Just as they expected, he saw Old Mr. Allson yelling at Nanny Daisy as soon as they walked in.
"Old woman, what’s wrong with getting you help out for a walk? There are doctors everywhere. What can happen to ?"
When he heard that, Christopher roughly understood what had happened. Without waiting for Nanny Daisy’s reply, he said, "Grandpa, look who’s here."
As he spoke, he pushed Alia towards the bed.
Old Mr. Allson’s was feeling rather unhappy but when he looked up, he saw the face that he had been missing. Surprise flashed in his eyes, lighting them up. However, that faded away quickly and he complained, "So you do know how to co back."
Alia looked at her father who was getting older and older. His face was pale due to the pain of his illness. She could not help the tears that welled up in her eyes.
"Dad, I’m back."
She threw herself into Old Mr. Allson’s arms with tears in her eyes.
The father and daughter hugged each other.
"So you still rember that you have a father? You’ve been gone for ten years!" Old Mr. Allson snapped.
Alia sniffled.
"Dad, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have left willfully then. But why didn’t you tell earlier that you were sick? Otherwise, I would have co back long ago."
Old Mr. Allson snapped at him, "You’re willing to just let your business in Europe go like that?"
"So what if I can’t bear to let it go? After all, I only have one father."
As she spoke, she wiped away her tears.
"You always tease ."
Old Mr. Allson harrumphed.
The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled.
Christopher, who was standing by the side, teared up without realizing it. Back then, his mother had been so determined to leave that even he could not stop her.
mories of the past ca back to Christopher. He frowned and cald down before stepping forward.
"Grandpa, do you feel better recently?"
Old Mr. Allson sighed. "What do you an? Every day counts at my age. By the way,
have you seen Janice yet?" He asked Alia.
Alia shook her head. "Not yet. We made plans to have lunch together later."
Old Mr. Allson nodded with relief. "Janice is a good girl. You’ll like her when you see her."
He sighed.
However, Alia glanced at Christopher who was standing beside her and said proudly, "Of course. Of course, I will like the person that my son chose."
At noon.
Janice did not see Christopher when she arrived at the restaurant.
She looked around with a frown and called Christopher.
"Where are you? Why don’t I see you?"
Christopher said, "I’ll be right there. Wait for in room No. 6."
Janice nodded and followed the waiter to the door of room No.6.
She opened the door of the room and saw a woman sitting inside. She was instantly stunned and her first reaction was that she had entered the wrong room. She hurriedly apologized. "I’m sorry, I’ve entered the wrong room." Janice made the leave the room.
"It’s you."
There was a sudden noise behind her.
Looking back in puzzlent, Janice realized that it was the lady that she had t at the airport. She nodded, "Nice to et you."
When Alie saw her, she hurried forward and said, "Since we bumped into each other, let’s have a al together. I still haven’t thanked you for helping out this morning."
Janice hurriedly said, "It’s nothing, I have an appointnt."
Alia did not insist that she stay. So she said, "Well, let’s et another day then."
The two of them got each other’s numbers.
Janice turned around and went out of the room. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Christopher in the corridor.
When Christopher saw her coming out from the room, he asked in confusion, "Why did you co out?"
...
Janice glared at him. "It’s all your fault for rembering the wrong place. You made go to the wrong place as well."
Hearing her words, Christopher seed to understand what had happened. He said secretively, "Co in with ."
As he spoke, he pulled her along without waiting for her to react.
The door closed and then opened again. Alia looked up and saw her son coming in. She subconsciously glanced behind her son and saw Janice standing behind Christopher. She was stunned and was about to speak, but Christopher cut her off.
"Janice, let introduce you. This is my mother, mother, this is Janice."
However, just as he said that-
"It’s you?"
"It’s you?"
The two of them spoke at the sa ti.
Christopher stood between the two. He glanced at them and asked in confusion, "Why? Do you know each other?"
Alia ignored her son’s question. She took a step forward and pulled Janice to her side. "She is the helpful reporter who helped at the airport that I told you about before. This is fate."
Christopher was stunned when he heard that.
"What a coincidence!"
"What a coincidence. This is called fate."
Alia patted Janice’s hand as she spoke.
"Yeah, I didn’t expect it to be you either." Said Janice.
"Co, sit down first. Let’s talk while eating."
As the three of them took their seats, Alia pulled Janice to sit down next to her.
She wanted to take a good look at her daughter-in-law.
The more she looked at Janice, the happier she felt.
Alia couldn’t help her lips from curving upwards.
Janice never expected that she would suddenly et her mother-in-law.
