When they heard that they would go to the Rong Mansion to visit Great Grandpa and great grandma,
Mili and Dot could not help but feel a little nervous.
Mili took out all the clothes in her wardrobe and asked, "Mommy, which one would you like me to
wear?"
"Baby, you look good no matter which dress you wear." Essie smiled again. She was drawing a mask
on Dot's face.
Although her grandparents knew Dot's identity, they had to keep it a secret from others in the Rong
Mansion, including Zac's father, Albert. The kids were going to visit the Rong family today, not to get
reunited with them. The material she applied on the face was natural pigment, thus it wouldn't hurt
Dot's tender skin. She was just worried that her drawing might be faded with the water.
"When you arrive at your great grandpa's house. Be careful and don't say anything wrong," Essie
warned.
"Don't worry, Mommy. We will be careful." Mili raised her little palm and promised her.
In the Rong Mansion, the servants got up early in the morning and prepared a table of fruit and
desserts according to the old lady's instruction. The breakfast tea and lunch menu were also personally
listed by herself.
Zac was called back by the old lady last night. When he saw that they were laughing happily and
mystically refused to tell the reason, he was very confused.
The most strange thing was that his mom was sent away by his grandma the whole morning, as if she
was hiding something from her.
But, seeing the servant was busy preparing desserts and fruits, catching fish and catching shrimps, he
guessed that a guest would come, and it was also a distinguished guest.
"Grandma, who is coming today?" When he saw Alena coming in from the backyard, he quickly walked
up to her and asked.
Since it was about the time her great grandchildren were coming, she didn't want to lie to her grandson.
"Yes, it is Essie and the kids."
Zac was shocked. "You are in high spirits today because of them?"
"It's the first time for the children to visit our house. Of course I have to tell the servants to prepare
well," the old lady said with a smile.
"Including sending my mommy away from home?" Zac said as he raised his eyebrows.
"She scared the kids last time. The kids are still scary. Why don't I ask her to leave? We don't want to
let her spoil our good mood," Alena said with a sigh.
"You are so considerate." Zac nodded. If his mother was here, she would certainly give a hard time to
Essie. Then things would be out of control.
At the same time, Albert went downstairs with Rabi in his arms. Zac gave him a big kiss on his cheek
and said, "I'm going to tell you a good news. Mommy will bring brother and sister here later. Do you like
it, baby?"
"Really? That's great! " Rabi could not help but smile while clapping his hands.
When Essie and the children got out of the car, uncle Li had been waiting for them at the gate for a long
time. "Mrs. Rong, young master and little lady are here." Since the old lady had announced that Miss.
Yi was still the granddaughter in law of the Rong family, he had to call her Mrs. Rong instead.
"This is Grandpa Li," Essie turned to the kids and said.
"Hello, Grandpa Li," Mili and Dot greeted him sweetly.
"Hello, young master and Lady Mili," said uncle Li with a smile.
Seeing Essie and the kids, Zac felt a little complicated. He didn't expect that his grandma and grandpa
would ask them to come here.
It was also beyond Albert and the family of the third uncle's expectation. After all, the two children were
born by Essie and another man. Wasn't it a shame for Zac to take them back home?
But on second thought, it was a critical time. The Alice was on good terms with Fell. The Xu family
might ally with the Qin family by marriage at any time. The two elders must want to curry favor with
Essie and consolidate the relationship with the Xu clan. So they also went along consciously. After all,
the family interest was more important than anything else.
As soon as Mili and Dot saw Alena, they were shocked.
"Grandma, why are you here?" Mili opened her big eyes and asked in confusion.
"Mili, this is great grandma," Essie said.
"Great grandma?" Mili was startled. The old lady she saw in the park was just her great grandmother.
She knew nothing about it and talked to her a lot. Was she...
She turned around and looked at Dot. Dot was also very surprised, but he didn't show it. He looked
calm. If he guessed it right, his
great grandmother had already known who they were, so she asked them to come here today.
But judging from his dad's expression, he didn't know who they were. Presumably, great grandma was
going to keep the secret for them.
"Great grandma, great grandpa, good morning." He took Mili's hand, walked towards her and bowed to
her respectfully.
"Good kids." The two elders caressed the kids' heads dotingly. The old lady pointed at Albert and said,
"This grandfather. Go say hello to grandfather."
"Grandpa? Is he daddy's daddy?" Mili asked.
"Yes, it's daddy's daddy," the old lady said with a smile.
So the two kids went to Albert and saluted him. Then they greeted Allen and his family.
A trace of bewilderment flashed across Zac' eyes. He sensed that his grandma and grandpa had
something strange, but he couldn't tell what exactly it was.
