Chapter 1121: I hope they're enjoying their trip

Meanwhile, at the Old Pierson Residence...

Old Mrs. Pierson clasped her hands excitedly as she gazed at the class picture hanging on the wall. Her eyes twinkled as Butler Hubert instructed the helpers to position it at the right angle.

"Perfect!" Butler Hubert gave a thumbs-up, nodding at the helpers. "Great work."

The helpers smiled back at him and glanced toward the Old Madam. A look of satisfaction beamed on their faces before they quietly walked away.

"Madam," Butler Hubert called, shifting his attention to the Old Madam. "Is this okay now?"

Old Mrs. Pierson nodded, her eyes still on the photo. The gleam in her eyes slowly turned moist until she was teary. Before she knew it, tears were already falling down her wrinkled cheeks.

As if Butler Hubert anticipated this, he quickly pulled out a white handkerchief. She took it while he watched her wipe the corner of her eyes. While all of this was happening, Butler Hubert turned his head toward the entrance upon hearing Allison's voice.

Butler Hubert offered Allison a subtle smile and took a step back to give them space. Still, he stayed nearby, just in case the Old Madam started bawling.

"Grandma," Allison sweetly draped her arm around Old Mrs. Pierson, leaning her head on her shoulder. Snapping her eyes to the chaotic class picture on the wall, her eyes softened as her lips curled up. "Aren't they lovely, Grandma?"

Old Mrs. Pierson nodded, trying her best to hold back the tears that threatened to escape her eyes. "It is... lovely. My Renren didn't have a normal school life because of his health conditions, but... I'm glad to see him wear a school uniform at least once."

"He looked so happy," she added softly, unable to look away from the photo. "They all look so happy."

Allison nodded, her eyes also on the photo. "They do, Grandma."

"Thank you, my dear." Old Mrs. Pierson tilted her head toward Allison while the latter flashed her a smile. "For bringing this to me."

"Slater mentioned that Zoren didn't have any class pictures, so I thought this would do," said Allison. "I'm glad you liked it, Grandma."
