Elisa immediately said in exasperation, “How can that be, Grandma? I'm not lying to you!” “Are you free tonight? Do you want to have dinner with me? No one is around. It'll just be two of us.” Old Madam Wickam’s voice sounded particularly feeble, as if afraid that Elisa wouldn't agree.

It was evident that Elisa didn’t want to see Grandma like that. She could only smile and say, “Alright. | will cover tonight.” “Really? Are you lying to me, girl?” Elisa chuckled. “When have | ever lied to you, Grandma?” If no one else was around, she would be happy to go over to chat and eat with Grandma. She hadn't wanted to go over previously because not everyone in the Wickam family liked her.
“That's great!” Julia was overjoyed in an instant. She said at once, “l won't be out in the afternoon, and no one else is home.
Cover whenever. I'll be waiting for you at home, my good girl.” Elisa couldn't help but laugh lightly. “Alright.” The two of them talked for a while more before they hung up.
Rachel looked at Elisa. “Are you going over tonight?” “Mm. After we shop for a while more, I'll go over and spend twith her. She’s quite bored at home,” Elisa said seriously.
Rachel couldn't help but burst out laughing. “Large families, especially those of the sage as Grandma, would usually bully and look down on women. | never thought that Old Madam Wickam would be so gentle and have such high regard for you.

When | had my divorce, | wondered if she would be disappointed in me. | never thought that she would be afraid of others holdingin contempt after the divorce, so she intentionally announced publicly that | was her granddaughter at her birthday party. | was very surprised by it.” Rachel chuckled. “Yes. | was stupefied. It's just that... with Old Madam Wickam'’s status, things are difficult at times. You don’t want to disappoint or upset her, but you don’t want to deal with those from the Wickam family too much. It's not easy...” Elisa's lips twitched. “Sometimes, | have no other way.” After they finished their food and shopped until around two in the afternoon, she parted ways with Rachel. At three, she arrived at Wickam Manor. According to Elisa's assumption, Grandma had been awake for half an hour.
Old Madam Wickam was suddenly astonished when she saw Elisa's figure. She never imagined that the girl would cover so early. The next moment, she grabbed Elisa’s hand happily.
“Good girl. You cso early to see me. | believe you!” Elisa was unexpectedly unable to restrain her smile. “From what you're saying, you didn’t believe me, did you?” “Isn't it understandable? You haven't cto visitfor a long time, girl!” Old Madam Wickam said accusingly, but she didn't let go of Elisa’s hand.
Elisa didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry as she and Old Madam Wickam sat on the couch. “Next time, I'll cand see you when | have the chance to.” MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
