My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 6

The Xavier family’s mansion was in Lake Bay.

The scenery around it was lovely, and it was a quiet place, typical of an area where the rich lived.

The servants respectfully led Adina and her two children into the courtyard.

“Addy, you’re finally back…”

Mdm. Xavier had been waiting at the entrance for a long time. When she saw Adina walking over, she felt as if she was looking at her deceased daughter.

Her pitiful daughter had lived a short life, and her pitiful granddaughter’s life was full of hardships…

“Grandmother…”

Adina rested her forehead on Mdm. Xavier’s shoulder and let herself feel a moment of peace.

If she had to name one other person besides her children whom she loved, it would be her grandmother.

She had lived in a small town abroad during the four years, and her grandmother had often sent people to persuade her to come back.

However, Adina knew that most of the Xaviers would not welcome her, which was why she delayed her return repeatedly.

“You must be Alden and Melody. Both of you are such good-looking children.”

Mdm. Xavier bent down and touched the children’s faces.

Alden smiled. “Great-grandma.”

Melody took a wary step back with an aloof expression on her pretty face.

Mdm. Xavier knew about the two children and their situation. She sighed and said, “I’ve already contacted a doctor. He’ll drop by and check on Melody a few days later.”

Adina did not actually harbor a lot of hope that her daughter would be cured, but she still nodded and led the children into the mansion.

The Xaviers were gathered in the living room.

They were in the main mansion, so all those who lived in it were direct descendants. Hence, they were all Adina’s uncles, aunts, and cousins.

“Mom, why did Grandma ask us to come here today?” Sophia Xavier asked impatiently.

She was a twenty-eight years old cousin of Adina, who had married and lived elsewhere, but grandmother had asked her to come back to the mansion.

The eldest aunt took a sip of her tea and said, “Your grandmother is already old. Since she asked us to come back so earnestly, I have a feeling it has something to do with her will.”

“Will?”

Sophia’s eyes sparkled.

She was married into another family, but she was summoned back to the main mansion. Did this mean that she would have a part of the Xaviers’ legacy?

She was not the only one who was excited. The other people in the living room started considering their positions in the family as well.
