The CEO's Wife Is Super Charming

Chapter 88: Chapter 87: Grandmother

Just as she walked down the stairs, she saw a dignified old lady sitting on the sofa. She wore a simple gray-beige mid-length wool coat, and under her cream hat were strands of visible white hair. The lady was looking at her, her eyes full of kindness and the excitement of a long-awaited reunion.

She seemed about to stand up but still maintained her usual grace, waiting for Elliana Lyle to come over.

Elliana Lyle walked step by step toward this grandmother she hadn’t seen in many years. Her grandmother was just as she remembered: graceful and dignified, with an aura akin to a fairy. Her slightly fluffy short white curls tucked behind her ears, along with a well-applied makeup and a warm smile, gave a welcoming feel.

"Ellie dear, it’s been over ten years, and you’ve changed, grown into a big girl."

"Grandma." Elliana politely returned the smile, though in her heart she still felt her grandmother was rather indifferent, as she didn’t even come to see her own daughter after passing away.

Granny Hue nodded in relief, pulling Elliana to sit, patting the back of her hand with lowered eyes, seemingly glistening with tears.

She didn’t know the purpose of her grandmother’s visit, but seeing her tears made Elliana’s heart wrench.

Actually, she used to like this grandmother a lot. Although they only spent a short time together, the Hue family’s disregard for her mother now left her a bit resentful.

Taking out a handkerchief and wiping her eyes twice, Granny Hue looked at her granddaughter with affection, reaching out to touch Elliana’s thin, almost sharp-edged face, murmuring softly, "Child, you’ve suffered."

The words left Elliana unsure how to respond. Her grandmother was also her mother’s mother, someone she should respect. She knew her mother often looked at the Hue family’s family photo.

"Today, I went to the hospital for a check-up and saw your uncle all bruised. At first, they hid it from me. Later, when I pressed for answers, your aunt told me your uncle fought with your father, and that’s when I found out my daughter had passed away. The Lyle family, those idiots! They didn’t even notify us of my daughter’s death!"

Granny Hue’s face was heavy, yet emotional, grip tightening around her hand. She then realized her words might have been inappropriate since this little granddaughter also carried the Lyle surname.

"Child, come home with Grandma, no need to stay at someone else’s house."

Although Granny Hue knew this was Norman Bennett’s residence, Elliana’s fiancé, in her eyes, an unmarried woman living at the man’s place was indeed improper.
