The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 196

The courtyard, which used to be spotlessly cleaned by Grandma, is now overgrown with weeds.

Thankfully, Grandma gave away many beautiful plants to the neighbors before leaving.

Otherwise, they probably would have withered by now.

The grape trellis where the family used to cool off in summer is now decayed and broken, with withered grape vines.

Rosalynn opened the door and walked in.

Most of the furniture in the house is covered with white cloth.

Rosalynn stood at the door and took a glance.

Sure enough, every nook and cranny of the house held memories of their happy past.

She felt like crying.

A moment later, she enters her mother's bedroom.

In the nightstand beside the bed are her mom's belongings.

There are very few of her mother's things left.

Apart from some clothes and a few pieces of jewelry, the only thing left was a photo album.

Her grandfather loved taking photos, most of the pictures in the album were of the family on trips and outings.

When she left the house, Rosalynn wanted to take the album with her, but Grandma wouldn't allow it.

Rosalynn even went on a hunger strike for two days.

Finally, Grandma said, "This is what your mom loved. We're leaving, so we should leave something behind for her."

Throughout the night, Rosalynn wept, clutching the album tightly to her chest. With great care, she safeguarded it, placing it within the nightstand, before departing from home alongside her grandmother.

Now, Rosalynn retrieved the cherished album, handling it delicately. She tenderly brushed the surface, revealing faded doodles she had drawn as an innocent and naive child. Overwhelmed with emotion, she cautiously opened the album, tears welling in her eyes. Yet, as she began to flip through the pages, a mixture of laughter and tears fills the room, resonating with the depths of her heart.

The first photo was of her just after she was born. In the bottom right corner, Mom wrote, "My ugly baby."

Photo after photo, she looked through them.