When he was confused, the two children came to him.
"Daddy --" Mili called him in a sweet voice, which was extremely attractive.
Zac held her up and kissed her face lovingly. "My little princess, I thought you had ignored me."
"You are my daddy. I love you the most." Mili threw her arms around Zac's neck and rubbed his face
with her chubby little face.
Dot said indifferently, "Nice to meet you, uncle Rong." His tone was even more flat.
Zac was used to his cold demeanor. He smiled gently and asked, "Who are you pretending to be
today?"
"He played Monkey King," Mili said with a smile, "Mommy drew this face for him."
"Mommy did a great job." Zac smiled as he stretch out his hand to stroke his head. However, the little
boy stepped back and avoided it.
The two elders looked at each other. Now that the children all knew their origin, Dot's attitude to Zac
apparently had some issues in his heart.
The old man blinked his deep set eyes. His great grandson was just like his grandson when he was
young.
Zac withdrew his hand. He guessed that the little guy was angry with him because of what happened at
the Italian restaurant that day. "You have a bad temper, little guy," he smiled and said gently.
Dot squinted at him and said in a casual tone, "Uncle Rong, I know why you and Mommy got divorced."
Hearing that, the smile on Zac's face froze for a moment. "Why?" he asked.
"There are so many bad guys around you and you can do nothing. You will only make Mommy be
bullied by them." Dot criticized his dad. He was mad at his dad for what Mary had done to his mommy
last time.
Zac's mouth twitched a little, as if he was stabbed by a thorn. Last time, Mary beat Essie, he was
standing not far away. Because he was holding Rabi, he was unable to stop her in time. He was very
remorseful for that. Now Dot was labeled as 'incompetent', as if it was really salt on his wound.
"Kid, you looked down upon me." He laughed at himself.
"Last time, I gave you a low score as minus one hundred. This time, congratulations. You broke your
record and got a negative score of two hundred," Dot said seriously.
"Doesn't that mean I have no chance to turn over?" Zac shook his head and sighed. He tried to make
fun of the little guy, trying to ease the severity of his expression.
"It's difficult, judging by your performance," Dot said bluntly.
Mili looked at them. She was worried that her dad would be unhappy about Dot, so she immediately
explained, "Dad, don't mind that. Dot is very scary boy. He was scared by bad grandma." She looked
around the hall and asked, "Where's the bad grandma? Isn't she here?"
"Which bad grandma?" In fact, Albert had already vaguely guessed who she was referring to.
"It's daddy's Mommy. She is a very fierce and intimidating grandma. That day, my dad took us to an
Italian restaurant to have pizza. Suddenly, she broke in like a devil, rushed to my mom, beat her hard
and swollen her face. She also forbade my mommy to meet my daddy again. She even called us
bastards. We are not bastards! We have mommy and Daddy! "
Mili said, tears rolling down her cheeks. She said that on purpose. That day, her great grandmother
said that she would scold the bad grandmother. She was afraid that she would forget about it after she
returned, so she reminded her specially.
Abel frowned. A hint of anger flashed through his eyes. He said, "Mary is getting more and more
unreasonable."
"If she hadn't made a mistake, how could Zac and Essie end up like this?" Alena sighed.
Essie walked over and held Mili in her arm. "Honey, do you remember that Mommy told you to respect
the elders? You can't say that about your grandma. "
"Can an elder just hit and insult others as she like?" Mili looked at her with questioning eyes.
"When people are impulsive, it is inevitable for them to make mistakes. Perhaps she will know that she
was wrong in the future. You have to learn to forgive her, but not keep holding on to her mistake all the
time." Essie touched her head and said. Although Mary and her mother hated each other, she didn't
want to bury the seed of hatred in the children's hearts.
Mili pursed her lips and acted like an adult with her arms folded in front of her chest. She sighed, "Fine.
If the bad grandma can make a right decision, I will forgive her."
The little girl's words brought a smile on Abel's face. He said, "One of you is a calm and wise little boy,
and the other is very eloquent. They must be somebody when they grow up."
The old lady smiled and waved to the children. "Little baby, come to great grandma and great grandpa.
We will help you to deal with the people who your daddy have no way to deal with. From now on, no
one can bully my baby's Mommy."
"Yes." Mili nodded and trotted towards them, skipping along with Dot.
After the servant prepared the breakfast, they went to the dining room.
The table was full of Mili and Dot's favorite food.
Mili clapped her hands. "That's good. I like it when the family are eating together."
"Uncle Rong is not our family." Dot continued, "He has married to someone else, and they'll have their
own children. Mommy and daddy Hanson will also get married. We'll be two family from now
on."
