The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven)

Chapter 249

As Willow spoke, she put down the walkie-talkie, held the big dolls in her hands, and huffed and puffed her way to the staircase.

When Dorothy and Milton saw this, they hurried to her and helped take the dolls from her as they were worried she might fall.

Standing by the couch, Willow placed the doll that resembled Milton next to him. Then, she placed the doll resembling Dorothy beside her. She sat beside her grandparents, pretending that the ones accompanying her were not her grandparents but the two dolls.

Milton hadn't expected that he'd live to see the day Willow called him "Grandpa" in front of him. His feelings were incredibly mixed.

Willow blinked a couple of times, abruptly finding this incredible. Talking to others wasn't as hard as she had imagined!

She then said, "Grandma?"

"I'm here, sweetie," Dorothy said almost immediately, afraid that any delay might make Willow misunderstand and think she didn't love the latter.
