Chapter 211

in finding my grandson, to begin with. Given how our attempts to search for him have been fruitless after so long, I’d say the chances of us finding him are little to none. Perhaps the clues I have were wrong all along. I’m done trying to look for him.”“But you’ve been searching for so long, Granny. Are you sure you want to give up now? Now that Xavier is helping you, you don’t even need to do anything!”Chuckling wryly, Jacinta responded, “That’s impossible. What if he finds someone who matches the criteria? Can you imagine how disappointing it’d be for me to go do a DNA test, only to find out that it’s not my grandson? Tell Xavier I’m done searching. Honestly, I had a sudden realization after hearing what you said. If you two are happy together, then how I feel about him doesn’t matter. It’s clear that fate does not want me to reunite with my grandson, so I shall give up on searching for him. If he is alive in this world, then I hope he will find a kind family to live with. You, on the other hand, should hurry up and have children with Xavier. If possible, I’d like to enjoy the companionship of my great-grandchildren while I’m still alive.”She made that sound so convincing that Winnie believed her readily.“Really? You don’t object to my relationship with Xavier anymore?” Winnie asked with a relieved smile.Jacinta held Winnie’s hand as she said, “Yeah, I have it all figured out now. There’s no point in me objecting if it ruins your happiness. The worst-case scenario is you getting hurt by Xavier, but I know you’re a tough and capable woman. Even if he does end up hurting you, I have faith that you’ll be able to rise stronger than before. You can count on me to always be on your side, Winnie. Instead of objecting to your relationship, I hereby give you my most sincere blessings.” “Thanks, Granny!” Winnie leaned forward and gave her a hug. “Xavier, too, wishes to receive your blessings.”“Of course I’d wish for your happiness, silly! Xavier must’ve been pretty upset when I expressed my dislike for him, huh? Have him come over for dinner someday. I’ll apologize to him in person.”“That won’t be necessary, Granny. He can’t possibly accept an apology from an elder like you. I’m just glad you’re okay with him now!” Winnie said with a bright smile.Jacinta decided to strike while the iron was hot and said, “Then go tell him to stop looking for my grandson. Think of it as an act of kindness from me to him.”Naturally, Winnie respected her decision. “All right. We’ll stop looking for him.”Jacinta nodded with a smile on her face.She had her reasons for wanting Xavier to stop the search, but giving up on her grandson wasn’t one of them.It was actually because she had already figured out her grandson’s true identity after reorganizing some of the memories buried deep within her head.I know Xavier has been onto me since the fire at the Fairchild residence. On top of that, he probably found out about me withdrawing money from the bank as well. Xavier might discover my secretive past if he continues the investigation. That would definitely spell disaster for me. I don’t think Winnie has ever suspected me, though. Xavier probably hasn’t told her anything. I should start treating him better so he’ll drop his suspicions toward me.Later that night, Winnie followed Jacinta’s instructions and invited Xavier over for dinner.Although Xavier found Jacinta’s sudden invitation a little unusual, her behavior toward him hadn’t changed all that much.Jacinta still maintained a somewhat cold attitude around him,
