Anyway, Charlie did hear what had happenedst night. Suny disliked Maisy and she was happy to see Maisy fall on evil days, but at least Maisy shared the same family name. And, Maisy had been visiting Charlie and Lily these few years before Suny was introduced to the Murphy Family. Therefore, Suny didn’t want Charlie to know such annoying things. However, the housekeeper simply told Charlie about it when he woke up in the early morning.


    During breakfast, in front of Suny, Charlie just told Robert to stop by and tell the kids like Maisy, Thomas, and Josh to stop visiting so often for nothing special because he must have a rest cure.


    Robert was on Suny’s side and Charlie had spoken out what was in his mind. Now that Charlie had given an oral instruction, he didn’t mind visiting Maisy’s family in person.


    “Just tell us if you have been treated unfairly. Robert and Lily will back you up.” Charlie gave his order and looked toward Suny.


    Suny was a bit moved but helpless. “I see. Grandpa.” She smiled.


    After breakfast, Suny yed chess with Charlie, while Robert just grabbed some presents and left for Maisy’s family.


    Charlie was the senior in the Murphy Family since Maisy’s real grandfather had died long ago. On New Year’s Day or other festivals, Maisy’s parents would visit them in Murphy vi with presents. And it was the first time over so many years for Robert to pay a visit to Maisy’s family.


    Even Maisy’s parents thought there was something wrong with it, let alone Maisy.


    Donald and Ruby looked at each other. Ruby recalled how Thomas and the others hadined about the bad attitude of the Murphy Family. Her heart sank and got uneasy.


    But she didn’t show it on her face. She just smiled and greeted Robert, “Haven’t you been busy these days, Robert? What brought you here today?”


    “Uncle Donald! Aunt Ruby. I haven’t been very busy these days.” Robert nodded and passed the presents to them.


    “It’s very thoughtful of you!” Ruby took over the presents joyfully.


    In fact, she epted the presents not because she was longing for them, but because it was for the first time that Robert had been so hospitable to them over these years.


    Ruby wondered if the Murphy family needed their help with some tough matters. But, something awful had happened to theirpany recently and she didn’t understand why Lily avoided seeing Maisy. Donald and Ruby were thinking of how they would brighten it up for Walter.


    Unexpectedly, Robert just came over at this time.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    Robert nced at Thomas and said to Ruby, “Here’s the thing. Grandpa doesn’t feel well these days and the doctor has told him to have a rest cure. Maisy always likes toe over and keep grandpa’spany, so he sent me here today to inform you guys in advance, in case you can’t see him next time when you stop by.”


    Ruby hardly smiled any after she heard what Robert had said. Well, anyone who wasn’t a fool could understand what he meant by saying that.


    Maisy used to visit the Murphy Family to tter Lily and Charlie every day, but they stopped meeting Maisy two months ago. Maisy and Thomas as well as the others paid a visit to the Murphy Family yesterday but came back with grudge and resentment. And Robert stopped by to tell them these the other day.


    It just couldn’t be more obvious!


    Apparently, Charlie didn’t want to share the family glory with them, not a little bit. After all, they shared the same family name. How could Charlie Murphy be so mean to them? What harm would they bring him if they took advantage of the family rtion?


    However, she simply couldn’t spit out her real thought. She paused, pretended to be happy, and asked in surprise, “What happened to Charlie? Maisy visited him the other day and she told us that Charlie had been doing good. Why the rest cure now?”


    Actually, everyone understood it but kept silent. Robert said it politely only not to embarrass them, but Ruby just asked. So, Robert had to tell them, “Grandpa is doing OK. He is old and doesn’t want to fuss over in the house.”


    Robert nced at Donald while he was talking, “Uncle Donald, I must go now. I’ve got my hands full at home.”


    After that, he turned around to leave.


    Both Ruby and Donald looked stunned. Seeing Robert leave, Thomas and Josh couldn’t help to fume, “That’s too much! He talked as if we really wished to visit them.”


    Ruby red at Thomas, then looked towards Maisy, “Maisy, what on earth had happenedst night? Why did Roberte over and talk to us like that in the early morning?”


    Maisy was also confused. In fact, Lily had made it very clearst night but Maisy was really shameless enough. She thought that Suny wouldn’t be staying in D City all the time. When Suny leftter, she thought they would agree to meet her again if she kept being shameless and visiting them more often.


    What’s more, it was a great humiliation for her to fall into the waterst night. So, she didn’t feel like talking with Ruby when she got back homest night.


    But out of her expectation, Robert just came over with presents to tell them that Charlie must have a rest cure.


    Bullshit! It was just an excuse!


    It was obvious that they didn’t want Maisy to visit Murphy Family! Robert had made his point here. And they wouldn’t let her in even if Maisy was shameless to visit them again.


    So, Charlie was thinking of cutting the rtionship with them!


    Thinking of it, Maisy looked pale for a second, “I don’t know, either, Mum. I… I was pushed into the fish pond by Sunyst night.”


    “You! Why did you irritate Suny for no reason?” Ruby knew her daughter too well.


    But Ruby thought nothing of Suny. She nced at Donald, “Who the hell is this Suny? What’s her story? Is she only the so-called granddaughter of Charlie? Is Charlie getting old and confused? Somehow, we share the same family name with him and Maisy has been visiting him every day over these years. How can he be closer to an outsider than Maisy? How can he do that? Why can’t he do good to Maisy?”


    Ruby really thought Charlie was getting old and confused, and she couldn’t figure out what kind of magic potion Suny had applied to him!


    But, like mother, like daughter. Ruby and Maisy thought alike.


    However, Donald had given it more thought. He found something wrong was going on therest night when he heard Thomas and the others say that Suny was the granddaughter of Charlie and the whole Murphy family was too good to her, and even Lily had turned her back on Maisy because of Suny.


    Now Robert hade over in person to talk to them like that. When he rted it with the thing that Maisy fell into the waterst night, he would say that Robert came over in person to warn them rather than cutting rtions with them.


    Though Charlie was old, Donald knew he wasn’t a dotard. Even if Charlie was a dotard, the rest of the Murphy Family weren’t fools. Could someone young and capable like Robert be a fool?


    It would be OK with him if only Charlie was good to Suny. But ording to Maisy, even the whole Murphy Family was too good to Suny!


    Donald seemed to have thought of something and he looked gloomy, “I remember that Walter’s younger sister went missing thirty years ago…”
