Chapter 853
Munchkin raised his head to nce at me, then at Grayson. He asked, "Grandpa, what day is it
today?"
Grayson looked at him with a tender gaze. "It''s New Year’s today. The first day of the new year."
Munchkin nodded. "Does that mean that we must spend the day together as a family?"
Grayson was stunned, then he looked at me with a slightlyplicated gaze. "Yeah, we should
spend this day together as a family."
Munchkin raised his head to look at me, asking curiously, "Mommy, when are Grandma, Grandpa,
and Uncle Tylering over?"
I stroked his head. "Your grandparents have been very busytely, and your aunt just had a baby,
so they can’te over."
"When can we visit the baby, then?” Munchkin was young and had many questions. It would be
hard to stop him whenever he started asking.
I would get impatient whenever he asked too many questions, but Grayson was very patient and
kept answering his various strange questions.
I got up and walked to the kitchen to see if they needed my help.
However, when I walked into the kitchen and saw the three of them organized with their own tasks, I
felt as though my help was not needed.
Seeing meing in, Theo asked with a smile, "Do you know how to wrap the fillings?”
I did.
I nodded and walked over to wash my hands. Then, I started making wraps with him. "My mother
taught m e how when I was young, but I only learned how to wrap the fillings, not how to make and
roll the dough."
Quinn turned around and asked curiously, "Didn’t you grow up in the south? A lot of girls in the
south don''t know how to make wraps. The same goes for the older generations. Not many of them
know how. I remember when I was a kid, my mom didn''t know how either."
I smiled. "My mother isn’t a native southerner. She would make her own wraps and make vegetable
stew every New Year’s Eve."
Quinn chuckled. "She’s probably a northerner, then."
I smiled and lowered my gaze to wrap the fillings. " She never told me her stories when she was
young. M y memories of her are only of those when we lived together."
Petra walked over and looked at me, saying, "Wanda, has it never crossed your mind that it was
strange she neither had rtives nor friends in the countryside yet she knew Grant Corporation''s
mistress and even felt at ease handing you over to her? Have you never asked them how they
knew each other?"
I hesitated a little and shook my head slightly. "No."
I never thought about these things seriously.
Mother had no friends or families in the countryside a t the time. She was aplete outsider.
Later, Cecilia learned from others that Mother hade here in her 30s and started living here after
buying a house. No one knew where she came from or why she chose to settle in the countryside
alone.
"What’s her name?" Quinn asked curiously.
I pursed my lips. "Sandra Tyler."

At the thought of this, I could not help but think of Tyler. Why did Tyler''s father entrust him to
Mother?
Although it was a small and remote town, there were many well-to-do families too. Why must they
choose Mother?
Petra sighed. "She left you a piece of superior quality nephrite white jade in that sandalwood box.
Have you seen it yet?"
I shook my head and looked subconsciously at Theo." I can''t open the box."
Theo was slightly stunned, then he said, "Open it at night."
I nodded, feeling even more curious now.
After lunch, Petra and Quinn had agreed to barbecue i n the courtyard in the afternoon.
Although it was a bright sunny day, it was still winter. It would still be cold even if they were having a
barbecue outdoors.
Since no one objected to it, I did not have the heart to spoil the fun either.
Theo and I went to the supermarket to buy a lot of thingsst night. We had adequate ingredients
and sauces, so there was no need to send anyone to get anything else.
