Chapter 1156

Although they were not blood-related, Margaret had raised Ralph as her own for many years, so it was difficult for her to cut him loose.

"Grandma, it’s not up to me but him.He still hasn’t thought it through and refused to return home.Let’s discuss it when he does, okay?"

He added, "It’s time for me to go to the office.Have a good rest, Grandma."

Lily came in, bringing the food as he was about to leave.

"Please take care of her." He said and left.

Lily did not hear what they were talking about but could have guessed it.

"Grandma, you must be hungry.Have some garlic bread and mushroom cream soup, but eat slowly."

Lily sat by the bed with the tray on her lap, dipped the bread into the soup, and offered it to Margaret.

Margaret wanted to take the whole plate instead.

"It’s okay.You’re pregnant.You don't have to serve me."

"Let me do it.I’m still early in my pregnancy, so don’t worry." Lily said with a chuckle.

"Stop insisting.I'll laze around when you feel better, okay?"

Margaret stopped insisting and let Lily feed her the slice of bread.

Margaret looked at her granddaughter-in-law smilingly.

After experiencing an upheaval, she changed her mindset so much that her gaze was different now.

‘I couldn't stand the sight of her before this, but now she’s become a sight for sore eyes"

‘Her face looks like a peeled egg.This young woman has perfect, smooth skin without any pockmarks or birthmarks.Even if she is pregnant, she still has a great figure, and we can’t tell she's even carrying a baby when one looks at her from behind"

Lily’s eyelashes naturally unfurled as she looked down at the soup.

‘ She’s so beautiful.No wonder Alex likes her and listens to everything she says"

"Grandma, open your mouth."

Lily tried to feed Margaret and noticed her staring unblinkingly.

"Do I have something on my face?"

Margaret gave Lily such a strange gaze that Lily wondered if her face was dirty.

"No.I wondered why I didn’t realize you’ve been such a good granddaughter-in-law.I shouldn't have made things difficult for you."

Margaret sounded regretful.

Stunned for a moment, Lily shook her head smilingly.

"No, you weren’t making things difficult for me.I only considered it as a test you had for me."

The fact was that Margaret had never made Lily’s life miserable.

Indeed, she spoke unkindly and put on airs, but as Lily never gave in, she did not suffer much with Alexander on her side.

Instead, it was Margaret who was upset by her.

Therefore, now that it was over, Lily had gradually put it behind her without holding a grudge.

"You're such a kind-hearted girl.Alex is a lucky man."

Margaret revealed a smile, which faltered as she thought about something.

"Too bad Ralph is not as lucky."

She sighed heavily.

‘Ralph.."

Thinking about that day, Lily said, "Don’t be too negative.From what I saw, Ms.Riggs cares about him.Perhaps she would be there for him in times of need."
