Chapter 1984 Harmony
Bella smiled. “Grandma will definitely be very happy to know. She was quite upset yesterday when you called, and
she didn’t pick up. She was grumbling about everything at home. One moment she was complaining about why
Maria didn’t wake her up, the next moment, she was questioning why you only called once, and then she was
blaming herself for sleeping at that time.”
At first, Elisa found it quite amusing, but upon careful reflection, all that was left was a sense of melancholy.
Elisa also understood what Bella wanted to express.
“Don’t worry. We’ll go home together after work today,” Elisa said.
Bella nodded, then finally left.
After watching Bella leave, Elisa picked up her phone and succinctly informed Gareth about the situation.,
The response from the other end was swift.
Gareth replied: I’ll fetch you from your office in the evening.

arrive.
Maria was at the side, earnestly advising. “Madam Smith, it’s quite windy outside. Perhaps we should wait
indoors.”

that. “I’m in great health. What are you on about? Do you think a little wind can make me sick?”
After much anticipation, the three finally arrived.
Julia immediately changed her tune when she said. “So you’ve finally arrived? You have no idea how long I’ve been
waiting for you outside. It’s unbearably cold out there.”
Maria just stood by, smiling.
Elisa and Bella exchanged a glance, and each took one of Julia’s arms, supporting her as they walked inside.
Gareth resignedly followed half a step behind, with Maria trailing behind him.
As Elisa walked, she said, “Grandma, the wind outside is indeed strong. You don’t have to wait for us outside next
time. Have you forgotten that you still need to take care of your health? Don’t take it lightly just because you’ve
been feeling better recently.”
Upon hearing that, Julia gave Elisa’s hand a gentle pat, her eyes crinkling in a smile. “All right. I’ll do as you say, Liz.”

After speaking, Bella turned to Elisa and said, “Elisa, you should call more often to keep an eye on Grandma. She

how to be a smooth talker.”
Elisa understood and grasped the meaning of Bella’s words.

With that, they arrived at the dining table, and everyone took their seats.
Julia sat in the main seat, with Elisa to her immediate left and Gareth sitting close beside her.
The first one on the right was Bella.
Normally, considering his status and familial relations, Gareth, as the eldest son, would be seated at the first spot
on the left.
Yet, he was willing to sit beside Elisa instead, help her add more dishes, and peel the shrimp.
Julia looked and simply smiled.
In no time, the bowls in front of Elisa piled up like a mountain.
Feeling a bit embarra*sed, Elisa glanced at Julia and Bella, who both wore teasing expressions on their
-faces.
With a fake smile, she leaned toward Gareth and whispered, “Stop serving me more food…”
