A Replacement Bride

Chapter 154

"Noah? Come, let me take a look at you." After being momentarily caught off-guard, Jennifer recovered quickly and extended her hand toward Noah with a smile.

Noah wasn't particularly close to Jennifer. Seeing her actions, the girl instinctively raised her head to look at Joaquin.

Joaquin couldn't help the warmth in his chest when he felt the dependance and trust the little girl in front of her had for him. It was a strange feeling that he felt for the first time.

He then reached out and gently rubbed her head before saying softly, "Go ahead."

Only then did she release his hand and shuffled in front of Jennifer.

Seeing this, Jennifer gave Joaquin a shocked look while her eyes darted back and forth between Joaquin and Noah's face for a long time. In fact, she was surprised by how similar the child and Joaquin looked!

After Noah reached Jennifer, she softly called out in her wispy voice, "Nana."

"Oh, you sweet child. You must have been tired from the trip here. Are you hungry?" Jennifer's hands were shaking from excitement. She raised one hand to pat Noah on the head, but eventually retracted it when she didn't have the courage to touch Noah.

"Grandma, Noah must be tired. Let her have a rest for a while. I will cook." Katherine carried Noah's luggage into a room, and when she was greeted by the sight of Jennifer and her red eyes when she came out, she quietly sighed and walked over to hold Noah's hand.

Noah's calm eyes lit up when Katherine grabbed her hand. She then allowed Katherine to hold her as she followed Katherine into the room obediently.

Jennifer raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes. Seeing this, Joaquin went over and handed her a tissue.

After she took the tissue from him, she lamented, "Noah has had a hard life."
