Christopher was impressed by Maxwell’s decisiveness.
Once Maxwell had made up his mind, no one could stop him, even if Lilian quarreled
with him.
When Lilian used the same trick to earn his sympathy, he remained unfazed despite knowing that Lilian
was worried about him for doing so.
However, he stillbeled Lilian as a benevolent woman.
Frankly speaking, his non-hesitancy to act was solely due to his trust in Kimberly, in addition to missing
his three great-grandchildren greatly.
After two years of getting along, he treated Kimberly as his granddaughter and vice versa, with their
bond still going strong after four years.
Kimberly also felt the same way. During the two years of marrying into the Levine family, she had
endured many lonely days.
The people who warmed her heart in the Levine family were Maxwell, Lilian, and Heather.
Many say that it was difficult for mother-inws and daughter-inws to get along, but Kimberly and
Heather were like sisters without any estrangement, or, to be precise, like old friends.
Simr fates and experiences made the two women sympathetic to each other even
more.
After Christopher got married, Heather slowly quit her job at Levine Group to gain. more bonding time
with Kimberly.
Heather was a traditional woman who prioritized her family, and she initially joined Levine Group
because she was worried about Maxwell facing too much pressure on work.
Yet, seeing that her good-for-nothing husband ran away from home again, Heather had to stand up and

help the family, setting a great example for Kimberly. From her wise mother-inw, Kimberly learned a
lot of principles of conduct, benefiting a lot from
them.
During that time, Maxwell couldn’t stand seeing Christopher’s flirtatious behavior, feeling sad and
resentful as hemented, “It’s a shame that he inherited the gene of his jerk father instead of all the
good traits from the mother.”

At such times, Kimberly and Heather could onlyugh it off.
Christopher looked irritated when the phone rang again.
With his fuming temper showing, heined inwardly, ‘Why can’t I have a peaceful night?
He was reluctant to answer it, but when he saw the call was from Lilian, his body stiffened involuntarily.
Once he answered the call, Lilian immediately shouted, “Christopher, don’t you care about Maxwell
anymore?”
Feeling his eardrums sense a huge vibration, Christopher reflexively lifted the phone.
away.
Thinking Lilian had finished roaring. I
pulled the phone back to his ears, but the elder hadn’t stopped herining as she said, “You brat,
did you collude with Maxwell to annoy me on purpose? Or are you using him to win Kimberly back? Let
me give you a warning beforehand. Maxwell is in poor health and has no one to take care of him out
there. Who will bear the responsibility if anything happens? Use your own way to win Kimberly back.
She continued, “Hurry up and persuade Maxwell. Esther is not at home, so only you can do that. He
has packed his belongings into a light handbag, iming he wants to experience the feeling of budget
travel. I’m really worried that he will end up bing a beggar. Yandel is hard-hearted, and you can’t
convince him that easily.”
Christopher could only hear Lilian bbering non-stop on the phone, thinking it was no wonder that she
was often retorted by Maxwell for her annoying talkativeness.
He suddenly understood Maxwell’s reaction to such circumstances, and a question shed through his
mind, asking himself if women would be verbose when they turned old.
He wondered if Kimberly would also be a chatterbox as she aged.
Christopher even imagined a few scenes in his mind of him and Kimberly turning old after a few
decades, with both having white hair and reading sses. However, they were bickering with each
other.
Suddenly, he saw himself and Kimberly walking through the maple forest in autumn, watching the
sunset and sunrise together.
While imagining the scenes, he was suddenly pulled back to reality by Lilian as the

with Maxwell all the time. I’m really worried about him,” Lilian said, softening her previous sharp tone.
Christopher understood his grandparents’ rtionship and also didn’t want Lilian to get sick from
getting anxious about such a thing.
Therefore, Christopher began to be the peacemaker and replied, “Grandma, don’t worry. Kimberly is in
Dellmoor. She’ll take care of Grandpa. If you want your great- grandchildren to live with you sooner,
please fully support Grandpa’s decision. I’m sure you know Grandpa is smart. Who can take advantage
of him?”
He added, “Besides, you know he’s stubborn like an ox and won’t pull back on what he believes in, so
it’s better to let the matter go with the flow. If you support Grandpa more, maybe he’lle back in a
few days after dealing with the matter more efficiently and in a good mood.”
Lilian carefully analyzed Christopher’s exnation of Maxwell and realized that her grandson had his
point. Unless Maxwell changed his mind, the situation would be tough even if Christopher interfered.
In many cases, people would get too tired from overthinking, so after hearing Christopher’s
exnation, Lilian felt much better, even feeling her face rxed as she ran to Maxwell’s study with a
smile.
She asked with concern, “Maxwell, have you packed everything? Would you like me to check them for
you?”
Watching Lilian’s behavior, Maxwell pondered, ‘She’s acting abnormal… Something’s fishy.
Maxwell adjusted his reading sses and sized Lilian up carefully, replying, “I’m almost done. If you’re
willing to, help yourself!”
Maxwell chose to behave politely upon seeing Lilian’s kind offer.
Sure enough, Lilian checked the belongings thoroughly, but in the end, she realized she was indeed
over-worried as Maxwell had packed all the necessary stuff, especially themonly used medicine..
He didn’t pack many clothes since he could buy some when he arrived at hist destination.
Lilian gave Maxwell a thumbs up and said, “Well done on your packing.”
In the past, it was always Lilian who packed up their luggage, but since both were having a dispute this
time, Maxwell had to do it himself, and Lilian realized he did not-

do a bad job.
Lilian felt relieved, feeling that she was indeed too overzealous. For a long time, she had treated
Maxwell like a big baby, thinking he could not survive without her by his side, but it seemed that she
had overestimated her own importance to Maxwell.
Lillian suddenly had an insight, realizing that in interpersonal rtionships, one should. walk hand in

It was not that Maxwell couldn’t leave her side but the way around. Lilian too much of her enthusiasm
and energy to him and ignored herself.
After thinking it through, Lilian found that theirmunication became smoother.
She mused, This is the way of getting along in marriage. One will never be too old to learn.’
