Chapter 415
Ophelia couldn't help but laugh. She was exactly the same as before; where did she lose weight? Only the elderly, constantly worried at heart, would feel dissatisfied no matter what and feel sorry for her.
โGrandma, of course I ate well,โ she reassured.
โHow could it be? No one took good care of youโฆโ Helena choked up, tears welling.
Previously, she worried about the old man and the daughter-in-law who strongly rejected her granddaughter. She didn't dare inquire much about Opheliaโs life, always feeling that although Erin, the stepmother, was not good, at least Lia still had her biological father.
Who would have thought Samuel was such a heartless person? When Harriet was still alive, he was a well-praised good husband by everyone!
Over the years, the Whitaker family kept a low profile and rarely interacted with the community. As a result, there was little news about Ophelia, and only vague rumors mentioned that the Greene family's Ophelia was arrogant. Ophelia always assumed her own Lia was doing well; at least no one dared to make her unhappy.
Recently, after she carefully inquired, she almost cried her eyes out! Who would have thought that over the years, her Lia would have endured this? Raised by a stepmother, betrayed by a stepsister, ignored by Samuel! How much hardship did her Lia endure? Helena was completely overwhelmed by guilt!
โItโs all grandmaโs fault; how could grandma not come to see youโฆโ Tears finally fell.
Lenora hurried forward, and Ophelia took the handkerchief from her hand, gently wiping the old manโs tears.
โItโs okay, Grandma, I donโt blame you. It was also me being disobedient in the past.โ
Seeing her so sensible, Helena felt even more heartbroken. She touched her face and said, โIt wonโt happen again. Grandma will take you home, and weโll go home today!โ
Isabelleโs face suddenly changed. Lebelia go back? How is that possible! Ora used to ignore a lot of things, but this time she subconsciously glanced at her and, seeing her reaction, thought to herself, โJust as I suspected.โ
If he was truly a broad-minded and kind person, how could he possibly exclude Ophelia from returning to the Whitaker villa? He should feel guilty for taking Opheliaโs things for so many years!
Isabelleโs reaction clearly showed that she was afraid of Ophelia going back. Lenora looked at her for a few seconds before averting her gaze. Isabelleโs mind was in chaos; she didnโt notice at all.
Ophelia heard the old manโs words, paused for a moment, her heart softened, but she glanced at Freyaโs unpleasant expression, and in the end, she smiled and shook her head.
โNo, Grandma, donโt you know yet? I was already married now, so of course I have to live with my husband, otherwise he would be lonely!โ
She turned around and called out to Winford, โHusband!โ
Winford approached. He had a bad impression of the Whitaker family, but when he saw this old man who genuinely cared for his beloved wife, and whom his beloved wife also deeply cared for, his expression softened slightly.
As she called out, โGrandma, I am Winford.โ Helena then shifted her attention to Winford.
Winfordโs appearance and demeanor were unparalleled. No one could look at him and say they were not satisfied. Itโs just that his imposing presence was a bit intimidating.
Helena went to inquire about her granddaughterโs situation earlier and also heard rumors about Winford being away. She was initially very worried for her granddaughter, but upon recalling their first meeting, it was clear that Winford and Ophelia were holding hands and when he lowered his gaze to the girl beside him, the affection and doting in his expression were genuine.
