“I’m not picky about food. Whatever you enjoy, I enjoy too,” Remy stated, his devotion to her evident.
Elisa felt a profound sense of contentment. “I’m going to check on my nephew; I just heard him crying. Call me when dinner’s ready—just yell over the wall.”
Remy smiled. “Sure. Bring the baby over if he wants to play for a bit.”
Ever since he began going on little outings, the baby had developed a fondness for the outdoors. If he cried despite being well-fed and rested, it was clear—he simply wanted to go outside.
As Elisa stepped out, she called back, “Let’s leave him with Grandpa Jimenez for now. Otherwise, he’ll cry and insist on going out, which would ruin our peaceful dinner. Grandpa Jimenez adores him anyway. He keeps saying he wants to live a few more years just to see more young ones grow up.”
Grandpa Jimenez’s zest for life was fueled by family. He had never married or had children of his own, and in his younger years, he hadn’t given much thought to old age. His loyalty had always been to the head of the family.
Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that, in his twilight years, Miss Audrey would take him in and care for him as if he were her own. Now, he found himself surrounded by the warmth of a family he had never anticipated.
He often thought that if the head of the family were still alive, he would be overjoyed to see so many children and grandchildren. But some wounds never heal. Even in death, he could not forgive Clarissa. Not even if she had turned to dust.
She had accused him of never considering her feelings, but how could she? She had merely sought an excuse to justify her cruelty. His loyalty had always belonged to the head of the family; that was his world.
This was his duty. Without it, he wouldn’t have cared about Clarissa at all. He had raised the third lady since she was a child, and unlike Clarissa, she had never entertained inappropriate thoughts about him. The mere memory of Clarissa’s obsession and resentment made him feel ill—she had been over twenty years his junior! However, there was no point in dwelling on her now. She had sought forgiveness from the head of the family, though whether it had been granted remained uncertain. For Grandpa Jimenez, the only thing left to do was to live a little longer—to witness the growth of Miss Audrey’s and Miss Harlow’s children. Once they had their own families, he could finally rest and reunite with the head of the family. Remy smiled, knowing that Grandpa Jimenez adored Clive’s son. His deep affection for the younger generation was rooted in his unspoken love for their mother.
Elisa stepped outside, crossed the yard, and soon entered her family’s villa. The baby had already been calmed. While some babies are difficult to soothe when they cry, this little one was easy. He loved to cry, but he was just as quick to be comforted. Audrey had taken him in her arms, and the moment she did, he stopped crying and smiled at her, melting her heart. She showered his chubby cheeks with kisses. When Elisa walked in, the Stone family had already finished dinner. They were all gathered in the living room, the TV playing softly in the background. No one was really watching; they were all focused on the baby. Though he couldn’t speak yet, he babbled happily, eager to engage.
“Mom, I’m back,” Elisa said as she made her way toward her mother.
