Allison's voice, filled with concern, sounded over the phone. "Nora? Oh dear. Why didn't you tell me about the significant incident that happened a couple of days ago? I just found out that you almost didn't make it back! Are you treating me like a stranger now?" Lenora quickly replied, "No. How could I ever treat you like a stranger? I just didn't want to worry you, Grandma. I'm perfectly fine now, aren't I?"
"Hey, I'm not as fragile as you all think. You all kept Johanne's matters from me, and now you're hiding your affairs too. You're all treating me as if I'm a nobody."
"You're not a nobody, Grandma. This time, it was my fault. In the future, if anything happens, I'll make sure you're the first to know."
"You always know how to say the right things to cheer me up. Alas... The
Hoffman family called today, saying they will come over tomorrow to apologize. It was only then that I found out about your near abduction. Bertram's second wife is your mother, so the one who tried to kidnap you is your cousin? People can really be wicked, and that's why So, it turns out a member of the Hoffman family has made a call to the Fuller residence. No wonder Grandma sud learned about this matter. Reflecting on Summer's attitude, Lenora said, "Grandma, there's no need for to go over. Maybe Mr. Hoffman is genuinely apologeti
cm
Genuinely apologetic my foot! Allison thought. If it weren't for the connection with Zachary, and if Lenora were just an ordinary person, would Bertram have humbled himself to personally apologize? Impossible. Perhaps he would've even stepped in to lend Summer a helpin over."
"Okay," Lenora responded.
After hanging up the phone, Lenora bought some fruits and headed to the Fuller residence to visit Allison.
Unexpectedly, Griselda was also there.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Upon seeing Lenora, Griselda immediately began pouring out her troubles to her.
Ever since she saw Mindy at the mall, she had taken a strong dislike toward the latter, hoping that Stanley would break up with her. Stanley verbally agreed, but a few days later, he came home and suddenly announced that Mindy was pregnant. Griselda was absolutely livid.
Yet, there was nothing she could do since it was Stanley who failed to restrain himself.
She had a discussion with Stanley, suggesting that Mindy should terminate her pregnancy, and in return, she would provide her with hundreds of thousands in compensation.
Unexpectedly, Mindy disagreed, and so did Stanley.

Griselda had no choice but to compromise. She would allow Mindy to have their child and even hold a wedding
ceremony. However, she insisted that they would not register their marriage officially and would announce their divorce a few years later.
Lenora was taken aback. "Stanley wouldn't agree to it, would he?"
"He agreed," Griselda said.
Lenora was dumbstruck.
Observing the surprised expression on Lenora's face, Griselda chuckled, "He's my son. Don't you think I know him well? I can tell that he doesn't have strong feelings for Mindy. He's just interested in the child.
After all, the child would be Griselda's first grandson or granddaughter. Since they were to stay, they needed a proper lineage Therefore, she agreed to let Mindy and Stanley have a wedding ceremony without an officia marriage registration. This way, it would appear to everyone that the
ve
child was born in wedlock.
The corner of Lenora's mouth twitched as she was momentarily rendered speechless. "How far along is Ms. Schmidt in her pregnancy? Is the wedding date set?"
"She told me she got pregnant
around the New Year, so she's now
about two months along. Nathan and I have discussed it, and we've
decided to set the wedding for the month after next, keeping everything simple."
"All right. In just a few months, you'll be able to hold your grandchild," Lenora remarked.
"I know, right?" Griselda laughe
