The chattering continued until they reached the living room. Hector was in his wheelchair with a cold
look.
As he saw Alice, his eyes moved and widened.
“Mmm...”
He tried to lift his hand, but he could not. The wheelchair was shaking.
Seeing that, the nurse quickly came over. “Old Mr. Lowen, please calm down. Take a deep breath.”
Alice saw Hector's reaction and smiled.
Look how excited he is. I wonder how he'll react when he sees his great-grandchildren.
Juliette sat beside Old Mr. Lowen and stretched out her small hand. “Old Mr. Handsome, do you want
some candy?”
Hector was about to calm down. However, once he saw Juliette's little hand and heard her sweet voice,
he was stirred up even more.

“Bring Old Mr. Lowen back to his room! Let him stay there for the night.”
The housekeepers and nurse then pushed Hector back to his room. He tried to mutter something as his
head was tilted. Unfortunately, no one understood he did not wish to leave.
He wanted to see and play with the kids. Sadly, no one could understand him.
When his bedroom door was closed, the atmosphere quietened instantly.
Juliette then unwrapped her candy and fed it into her mouth.
“So sweet!”
In the meantime, Justin and Julian sat down with their backs straight. Their cool stance attracted a lot
of the housekeepers' attention.
Gwendolyn passed the fruits and coffee to a housekeeper. “Old Mrs. Lowen, I brought some fruits and
coffee. It's not anything fancy, just a small gift from me.”
Alice held onto Gwendolyn's hands. “I'm extremely happy just to have you visit me. You didn't have to
bring anything. Thank you, Gwen.”
Alice was wearing a dark red dress. She looked charismatic and elegant.
Even with her grey hair, she looked stunning with that kind smile on her face.
Justin and Julian stayed silent. The two of them were observing their surroundings—it had always been
their habit. Every time they went to an unfamiliar place, they would observe carefully.
On the other hand, Juliette acted like a happy duckling. She explored and touched everything with her
lollipop in her mouth.
Alice's gaze was set on the three kids. The questions she had about them were pilling up.
She had to bring Patrick back for some questioning, as she was curious if he actually made a mistake.
Gwendolyn saw Juliette running around as though it was her own house. Hence, she went to her
daughter. “Juliette, don't go and touch everything.”
Juliette raised her brow. “I touch everything that looks pretty. Am I not allowed to touch them?”

Gwendolyn could not help but laughed. However, the housekeepers were staring at her. They must
have thought of her as a bumpkin.
She felt embarrassed.
Meanwhile, seeing that the two boys were not eating sweets, Alice called them, “Justin, Julian, if you
don't want sweets, why not have some fruits?”
Justin answered with merely a word, “Thanks.”
Julian then had a bright smile. “Thank you, Old Mrs. Pretty.”
After that, Alice got up. “Gwen, make yourself at home. I'll go check the kitchen.”
Gwendolyn was following Juliette, afraid that the latter would cause havoc. Upon hearing Alice, she
turned around and replied, “All right, Old Mrs. Lowen.”
Alice then entered the kitchen and gave her eldest grandchild a call.
After a while, he picked up. “Grandma, what's the matter?”
“Can't your grandma call you anytime, Pat?”
Patrick always answered Alice's calls with the same sentence, and she did not like that.
“That's not what I meant. I'm busy right now. Can I call you a little later?”