Recalling that she was wearing a professional outfit today, she couldn’t help but glare at Christopher.
He didn’t tell her earlier that she would be eting his mother so that she could go
back and change into more formal clothes. After all, it was her first ti eting her.
She had wanted to leave a good impression on Christopher’s mother.
Christopher t her angry eyes. He reached out from under the table and held her hand, indicating that she didn’t have to be nervous.
Alia put the nu in front of her daughter-in-law and said, "Janice, co, take a look at the nu and see what you want to eat."
Janice felt a little ill at ease and she politely refused, saying, "Why don’t you order. I am not picky."
Christopher looked at the two of them letting each other order and said, "Mom, she doesn’t like to order. Let do it."
He opened the nu and started ordering as he spoke.
Alia rolled her eyes at her son. "Aren’t you being too overbearing? Janice still has to go along with your tastes."
"No, she likes everything I order."
Christopher sounded a little upset.
"Is that so? Janice do you like eating these things?" Alia turned around to ask Janice.
Janice nodded, looking a little embarrassed.
Upon seeing this, Alia smiled and rolled her eyes at her son. "I didn’t expect you to get it."
He already knew how to take care of people.
"Janice, don’t be shy. We are a family. We will get along well with each other in the future. If he dares to bully you, tell , and I will definitely help you."
Alia could tell that Janice was nervous and tried to comfort her.
Janice knew that her mother-in-law wanted her to feel more comfortable, and she was a little embarrassed. "Christopher treats very well."
"Let’s hear it," Christopher said haughtily.
Alia glared at him and said, "Don’t be too proud now. It’s not good enough for Janice to say so now. Just wait until you two are in your eighties. It only counts if she still says that then."
...
The al was very pleasant.
When they parted ways, Alia held Janice’s hand and said. "I’m so happy to have t you today. Oh right, I have a present for you."
She took out an exquisite jewelry box from her bag and opened it as she spoke. "This was specially designed for you. It was originally an entire set, but I ca back in a hurry this ti and only finished this piece. See if you like it."
Janice looked at the box and saw a pair of exquisite diamond earrings inlaid with precious sapphires. They looked elegant but not ostentatious. It was low-key and classical. This was her preferred style.
However, it was too expensive.
"It’s too valuable."
Although she liked it very much, she still felt that it was a little expensive.
Alia replied, "It isn’t much. I ca back in a hurry. If you think it’s expensive, you can call mom and treat this as a fee for getting you to change the way you address ."
Since Alia said so, Janice couldn’t refuse anymore. She took the box and greeted Alia respectfully, "Mom".
Alia smiled happily and said, "You guys go ahead. I’ll look around." Janice bid farewell to Alia and walked towards the car.
Christopher followed her. Since he had left his car to his mother, he would have to drive Janice’s car back.
Alia watched the two leave and couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration: What a good match!
She was about to open the door and get into the car when her phone suddenly rang.
She picked up the call.
It was unknown what the person on the other end of the line had said, but her expression turned cold. "You sent soone to monitor ? I’m warning you, don’t call again."
She hung up the phone with a frosty look.
Christopher drove while Janice sat in the passenger seat.
She studied the earrings that Alia had gifted her. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them.
It was no wonder that a designer’s work was often related to the designer’s personality. As expected, Alia looked like a low-key and tasteful person, and the pieces she designed were naturally the sa.
She liked them very much.
"How is it? Do you like them?"
Christopher asked when he saw her holding the earrings and studying them carefully.
Janice replied, "I do."
Her face was full of joy, and it could be seen that she liked them from the bottom of her heart.
"I’m glad you like them," he said. "Was I right? My mother is easy to get along with."
Janice nodded. "I didn’t expect my mother-in-law to be so easygoing."
"That’s to be expected. My mother is very real. She has always been soone who is honest with how she feels. She has never liked to do those superficial things. Thus, when she likes you, she truly likes you."
Janice could tell.
After being a reporter for so many years, the only ability she had learned was to see whether a person was sincere or not.
"By the way, tomorrow is Wednesday. Do you rember that I asked you to make ti for last ti?"
Janice replied, "I do, but why?"
She had never understood why he had asked her to make ti for him on Wednesday.
Christopher did not answer, but said, "Just tell if you are free."
After so thought, Janice figured that she should be free since she had nothing to do at the TV station.
She nodded. "Kind of."
Christian said, "That’s good."
"But what exactly are you planning to do? I think I have the right to know."
"You’ll know when the ti cos." Said Christopher mysteriously.
