"Yes, okay, we’ll all eat," Sylvia said with a smile.
Everyone chatted and ate happily during the meal. fгeewebnovёl.com
It was just that it had been a long time since they had talked, especially about Owen and Jacob. As soon as they talked about the company, the conversation went on and on.
After the dining table was cleared, Jacob wanted to pull Owen up to the study to continue the conversation.
Seeing the situation, Sylvia pulled Anita and said, "Don’t leave with Owen tonight. Stay here. The servants have always cleaned the room well."
Anita was a little panicked by Sylvia’s sudden suggestion. She didn’t know whether to agree or refuse. Although she and Owen were married and she felt that the two of them had gotten along quite well recently, the two of them really hadn’t lived in the same room.
Actually, Sylvia knew what it meant when she saw Anita blush a little, so she hurriedly called out to Owen, "Owen, don’t leave with Anita tonight. I just told Anita that you guys will sleep here today."
Owen glanced at Anita. Perhaps he hadn’t seen Anita’s flushed face too clearly upstairs, but he realized that she had no intention of refusing, so he nodded in agreement.
Sylvia saw that both of them nodded and was extremely happy. She quickly called the butler and went to tidy up the room.
Then she said, "Anita, do you want to see how Owen was as a child? I’ll take you to see his photos."
Anita’s eyes lit up when she heard that. She quickly agreed. "Thank you, Mom."
Seeing that Anita had agreed, Sylvia pulled her to her room. When they reached her room, she took out a book from the thick photo album in the cabinet by the bed.
"Look, this is how Owen looked when he was young. Isn’t he cute?" Sylvia pointed at one of the pictures and said to Anita like she was presenting a treasure.
Anita quickly looked down. "Is this what Owen was like when he was young? He was so cute."
"Yes, but he didn’t talk much when he was young. At that time, his father and I were worried that he would become autistic. But we found out later that we were thinking too much," Sylvia said as she thought about the past.
"Is that so? But I think his personality is quite good," Anita said.
"What’s so good about his cold personality? He’s lucky to have met you. Otherwise, I think he wouldn’t have a wife," Sylvia said with a smile.
Anita didn’t expect Sylvia to suddenly say this, and her face flushed again.
Sylvia didn’t notice Anita’s blush, and she continued, "Oh, look at this. This is the photo of Owen in his hometown. Owen and his grandmother had the best relationship when they were young." freeweɓnovel.cøm
She paused, as if trying to recall the past. Then, she continued, "At that time, his father and I were busy with work and couldn’t take care of him. He had grown up with his grandmother."
Anita glanced at Sylvia. She had wanted to ask where Owen’s grandmother was and why she had never seen her before, but seeing how Sylvia looked like she was recalling the past, she didn’t interrupt.
Sylvia sighed and continued, "It’s just a pity that Owen’s grandmother has passed away many years ago. And over the years, because we moved, a lot of our old family’s things have been lost, especially the photo album. So far, we don’t even have a photo of Owen’s grandmother left. This is our biggest regret."
Sylvia said in a choked voice.
"Mom, don’t be sad. I believe Grandma will know that you all miss her," Anita comforted Sylvia softly.
Sylvia paused and then continued, "We picked Owen up when he was about ten years old, but his grandmother never lived with us. Later, she got Alzheimer’s and forgot about everyone around her. At that time, Owen insisted on transferring to school to accompany his grandmother, and I stopped him." Sylvia said slowly.
"What happened then, Mom?" Anita asked softly.
"After that, his father and I disagreed, so he didn’t transfer successfully. Then, his grandmother passed away in less than two years, and this became an eternal source of pain in Owen’s heart." Sylvia’s voice was low and slow.
Then, she wiped her eyes and said, "From then on, we tried our best not to mention Grandma."
Anita didn’t know what to say to comfort Owen’s mother, so she had to reach out and hug her gently.
"Anita, you’re a good child. Mom can tell. I hope you can get along with Owen in the future," Sylvia said to Anita with her eyes red.
