Chapter 164

"Between you and Luther, I see that you've been getting along quite

well lately." Stephanie suddenly said, "I've watched Luther fall for you,

and if you change your mind, I can help you."

Joyce froze and quickly denied it, "No, obviously not. Grandma, don't

think too much about it. He has Charlotte and is about to give you a

grandson. If I can't be your granddaughter-in-law, I can be your

goddaughter.”

"Huh." Stephanie laughed meaningfully.

She could feel the changes in the way Luther looked at Joyce.

Whenever Luther was with her, he would always ask about Joyce.

When Joyce was at home, he would always look at her. When Joyce

was not at home though, even though he was at home, his heart was

not. Of course, she saw all of it.

"Joyce, tell me about your past. I'm curious.” Stephanie asked with a

gentle look.

“I've told you about how I grew up in an orphanage and went to college.

I've told you all about the first aid volunteer training." Joyce sat up next

to Stephanie and leaned on her shoulder.

"I like to hear about your past. Do you have any hobbies? Tell me all

about them." Stephanie took Joyce's hand and caressed the back of

Joyce's hand with a relaxed look.

"Hmm." Joyce thought for a moment, “I grew up loving to shoot. When I

was young, I used to be good at slingshotting those bad kids, and

although we were all orphans, no one around dared to bully us. Then

after school, my talents were discovered by the school and I was sent

to learn to shoot. I once won the championship in the 50m pistol junior

competition, and then gave up shooting for some reasons." She has

never told anyone about her shooting past, and when she told her

grandmother today, she only told the general story, leaving out the

Justin part.

"Pistol shooting?!" Stephanie shuddered slightly. Just suddenly she got

a strange feeling, but she didn’t know what could be wrong. This hobby

was really quite special. She could not see that Joyce was even a

marksman.

After the two made small talk for a while.

Joyce looked up at the Western clock in the living room and stood up,

"Grandma, it's time for me to go to work.”

Oddly enough, she didn't have to work today, but Casey still called her

to come over, knowing that these matters could be handled on Monday.

"Hmm." Stephanie knew in her heart that she was the one who had

asked Casey to arrange for Joyce to come back today.

Joyce looked around and wondered, "Strange, why don't I see Mr.

Arnold today?"

“I'll give him two days off." Stephanie said, "It's okay, you go to work.

Mr. Arnold had the meal all ready when he left in the morning.”

"Oh, I'll be done working by 5 p.m. I'll buy groceries and come back to

make you dinner. How about we make your favorite snowflake beef?"

Joyce smiled sweetly.

"Good, good." Stephanie's smile widened.

“Let's go." Joyce took her coat and got up to leave.

Before going out, she noticed that the parlor was neatly lined with a full

set of tea equipment.

Like, she was going to have guests at home today?

She glanced back at Stephanie, and it was then that she noticed that

Stephanie was dressed rather formally today.

For a long time, Stephanie lingered on her death bed, wearing a white

tunic that could be easily changed every day.

Today, however, Stephanie had changed into a loose and comfortable

dress, and her hair had been carefully combed. Apparently, Stephanie

was about to meet guests today.

Joyce frowned slightly. Stephanie even gave Mr. Arnold days off. Who

could she want to see? However, it was her grandmother's personal

business, so she couldn't ask too many questions. She changed her

shoes and left the Warner family.
