She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 253

Two cars were outside the entrance of the main building. One was Athena's van, and the other was Matthew's Miracle 2.0.

Matthew politely asked Athena. "Dr. Annie. if you don't mind, how about taking my car back?"

Athena nodded. "Okay"

She walked to Matthew's car door and was about to get into the car when she heard an aged and kind voice coming from the side. "Mr. Graham, please hold on."

Athena turned around and saw an old lady with a large food box walking out of a small door at the side of the main building.

When Matthew saw the old lady, his indifferent face instantly softened. He quickly walked over and said respectfully. "Adele, why are you here?"

Adele stopped before Matthew and said kindly, "I knew you would return today, so I made your favorite peach pie. I got up early in the morning and made these pies. Take them with you and enjoy them."

Matthew took the food box from Adele's arms and said with a rare warmth, "Thanks. I'm happy that I can taste the pies you made for me.

"But I want you to have more rest. It breaks my heart to see you tire yourself out."

Adele looked at Matthew as if she was looking at her child. That gentle and loving feeling was genuine. "Oh, I'm not so old that I can't make some pies. Please don't make me give up the joy of making pies for you."

Since Adele had said so, Matthew stopped persuading her. "Alright, I'll finish the pies you made for me."

While they were talking, Athena stood quietly at the side and secretly sized up Adele.

Adele's thick gray hair was meticulously combed back and tied into a bun with a small, black hairpin.

Adele's body had shrunk. She was less than 5.2 feet tall. Her figure was a little bloated. She wore a traditional black dress with exquisite embroidery and a pair of old yet polished black leather shoes. She looked old-fashioned and retro.

She wore no makeup and looked well cared for. Although the wrinkles on her face were obvious, her face was rosy. Her eyes were still clear, her back was straight, and her voice was not weak
