"Because your body condition hasn't been very good lately, I bought you some health supplements, grandma!" gerald said as he put down his gift as soon as he entered.
“Huh! How rare it is to see you so wise!” lady Yaleman replied in a serious tone. After all, Gerald came empty-handed on his actual birthday that day.
Regardless, while it is true that she does not acknowledge Yulia, she must admit that it is almost impossible to cut the bond between mother and child perfectly. Moreover, Gerald and Jessica are his biological grandchildren.
As a grandmother, she had honestly always wanted to at least have some form of contact with him.
However, when he first saw how pitiful Gerald looked, he immediately thought of Dylan. Both father and son are very similar... Their characteristics are similar too.
They are simply the type of people who never retaliate or fight others, even if they are scolded or beaten.
After a slightly agonizing silence, Lady Yaleman asked, "...Has your mother been living a good life all this time, Gerald?"
"He has. To be honest, my mom misses you a lot!” gerald said while sitting upright.
“Huh! He had a good life even when he was with someone like your father? I know why you're here, Gerald, and I'm obliged to tell you that it's not uncommon for the Yaleman family to share property with people from outside the family. You can give up on that. After all, it has been over twenty years now and I have never heard a word from that woman. I'm afraid he must think I'm dead long!” lady Yaleman replied angrily.
Hearing that, Gerald smiled before saying, “Please don't say that, grandma. To be honest I'm not here for any of the Yaleman family properties. The reason I'm here is to moderate the hatred between you and mother. ”
"Medium? I won't even live much longer, so what's the point of that? Moreover, all of this started when she ran away from the wedding that year! Not only did it cause the Leans family to fight the Yaleman like a mad dog, it was also the reason why our family position continued to deteriorate over the years. While we were the heads of the four great families here back then, we are now the last! We really suffered a lot because of him!” lady Yaleman replied as she grew angry.
“Although that's true, the Leans family was immediately destroyed by someone else, right?” gerald replied as he slowly raised his head.
“I just want to say something because I'm already here today. It wasn't entirely my mother's fault for what happened back then. With all due respect, you are also responsible for all of that. Besides, things change. You might have thought that my father was just a poor man back then, but who said that he remained the same after twenty years? Whatever, I hope you rest well, grandma. I'll come see you again in a few days, ” Gerald said as he got up to leave.
Lady Yaleman could only stare at her back in surprise as she left the room.
This was the first time he had a formal chat with his granddaughter, and it was also the moment when he realized that Gerald was not a weak quiet man like how he presented himself.
Gerald also seemed to show her something rather unreasonable during their brief conversation.
After escorting Gerald away, the butler began to open the package of gifts Gerald had left in another room. Usually, the butler will record everything from the identity of the person who gave the gift, to the content of the gift itself—at the time Lady Yaleman received the gift.
However, he was so stunned upon seeing the contents of the gift box that he forgot to do so.
Instead, he started knocking on Lady Yaleman's door before anxiously saying, “C-chairman! See the gift Mr Gerald Crawford gave you!”
After allowing her in, Lady Yaleman's eyes immediately widened in shock as she looked at the reward in the hands of her butler's head.
“It...”
“If I am not mistaken, this seems to be an involucrate of Saussurea that has been bid for by Chairman Thomson of Yanken. It is said that this thousand year old ginseng has the ability to fight all diseases and also promises longevity!”
