Chapter 462 Grandma''s Gift


    "Grace, you''re here!"


    Grace looked at Elizabeth, who was standing outside with an excited look on her face, and chose to


    ignore the familiar silhouette behind her.


    She opened the door and got out with a smile. "Grandma!"


    Elizabeth was overjoyed. She went forward and gripped Grace''s arm. "You''re finally here after so


    long!"


    She pulled Gracie into the house as they chatted,pletely ignoring Benjamin, who had just


    parked his car in front of the house.


    Benjamin had seen the other car parked in the yard from afar. He thought that he had gotten it


    wrong at first, until Grace got out of the car and Elizabeth came forward to wee her.


    A small smile appeared on his face.


    As Benjamin got out of the car, a housekeeper came over. "Mr. Hawkins, you''re back."


    Benjamin replied affirmatively. He had the housekeeper carry the things he had bought into the


    house before walking in the door.


    In the living room, Elizabeth asked Grace questions in concern. The two women seemed to be


    chatting happily.


    Benjamin stood at the door and listened to theughtering from the living room, and the smile


    on his face bloomed wider.


    The housekeeper beside him couldn''t help but think that it had been a long time since they had


    seen such a big smile on Benjamin''s face.


    Perhaps Benjamin had noticed the housekeeper''s surprise, because he coughed lightly to conceal


    his emotions. He returned to his perpetual state of sternness before walking toward the living room.


    "Grandma!"


    Hearing Benjamin''s voice, Elizabeth turned back out of instinct. Her face sank instantly after seeing


    Benjamin''s face.


    She said exasperatedly, "You nevere back home, but you just had toe back on the day I


    invited a guest over."


    Benjamin didn''t exin anything. He merely said, "I didn''t have much work to be done at the office


    today, so I came back to visit you."

    Elizabeth had no time to bother with him. She pulled Grace upstairs, saying, "Let''s go, Gracie. I''ve


    prepared a gift for you. Let''s go upstairs to look at it."


    With that, she pulled Grace upstairs. Benjamin was left alone there, looking resigned.


    He seemed to be in a good mood despite that, though. Instead of just standing there, he turned to


    head to the kitchen.


    Elizabeth led Grace to her bedroom mysteriously, muttering, "Don''t be mad, Grace. I didn''t know


    Benjamin woulde back today. I rarely see him normally, but he just had to show up today."


    "It''s okay, Grandma. You don''t have to be hung up on it."


    Grace was thoroughly over Benjamin at this point and didn''t mind meeting him. "I''m here to spend


    time with you, Grandma. Everything else is unimportant."


    Elizabeth saw from Grace''s eyes that she meant what she said.


    "Benjamin didn''t have the good fortune to be with you. He didn''t cherish the bond he had with you.


    You''re a good kid, and you''ll surely find happiness someday."


    Tears welled up in Grace''s eyes. She reached out to embrace Elizabeth. "Thank you, Grandma."


    Elizabeth patted her back, her palms warm. "Good girl. No matter what happens, I''ll be happy as


    long as you''re happy. What was between you and Benjamin is already water under the bridge.


    "That fact that you still care about me and visit me from time to time alone already makes me


    happy."


    "Don''t say that, Grandma! You''ll always be my grandma in my heart."
