The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2187

When Rosalynn arrived at the scene, Ivy was in the middle of telling a joke, making Hilaria double over with laughter, her eyes nearly squeezed shut from merriment.

From behind her back, Hilaria produced a small box and handed it to Ivy.

Ivy opened it to find yet another diamond necklace sparkling before her eyes.

"Grandma..." Rosalynn sighed with a blend of frustration and affection.b2

"This year, I've only given this one diamond necklace; I've been very restrained!" Hilaria declared with pride. "Besides, our Ivy is all grown up. What's wrong with having another necklace, right?"

"Right," Ivy agreed, then began to speak for her mother, "But Great-Grandma, Mom does have a point. We really shouldn't get any more. What if I get spoiled?"

"What's the harm in that?" Hilaria cooed, her face radiating with adoration. "I will get anything you like, no matter the cost!"

Rosalynn shook her head in silent resignation.

Dinner was exceptionally joyful, thanks to Ivy’s presence.

Even Hilaria, who had been off her food lately, managed to eat more.

Seeing how happy Ivy made her, Rosalynn decided to let Ivy stay with her great-grandmother for the night, an arrangement Ivy was more than happy with. She even picked out a storybook, claiming she was going to read a bedtime story to her great-grandmother.

Watching they disappear down the hallway, Paige nudged Rosalynn with her shoulder and said, "Ever since Ivy's visit with her father, she's visibly perked up. It's a genuine change, not like the forced cheer we saw before."

Rosalynn nodded in agreement.

"The real question is whether her grades will improve. At the last parent-teacher conference, they mentioned she's slipped quite a bit compared to last year."

"Well, Liam used to keep an eye on that."

"How's Liam doing?" Paige inquired.
