Chapter 162: 106: Not a fuel-efficient lamp 2

One can understand the feeling of losing a child.

Just like her back then.

A car accident took away her husband, son, and daughter-in-law.

If it weren’t for a crying, dependent grandson, she wouldn’t have made it through.

What people fear most is a lack of spiritual support and hope.

Mrs. Thompson sighed, “l understand what you’re saying, but that’s not how

From Viola’s perspective, if she were to be found and discover that there was a sister her age in her family, who had almost been adopted as soon as she went missing.

What would Viola think?

Moreover, Sylvia is not an easy person to deal with.

“Think of the bright side, dear,” Grandma Sherman comforted her, “Your most important task now is to be happy every day, regain your strength, find your child, and be there for her college graduation, wedding, and your grandchild’s one-month celebration.’

Graduation, wedding, one-month celebration…

Hearing this, Mrs. Thompson’s eyes filled with light.

But…

Will there really be such a day?

Grandma Sherman saw through her worries and said with a smile, “Trust me, we’ll find the child. You still have good fortune ahead.”

Elena Williams chimed in, “Auntie is right, we will definitely find Viola as long as we don’t give up. Our big family has never taken a family portrait before, so when Viola comes back, let’s take a family portrait.”

“Yes, a family portrait.”

Mrs. Thompson nodded with a smile.

She will surely live to see that day.

After dinner, Mrs. Thompson suggested that Elena and Grandma Sherman go home.

Grandma Sherman refused with a smile, “No need, my grandson Trevor will come to pick me up in a while.”

Putting aside his poor judgment in women, Trevor really had no other flaws.

“Alright, let’s chat a bit more then.”

“Sure.”

They chatted for only a short while before Trevor arrived.

“Grandma.’

Seeing Trevor, Grandma Sherman stood up with a smile, “Trevor, this is an old comrade of mine from when I was young. You can call her Grandma Thompson.”

“Grandma Thompson,” Trevor politely greeted her.

Mrs. Thompson nodded with a smile, “Good.”

For some reason, Trevor didn’t find Mrs. Thompson unfamiliar at all.

It was as if…

He had seen Mrs. Thompson somewhere before.

But he clearly had never met her before.

Grandma Sherman continued, “This is your Grandma Thompson’s daughter-in-law, you can call her Second Aunt.”

“Second Aunt.’

“Hello.”

After getting acquainted, Trevor left with Grandma Sherman.

On the way…

Trevor asked, ‘Grandma, have I seen Grandma Thompson somewhere before?”

“No,” Grandma Sherman shook her head, “l haven’t seen her myself in many years. ”

Trevor frowned slightly, “Then why does she seem so familiar?”

There wouldn’t be such a sense of familiarity if they had never met before.

Grandma Sherman thought carefully and then explained, “You probably saw her in an old photo at home.”

During their time in the military, she and Mrs. Thompson had taken a picture together.

Back then, they were full of vigor.

Time flies, and so many years have passed since.

Trevor seemed to realize something, “So the person in the picture standing next to you is Grandma Thompson?” “Yes, it’s her,” Grandma Sherman nodded.

Trevor suddenly understood.

No wonder…

No wonder he found Mrs. Thompson so familiar.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Adam called Elizabeth Thompson on time, inviting her to discuss the contract signing.

During these three days, Elizabeth had thoroughly investigated Adam’s background.

Adam was a veteran figure in the UK.

He was also the head of the River City branch.

Who in the UK wouldn’t lower their head when they saw him?

But now…

This powerful figure, who usually received flattery from everyone, was actually serving her, tending to her every need.

This inflated Elizabeth’s ego to the extreme.

Probably no one else in River City received such special treatment but her.

Elizabeth held her phone, “Sorry, I’m still quite busy these days, can we postpone it for another two days?”

If it were someone else, two days’ delay probably wouldn’t be acceptable.

But who is Elizabeth?

Adam, afraid of offending his future boss’s wife, immediately replied, “No problem, Miss Thompson. You go ahead with your business, and I’ll contact you when you have time.”

“Alright,” Elizabeth dijo.

Adam carefully hung up the phone.

Looking at the disconnected call, Elizabeth smirked.

Here, Elizabeth had just hung up Adam’s call and received Trevor’s.

She tossed her phone aside without answering.

But Trevor on the other end was very persistent.

Finally, on his third attempt, Elizabeth picked up the phone.

Trevor invited Elizabeth to have dinner together.

“Alright, Big Brother Sherman, I have something to tell you too,” Elizabeth said.

After hanging up, Elizabeth changed her clothes and went out.

Half an hour later, she arrived at the agreed-upon restaurant.

Trevor had already ordered her favorite dishes, “Emma, see if there’s anything you want to add.”

“This is enough,” she replied.

Trevor nodded, knowing that Emma didn’t want to waste food.

Elizabeth always cared about others like this, always thinking of others. Elizabeth took a sip of water. and then looked at Trevor. “Biz Brother Sherman, let’s meet less in the future.’

Trevor was taken aback, quickly asking, “Why?”

He and Elizabeth had always had a very pleasant relationship so far.

And they shared many common topics. Elizabeth’s sudden statement made Trevor flustered.

With an apologetic expression, Elizabeth said, “Grandma Sherman was right, I might not have handled some things appropriately, and I didn’t explain them to you either. Big Brother Sherman, you’re an outstanding person and there’s someone better waiting for you. I can’t hold you back..”
