If the soil found in Granny’s wardrobe is from the flowerpot that almost hit Xavier… Winnie dared not let her thoughts run wild.

After sending Josiah away, she sat on the couch and ruminated over the matter.

However, when she raised her head, she realized that Jacinta was still in the kitchen doing the dishes.

It’s just a pot and some utensils, but she has been washing it for more than fifteen minutes.

As Winnie fixed her gaze on her grandmother, she felt as though everything was a jumbled-up mess. Nothing made sense to her, for everything was too complicated for her to comprehend.

Jacinta was her beloved grandmother who singlehandedly went through a lot of trouble to raise her and her mother.

Winnie continued staring into space, struggling to figure everything out until Jacinta wiped her hands dry and walked out of the kitchen.

“Who came by earlier?” Jacinta asked.

Winnie glanced at her. “It’s Josiah. He came to get something.”

“Oh. Why didn’t you invite him in for a cup of coffee?”

“He just dropped by to get something and left quickly.”

“I see. It’s late. Aren’t you tired after working the whole day? Go on and wash up before you go to bed. I have already washed up.”

“Granny.”

“Yes?”

Winnie stood up. “Is there anything you’d like to tell me after hearing the story that I told you earlier?”

Jacinta froze before chuckling out of the blue. “It’s a story that you’ve heard. I’ve never heard of it before and have nothing to say about it. Go on to bed.”
