Chapter 797


    Ivy looked at Wayne inplete shock.


    Her eyes were so big and sparkly, making her look super adorable when she stared at Wayne like that.


    The fondness and love in Wayne’s eyes were too thick to dissolve.


    Then, his daughter said sympathetically, “Man, I feel bad for you.”


    He’s already such a grown-up, became a father, and yet he’s never had ice cream.


    In a sh, Ivy and Wayne bought a box of ice cream and sat on the chairs outside the convenience


    store, slowly enjoying it.


    “Do you get along well with your grandma?” Ivy asked Wayne while eating.


    Wayne stared ahead and was silent for a moment: “She was very strict with me.”


    Ivy nodded.


    So that’s why he’s never had ice cream even at this age?


    “But she gave me everything she could,” Wayne looked back at his daughter, “So, she’s a good


    person.”


    “I have a great rtionship with Granny Hria too,” Ivy said, and for some reason, she suddenly


    stopped digging into her ice cream, “I hope Granny Hria never dies, or else I’ll never see her again,


    and I’ll be really scared.”


    Actually, her mood today wasn’t so great.


    She saw that ck box for the first time, and her godmother said that her dad’s grandma was inside.


    But she had seen her great-grandmother before, and although thin, she was a big grown-up. How


    could such a small box fit such a big person?


    Her godmother told her, after people die, they need to be cremated, and after that, there’s not much


    left. The small box is the deceased’s home.


    “Ivy, do you miss Granny Hria?” Wayne asked gently.


    Ivy looked at him and nodded, “Granny Hria’s son is dying. I can’t bother her.”


    No one told Ivy about this.


    She found out when she overheard her mommy and godmother talking.


    Wayne felt extremely heartbroken.


    Actually, during the days he spent with Cory and Ivy, he sometimes wished they wouldn’t be too


    sensible.


    Being too sensible meant they would suffer more grievances.


    “Ivy, it’s not like that.” Wayne looked at her seriously, more serious than his usual gentle demeanor,


    “Granny Hria loves you very much, right?”


    Ivy nodded.


    “If she’s really sad now, seeing you won’t make her feel bothered, but rather, it will make her happier to


    see someone she loves.”


    “Really?”


    “Of course!” Wayne said confidently.


    Then he took out his phone,


    And texted Hria, “Mrs. Jared, Ivy misses you. Can she video call you now?”


    A few seconds after the message was sent,


    Hria initiated a video call.


    “See?” Wayne said proudly to Ivy, lifting his chin, and then answered the call.


    “Ivy!” Before Ivy could react, Hria’s voice came through.


    Her nose tingled, and her eyes immediately turned red.


    “Granny Hria…” she called out.


    Seeing Ivy’s pitiful look on the video, Hria felt heartbroken, “Oh dear, what happened to my baby?


    Did your dad bully you?”


    Wayne was at a loss for words.


    Ivy shook her head and then smiled with teary eyes, raising her ice cream, “We’re eating ice cream at


    the convenience store.”


    Hria sharply looked at Wayne, “You sneaked her out for ice cream, does her mom know?”


    “It’s her mom who asked him to take me,” Ivy quickly said, “Granny Hria, I got caught in the rain


    today, got a fever, so mom let me have ice

    cream.”


    “You have a lever?” Hria was worried, “How are you now? Did you take any medicine?”


    “I’ve taken medicine, there’s still a little bit of fever left, but it’ll be gone after I finish the ice cream!” Ivy


    said confidently.
