NovelEnglishChapter 1109 Margaret was sitting on the sofa and drinking tea when Lily cdownstairs.
Lily noted that Margaret seemed a little tired but did not harbor an air of menace. Margaret probably was not here for a fight.
“Grandma,” Lily called out as she walked over to Margaret.

"I know. Why are you here today?” Lily nodded at Margaret's show of concern and smiled.
Margaret put down the teacup and looked around. "Is Alex not home?" "He's usually at the company at this tand isn't back yet. You should know that, right Grandma?” Lily replied. Her words implied that Margaret should know this and have a purpose in coming at this hour.
Margaret coughed dryly to cover up her embarrassment when Lily had exposed her intention. She then picked up the teacup once again and took a sip. "Yeah, he should still be at the company at this hour. He's just like his grandfather. Hugo was also very diligent and was always a busy man.” There was a hint of sadness in Margaret's eyes. She was thinking of the past and her late husband.
Lily could grasp what Margaret wanted to convey and kept silent.
"Oh my, why am | talking about this?” Margaret returned to her senses after a brief moment of silence. She waved away her thoughts as she smiled at Lily sitting opposite her. “Lily, csit here." She patted the seat next to her.
Lily did not know how to respond. She was not used to being treated so intimately all of a sudden. However, she did not refuse as she felt that Margaret was doing this out of kindness.
She got up and sat next to Margaret. Unexpectedly, Margaret reached out to take her hands and placed them on her lap. "I'm sorry, my child." "What is it, Grandma?" Lily got caught off guard by this sudden change and wondered what Margaret was trying to do.

Lily nodded. "We do. You cto send us a gift. You also bought us a lot of things.” That was half the truth. Lily pretended not to know what happened later and did not mention it. She could not figure out Margaret's true intentions, so she feigned ignorance.
"Haha..." Margaret laughed, but her throat was a little dry. She was the one who took the initiative to bring up this, but she was still a little embarrassed.
"Okay, there's no need to feign ignorance. I'm sure you know the reason for my previous visit. That's right. | was covering for Ralph. You lost something previously, right?" she asked straightforwardly.
"Umm..." Lily stammered as she did not know how to reply.
This old lady did not play by the book. She used to beat around the bush, but now she was throwing a straight ball. Had she figured things out, or was this a new strategy? After sthought, Lily nodded. "Yes, we lost something, but it’s not important. | think it was just a coincidence. It shouldn't have anything to do with your visit, Grandma." These were just cover-up words to make matters appear less ugly.
Margaret had not visited for a long time, and they suddenly lost something as soon as she visited. She was the most prominent suspect, but Lily insisted it was just a coincidence.
