Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Great grandma, who is this Uncle?

Stella peeled apples for her grandmother and talk about her life abroad for the past six years. Especially, the time when she was in France when Adrian was still young...

Stella didn’t have the time to bring Adrian home and meet her grandmother. That’s why Her grandma only know that she had a child but he had never seen him or met him...

"Stella... He is so cute. I am sure he is the cutest child in the world..."

Grace looked at Adrian’s picture on Stella’s mobile and praised him.

But after thinking for a while, she asked from a heavy heart... "Stella, look child is already five years old... But you still didn’t tell me about who is child’s biological father..."

Stella’s hand, holding an apple paused...

Except for Emily, Stella had never talked with anyone about Adrian’s biological father, not even her grandmother...

Now they are already divorced and that man was about to get married to someone else... She felt like it was even more unnecessary...

Stella didn’t want to talk about him.

Stella knows that if she told her grandmother about RK and when she know that he was about to get married, she will feel sorry for her and Adrian...

She didn’t want to affect her grandmother or her life because of that man...

"Grandma Adrian’s biological father was no longer in this world," Stella said.

With this one sentence, she had blocked her grandmother all questions...

Grace hear this and sighed... "Ah! What a poor child. He didn’t have a father...since he was a child. What a poor child!"

But Grace is a very optimistic and board-minded woman so it will not take much time for her to recover her mood. "Well, it’s not a big deal... We will find a good stepfather for him. I think Rene is a good child, let him have more contact with Adrian..."

Stella don’t know what kind of charm that man of has, or if he had done some magic on her grandmother. Because her grandma loves to talk about him and wants to make him Adrian’s stepfather...

Stella felt like she must meet that man called "Rene" for sure.

"But it’s a pity that your mother is no longer here."

Grace looked at Adrian’s picture and said regretfully, "Stella, if your mother was still there, she must be very happy after having such a cute grandson."

Stella’s mother was not with her Since she was a child.

Stella heard from her father and grandmother that her mother was ill and had died after giving birth to her. Since she had lived with her father for so many years. Only after she had a "so-called sister" Sophia and stepmother, she becomes sensible from that moment.

"Grandma, it’s Ok. As long you are healthy it’s enough for me."

After Stella said, she put her head on Grace’s lap.

Grace looked at Stella on her lap and then at Adrian in the picture. Because Stella was in France and she had never let her come back because she didn’t want her to worry about her health, she had never seen Adrian before and only heard about him.

The whole afternoon passed like this quietly.

There is a knock on the door...

It was Emily who had taken Adrian to the hospital to see her Grandma.

Adrian was wearing a dark blue coat and had a red scarf around his neck. In his school dress, his small chubby face looked cuter...

Adrian carried a child’s school bag on his small shoulders and walked towards Stella with her small legs...

He looked at Stella with a confused look.

Stella rubbed her son’s fluffy little head and said, "Baby, she is mommy’s grandmother and your great-grandmother..."

"Baby call him, Great Grandma..."

Adrian hear her mother’s words and said, "Great Grandma..."

"Ahhh"

Grace hear his sweet little childish voice and her heart filled with sweetness.

She reached out and helped him to remove his school bag from his shoulders and said, "Adrian, took off your school bag, you must feel tired."

Adrian also cooperates with her and turns around to take off his school bag and said...

"Thank you, Great Grandma."

"Ahhh such a polite child. He is so cute."

Grace looked at Adrian from head to toe, while sitting on the hospital bed.

"Our Adrian is such a handsome child. Not only that, he had such a beautiful pair of blue eyes. Its look is beautiful. I am sure when he grows up, he will attract so many women."

Grace liked Adrian very much and kept praising him...

But when Stella heard this, she sneered...

"His father also attracts so many women and his son, also inherited this quietly from him.

Emily who stood at the side hear this and also smiled...

Grace saw this and said, " Stella your friend is so kind. She always visits me and takes care of me. You should not forget to thank her."

Stella nodded and said, "Of course, I know."

Emily followed Stella’s words and said, "Grandma, the one you should thank was not me but that gentleman who had taken care of you for the past six years..."

"You know him too." Stella looked at her in surprise.

"No... I don’t know him. But Grandma often talked about Rene. She said that he is a handsome, rich, and kind man. What’s more, he was just like you? He was also divorced and had a child before..."

Emily paused and looked at her with a teasing smile and said, "You two are a perfect match."

****

Stella heard this and looked at her "good friend" angrily. "So that’s the reason you kept introducing those men to me..."

When she was in France Emily introduced lots of blind dates to her. But every man she met was divorced or someone even had a child...

They are even from different races...

Only now she know the reason...

