Chapter 1040: 277: Family Portrait, the Capital City is about to change!_2

"Alright."

Mrs. Thompson couldn't help but think of the past, laughing as she said, "Your grandfather, not only was he handsome, but he was also a great hero!"

Viola was also familiar with stories about Old Master Thompson.

After all, the elder was buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery.

"So, Viola, let me tell you, a man should either use his fists to fight for the world or protect his family, but never to hit a woman!" Speaking to this point, Mrs. Thompson's face was full of a proud and coquettish expression. "Not to boast, but when I was with your grandfather, he never even touched a single finger of mine!"

Mrs. Thompson hated men who hit women the most.

Especially domestic violence!

It was simply intolerable!

"So, did grandfather have no flaws in your eyes?" Viola asked.

"That's not it," Mrs. Thompson continued, "Nobody is perfect. Everyone has flaws. Your grandfather's biggest flaw was that he was too charming. He would attract the attention of many girls wherever he went. In those days, without WhatsApp or QQ, they would ask your grandfather for his home address. Why would they want his home address? To write him letters!"

When thinking about the past, it seems as if it had only happened yesterday, but it's been over a dozen years since then.

"But fortunately, your grandfather was not a fickle man. Of course, the most important reason was that I, your grandmother, was charming and beautiful! Do you know how pretty I was when I was young?" Mrs. Thompson said with an air of conceit.

Viola laughed and said, "Did you look like a fairy?"

"Absolutely! Otherwise, would your grandfather be willing to abandon a whole garden for me?"

As the grandmother and granddaughter laughed and chatted, footsteps were heard from outside the door.

It was Jayden Thompson and his wife, Penny Kalafatis.

"Mom."

"Penny, here you are." The bottom of Mrs. Thompson's eyes could only ever see her daughter-in-law.

"Good morning, uncle and aunt."

Viola got up and politely greeted them.

Penny liked her well-mannered and beautiful niece very much, smiling and saying, "Good morning, Viola! You really worked hard last night!"

Nowadays, few young people are willing to stay in the hospital to care for the elderly all night.

Especially someone like Viola who had just undergone surgery.

It appeared that Viola was not only beautiful, but also very filial.

Not only Elena Williams.

Now even Penny had the idea to have a daughter.

"No trouble at all." Viola responded with a shallow smile.

After all, the person who stayed up all night looking after Mrs. Thompson was not her.

Penny took out some dumplings she had made in the morning and smiled at Mrs. Thompson, "Mom, I made some dumplings for you. They're still hot!"

She truly regarded Mrs. Thompson as her own mother.

Back when she first met Jayden, due to their large differences in status, she once thought that Mrs. Thompson would become an obstacle between them.

It turned out that Mrs. Thompson not only did not become an obstacle, but instead became their strongest support.

Since then, Penny realized what real aristocracy is.

Real aristocrats have an innate dignity, they don't classify people into different hierarchies, and they don't look down on people.

"We have dumplings? I've been hungry for a while, let's bring them over." Mrs. Thompson said eagerly.

Penny opened the lid of the thermal container, ladling out a bowl of dumplings for Mrs. Thompson. Then, looking at Viola, she said, "Viola, I made some extra for you. You should have some too?"

"Thank you, auntie, but I can only eat half a bowl."

"Half a bowl isn't enough! Better eat a whole bowl! Trust me, you won't gain weight."

Although Viola was already full, she couldn't refuse such a kind offer, so she accepted the dumplings Penny handed over and ate them all.

Just as Mrs. Thompson was eating her second bowl of dumplings, Terrence returned carrying takeout boxes, "Grandma, I bought the dumplings for you."

As he entered the house, he just paused for a moment, and then, with his impeccable composure, he greeted them, "Uncle, Aunt."

Such a pleasant voice.

Quick reflexes as well.

If it were an ordinary young man, they would surely be awkward and nervous, not knowing what to do.

But Terrence was not. He always maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

He did not look like a good-for-nothing at all, as he was rumored to be. Jayden looked at Terrence, deep in thought.

If Terrence really was a good-for-nothing, could he have gotten Nathaniel Besian to be his doctor?

Jayden nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Terrence, you're up early."

Was it really still early?

Running around to buy dumplings for Mrs. Thompson, it was almost ten o'clock now.

Jayden was deliberately twisting things.
