Chapter 941 You'll Always
Be Grandma
Crystal's POV:
After being checked by Laura's doctor, Arron had gotten hungry. The snacks Laura brought weren't enough to satiate the little boy.
"Mommy, I want meat." Arron patted his belly for emphasis, which made Laura chuckle aloud. She immediately scooped Arron up and walked out.
"Let's go. We'll have a feast of meat!"
"Yay! Thank you, Grandma!"
Arron grinned sweetly. He looked like a clever and lively boy, and there was a certain happiness in his eyes that was infectious. It was the first time that he had seen his grandmother in real life, and this little boy seemed very fond of her.
I shook my head helplessly. Looking at them go, I was also very happy. It was nice to be a family like this.
Since Laura was carrying Arron in her arms, I went and opened the door for them. Unexpectedly, I was met with the cold gaze of Rufus, who was standing right outside.
I was so startled that I stepped out and slammed the door in a hurry, hoping that Rufus didn't see the boy behind me.
"Er, why are you still here?" I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down. My mind was racing. I knew that I hadn't said anything that would've given us away to Laura just now. At most, Arron called Laura "Grandma" several times.
My head started to pound. I thought that Rufus had left and had consequently became lax, but it turned out he was standing right outside the door for who knew how long!
Laura quickly put Arron down, opened the door, and walked out. She pretended to be surprised and asked Rufus, "Didn't you leave with the doctor? Why'd you come back?"
Rufus didn't answer Laura's question. His eyes were so deep that no one could tell what was on his mind. He glanced at me and then looked away. "Mom, why did that child call you Grandma?"
It seemed that Rufus had overheard everything. I didn't blame him for being suspicious, because it really was strange for Arron to call Laura "Grandma" the first time they met.
I was racking my brains to come up with an excuse, but fortunately, Laura reacted more quickly. "I like that child. He's obedient, sensible, and cute, so I simply asked him to call me 'Grandma'."
After saying that, Laura snorted indignantly. "You refuse to get married and won't have kids. Can't I get a grandson for myself? Are you going to stop me?"
Embarrassment flashed across Rufus' face. Being rendered speechless, he mumbled a goodbye to Laura and left quickly.
Laura and I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he turned the corner.
"Fortunately, Rufus didn't ask any more questions. If he kept on prodding, I wouldn't have known what to say. We can't talk too much either. That guy is very observant. If we're not careful, he'll find out that something's off." Laura rubbed her temples helplessly.
I smiled bitterly. "Fortunately, Arron was bandaged up, or Rufus would've found out on the spot."
"Yes, good thing."
While we were talking, the door was opened slightly. Arron squeezed past the narrow gap, wrapped his chubby arms around my legs, and asked, "Who was that handsome man?" Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"That was..." I hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to explain it to Arron.
Suddenly, it dawned on Arron. "That handsome man called Grandma 'Mom', so that's Grandma's son, right? Is he my father?"
I stiffened. Inexplicable bitterness surged in my heart as I looked into Arron's expectant eyes. Averting my gaze, I said with difficulty, "No, he's not your father. Don't call Laura 'Grandma' anymore. It's not appropriate."
Arron blinked in confusion. "Why?"
He looked at Laura and stuck out his lower lip. Although he was a little reluctant, he still obeyed me. "Okay, I won't call Grandma 'Grandma' anymore. But Grandma, you'll always be my grandma in my heart."
Laura frowned deeply. She opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but finally she decided against it. She just turned around and secretly wiped away her tears, which made me feel bad.
