315 According To Her Way (2/2)
Old Madam Liu smiled and told her, ”Don't get too worked up, dear. I'm simply stating the truth.”
Zach had actually thought about it while he was driving before. He would soon retire from the military and manage the ranch business. He already had this plan even before he knew he was a Liu.
But Josh was already doing well with the ranch, and in fact, he could understand where Old Madam Liu was coming from. It had also been his dilemma before.
He did not want Keira and her family to receive a backlash because of him. He knew Keira and her family did not care about superficial things like that, but not everyone was like them. He did not see the harm in accepting Old Madam Liu's offer. As the old madam said, she simply stated the fact of how most people in the upper society think.
He let out a long sigh and said, ”I understand it well, and I will try to do it as you requested.”
Keira pouted her lips but did not say anything. She trusted all of his decisions, and she would support him and be with him no matter what.
She caught a glimpse of a wicked smile on Old Madam Liu's face. She mused, 'Hmm, she looks so happy now that things are going her way.'
Old Madam Liu looked at her and said, ”Keira, please call me Grandma too, like Thea… Let's get along well, shall we?”
Keira smiled back and answered, ”Alright, Grandma… Of course, we should get along well. As long as you don't have anything bad up your sleeve.”
Old Madam Liu gulped and gave her a half-smile as she defensively said, ”Of course not, dear. Why on earth would you think that? I only want my grandson to have his right… Is that considered bad?”
Old Madam Liu had a point there, but then Keira could smell something fishy...
”Oh, I heard you are carrying twins! I can't wait to see all of my great-grandchildren in the future. I hope I'm still here by then…” Old Madam Liu sighed. She abruptly changed the topic because of Keira's scrutinizing look.
Zach answered and said, ”Of course, Grandma. You will see your great-grandchildren. You have to take care of your health well… Don't worry, Keira and Thea will take care of you.”
Keira's eyes rounded as she pinched Zach's side and mouthed, 'Me?'
Zach laughed and nodded. Old Madam Liu naturally chuckled too, seeing the couple banter. 'So this was the feeling when you smile and laugh genuinely? It's not bad at all... It feels great,' She thought to herself.
