CHAPTER 97: CHAPTER 97: DISTANT WATER CAN’T QUENCH A NEARBY FIRE

Gigi held Dolly’s hand, giving her some hints and strength.

Grandmother’s attire was very unique, wrapping herself tightly, giving off a sense of distance.

Dolly saw that Grandmother was wearing a half-mask, instinctively feeling scared, but she was Grandmother, her relative, she had to win Grandmother’s favor.

Mary supported Mrs. Kingston as she made her way to the sofa.

The children clung tightly to each other’s hands, their eyes blinking brightly.

Under the bright lights, their finely carved features were incredibly delicate, Kristina Kingston examined them closely; the two children’s brows looked very much like Justin Kingston’s.

Such children are hard to dislike, devoid of the wildness of country boys and girls, seeming very polite.

The only flaw is—they were born by Mia Lane.

This greatly dissatisfied Kristina Kingston.

Retracting her gaze, Kristina Kingston sat down on the sofa with a cold face.

The living room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Gigi released his sister’s hand, quickly stepped forward to pick up the teapot; Dolly also coordinated smoothly, holding two cups, aiding her brother to pour two cups of tea.

Kristina Kingston watched them as they handed over the tea.

"Grandmother, please have some tea."

"Big sister, please have some tea."

The soft sounds warmed Mary’s heart, causing her to smile inadvertently, "Thank you." She reached out to take it.

Butler Shelby saw this scene from the side and felt very gratified.

Kristina Kingston couldn’t stubbornly confront a child in front of everyone; that would be too undignified.

She reached out to accept the teacup, taking a sip.

"Grandmother, did you want to speak to Daddy?" Dolly asked with a smile, mustering the courage, "If it’s important, you can call him; if not, perhaps discuss it tomorrow. He’s a bit tired today and might already be asleep."

"Tired? Where did they go?" Kristina Kingston’s gaze locked onto her.

Gigi answered loudly, "Daddy took Mommy on a train out of town!"

"On a train?" Kristina Kingston was shocked, such a fresh term.

Immediately, her face changed, turning grim!

The dignified CEO of Kingston Group, how could he take a train?

Gigi sat on the sofa opposite, his eyes bright, "Grandmother, Daddy took Mommy to fly kites, they went to the beach to build sandcastles, and also visited a little girl Mommy sponsored before! They took many photos!"

He wanted to tell Grandmother that Daddy and Mommy had a great relationship!

Fly kites? Build sandcastles? Take the train?

What magic power does Mia Lane have?

Kristina Kingston panicked, feeling her son had been taken away!

"Grandmother, why don’t you stay the night?" Dolly proactively stepped forward and tugged on her gloved hand.

Kristina Kingston was a bit surprised, intently viewing her; the little girl was as pretty as a porcelain doll, tied with two adorable braids, unlike the imagined country bumpkin, her skin smooth as porcelain.

"Grandmother, if you stay, we’ll sleep with you tonight!" Gigi suggested.

Mary was about to help the lady refuse, but unexpectedly, the lady said, "Okay."

Her son enjoyed peace, accustomed to being alone, so Kristina Kingston had never stayed overnight at Emerald Cove.

The two children exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.

"Grandmother! Let’s go upstairs!" The children came over to guide her.

Mary quickly protected, "Slow down, slow down."

Watching them ascend the stairs, Butler Shelby’s thoughts slowed a beat.

Just like that, the children took Kristina Kingston upstairs.

"Careful, careful!" Mary safeguarded beside them, "Watch your step, go slow!"

Kristina Kingston was wrapped tightly from head to toe, exposing only half her face; her body didn’t hurt, but the burn scars on her skin were unsightly, such attire was just to cover the scars.

Several figures vanished at the stair corner.

Miss Zhou approached Butler Shelby, worriedly asking, "What to do? Should we inform Mr. Kingston?"

"Mr. Kingston isn’t in Riventhal... I’m afraid distant water won’t quench the near fire."
