Chapter 1834 Moving Back In Bella felt a tinge of regret as her cunning cousin had managed to outmaneuver her, leaving her reluctantly seated across from Elisa.
Julia, observing the scene with amusement, couldn't help but chuckle. In her younger days, she had been strict about maintaining silence during meals. However, now that she was older and cherished the moments spent with her grandchildren, she didn't mind a bit of chatter and laughter at the table.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJulia began asking Bella about her recent life, and Bella playfully responded, "I'm doing fine these days. I just hope | haven't caused trouble for my boss, Elisa." Julia then turned her attention to Elisa with a playful smile, saying, "And how about you, Elisa? Or should | say, Ms. Benett? Has Bella caused you any trouble?" Caught off guard by the sudden question, Elisa almost choked on her food. She quickly turned in the other direction and coughed to compose herself.
Concerned, Julia immediately instructed the maid, Maria, to bring a glass of water. Maria hurriedly brought the water, and Gareth promptly put down his chopsticks, taking the towel to gently pat Elisa's back, showing his concern and care.
Struggling to stop herself from coughing, Elisa said, "I'm fine... just choked... a little..." Gareth's expression remained stern, but there was also a touch of worry in his eyes. "Take your twith chewing, don't gobble down the food like a little kid." His words carried a mixture of reprimand and protectiveness.
Elisa took a moment to compose herself, gently using a towel to dab at the corners of her mouth. As she met the concerned gazes of Julia and Bella, she shook her head reassuringly, saying, "I'm fine." Feeling apologetic, Julia said solemnly, "It's my fault for joking with you like that during the meal.” Elisa waved her hand to reassure her. "It's okay, Grandma. | just ate too quickly." Relieved, Julia asked Gareth to serve more food to Elisa, who wanted to decline but didn't want to seem impolite, so she picked up the chopsticks again.
Clearing his throat, Gareth changed the topic. "Elisa, why don't you tell Grandma how Bella is doing in your company?" Taking the cue, Elisa shared excitedly, "Grandma, you might not know yet, but Bella has been promoted to the head of the project department in my company.” "Really? That's great!" Julia beamed with admiration at Bella's achievements.
Graciously accepting the praise, Bella humbly explained that she hadn't mentioned it earlier because she was still in the probationary period. However, she realized that assuming she wouldn't pass the probation would have significantly affected her confidence.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPleased with the achievements of the younger generation, Julia smiled and enjoyed the dinner. After finishing the meal, the maid brought in sfruits.
Suddenly, Julia inquired, "By the way, have you moved your things back?" Bella nodded, "Yes, they are right outside. They can start bringing them upstairs one by one. The only thing is, | don't know which room I'll be staying in." The maid, Maria, took over the conversation. "Miss, all the rooms are cleaned and ready. Why don't you all chat while | bring the workers upstairs?” Bella thanked Maria, and they continued their conversation.
A pang of realization hit Elisa as she sensed that Julia had a hidden agenda when mentioning the topic of moving in all of a sudden.
As expected, the comers of Julia's mouth lifted as she directed her next words toward Elisa, "Letpropose this idea: why don't you and Garry move in as well? The house can accommodate all of you. With more people, you can take care of each other.
Besides, you and Bell can go to work together in the morning. What do you think?" Although Julia phrased it as seeking Elisa's opinion, it was apparent that she didn't expect her to refuse.
