Chapter 40

Wanda was seated in the armchair while a few elegantly dressed women conversed with

her.

“Grandma!” Mikayla called out in a bright tone.

The crowd’s attention was drawn over.

A radiant smile spread across Wanda’s face when she caught sight of Mikayla.

“Look who’s here!”

Mikayla and Jerome approached Wanda.

“Grandma. Greetings to all the lovely ladies here,” Jerome greeted politely.

“You’re truly a caring person, Jerome. Unlike some in our family who claim to be busy all the time, you always make time for Grandma!”

“Exactly. Is there anything that can keep Jerome too occupied? He’s in charge of Miller Group but still managed to find time to be here. Frankly, he must find us elders a bit bothersome.”

“Certainly! Jerome is both capable and devoted. Mrs. Miller Senior is certainly fortunate

to have him!”

Jerome maintained a faint smile as he listened to the praises.

He glanced at Mikayla briefly and replied, “Aunts, you’re too kind. But I don’t get as much time as I’d like to spend with Grandma. Kay usually takes care of that.”
