The Xaviers’ mansion was in Lake Bay.
The scenery around it was lovely, and it was a quiet place, typical of an area where the rich lived.
The servants respectfully led Adina and her two children into the courtyard.
“Addy, you’re finally back…”
Madam Xavier had been waiting at the entrance for a long time. When she saw Adina walking over, she felt as if she was looking at her deceased daughter.
Her pitiful daughter had lived a short life, and her pitiful granddaughter’s life was full of hardships…
“Grandmother…”
Adina rested her forehead on Madam Xavier’s shoulder and let herself feel a moment of peace.
If she had to name one other person besides her children whom she loved, it would be her grandmother.
She had lived in a small town abroad during the four years, and her grandmother had often sent people to persuade her to come back.
However, Adina knew that most of the Xaviers would not welcome her, which was why she delayed her return repeatedly.
“You must be Alden and Melody. Both of you are such good-looking children.”
Madam Xavier bent down and touched the children’s faces.
Alden smiled. “Great-grandma.”
