Mrs. Grant stopped for a while and walked towards them, saying, “You are all chatting here.”
Katherine noticed that there were only three cups of juice on the servant’s plate.
She didn’t say anything and looked at Mrs. Grant with a smile.
Mrs. Grant rolled back her eyes at her and told the servant to hand over the juices to them, “You must
be thirty now. I have told them to make pomegranate juice. It tastes really good.”
Naturally, she didn’t prepare the one for Katherine.
The servant also knew it was hard for them to share three cups and could only put the cups in the
middle of the table.
She remembered Katherine kicked her when she got angry last time and she didn’t dare make her
angry again.
Marshall took a cup, didn’t drink it but only sniffed it.
Then he handed the cup to Katherine and said, “I don’t like this kind of juice.”
He turned around to look at the servant and said, “You can send me a glass of water later.”
Katherine smiled and pushed the cup away, “Also bring me a cup of water. I don’t like to drink this
either.”
Lucas smiled and also said, “I will also have one. This is too sweet for me.”
Katherine wanted to laugh because she could feel Mrs. Grant was more embarrassed than Clara.
Mrs. Grant never expected things would go in this way and was startled when standing beside the,
At first, she was really unhappy when seeing Marshall gave Katherine the juice.
However, she didn’t expect Katherine refused it, which made her so awkward.
Clara raised up her hands and took one cup, saying, “Then I will have them all. I am really thirty now.”
Katherine nodded and looked at her with a fake smile.
The servant hurriedly said, “I will bring you the water.”
She took the plate and left, leaving Mrs. Grant stand here alone.
Lucas said kindly, “Aunt. How about having a chat with us?”
There were some chairs nearby and she only have to move one here.
Mrs. Grant gently rejected him. Then she turned around and said to Clara in a kind manner, “Clara, do
you want to have some fruits? I can tell the servant to bring you some.”
Clara curled up the lip and replied, “Anything is fine, thank you.”
Katherine slowly stood up and stretched herself, saying, “I’d better go to the main building and greet
grandma. I haven’t visited her yet.”
Marshall raised up his eyes and also stood up, saying, “Let’s go there together. There are lots of
people.”
Lucas followed them and said, “Then I will also leave with you. I have spent a long time here.”
Hearing their words, Katherine curled up her lip and glanced at Clara.
Clara hadn’t finished her juice yet and she hurriedly put it down.
She couldn’t sit here alone when everyone was gone.
She was really passive.
Mrs. Grant also noticed her uneasiness. She grabbed her hands and suggested, “Maybe she can chat
with me here. I have told the servants to cook some dishes and will bring them to you later.”
Clara agreed with her suggestion politely.
Katherine didn’t care about them and headed to the main building.
The main building was decorated jubilantly with many plants setting along the road and some inner
decoration.
Old Mrs. Grant was chatting with Katherine’s uncles and aunts on the sofa.
There were many tea cups and fruits on the table.
Katherine went in and called grandmother with a smile. Then she turned to look at younger Mr. Grant
and said, “Happy birthday, uncle.”
Seeing Katherine behaved well, old Mrs. Grant hurriedly waved hands at her, saying, “Come here and
sit beside me.”
There was an empty place beside her and Katherine went to sit here.
It seemed nobody remember they were having a bad time in the same place before.
Younger Mrs. Grant was sitting close to Katherine and moved away her eyes after glancing at her.
Marshall came and explained, “Kathy went to check the store. That’s why she came here late.”
Old Mrs. Grant nodded and said, “She’s not late. We haven’t started lunch yet.”
Mr. Grant looked at Katherine and said, “Kathy, what’s your gift? It is really large. I have asked Marshall
but he also doesn’t know.”
Katherine replied, “It’s a tea set. I don’t know whether uncle will like it or not. I just feel it’s pretty on my
first sight. However, this thing is really heavy and took us a while to bring it here.”
Younger Mr. Grant was delighted when hearing it was a tea set. He was fond of tea culture and put tea
sets in both his room and the study.
Katherine’s gift was exactly what he wanted.
Marshall turned around to look at Katherine and moved his eyebrow.
Younger Mr. Grant was happy and said, “I really love collecting tea set. I am picking a new set for my
office because the old set’s corner is broken.”
He couldn’t help wrapping the gift now and said, “It is in my house. Let me go back and check it.”
Old Mrs. Grant also said, “I will go with you. I also remember it is a large gift and is really curious about
it.”
Katherine didn’t know what texture the tea set was. She only knew there were lots of accessories in it
and there was also buffered package nailed by wood boards. That was why it was heavy.
Seeing old Mrs. Grant leave, the others also followed her.
A bunch of people were getting out of the main building.
Mrs. Grant and Clara were still sitting in the yard when the former one was always talking behind
Katherine’s back.
She said it was all because of Katherine who made Marshall to live with her and she didn’t mention
anything that she was kicked by Katherine.
She could only say that she quarrelled with her and Katherine couldn’t stand the life here. That was
why she made Marshall moved outside with her.
Clara blinked her eyes and said innocently, “Didn’t Marshall help you?”
Mrs. Grant would never talk bad words her son and could only say, “He also scolded her, but you know
he couldn’t do anything with her when she was unreasonable. Besides, it was not a good time for them
to quarrel because of what happened in the WF group.”
Clara slowly nodded and said, “I see.”
Mrs. Grant opened her eyes widely and said, “Yes, they are not in a good relation.”
Clara squeezed the cup tightly and looked worried.
She reminded of the time when she saw marks on Katherine’s neck.
It seemed they were in a good relation but she could tell Marshall was violent at that time when having
sex.
She couldn’t imagine how excited they were at that time.
Mrs. Grant wanted to continue talking when she found a bunch of people were heading to the back
yard from the old house.
She was startled and hurriedly stood up, saying, “What are they doing? Where will they go?”
Clara also stood up and noticed old Mrs. Grant, whose arms were held by Katherine.
Old Mrs. Grant was talking to her kindly when they were walking, which really hurt Clara’s heart.
People were all from the Grant from and only she was an exempt who was invited by Mrs. Grant.
She was not supposed to be here.
Mrs. Grant got anxious and said, “Let’s see what happened.”
She hurriedly brought Clara and followed them.
It was not far from younger Mr. Grant’s house.
Younger Mr. Grant got in first. There were lots of gits on the ground and they were sent by his brothers
and their children.
The gift Katherine picked was so large and was so obvious among the crowd.
Lucas went forward and unpacked the gift together with younger Mr. Grant.
It seemed Katherine really took a great effort to wrap this gift. There was a buffered package inside,
nailed by pieces of wood and stuffed by foam boards.
Younger Mr. Grant was really surprised when seeing the gift inside.
Marshall’s expression also became serious because he could tell that this thing worth a great deal of
money. Then he turned around to look at Katherine.
