Chapter 402
Juliette's eyes lit up the moment she saw Michael.
“Oh? He's unwell?”
Juliette liked her great-grandfather a lot, for she remembered him giving them a huge house.
From the fact that she had a princess-themed room inside it, she knew that her great-grandfather cared a lot about them.
Felicia nodded repeatedly. “That's right. He's my grandpa, and I was the one who sent him to the hospital. However, he insisted on seeing you and instructed me to pick you up. We have to hurry now, or we might not make it back in time to see him.”
Driven by desperation, Felicia didn't mind cursing her own grandfather.
After all, Michael never loved her and only cared for Gwendolyn.
Juliette pondered about the matter. “All right. Shall I get my brothers?”
Felicia was stunned, for she hadn't expected Juliette to be smart enough to mention her brothers.
Considering that both of them were even sharper, she knew that they would quickly see through her plan.
“Juliette, there's an infectious disease going around recently, so the hospital is very strict and only allows one visitor. Since Grandpa keeps mentioning your name, I figured that you must be his favorite. I'll therefore take you first. If his condition improves, I'll take your brothers to see him tomorrow and the day after.”
Hmm, that's right. Since we have to wear masks recently, the hospital must be very strict with its rules.
“Okay.”
Felicia proceeded to hold her hand. “Can you tell the teacher outside that I'm your aunt, as I don't think we have much time left?”
Nodding in agreement, Juliette allowed Felicia to hold her hand and lead her out of the teacher's office.
At that moment, the teacher was chatting with a parent who was also there to pick up his child earlier.
The moment she saw Juliette come out, she asked, “Juliette, is this your aunt? Should I give your mom a call?”
Juliette broke into a vibrant smile that looked exceptionally cute.
“Ms. Peaches, she's my aunt. We'll be going now. Bye, and see you tomorrow!”
Her voice was so sweet that Felicia knitted her brows in annoyance. She's just too good in flattery.
Nonetheless, Felicia had no choice but to play along by smiling at the teacher.
“Bye, Ms. Peaches!”
Upon leaving the kindergarten, Felicia lowered her head to glance at Juliette.
She resembles Gwendolyn a lot. In fact, she's just like a mini version of her. She's so beautiful that it makes one jealous, especially women.
All her life, Felicia had been jealous of Gwendolyn's beauty and the attention everyone, especially Michael, showered on her.
Suddenly, she asked, “Juliette, did Gwendolyn teach you to speak that way? It's too mushy. People won't like it.”
Juliette had always spoken in a sweet voice. She wasn't doing it on purpose, as it was a child's natural cadence.
She stared at Felicia with her eyes twinkling brightly. “Oh, is that so?”
Despite her question, she had a mind of her own.
Felicia responded with a grin. As long as she could teach Juliette the wrong things, it would hinder the latter's ability to curry favor with Michael and Hector.
As Felicia carried Juliette into the car, she pretended to treat her well and care about her.
“Juliette, be careful. Don't hit your head.”
After settling down, Juliette hummed in acknowledgment. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
Felicia subsequently entered the car and instructed the driver, “To the Lowen residence.”
She then turned her attention to Juliette. “Let me give you some advice. Don't greet anyone you see, as you'll look cooler that way. Also, don't keep smiling all the time because it will make you look like a fool. Just look at Patrick; doesn't he wear a serious expression all the time and ignore everyone? But a lot of people still like him, don't they?”
Hmm, that seems the opposite of what Mommy told me. Gwen says that we should smile and greet whoever we see. When we leave, we have to remember to say goodbye. That's how a well-mannered child should behave.
