"Ah?" Michelle was confused and surprised, "Grandma, how do you know I call him cousin? He is Berry's cousin, so I also call him cousin as Berry did. "
"Silly girl." Grandma gently pinched her face and said, "According to the seniority, he is your cousin."
Vicente suddenly stood up with his eyes wide open, "Grand... Grand..."
It was so unbelievable that he stuttered. Grandma continued with a smile, "You should call me grandaunt, your father called me aunt."
His grandaunt, who he thought has passed away, appeared in front of him. Vicente was stunned for a while before he answered, "Oh, grand..."
"Grandaunt." Grandma said with a smile.
"Grandaunt." Vicente blinked his eyes. It was not difficult to accept the fact since he already noticed that she looked like his deceased grandaunt.
"Grandaunt!" The joy of seeing his idol completely occupied his mind. Vicente sat back happily, held her hand and said, "Are you really my grandaunt? My father often mentioned you to my mother. You are Mona Nangong, the female count that thousands of people admired. Later, my mother often mentioned you to me. She hoped I could be..."
'As excellent as you.
You are a female count, and so am I. But I am not as capable as you are, so I can only disguise as a man.'
He almost blurted out the secret with joy.
Vicente's voice suddenly stopped. Mona raised her eyebrows curiously, then Vicente immediately changed the topic, "Grandaunt, you are my idol!"
Mona knew the word "idol". She was amused by him and then smiled. "Then who is the count now?"
"Me!" Vicente said proudly.
Mona smiled, "Can you take the responsibility for the whole family now?"
"Of course!" Vicente smiled brightly. "I couldn't do that before. With the help of Nina, I can do it now."
"Great." Mona clapped his hands with relief. She thought that now Vicente was the count and had real power, and he had a good relationship with Michelle. In this way, Michelle wouldn't be alone and helpless in C Island in the future.
"Michelle." Mona turned her head to look at Michelle, only to find that Michelle and Elaine standing in front of her were both stunned.
But her husband was calm.
She had told her husband about it, but she kept it a secret from her daughter and granddaughter.
"Are you frightened?" Mona stretched out her hand to pull Michelle to sit down next to her. Then she looked at her daughter and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I haven't told you and your sister that I'm from C Island."
After all, Elaine was more than 40 years old. She finally reacted and quickly accepted it. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to ask.
It didn't matter where her mother was from. Anyway, she was her mother who gave birth to her and raised her up.
"I..." Elaine suddenly smiled, "I'm still a little surprised. I'll go to see if they have washed the fruit."
"Grandma!" It took a while for Michelle to realize what had happened. She shook her legs with both hands and said, "That statue, that female count! Grandma, you are that female count called Monna. No wonder I felt I was familiar with her. I've seen a photo of you and grandpa when you were young. Now the more I think about her, the more I felt familiar!"
Mona corrected her, "The statue has been there for a long time. My name tag has become obscure, so they thought my name is Monna."
"Okay, I see!" Michelle nodded excitedly and looked at Vicente, "You are really my cousin!"
'I'm actually your elder female cousin.' Vicente thought.
He couldn't help laughing and nodded, "Yes, I am."
After washing the fruits, Adams and Leon came out and saw the atmosphere in the living room was a little excited. They met Elaine who was going to look for them. Adams asked her, "What's wrong?"
"Well..." Elaine hesitated for a moment and said, "In fact, my mother is from C Island, and her identity seems to be not simple."
When Leon heard this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Although he hadn't found it out yet, judging from the situation, he thought it was almost the same as he guessed.
'God can't wait to help me.
No, it is grandma.
Vicente asked, "Is that why you came out from the island?"
Not exactly, it was more because Mona was cornered by her brother that she used the strategy to escape.
However, it was better not to let the younger generation know such a grudge, and to save her brother's face. After all, he was Vicente's grandfather.
So Mona nodded and said, "Yes."
"……" Vicente was shocked, "The fate of our family is really... Surprisingly consistent. "
"What?" Mona didn't understand.
Leon couldn't help laughing, "My sister Nini ran away immediately when she heard that she was going to be engaged to Count Nangong when she was eighteen years old."
Vicente was speechless.
"Leon, don't mention that. I'm afraid you'll be the next one." Vicente smiled.
There were already two astonishingly similar history. Perhaps there would be a third one. What if the next person to escape from marriage was Michelle?
Hearing that, Leon's face froze.
Seeing that his expression, Vicente laughed complacently, and so did everyone else. The embarrassment that Leon appeared in the home of Michelle disappeared.
Leon looked at Vicente with gratitude.
"Go with them." Adams looked at his daughter and said, "Go to C Island with your grandparents. You have to be responsible for your own choice."
Their children had their own fates, and they could not interfere too much.
Elaine sighed, "Go with them."
Adams and Elaine reluctantly agreed to their marriage.
