raised his eyebrows.
"She scared the kids last time. The kids are still scary. Why don't I ask her to leave? We don't want to let her spoil our good mood," Alena said with a sigh.
"You are so considerate." Zac nodded. If his mother was here, she would certainly give a hard time to Essie. Then things would be out of control.
At the same time, Albert went downstairs with Rabi in his arms. Zac gave him a big kiss on his cheek and said, "I'm going to tell you a good news. Mommy will bring brother and sister here later. Do you like it, baby?"
"Really? That's great! " Rabi could not help but smile while clapping his hands.
When Essie and the children got out of the car, uncle Li had been waiting for them at the gate for a long time. "Mrs. Rong, young master and little lady are here." Since the old lady had announced that Miss. Yi was still the granddaughter in law of the Rong family, he had to call her Mrs. Rong instead.
"This is Grandpa Li," Essie turned to the kids and said.
"Hello, Grandpa Li," Mili and Dot greeted him sweetly.
"Hello, young master and Lady Mili," said uncle Li with a smile.
Seeing Essie and the kids, Zac felt a little complicated. He didn't expect that his grandma and grandpa would ask them to come here.
It was also beyond Albert and the family of the third uncle's expectation. After all, the two children were born by Essie and another man. Wasn't it a shame for Zac to take them back home?
But on second thought, it was a critical time. The Alice was on good terms with Fell. The Xu family might ally with the Qin family by marriage at any time. The two elders must want to curry favor with Essie and consolidate the relationship with the Xu clan. So they also went along consciously. After all, the family interest was more important than anything else.
As soon as Mili and Dot saw Alena, they were shocked.
"Grandma, why are you here?" Mili opened her big eyes and asked in confusion.
"Mili, this is great grandma," Essie said.
"Great grandma?" Mili was startled. The old lady she saw in the park was just her great grandmother. She knew nothing about it and talked to her a lot. Was she...
She turned around and looked at Dot. Dot was also very surprised, but he didn't show it. He looked calm. If he guessed it right, his
great grandmother had already known who they were, so she asked them to come here today.
But judging from his dad's expression, he didn't know who they were. Presumably, great grandma was going to keep the secret for them.
"Great grandma, great grandpa, good morning." He took Mili's hand, walked towards her and bowed to her respectfully.
"Good kids." The two elders caressed the kids' heads dotingly. The old lady pointed at Albert and said, "This grandfather. Go say hello to grandfather."
"Grandpa? Is he daddy's daddy?" Mili asked.
"Yes, it's daddy's daddy," the old lady said with a smile.