It was all her friend’s plan...

"Yes," Emily nodded.

Emily looked at her and continue, "I always believed that love should be fair. If you got married to someone who was not married before, then in the future there must be lots of quarrels and disagreements between you because of the imbalance in your life. I am doing all this for you..."

"Yes, Yes, ... Emily is right."

Grace looked at her and nodded, "Yes, you and Rene both are the same. In the future when you got married, everything should be balanced."

Emily also nodded in agreement.

Stella looked at them and become speechless.

"Do you also know Rene?" She asked.

"No, but Grandma often talked about him. But I had never seen him or know about him," Emily replied.

"Ohhh."

Now Stella wants to see that man more. Because of their words, she was even more curious to meet that man called "Rene."

Suddenly all of them talked about the blind date and that man, but they forget the little fellow who is sitting on the stool and looking at them.

Adrian looked at the three women in front of him in unhappiness. They are so lost in their talks that they forget about him.

It was like he was invisible.

All his light had been stolen by that man called Rene.

So he purposely makes his voice loud, "I am hungry. I want to eat."

Hearing a little childish voice, only now they remembered that there is still a child in the ward. Talking about proposing blind dates in front of a five-year-old child didn’t seem to be right. They also talk about stepfather, second marriage...

Grace hear his words and quickly took some fruit, biscuits, and milk from the table beside her and give it to Adrian.

She looked at him and said, "Adrian I am sorry. It’s my fault and I was not considerate enough. You eat this and tell me if you like it or not. If you don’t like it then I will be asked someone to buy something else for you."

Adrian looked at the food in his hand and pouted.

He doesn’t like it.

He likes snacks such as...

"Chat and Samosa..."

They are not many in France but they are lots in the country...

Grace looked at the food and said, "Stella all these fruits are bought by Rene. He is such a good child. Because he was afraid that I will don’t like the same kind of food for long, every time he come, he bring something different to eat."

Stella heard this and nodded. She knows what her grandmother means.

She loved to praise him...

Stella took out the apple from him peeled it and give it to him and said, "Baby, you eat this for now and drink some milk. After that, I will take you out to eat something tasty."

Adrian heard his mother’s words and nodded.

After that he took the apple from her hand and start to eat obediently, Grace is sitting beside him and looked at him lovingly.

He still didn’t swallow the first piece till when there is a knock on the door. It was three knocks and they are graceful. Not too fast or slow.

You can tell just from the way of knocking that, the other person is very polite and reliable.

Grace is hearing these knocks for so long, she can tell without opening the door who is the person outside the door.

She quickly stood up and said, "It must be Rene who come to see me after getting off work. "

After she finished speaking she quickly walked over to open the door. Stella also followed her grandma figure who went to open the door...

A suddenly familiar figure stood in front of her.

"RK?"

Why this man is here?

He was still wearing the same black suit and trousers in the morning. His black leather shoes are polished. His hair stood because of wax. But it made him look more elegant...

His blue eyes are like a deep sea. It was hard for anyone to know what he was thinking or his emotions.

His entire body is filled with the aura of a businessman. At this moment his clothes and temperament didn’t seem to fit this place...

Before Stella could even able to ask that d*mn man why he was following her to the hospital, he went inside and said...

Maybe because of his appearance, which was too attractive it was hard to ignore his presence and anyone can see him at a glance...

"Hello, Grandma. How are you?"

Stella is shocked...

He is here to see her grandmother...

How did he know about her grandmother?

Stella just stood beside Grace with a shocked expression.

Grace looked at the fruit and tonics in his hand and take it from him. She looked at him and said, "Why did you bring so many things for me? I am just so happy to see you, Rene..."

Rene?

He is the Rene, which her grandmother talked about.

It was not just a coincidence that they had the same name...

He is also the same person...

Stella doesn’t know what to say...

She felt like the world is too small.

She is the man whom her grandmother was talking about, the man who is also married before like her...

Stella felt it was too funny...

Six years ago with whom, she got divorced, and after six years her grandmother arranged a blind date with that man. What’s more, he was about to get married to another woman and had a child...

Grace made a way for him. It was like she is very happy to welcome him. "Rene, don’t stand at the door. Come in and sit down."

"Okay."

RK replied with a small smile on his face.

As he walked in, he paused and looked at Stella for a moment...

Grace took the things from RK’s hands and give them to Stella who was standing at the corner like a statue and said, "Stella help me put these things aside."

"Ohhh."

Stella took the things and looked at RK with a confused look.

Why did he know her grandmother and be friendly to her?

"Great Grandma, who is this Uncle?"

Adrian who was sitting on the small stool looked at him and asked.
