Chapter 1834 Moving Back In


    Be felt a tinge of regret as her cunning cousin had managed to outmaneuver her, leaving her


    reluctantly seated across from Elisa.


    Julia, observing the scene with amusement, couldn''t help but chuckle. In her younger days, she had


    been strict about maintaining silence during meals. However, now that she was older and cherished the


    moments spent with her grandchildren, she didn''t mind a bit of chatter andughter at the table.


    Julia began asking Be about her recent life, and Be yfully responded, "I''m doing fine these


    days. I just hope I haven''t caused trouble for my boss, Elisa."


    Julia then turned her attention to Elisa with a yful smile, saying, "And how about you, Elisa? Or


    should I say, Ms. Bt? Has Be caused you any trouble?"


    Caught off guard by the sudden question, Elisa almost choked on her food. She quickly turned in the


    other direction and coughed topose herself.


    Concerned, Julia immediately instructed the maid, Maria, to bring a ss of water. Maria hurriedly


    brought the water, and Gareth promptly put down his chopsticks, taking the towel to gently pat Elisa''s


    back, showing his concern and care.


    Struggling to stop herself from coughing, Elisa said, "I''m fine... just choked... a little…"


    Gareth''s expression remained stern, but there was also a touch of worry in his eyes. "Take your time


    with chewing, don''t gobble down the food like a little kid." His words carried a mixture of reprimand and


    protectiveness.


    Elisa took a moment topose herself, gently using a towel to dab at the corners of her mouth. As


    she met the concerned gazes of Julia and Be, she shook her head reassuringly, saying, "I''m fine."


    Feeling apologetic, Julia said solemnly, "It''s my fault for joking with you like that during the meal."


    Elisa waved her hand to reassure her. "It''s okay, Grandma. I just ate too quickly."


    Relieved, Julia asked Gareth to serve more food to Elisa, who wanted to decline but didn''t want to


    seem impolite, so she picked up the chopsticks again.


    Clearing his throat, Gareth changed the topic. "Elisa, why don''t you tell Grandma how Be is doing in


    yourpany?"


    Taking the cue, Elisa shared excitedly, "Grandma, you might not know yet, but Be has been


    promoted to the head of the project department in mypany."

    "Really? That''s great!" Julia beamed with admiration at Be''s achievements.


    Graciously epting the praise, Be humbly exined that she hadn''t mentioned it earlier because


    she was still in the probationary period. However, she realized that assuming she wouldn''t pass the


    probation would have significantly affected her confidence.


    Pleased with the achievements of the younger generation, Julia smiled and enjoyed the dinner. After


    finishing the meal, the maid brought in some fruits.


    Suddenly, Julia inquired, "By the way, have you moved your things back?"


    Be nodded, "Yes, they are right outside. They can start bringing them upstairs one by one. The only


    thing is, I don''t know which room I''ll be staying in."


    The maid, Maria, took over the conversation. "Miss, all the rooms are cleaned and ready. Why don''t


    you all chat while I bring the workers upstairs?"


    Be thanked Maria, and they continued their conversation.


    A pang of realization hit Elisa as she sensed that Julia had a hidden agenda when mentioning the topic


    of moving in all of a sudden.


    As expected, the corners of Julia''s mouth lifted as she directed her next words toward Elisa, "Let me


    propose this idea: why don''t you and Garry move in as well? The house can amodate all of you.


    With more people, you can take care of each other. Besides, you and Bell can go to work together in


    the morning. What do you think?" Although Julia phrased it as seeking Elisa''s opinion, it was apparent


    that she didn''t expect her to refuse.
