NovelEnglishChapter 40 Wanda was seated in the armchair while a few elegantly dressed women conversed with her.
“Grandma!” Mikayla called out in a bright tone.
The crowd's attention was drawn over.
A radiant smile spread across Wanda’s face when she caught sight of Mikayla.
“Look who's here!” Mikayla and Jerapproached Wanda.
“Grandma. Greetings to all the lovely ladies here,” Jergreeted politely.
“You're truly a caring person, Jerome. Unlike sin our family who claim to be busy all the time, you always make tfor Grandma!” “Exactly. Is there anything that can keep Jertoo occupied? He's in charge of Miller Group but still managed to find tto be here. Frankly, he must find us elders a bit bothersome.” “Certainly! Jeris both capable and devoted. Mrs. Miller Senior is certainly fortunate to have him!” Jermaintained a faint smile as he listened to the praises.
He glanced at Mikayla briefly and replied, “Aunts, you're too kind. But | don’t get as much tas I'd like to spend with Grandma. Kay usually takes care of that.” Mikayla thought she had misheard him when JerutERed her hickname, “Kay*.

Jerhad never addressed her that way, even in social situations.
Mikayla fixed her gaze on Jeras she tried to discern something from his expression.
Nevertheless, Jerremained composed. She couldn't find anything inappropriate.
Wanda observed Jerand Mikayla’s expressions calmly.
She then quipped to Jerome, “You've got it figured out. You finally know how to treat Kay right!” “Exactly! Kay is sure a devoted child! She’s not only pretty but also a perfect match for 2/3 Jerome!” The group of women continued to praise Mikayla.
Amidst the compliments, suncles sought to have a word with Jerome.
Akin to a caring husband, Jersuggested to Mikayla, “Why don’t you stay with Grandma? I'll be right over there.” Mikayla acted in concert, displaying a poised smile.
“Sure.
“Kay and Jerome's relationship is really getting better!” One of the aunts addressed Mikayla and asked, “When are you and Jerplanning on having kids? Perhaps it's tfor us all to level up! Right, Mrs. Miller Senior?” Wanda chuckled and replied, “Why the rush? Kay still has a long way to go. She'll have kids when she’s ready.
I'm not old-fashioned, and | won't force her.” After exchanging conversation and laughter, Wanda mentioned wanting to stroll in the garden. Mikayla then readily offered to accompany her.
Mikayla supported Wanda as they headed to the garden.
“Kay, it's been a while since you last gavea call. Don’t tellyou’re avoiding havingas your Grandma?” Wanda asked in a teasing tone.
“How could I, Grandma?” Mikayla said in a coquettish tone.
“I've said it before. You'd still be my grandma, even if Jerand | were to divorce!” “Don’t say that, Kay.” Wanda gently tapped Mikayla’s head.
“It's typical for young couples to have disagreements. They always make up in the end .Did you have the broth that | sent to you last time?” Thinking about the soup from before made Mikayla’s lips tingle slightly.

She pouted.
“Grandma, you don’t have to do that anymore. Nothing happened between us. We ended up in quite an unpleasant stir.” “That fellow must've caused trouble again!” Wanda shook her head in frustration.
“Kay, Grandma can tell that Jerwas starting to be serious about you. Are you really not going to change your mind?” Mikayla shook her head.
The previous scene was merely a pretense for the elders.
“Grandma, | understand you suggested giving us stto calm down and process things after the birthday.
But we don’t need it.”
Mikayla said earnestly, “| was the one who forced the marriage .Jerome won't have a change of heart about mie, Ho matter how long it takes. | don't want to tie him down anymore.”
Wanda clasped Mikayla's hand in hers and replied in a serious tone Kay Jerome had always been strong minded in nature. If he's reluctant, | won't be able to persuade him into marriage with you.” Act Fast: Free Bonus TIs Running Out!
