Rosalynn noticed Hilaria's dazed expression. She knew what was going through her mind.
"Granny Jared?" she called out softly.
Hilaria snapped out of her thoughts, a bit flustered, and accidentally knocked over the soup bowl in front of her.
"Oh my!"
Hilaria quickly stood up, and Rosalynn also got up to fetch a hot towel to wipe her hands.
"Why don't you be more careful? Fortunately, the soup had cooled down a bit, or you could have been burned," Rosalynn said as she handed Hilaria the towel.
Hilaria looked at Rosalynn, her eyes slightly teary. "Rosa, it would be so wonderful if I had a granddaughter like you."
Rosalynn smiled, her lowered eyes concealing the coldness deep within.
"You always talk about how outstanding Mrs. Adeline was. She must have raised an wonderful child as well," Rosalynn replied.
"That's for sure!" Hilaria nodded.
"Alright, let's stop talking about unpleasant things and have our meal. The dishes must have cooled down by now," Rosalynn changed the subject.
Hilaria didn't have much of an appetite during the meal, but Rosalynn enjoyed the food.
The chef at this hotel was truly skilled, and all the dishes suited her taste.
After dinner, Hilaria returned to her room feeling low-spirited, and Rosalynn went back to her own room.
Having eaten her fill, she could now focus on thinking about Talbot.
"The winter of 1985..."
Rosalynn muttered to herself. Had her grandparents completed their mission by then?
One thing she could be certain of was that Talbot was definitely not her grandparents' child.
"The R City..."
