Chapter 1438: Chapter 1444

Chapter 1444 I’m sorry for your mother When Amelia first met Jocelyn, she seemed lively. But this time, she noticed that Jocelyn had aged, with wrinkles on her face and gray hair at her temples.

As a mother who had lost her child in midlife, no matter how harsh and strict she was, the one she had lost was the child she had carried for ten months.

Amelia, feeling sympathy for Jocelyn, asked Grace, “Grace, do you agree?”

After hesitating for a moment while staring at the frail old lady outside the window, Grace nodded and said, “As long as you don’t force me to leave like you did earlier, then you can come to see me.”

Tears welled up in Jocelyn’s eyes as she heard this. “Child, don’t worry, I won’t be impulsive like that again…”

After humming in agreement, Grace turned her small body and reached for the snacks she had secretly hidden in the backseat storage compartment.

Amelia noticed and gently patted her bottom. “Grace, how many times have I told you that these snacks are unhealthy and can ruin your teeth? Why don’t you listen?”

Although her tone carried some reproach, her voice was gentle and warm.

Hearing this, Jocelyn remembered Aaron’s childhood. It seemed that she had never spoken to him in such a gentle tone before.

With these thoughts in mind, Jocelyn’s gaze shifted back to Amelia. “Since she doesn’t listen repeatedly, why don’t you just take away her snacks and throw them away?”

After stopping Grace, Amelia turned to look at the person outside the window. “When I was in the orphanage, because of my weak heart and frail body, I walked and ate very slowly. But the caregivers who took care of me never scolded me and always had patience. Maybe because of this, I can’t scold children either.”

Good environment could truly cultivate a gentle and virtuous person. Jocelyn gradually felt relieved.

“With Grace having a gentle aunt like you, she will definitely grow up to be a good girl.”

Amelia smiled but remained silent. Jocelyn continued, “Amelia, I want to entrust the Sherwood family and the Johnson family to her. Can I?”

Amelia, disagreeing with burdening a young child with family responsibilities, replied, “Let’s talk about it when she grows up.”

Jocelyn explained, “I mean when she grows up.”

Amelia said, “Then ask Grace herself when the time comes.”

She wouldn’t make any life choices for the child. Everything would be in her own hands.

James, sitting in the front, grew impatient and glanced back at her.

Amelia didn’t say much to Jocelyn anymore. “Jocelyn, it’s getting late. I’ll take the child back home first.”

Jocelyn said, “Okay,” but then seemed to remember something and said somewhat apologetically, “I’m sorry about your mother.”
