Chapter 236

Leanna felt that there must be something wrong with this person's head.

It's not like this is my first time here. What is there to be shy about?

From the way the b*stard spoke, it sounded like it was my first time visiting my mother-in-law with him…

At that thought, Leanna suddenly felt uneasy all over.

She faked a cough and stopped engaging in idle chatter with him. She turned around and walked up the steps, then knocked on the door.

A few seconds later, the door was opened from within and Naomi's figure appeared before her.

A smile bloomed on Leanna's face. "Ms. Fletcher."

"Oh, you're here, Leanna. Come on in," welcomed Naomi.

Leanna passed Naomi the things she had been carrying all this while. "Ms. Fletcher, here are some nourishing supplements and food I bought in Highside. Do have a try—"

"These things can be bought anywhere, but you still brought them all the way here."

At that moment, Wendy's voice sounded from within. "Naomi, your daughter-in-law treats you so well. Your son visited so many times, yet he never brought anything with him."

Leanna was speechless.

The thought that flashed across her mind at the entrance was now coming out of Wendy's mouth.

It would be fine if she came alone, but now that she came back with Aidan, it just seemed too strange to justify.

Naomi smiled and took the things from Leanna. "Come on in."

Leanna trailed after Naomi into the house. When they passed by the yard, she was about to greet Wendy, who was seated at the stone table, when she unexpectedly saw a baby cradle beside Wendy.

Stunned, Leanna could not help but pause in her tracks.

Noticing that, Naomi placed the items on the table and explained calmly, "Come take a look, Leanna. This is Ms. Shaffer's grandchild."
