“Maybe he is out of his mind,” Sophia chuckled and said. When it came to the afternoon, Sophiapermitted Robin to leave work earlier, cleaning her shop, whereupon she proceeded to close the door.Then, she went home to take a shower and get changed shortly before the Blackwell Family’s driverarrived. Upon getting into the car, she saw someone sitting inside who turned out to be a young lady.
Sophia paused and nodded. “Hi.”
The lady gazed at Sophia with a smile. “Hi, my grandma sent me to pick you up. Let’s go.” novelbin
Sophia responded with an affirmative hum, feeling a little nervous upon hearing that. After she sat tight,the car began to hit the road. At the same time, the lady appeared to be rather talkative as she wasable to lighten up the atmosphere with different topics, chatting with Sophia about her shop and evenher marriage life.
Grinning, the lady replied, “Actually, we all know that you just had a divorce with John not long ago,except my grandma.”
“I know. That’s why I was a little awkward when she asked me about that,” Sophia answered with achuckle.
Hearing her reply, the lady nodded. “I understand how sensitive and upsetting this topic can be, so wedidn’t bring it up to my grandma.” In fact, the more important matter was that Old Mrs. Blackwell didn’tstate her preference about who should take Sophia in, which was why none of them said a word aboutSophia’s divorce. After all, they were raised in a prestigious family, in which they were taught to bediscreet with their words. While both ladies were happily chatting with each other, they soon arrived atthe Blackwell Residence.
The Blackwell Residence is a huge mansion situated in the middle of the city. They’re rich indeed. Justlook at the space of this compound! Gosh! I wonder how much they spent to buy a place this big. Asthe car stopped in the courtyard, someone was seen waiting there. Sophia then stepped out of thevehicle to be greeted by Old Mrs. Blackwell with someone helping her walk toward their guest. At thesight of that, she quickly approached the old lady, who soon seized her hand. “Finally, you’re here. I’vebeen waiting long enough for you. Come, let’s get inside.”
Sophia smiled awkwardly to everyone aside while following behind Old Mrs. Blackwell. Then, they satin the living room, whereupon the matriarch began introducing Sophia to the family. In fact, everyoneelse had seen Sophia on Old Mrs. Blackwell’s birthday, although none of them had really talked to her.Meanwhile, Sophia forced a smile on her face and greeted every family member even though shedidn’t like to be on occasions like this.
After the introduction, Old Mrs. Blackwell sighed and said, “This poor little kid is all by herself without afamily.” Upon hearing that, Sophia pursed her lips while the old lady seized her hand and placed it onher own palm. “I like this girl a lot. After long deliberation, I’ve decided to make her my granddaughter.”Then, she turned her attention to Sophia, who was in a trance, and asked, “What do you think, mygirl?”
Sophia was taken aback by Old Mrs. Blackwell’s sudden announcement, staring at the old lady with herdilated eyes. “Madam Blackwell, I-I…”
At the same time, every other member of the Blackwell Family appeared to be rather calm andunsurprised, which implied that they had already known about it ahead. Looking at Old Mrs. Blackwell’ssmiling face, Sophia didn’t know what to say in order to turn her down. Well, I’m not sure if I’m going toget roughed up for turning down Madam Blackwell’s ‘kind’ offer.
“Um, maybe…” Sophia hesitantly said, but Madam Blackwell soon interrupted her words with a smileand said, “Since you agree, I guess it’s decided then. Meanwhile, the rest could decide which familyshe belongs to.”
Upon hearing the old lady’s words, the wife of the Main Constance Family said, “We don’t have adaughter, so she could be with us.”
Soon, the wife of the Third Constance Family chimed in, “We don’t have a daughter either, so we couldtake her in.”
What’s the Blackwell Family really up to? I’m broke, and everything I own now is given by John whenwe divorced, which I don’t think they’re interested in, so why does everyone start to cozy up to me all ofa sudden?
