Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1119

"If even she liked him so much, it shows that Sebastian truly had something extraordinary about him.

If someone like your grandmother could be fooled, it's no surprise that you were taken in at such a young age.

Who would have thought he'd bring your father's mistress's daughter home, causing your grandmother to suffer such a terrible tragedy?

Truly... who could have ever predicted that?"

The mention of this incident left both the older and younger woman feeling somber.

Lillian forced herself to steady her emotions and gracefully changed the subject. "Beatrice, let's not talk about these unhappy things.

You haven't been back in years. You should stay longer this time."

Beatrice smiled. "Yes, there are many opportunities here now, and both of my grandsons are planning to return to develop their careers.

Their parents are tied up with the overseas business, so they had to drag my old bones back here."

Lillian smiled back. "With you holding down the fort, the family business will surely thrive."

Beatrice laughed joyously, then suddenly said, "By the way, do you still remember my two useless grandsons?

You used to play together all the time when you were little.

Your grandmother and I even joked about picking one of them for an arranged marriage with you."

Saying this, the old woman burst into hearty laughter.

Lillian had indeed heard such jokes in her childhood. However, they hadn't seen each other in years and all had their own life trajectories now. Even though Beatrice brought it up, she only treated it as a nostalgic joke meant to bring them closer, paying it no real mind.

Just then, two men around Lillian's age walked out of the main hall.

They were tall, incredibly fit, and dressed impeccably. Despite the years, they still looked much like their teenage selves, just with a more mature, refined aura.

As he spoke, he intentionally thrust his face toward her, as if afraid she couldn't see his features clearly.

Lillian chuckled and nodded. "Yes, very handsome."

The second young master of the Winthrop family indeed had striking looks and undeniable charm.

Getting Lillian's personal confirmation, Miles immediately looked at his grandmother. "Did you hear that, Grandma? Lillian admits I'm handsome."

Beatrice's expression shifted slightly before she quickly regained her composure and laughed. "Alright, look how old you are, still acting like a mischievous pup.

So what if you look good? Can good looks feed you? Enough now, hurry up and invite your dear friend inside. We can't keep people standing out here talking."

With that, the old woman personally led Lillian inside.

Just before walking through the door, however, she shot Miles a subtle, warning glare.
