Chapter 18
“Mom, Dad, how did you come?”
Joanna looked at her daughter, who had become much thinner, and hugged her tightly. “Silly child, why are you crying?”
“No, I was just too happy.”
Isabella heard the voices of her grandparents, and she jumped up from the chair and quickly ran over to them, hugging their legs tightly.
Jeffrey scooped up the little dumpling and held it in his arms.
“Bella, did you miss your grandparents?”
“Thought, I thought a lot, thinking every day.” Isabella said while stroking her grandfather’s beard.
“Oh, then Bella said, let me tell you what she was thinking.”
Isabella lowered her head and thought carefully for a while.
“The rumbling in the stomach was thinking,” innocent words made several people burst into laughter, and all emotions vanished with the sound of laughter.
A few people entered the house, greeted Laurel at the table, and then took their seats.
Fortunately, the three of them didn’t measure the amount of food they cooked. They cooked a lot, and suddenly two more people joined and there was enough to eat.

Having eaten and drunk their fill, Joanna cautiously opened her mouth to ask..
“Grace, did Antonio also come over here?”
Grace was somewhat surprised: “How did you know?”
Joanna glanced at Jeffrey with embarrassment, and Jeffrey nodded in agreement. So Joanna continued to speak.
“Actually, it was him who brought us here this time.”
During the days when Antonio was absent, he was busy arranging for Jeffrey and Joanna to come and reunite with Grace.
At first, the old couple didn’t want to see him at all, but they couldn’t resist his persistent persuasion. Besides, they really missed their daughter, so they thought it would be good to come and see her. Otherwise, their Grace would be so lonely spending Christmas alone outside.
After persuading the two individuals, Antonio began busily helping them with their visa applications, searching for flights, and contacting the airlines.
Before takeoff, the driver was arranged to take them to the airport, and after landing, they personally drove to pick them up and only left after dropping them off at the entrance.
Although the two of them did not agree with him hurting their daughter again, they couldn’t help but feel guilty in their hearts about his busy arrangements this time.
Grace didn’t expect this situation, and for a moment, she stood there in a daze.
And the protagonist Antonio, as they referred to him.

Chapter 101
Now, a person is lying in the cold house next door, watching the hustle and bustle outside.
Apart from the pure white walls, there were only a few simple pieces of furniture in the house, making the entire place look empty and devoid of any liveliness.
Antonio half lay in bed, the Christmas music and laughter around him. Were con
out of sync.
They must be very happy now, Antonio thought.
He knew that Grace was a very homesick person, being in a foreign. country, she must have missed her parents a lot. So he tried to bring them. over and spend Christmas with her.
On Christmas Eve, there were originally no flights available. However, he made a great effort and paid a high price to purchase a flight route. On Christmas Eve, he brought her parents over, just to give her a surprise.
He didn’t expect to be able to save anything through these, but he just wanted to do it, thinking that Grace should be smiling at this moment, and he would be happy.
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, a knock on the door interrupted his train of thought.
He leaped out of bed, rushed downstairs in three steps, almost tripping down the stairs due to his haste.
Opening the door, a little dumpling appeared at the entrance, holding a plate of Christmas Cookies.
Isabella sweetly spoke, but her words petrified Antonio in place.
“Uncle Antonio, this is the Christmas Cookies my mom asked me to bring

to you, she said thank you for bringing my grandparents over.”
“Uncle?” Antonio exclaimed in shock.
Isabella nodded obediently, “My mom’s husband is my dad, you guys are divorced? So I call you Uncle Antonio.”
This remark almost made Laurel laugh to death, who was eavesdropping in the corner with unease. It also truly infuriated Antonio, but at least. there were Christmas Cookies in the box, and he couldn’t get angry in front of his daughter.
So Pi smiled and Rou didn’t smile, and they took on the Christmas Cookies, then turned and went into the house.
As soon as he entered the room, his face was all wrinkled up, and his mind was filled with “Uncle Antonio“. Antonio was directly filled with anger, frustration, and heartache, and he reluctantly ate the plate of Christmas Cookies with a face as pale as a pig’s liver.
Thinking about these Christmas cookies being made by Grace herself, made me a little happier.
Isabella came back after delivering the Christmas Cookies, bouncing and skipping into the kitchen to tell her that it had already been delivered.
Grace nodded, indicating that she understood.
While tidying up the kitchen, I threw the just–baked frozen Christmas Cookies packaging into the trash bin.
