Coolest Girl in Town 

Chapter 236 

After slamming the door shut, Elise crouched down, wrapped her arms around her knees, and broke into sobs. She didn’t know why she was so upset. Even though she had never experienced love from her parents, she was especially content with Robin and Laura’s doting affection for her. Not only that, but she felt blessed to grow up in such a family. To think that Id suddenly be told one day that all of this is false, and that Im only an adopted child who is no different from those kids in the orphanage... It broke her heart even more to think of this.

After a long time, there was a knock on the door. “What’s wrong with you, Elise?”

Elise froze when she heard Laura’s concerned voice from behind. She hastily wiped the tears off her face, took a deep breath, and replied, “I’m fine, Grandma.”

However, the sobs in Elise’s voice were so noticeable that there was no way Laura didn’t notice them. She pushed the door open and quickly switched on the light, asking, “What’s wrong, Elise? Why are you crying?”

Looking at her amiable grandmother before her, Elise took a big step forward and reached out to hold Laura in her arms. “Grandma…”

Baffled, Laura quickly patted Elise on the back, thinking that the latter had just had a nightmare. “There, now. It’s alright. You had a nightmare, huh?”

Elise merely held Laura tightly in her arms without saying a word.

“It’s alright. It’s just a dream, so don’t be afraid. Your grandpa and I are here.”

Elise could no longer stop her tears from running down her face. “Grandma, will you and Grandpa always be with me?”

Upon hearing such a childish question from Elise, Laura instantly replied with a laugh, “Oh, of course we will! However old our Elise is, you’ll always be a kid to us. We’ll always be with you, so don’t worry, okay? Just get a good sleep, and everything will be fine tomorrow.”

Elise let go of Laura and wiped the tears off her face. “Really? Is everything gonna be fine tomorrow?”

Laura reassured her, saying, “Yes, of course. Now, Elise, let’s go to sleep. I’ll have your
