"Hi, Aleigha." Charlotte's eyes were full of smiles when she saw Aleigha.
"Hi, Grandaunt, Grandpa and Dad."
This was the first time Aleigha had called Marcos Dad after her rebirth. She didn't want to, but she had no other choice.
Marcos was obviously a little uncomfortable after hearing that. He smiled awkwardly and turned to go upstairs.
"Dad, when I was sleeping just now, I seemed to hear Aunt Lainey quarreling with Emilia. I wonder if I was hallucinating.
"Emilia seemed to be crying, and she kept saying the word disgusting."
Aleigha looked at Marcos innocently and yawned on purpose.
"I see. I'll go ask them." Marcos said unhappily and hurried up the stairs.
As soon as he went upstairs, Aleigha ran to Dustin and Charlotte in a hurry.
"Grandpa, you seem to be really happy today. So does Grandaunt. What's the deal?"
Aleigha liked Charlotte from the bottom of her heart. But every time she faced Dustin, she felt constrained.
Still, she played innocent in Dustin's presence. She couldn't go back to being pushed around like she was in her last life.
"Your grandpa met some old friends today. The Xiaos said that they would bring Adrian here after a few days."
What?
Aleigha was a little flustered, so she said immediately, "I'm too busy studying now, and I don't think Adrian and I need to meet so soon. I want to spend more time with you guys."
As she said this, she leaned on Dustin like a spoiled child. "Grandpa, what do you think? Shouldn't I spend more time with you?"
Dustin was amused. His granddaughter was really adorable! His guilt about her made him move on.
It was not that the more you gave, the more you would get.
Aleigha was a good child. She had gone through a lot, but she didn't turn into a monster.
He appreciated that.
"B*tch, look at this mess!"
The angry roar of Marcos sounded from the second floor, and the three people downstairs looked up the stairs.
There was a loud slam of the door, and Marcos practically dragged Lainey out by her hair.
Behind them was Emilia, whose face was streaked with tears.
Seeing this, Aleigha didn't feel happy at all. It was not enough.
The same thing had also happened to her mom. At that time, she, a little kid, followed them with tears.
Then she was sent to the countryside. When she left, she saw Lainey's proud look and Emilia's mocking smile.
She didn't understand. Her mom was Marcos's legitimate wife. Why did he thrown them out of the Gardner family?
Why could Lainey boss around her mother in the Gardner family? Why could Lainey and her daughter humiliate them unscrupulously when she wasn't even Marcos's wife?
All the pain Lainey and Emilia were being through wasn't enough yet.
"Dad, let go of Mom." Emilia caught up with them and tried to help Lainey.
The next second, Marcos loosened his hand and gave Emilia a good slap in the face.
