When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 785

I nodded while opening the box. In it, laid a pair of bracelets. I took one out and said to Nora, “Grandma would be happy if we bring one back. As for the other, Nora, would you be willing to realize Grandpa’s wish with me? If we pass the bracelets down as a family heirloom, we would be one big family.”

Nora was taken aback at my suggestion. She then turned to Channing.

Channing was bewildered too, then laughed heartily. “Nora, it seems you got a good friend!”

Nora laughed at his remark and accepted the bracelet. “It would be my honor. From now on, we are one big family.”

The mood lightened at dinner.

The day had turned dark when dinner was over.

 

Everyone sat chatting while sipping tea in the living room when Nora asked, “Scarlett, you told me that you have something to ask Grandpa. What is it?”

I almost forgot about it if she didn’t remind me about it. “Mr. Oberick, I have something to ask you.”

 

Channing was happy that he had more of an appetite than usual. He sat casually on the couch and grinned, “There is no need for you to be that courteous. Ask away.”

“I wanted to ask you about Winona Stovall. You mentioned her the other day when we had a meal together.”

Channing sat up straight after hearing Winona’s name. “How are you related to her?”

I replied, “She adopted me.”

He nodded with understanding. His gaze flickered between Ashton and me in silence. “It’s not surprising George would allow you to marry Ashton.”

“Grandpa, can you tell us already? The suspense is killing me!” urged Nora.

After a pause, Channing answered, “I don’t know Winona well. The only reason I know her was because of George. She was originally from K City but moved to R Province due to some reason. That was all I know about her.”

“Does my grandma have any relatives?” It had been so many years, but she had never told me anything about it.

“Surely she has them. She came from K City, so her relatives would be there. However, I fear that her relatives may have passed away since many years have passed.”

After that, I stopped asking as Channing didn’t seem to know much.

Moreover, all these were in the past. Grandma never told me anything about her. Maybe she really didn’t want anyone to know about it.

Lavelian Village was quiet at night. The autumn in September wasn’t cold but chilly.
