Lost and Found: Return of My Mysterious Fiancee by KIKI

Chapter 609: Mother and Daughter Officially Return to the Brookes Family

Natalie chuckled and tightened her grip on Tina's hand as she opened the grand door of the Brookes family home. As the mahogany door swung open, Natalie saw an old man, leaning on a cane and dressed in a suit, standing at the entrance with tears in his eyes.

On seeing the door open, he staggered forward two steps, then stopped, trembling. He couldn't bring himself to move forward, nor could he believe this was all real. After more than thirty years, his precious daughter, who had been just over a meter tall when he lost her, was now a mother herself.

Natalie approached, stopping a meter away from Grandpa Brookes, not daring to step closer. The gap of thirty years was not a barrier but a profound regret. Thankfully, now everything was as it should be. "Dad, it's me, Alina, I'm back," she said.

Unable to hold back any longer, Grandpa Brookes hurried forward, his cane clattering to the side. He bent his stooped back and lifted his daughter up gently. Slowly, he reached out his wrinkled hands and caressed Natalie's face, tracing the lines of her features gently, fearful of hurting his beloved daughter.

"Alina, my Alina, my dear Alina..." he sobbed, holding Natalie tightly, "My precious daughter."

Scarlett was already nestled in Jack's arms, crying breathlessly, while even the usually flippant Brandon was crouched on the ground, wiping away tears. Tina stood at the doorway, reluctant to intrude on the poignant reunion. The father and daughter embraced for a long time, gradually regaining their composure. Natalie soothed Grandpa Brookes, "Dad, let's go inside. Remember, no going out tomorrow."

Realization dawned on Grandpa Brookes; the Warren Pace who had come to save him was Alina! "You girl, why didn't you reveal yourself sooner? Do you know how worried I was when I saw the explosion on the cliff?" The Brookes family had watched everything through "Scarlett's" bionic robot in real-time. When Rachel had thrown a rock at Tina, Grandpa Brookes had almost charged over himself, restrained only by Brandon and Jack. Fortunately, Jared had sent a signal in time to reassure Grandpa Brookes. Tina followed quietly behind, trying to make no sound. But Grandpa Brookes wasn't about to let her escape notice.

"And you, neither your mother nor you are any less worrisome! Always making your grandpa worry!" he chided.

Tina smiled slightly, "Grandpa, blame my mom for faking her death all these years. If it weren't for my trick today, she'd still be hiding!" "Naughty girl, no wonder your master always speaks ill of you!" Natalie said, casting an eye at Tina, though her gaze held no real reproach.

When Master Tam was mentioned, Grandpa Brookes recalled, "Alina, how did you end up with that crazy old man?"
