S31 54. The Old House
Frank frowned. His eyes flickered to his wife, looking for inspiration.” Can we move her mother to Jeremy''s house?”
“I think it''s a good idea. If Jeremy is willing, | can contact W directly.” Kara turned to her brother-inw. 1
Jeremy raised his eyebrows along with his shoulders. “Even if you want to change the house into a hospital, that’s fine. Grandpa
Rowan will definitely be happy if his old residence bes more useful.”
Hearing Jeremy''s chatter, the curve of Diana''s lips faded. It had been a long time since she remembered that house. She
thought she had totally forgotten, but now, every corner was clearly depicted in her
memory.
“If Ava’s mother is moved to Uncle''s house, why don’t we just have a New Year''s party there?” Emily suggested, increasing the
vibrations in
Diana''s heart.
“That''s a great idea. Ava will be happy if she knows she can join t party with her mother. Mommy, can you call W now,
please?”
Kara held out her hand. The servant who was on standby quickly brought her phone. Diana remained silent waiting for the
results.
“W said yes.”
Diana''s heartbeat became increasingly erratic. “W-why didn''t the nurse just move here? Is it because there is no more room
avable?”
Frank shook his head. “My mother is at Jeremy''s house, Grandma. If Mrs. Connor is here, Ava will still have to go back and
forth.”
“Then just move Mnie here.” Diana raised an eyebrow, trying to cover her tension with a smile.

Unfortunately, Frank shook his head, Barbara was even more
disapproving.
“Even though Mommy ims to be sane and her condition is starting to stabilize, | think it would be wiser if we kept her at
Jeremy''s house longer, at least until her mental health ispletely recovered. | don’t want her to attack anyone again.”
Frank nodded. “That''s right. We have to minimize the risk. Besides, she has a lot of bad memories in this house. I''m afraid it will
affect her recovery.”
Diana swallowed hard. Her hands turned cold, while her back tensed.
“What''s wrong, Grandma?” Frank noticed the change in Diana''s expression. “Why do you look unhappy if they are looked after at
Jeremy''s house?”
Diana started rubbing her neck. Her breathing seemed heavy.
“Nothing,” she said a little hoarsely. “I have nothing to worry about. Now let''s continue eating. Kids, finish your pudding.”
“My pudding is finished, Grandma.” Louis tilted his empty te. want more!”
“I''m only half finished with my pudding, but I also want more. It tast delicious,” Emily smiled sweetly, clenching her hands next to
her
cheeks.
“Good. Then, add more. Jeremy,” Diana shifted her gaze, “do you want pudding?”
Before Jeremy had time to refuse, Diana had ordered the servant to bring him a te of pudding.
Frank and Kara nced at each other. They knew that Diana was hiding something. Therefore, as soon as they finished

resolved the issue of Mrs. Connor''s transfer, Frank looked for Diana.
“Grandma, what are you doing here?
Diana gasped and turned her head. Seeing Frank standing at the side. of her chair, she blinked, gathering her senses.
“Nothing. I''m just rxing. It''s my day off, you know?” Diana took the cup on the table then sipped the slightly cold tea.
Seeing the clumsy y, Frank smiled wryly. “May | apany you?”
Diana''s eyebrows pressed against her forehead again. “Of course. | actually enjoy rxing with my grandson.”
Nodding, Frank took a seat to the side. “As | notice, you like drinking tea, don’t you?”
Diana suddenly froze. After a blink, the cup moved away from her lips. “Yes, this is my way to rx my body and mind. I like the
smell thates from tea, and also the warmth that spreads when I drink it. Don''t you like tea?”
Frank shook his head. “I prefer coffee. Grandpa Rowan likes tea.”
Hearing that name, Diana''s expression tensed. Her neck twitched holding back the tightness gripping her chest.
“Aren''t you mistaken?” Diana replied, half whispering. “As far as | remember, your grandfather never drank tea. He always asked
for coffee.”
Frank let the silence hang for a moment. While Diana caught her breath, he looked at the twins who looked cheerful in the
greenhouse.
“I''m not sure either. | actually don’t know him that well. All | know are his habits and his outward appearance. His tough temper.”
Frank took a deep breath then let out a quick sigh. He felt a strange feeling of longing weighing down his lungs.

“But after thinking about it, it seems like | don’t really know his habits. either.” Frank looked at Diana with gentle eyes. “It turns
out, what I''ve been watching is he trying to fill his days with your habits. | only realized that when | observed your daily life on the
farm.”
Diana''s eyes trembled even more violently. Her chin twitched by the turmoil that was stirring in her heart.
“You''ve only stayed at my ce for a few days. There''s no way you already understand my habits.”
“Then, Grandma, try to correct my observations. You like peace. Because of that, you built a home and a farm far from the city.”
Diana fell silent. Frank smiled at that.
“Grandpa once mentioned that he liked peace. He said that was the reason he isted his residence. But in my opinion, that
didn’t suit his
temperament.” Please read the

“That''s nonsense,” she muttered softly.
“I do think so.” Frank nodded slightly. “Then in his free time, he lik to sit on the wooden chair he put on the porch. Sometimes he
daydreamed. Sometimes he just sat with his eyes closed. What a coincidence, | saw you doing that several times on the farm.”
Diana shook her head faintly. However, not a word left her mouth, giving Frank the opportunity to continue. “Do you know what
inheritance he gave me?”
Diana widened her slightly swollen eyes. “What?”
Frank looked back and nodded. A servant rushed to deliver two photo

albums.

“He didn’t give me much wealth. He only left me a photo album and a letter.”
Frank handed her one of the tomes. She epted it with shaking hands. “Only this?"
Frank nodded. “Open it.” He helped Diana turn the front cover.
Seeing the photos stuck there, Diana''s eyes filled with tears. Her chest became tighter and her voice became choked.
“This... your grandfather really made this?"
“Just like the photo albums disyed on the farm, right? | didn’t expect Grandpa to have a habit of collecting moments like this. It
doesn’t seem like his style.”
Diana could no longer deny it. Rowan was indeed imitating her. The way he rxed, the way he maintained hisposure, and
the way he collected photos... it all started with her.
“This is too hard to believe, Frank. Your grandfather wasn''t like this.”
Frank smiled wryly. “Look at our pictures. You can judge how he
Was he still the same as when you were together? Or had he char since you separated?”
