Starting with A Divorce

Chapter 629 Odd Behavior

It was New Year’s Eve. This time last year, she was busy abroad, and her grandfather had flown over to celebrate the holidays and spend New Year’s Eve with her.

However, this year, she would be spending her New Year’s Eve at the police station while her grandfather was still unconscious.

Meanwhile, it did not take long for Ainsley and Matteo to arrive at the Easton residence. Harold and Robyn wasted no time in opening the door and greeted them early.

Robyn rolled her eyes at Ainsley the moment the latter got out of the car. Ainsley pretended not to see this and greeted courteously, ’Happy New Year’s Eve, Mr. and Mrs. Easton.”

Just as Robyn was about to speak, Harold hurriedly stepped forward to block her view, then reached for Ainsley’s hand as he said gently, ‘It’s been a while since you came to visit. Has this punk been taking good care of you?”

Ainsley’s heart warmed at this. She knew Harold cared for her very much. “I’m fine, Mr. Easton. Matteo has been very kind to me.”

Robyn was trailing behind them when she overheard this and said sarcastically, “Yes, we can tell he’s been kind to you, so much so that he moved to a new place I don’t even know about!”

“The kid’s all grown up. He can make his own decisions, and we shouldn’t interfere too much,” Harold pointed out with a chuckle.

Robyn glared at him angrily. “I only wanted to be able to visit them in my free time and check up on them. I mean, honestly, shouldn’t parents at least know where their children are living?’

Matteo sneered, “As if you don’t know, Mom.”

Ainsley scoffed inwardly. This woman’s just playing dumb. If she truly doesn’t know where we live, then how does she keep sending gifts over to the house?

Robyn shot Matteo a dark look but made no response.

Even though it was supposedly a simple family lunch, Ainsley was surprised to find that a feast had been laid out on the table. There were more than a dozen fancy dishes; it was too much food for the four of them.

“Mr. and Mrs. Easton, I didn’t think you’d prepare enough food for an army!” Ainsley remarked after Harold invited her to take a seat. Matteo sat down next to her.
