“Grandma, please don’t think so. I was jealous when you were so good to the fake Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

granddaughter. I really wanted to tell you back then that I was your granddaughter,” Mila said affectionately.

Loretta bit her lip and wept quietly, her body trembling.

“I didn’t know whether my parents were alive or dead. I wanted to find out about them through the fake Sally. That’s why I put up with it and didn’t tell you the truth. It’s all my fault. I’m sorry.”

Mila rubbed her cheek against Loretta’s shoulder and it melted Loretta’s heart.

Mila had always loved cuddling and being affectionate with Loretta when she was a little girl but had stopped when she turned six.

“Grandma, can you forgive me? Grandma, forgive me just this once. Will you?” Mila gently swung her hand.

Loretta felt even more on

She hung her head and sobbed, then wiped her tears with both

hands and choked out, “I–I’m the one who should be apologizing.”

“Grandma, you’re not wrong. You don’t have to apologize.” Mila smiled brightly. She held Loretta’s hand with one hand and wiped away her tears with the other.

“I” Loretta looked at Mila with reddened eyes.

Mila’s heart shattered at the sight but she smiled and said, “Grandma, come sit with me in the living room. I brought your favorite pastries. Let’s eat together, shall we?”

Loretta nodded but then shook her head. “I’m not mad at you anymore. You’re always busy. You should be tired. Go rest in your room/I–I can eat alone.”

It made Mila sad to see how carefully Loretta was still trying to please her.

With tears in her eyes, Mila took Loretta’s hand and walked over to the couch. She took the box of pastries that Phoebe had handed over, opened it, and smiled at Loretta. “I’m not tired. I want to be with you.”

Loretta looked at Mila in surprise. Mila picked up a pastry and held it up to Loretta’s mouth. ” Grandma, open up. Let me feed you.”

Loretta looked at the pastry in disbelief before finally opening her mouth for a bite. She stared nervously into Mila’s face and asked, “Y–You’re not another fake granddaughter again, are you?”

Mila was amused by Loretta’s reaction. Yet, she felt a pang of melancholy after laughing. She had never treated Loretta as such. Mila assured her, “Grandma, I’m your granddaughter. I haven’t changed. I’ve just become an adult.”

Loretta still had a hard time believing it. Mira leaned into Loretta’s ear and whispered, Grandma, I remember the summer I was eight and I got sick.

“Everyone told me not to eat anything cold but you sneakily bought me a big tub of ice cream.

“We hid under the blanket and enjoyed it together. We had so much fun until Grandpa found

you threw the whole tub of ice cream in his face.”

out. He was so mad at you bo

Loretta laughed as she recalled the memory. “Yeah, your grandpa was so mad at me that he wanted to strangle me so badly. He said the only thing I knew was to harm you.”

Mila wrapped her arms around Loretta’s shoulders and leaned against her. “How could you do me harm? You’ve always been the one who loved me the most.”

The smile on Loretta’s face fell and she suddenly burst into tears. “Wanda! I’m the one who did you harm and made you suffer. I’m truly awful and I don’t deserve you!”

Loretta had just calmed down, but she began to blame herself and cry again.

“Grandma, you did me no harm. I’m fine. You’re the one who loves me most,” Mila said.

A pang of guilt washed over Loretta as she uttered, “I’m the one who broke you and Nate apart. I’m so damned awful. I kept you two apart.”
