Chapter 1219


    Ste took a deep breath and walked inside slowly.


    Her back was kept straight. Not only was she nervous, but she was also trying to look more presentable in front of


    her elders, fearing that she might not meet their expectations.


    The private room was huge, and four people were sitting at a round table in the middle.


    An amiable-looking elderly couple sat next to each other, whom Ste had seen on a video call before. They were


    her grandparents, Wilfred Hall and Edith Wade.


    Wenham was sitting beside Edith. Although he gained a little weight, he still exuded a graceful presence. The look in


    his eyes showed a hint of excitement when he saw Steing in.


    Seated beside Wilfred was a middle-aged man with sharp and distinct features. He looked somewhat familiar to


    Ste and was strikingly good-looking. He seemed to be in histe forties, but his well-maintained physique would


    make him look only a few years older than Keegan if he changed his hairstyle.


    Ste took off her mask, and Wilfred could not contain himself and said, "My dear granddaughter."


    Edith''s eyes turned red. She tugged Wilfred''s sleeve and said softly, "Don''t scare the child."


    Wenham immediately stood up and pulled out the chair next to him. "Ste, sit over here," he said.


    Trevor held her hand and introduced everyone to her," You''ve seen our grandparents in the video call before, and


    obviously, you''ve met Dad too. This is our uncle, Daryl. He came along with our grandparents to see youOwned by N?velDrama.Org.


    specifically. His wife has a talk to attend at Frecford today, so she can''t be here. We''ll arrange another time for you


    to meet her."


    Ste clenched her fists nervously. She was always chatty but suddenly did not know what to say when faced with


    this family''s anticipating gaze.


    Trevor paused and put the gift box he was holding on the table. "Grandpa, Grandma, Ste brought this gift for you."


    The couple was delighted. "How thoughtful of you," Edith praised Ste.


    "Thoughtful children always have a difficult childhood. Just look at how skinny she is." Wilfred added.


    Edith felt distressed upon hearing that. "I''m sure that she suffered malnutrition when she was younger. Trevor


    showed me a photo of her in fifth grade, and she looked like a little dwarf."


    Ste was speechless. It was undeniable that she was not tall, but calling her a little dwarf was a bit of an


    exaggeration. She started growing taller and taller after her second year in high school.


    After listening to his grandparents'' outrageous remarks about Ste, Trevor coughed and said, "Ste wasn''t that


    short. Look, she''s all grown up and is a pretty woman now."


    "Of course, she is. Nobody in our family is too short anyway," Wenham said.


    Then, Wilfred added, "That''s because of the good genes in the Hall family. I''m d that she looks like Freesia and


    not you."


    Wenham was taken aback. Then, he whispered, "Her nose looks like mine. We both have a tall nose bridge."


    "No, she looks like me. Trevor looks like me; Ste looks like Trevor, so Ste looks like me." Daryl chimed in.


    Wenham''s expression grew dark. "How can my children look like you? Stop ttering yourself. I can''t tell which part


    of you is attractive at all."


    "Could you ever have such two good-looking children if it weren''t for Freesia''s genes?" Wilfred expressed his dissatisfaction.


    Wenham was left speechless once again.


    Ste was shocked that the family was actually arguing with each other over whom she resembled.


    She shifted her puzzled gaze to Trevor. He cleared his throat and said calmly, "You''ll get used to it."


    Ste felt like she had finally found where she inherited her feisty character from.


    The family argued for quite some time before they finally realized that Ste had been standing there all along.


    Then, Edith immediately said, "Let''s not talk about it anymore.


    Trevor, tell the waiter to serve the dishes now. I''m sure that Ste is starving, right?"


    Ste put on her iconic fake smile. "It''s fine. I''m not that hungry."


    "Come, sit next to me. Let me have a good look at you." Edith said with an amiable smile.


    Ste walked somewhat awkwardly to Edith and was pulled to sit between Edith and Wenham.
