Chapter 313


    Chapter 313


    Valeria red at her unhappily. What was meant to be a tteringment, she took it seriously. No


    wonder Skyler looked down on her – no


    status and not smart.


    Celeste wasn’t really stupid, she just didn’t want to offend Valeria. How Skylerpeted with Valeria


    was her business, as long as it didn’t involve


    her.

    “Since we’re all gathered here, let’s stop the chitchat. Let’s all find a ce to sit.”


    As soon as the olddy spoke, everyone quieted down and found a ce to sit.


    After Liam sat down, the olddy noticed the mark on his forehead and asked with a furrowed brow,


    “What happened to your forehead?”


    Celeste’s heart raced. Liam’s injury was from a stormy night on the cruise ship when she bumped into


    him.


    The bruise was darker when they first returned, but it had faded a lot now.


    But the olddy loved her grandson and noticed this issue right away.


    Liam nced at the culprit and answered lightly, “Bumped into something while sleeping.”


    “You really should be more careful. I have some medicine in my room; I’ll have Celeste help you apply


    itter.”


    Celeste felt helpless. The wound was on his forehead, and he could reach it himself. Did she really


    need to help? Liam wasn’t handless.


    Of course, she only dared toin in her heart. She had hurt the olddy’s feelings with the birth


    control pills incident earlier, and now she wouldn’t dare to defy her. So she obediently agreed.


    Afterward, the olddy began to inquire about the younger generation’s recent situation one by one.


    Despite her age, the olddy’s mind was still clear. She knew Kaylee was about to graduate,


    understood her major, knew Skyler was in business with friends, and even knew about Celeste helping


    her friend shoot a movie.


    The olddy was a very tolerant elder. She provided guidance for the younger generation’s lives and


    work, with very little criticism.


    Wesley was eloquent and well–liked by the olddy among the grandchildren.


    Of course, her love for Wesley wasn’t quite the same as her doting love for Liam.


    Liam lost his father when he was young, and the olddy personally raised him. Besides the


    grandmotherly love, she was also strict with him as an elder.


    Liam’s sess wasrgely due to the olddy’s careful nurturing. If Skyler had been the one to


    educate him, the result might have been another Wesley. Kaylee was the best negative example.


    After the olddy finished asking questions, Valeria spoke, “Time flies, and the kids have grown up so


    fast. Mom, you’re almost 80 years old, do you have any thoughts for your birthday this year?”


    The olddy said softly, “I don’t have any special thoughts, just want to keep it simple.”


    “Mom, we can’t just throw a simple party for your 80th birthday. Otherwise, people might think we don’t


    care. We gotta make it grand!” Valeria continued, “I remember you mentioned during your 70th birthday


    that you’d love to have Mr. Hilliard sing for you on your 80th. I have a friend who’s tight with Hilliard’s


    apprentice, maybe she can help us ask if Mr. Hilliard would be down toe.”


    The olddy seemed quite interested, but still hesitated, “Didn’t Hilliard quit singing already? Can we


    really get him?
