    Chapter 1991 All in the Family


    Alisha made her way back upstairs, running all the way.


    Upon entering the closet, she opened her wardrobe and retrieved several dresses. Standing in front of the mirror, she gestured


    at each one, muttering to herself, "Which one should | choose?"


    At that moment, Joyce followed in, saying, "They are all very beautiful. We''re not going out today, just having dinner at home. So


    you can consider wearing something morefortable."


    "Alright." Finally, Alisha chose a soft, ck-and-white dress with a doll-like skirt hem.


    After putting it on, she took Joyce''s hand and said, "Mom, let''s go downstairs."


    Joyce gently held her soft hand and said, "Alright."


    This natural and heartwarming scene warmed Joyce''s heart; this was how mother and daughter should be. With Joyce spending


    more time at hometely, she had been apanying Alisha devotedly, and their rtionship had be increasingly


    harmonious.


    Unpleasant things that had happened in the past seemed as though they had never urred, but that didn''t mean they were


    forgotten.


    One day, Alisha suddenly asked her, "Does the wound hurt?"


    She was stunned for a moment, thinking Alisha was asking about the pain after the C-section. Sheughed and told Alisha that


    she had given birth through natural delivery and had no wounds, and therefore, didn''t feel any pain. Little did she know, Alisha


    shook her head, saying she was asking about the wound she had inflicted on her. She also apologized, saying she hadn''t known


    any better at the time.


    At that moment, she was shocked and felt emotionallyplex. Alisha''s ability to ask such a question indicated that she could


    face the past directly, rather than deliberately avoiding it. She hugged Alisha excitedly, shaking her head and telling her that she


    didn''t hurt anymore.


    Alisha, however, said she would practice shooting and protect her mom when she grew up.


    She was even more moved, and they clung together tightly, not separating for a long time.


    In this way, the previous estrangement between mother and daughter waspletely dispelled.


    By now, they had already be ustomed to each other.


    When they went downstairs, they realized that Anderson had also returned to his room and changed into casual clothing. He had


    actually been wearing pajamas before.


    Alisha widened her eyes and pointed at Anderson, saying, "You changed into different clothes, too, so you''re contradicting me for


    wanting to change. Do you think I''m too much?"


    Anderson pouted, saying, "It''s precisely because you''re changing that | feel too casual. | have no choice but to change along with


    you."


    Alisha said,


    Joyce chuckled.


    As they were speaking, the doorbell rang, and the security guard reported remotely.


    Jacqueline and Shelly were already downstairs, ready toe upstairs.


    Upon hearing the news, Cecelia went to open the door herself.


    When the door opened, the first person Cecelia saw was Jacqueline, and she was startled because Jacqueline looked very


    different from what she remembered.


    The Jacqueline from the past was elegant and meticulous, and very concerned about her appearance. Despite being older, she


    had worked hard to maintain her looks. She was a typical wealthy and nobledy. However, she looked very different today. She


    seemed much older, with wrinkles around her eyes, and she was not wearing makeup, dressed in casual clothes. Although her


    appearance had aged, she seemed much kinder and more approachable.


    Jacqueline recognized Cecelia, and her lips trembled at first, followed by an excited opening, "Nian Zhen, it''s really you. You


    haven''t changed at all. | have a bad memory and almost didn''t recognize you. I''m d | did. Nian Zhen, we haven''t seen each


    other in a long time."


    After saying that, Jacqueline reached out and held Cecelia''s hands, her eyes moist, "| thought you wouldn''t see me again. |, |


    really didn''t have the face to see you."


    Cecelia knew about Jacqueline''s Alzheimer''s disease. The condition had progressed rapidly, but she could still recognize the


    majority of people. Seeing Jacqueline recognize her, sheforted her, saying, "What are you talking about? We''re family. Let''s


    not bring up the past."


    Although there had been unpleasant incidents in the past due to the disagreement over the marriage arrangements, at the time,


    they had both used the wrong person. She had mistakenly thought Charlotte was her daughter, and it wasn''t entirely


    Jacqueline''s fault.


    Jacqueline nodded.


    Shelly, who was behind her, added, "Aunt, this is my husband."


    Huffman greeted warmly, "Hello, my name is Huffman."


    It was the first time Cecelia had seen Shelly''s husband, a foreigner. She quickly assessed him and offered her blessings, "You


    two are a perfect match. | wish you both well."RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    "Thank you!" Huffman embraced Shelly, and they seemed very much in love.


    They walked through the long hallway and entered the living room, where Joyce and Luther were already waiting. Anderson and


    Alisha stood by their sides.


    After exchanging greetings with each other, Jacqueline approached Alisha first, saying, "So, you must be Alisha; Shelly


    mentioned you. This is the first time we''ve met, and you''re so beautiful. You look just like Luther when he was young. Come, let


    grandmother have a good look at you."


    Alisha obediently stood in front of Jacqueline and sweetly greeted, "Hello, grandmother."


    Then, she looked at Shelly and greeted her, "Hello, aunt."


    "Ah, Alisha is so well-behaved." Shelly


    smiled and took out a red en alSpe\

    Jacqueline patted her own forehead, "Look at my memory. | had prepared a red envelope, too. Where is mine? Quickly bring it to


    me. | prepared a red envelope for each child."


    At that moment, Huffman handed Jacqueline''s envelope to her, saying, "Mom, your envelope is here with me."


    Jacqueline quickly took the envelope from Huffman and took out four big red envelopes from it.


    She handed one to Alisha, saying, "Good Alisha, this is from your grandmother."


    Alisha sweetly said, "Thank you, grandmother."


    Then, Jacqueline and Shelly each handed an envelope to Anderson.


    Anderson politely said, "Thank you."


    Compared to Alisha, Anderson seemed more reserved, as he knew a lot about his mother''s past, while Alisha knew nothing.


    Jacqueline cautiously asked, "Andres, can grandma hug you?"


    Anderson hesitated at first, then looked at his mother, who remainedposed, before agreeing.

    Although it was only a brief hug, she was already satisfied.
