There were two boxes of them. In other words, the old ma’am was a real treasure.

“In the Hockley family, grandma, you were the most respectable elder.” Charles suddenly opened his mouth. His tone of voice was rarely not so cold

The old ma''am looked at Rosemary''s sincere caring face, and then rxed her gloominess and nodded, “OK, my girl.
Charles nced at Rosemary. and soon retracted his sight.
This topic has adjourned.
After dinner, Rosemary apanied the old ma''am for a walk in the back garden.
The old ma''am didn’t know about the details of Rosemary and Charles''s divorce. She held Rosemary''s hand and chattered, saying that it was all
Charles’s faults, childish, irresponsible, male chauvinism. She subtly revealed her secret intention of hoping Rosemary would forgive Charles. Now
who is the child...
While, for Rosemary, always found a way to quietly changed the topic.
The old and the young ma’am chatted in the back garden until more then ten o''clock, about the olddy’s past, which Rosemary loved to hear and
never showed any impatience.
Later, it was gettingte. Rosemary had to bid farewell to the old ma’am, since now they didn''t live together anymore. The old ma’am restated her
wish to keep Rosemary to live back with her, but Rosemary declined several times, so she had to give up, for the time being.
“Grandma, you go inside now, someone ising to pick me up.” At the beginning, the old ma‘am didn’t submit to Rosemary''s words. She puta

“Well, don’t ley anyone pick you up sote.” The olddy said this as pushing her to Charles, “It happens that Charles was going back to the city. I''ll
see you off on the way.”
