Chapter 1660

"Charlie, give Grandma a kiss, will you?" Mrs. Lucas asked, holding the child in her arms.

Charlie shook his head firmly. "No!"

Mrs. Lucas froze for a moment, a flicker of hurt flashing across her face. But she understood that it would take time for them to fully accept her. She didn't push it. "Alright, let's just keep taking the photos."
