“That’s not…”
“If youck suitable candidates, I can handpick some for you.”
Frank was rendered speechless.
That wasn’t his intention at all–he wanted Cecilia as his granddaughter- inw.
“Elder sister, young people drift apart and reconcile. It’s normal. We elders should guide them.”

Wesley, Grandpa truly tried his best.
Second floor.
Wesley stood by the window, overlooking Cecilia in the small garden below.
She reclined on the lounge chair, eyes closed, one hand resting gently over her abdomen as sunlight streamed over her.
Soft and serene.
Brian ran fingers through his tousled hair, thinking only two words.
Deserved.

But at least they were brothers who’d grown up together for years, and Wesley had been a big help with the Johnson family’s matter, so Johan didn’t stop him when Wesley wanted to look.
Go ahead, look.
Take a few more looks.
Soon, you won’t be able to see her.
Although Cecilia had been personally taught by Gwendolyn, she was still somewhatcking in theoretical knowledge, so she nned to go for further studies.
And Sir also agreed with her decision, after all, perfumery isn’t something you can do behind closed doors; it requires more knowledge and a broader perspective.
Cecilia going for further studies was a good thing.
And Johan didn’t tell Wesley any of this.
After all, although he and Wesley were good brothers, Wesley had indeed let Cecilia down.
Three yearster.
Aetherton Airport.
Johan stood in a crisp suit, documents resting in his hand.
His assistant nced at his watch. “It’s time.”
Johan handed the files to his assistant and strode toward the VIP passage with long steps.
There, a slender figure of a woman gradually appeared.

Her ear–length bob framed her face, and the white dress she wore entuated her gentle demeanor. A soft smile yed on her lips, her posture graceful.
Johan spread his arms wide.
“Ci, wee home.”
Cecilia hugged her brother tightly, her smile deepening. “Bro.”
“Let’s go. Grandma’s been waiting for you.”
“Alright.”
The car started and left the airport.
Meanwhile, in a vehicle not far away, Elijah said quietly, “Mr. Carlton, Ms. Zamora has left.”
Wesley closed his eyes, rubbing his temples.
“Let’s go.”
Three years.
She had been gone for three years.
Now she was finally back.
Yet he could only watch from afar, just like every single time these past three years.
Madam hadn’t been feeling welltely, but Cecilia’s return perked her up. She’d been looking toward the gate since early morning.
Mr. and Mrs. Cheng urged her several times to rest, but she wouldn’t listen. They could only stay with her.

Six–year–old Gwendolyn was in senior kindergarten and had taken a day off today.
Like Madam, she was eagerly watching the doorway.
The thirddy could only smile helplessly at this elderly–young pair.
Over an hourter, a car pulled into the courtyard.
Madam and Gwendolyn immediately stood up.
Cecilia stepped out of the car and was instantly pulled into a tight embrace by Madam.
“Wanwan.”
Madam teared up, holding her like precious treasure.
“Grandma.”
Cecilia’s eyes glistened with moisture.
Though she’d kept in touch with her family these three years, nothingpared to physically embracing them back home.
“Mommy.”
Gwendolyn called out longingly.
She wanted to hug her mother but couldn’t interrupt her great- grandma,
She felt utterly torn.
Madam quickly released Cecilia, urging her to greet her child.
Cecilia knelt before Gwendolyn, her voice tender. “Ping An, you’ve grown taller.”

She tightly embraced her son. “Mommy missed you so much.”
Gwendolyn threw her arms around Cecilia’s neck, his voice choked up… “Mommy.”
After crying awhile, Johan lifted Gwendolyn up. “Now that Mommy’s home, you’ll have plenty of time together.”
Qnly then did Gwendolyn’s sobs subside.
Cecilia originally nned to take Gwendolyn with her, but the thirddy persuaded her that Gwendolyn was in poor health and would have trouble adapting abroad.
Besides, Cecilia was pregnant and had to study, so she might not be able to take good care of Gwendolyn. It would be better for her to stay in the country. The thirddy promised to take good care of Gwendolyn, so Cecilia left her behind.
