Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 101

In the private dining room of the hotel, the atmosphere was warm and inviting.

As soon as Adrian entered, his curiosity was piqued by the spirited and kind-faced elderly woman seated at the table.

This must be the great-aunt Mom told me about, he thought.

Adrian was not shy by nature. Despite having never met Jade before, he sweetly greeted her, "Hello, Great-Aunt."

"Oh, hello, hello," Jade responded, her eyes crinkling with delight.

She rose from her seat, intending to embrace Adrian. However, age had taken its toll, and at seven years old, the boy was too heavy for her to lift.

Adrian, ever the quick thinker, playfully threw himself into Jade's arms, showering her with affectionate sweetness.

Jade looked down at the little one cuddled against her, studying him with growing fondness. Despite his eyes resembling his father's fox-like gaze, his features were delicately handsome, echoing his mother's.

Her heart swelled with joy, and she produced a gift she had prepared in advance —a meticulously crafted locket of white jade, adorned with a translucent emerald bead.
