Ivy looked at Wayne in complete shock.

“Do you get along well with your grandma?” Ivy asked Wayne while eating.
Wayne stared ahead and was silent for a moment: “She was very strict with me.”
Ivy nodded.
So that’s why he’s never had ice cream even at this age?
“But she gave me everything she could,” Wayne looked back at his daughter, “So, she’s a good person.”

into her ice cream, “I hope Granny Hilaria never dies, or else I’ll never see her again, and I’ll be really scared.”

She saw that black box for the first time, and her godmother said that her dad’s grandma was inside.
But she had seen her great-grandmother before, and although thin, she was a big grown-up. How could such a
small box fit such a big person?

small box is the deceased’s home.
“Ivy, do you miss Granny Hilaria?” Wayne asked gently.

“Ivy, it’s not like that.” Wayne looked at her seriously, more serious than his usual gentle demeanor, “Granny Hilaria
loves you very much, right?”
Ivy nodded.
“If she’s really sad now, seeing you won’t make her feel bothered, but rather, it will make her happier to see
someone she loves.”
“Really?”
“Of course!” Wayne said confidently.
Then he took out his phone,
And texted Hilaria, “Mrs. Jared, Ivy misses you. Can she video call you now?”

Hilaria initiated a video call.
“See?” Wayne said proudly to Ivy, lifting his chin, and then answered the call.
“Ivy!” Before Ivy could react, Hilaria’s voice came through.

“Granny Hilaria…” she called out.
Seeing Ivy’s pitiful look on the video, Hilaria felt heartbroken, “Oh dear, what happened to my baby? Did your dad
bully you?”
Wayne was at a loss for words.
Ivy shook her head and then smiled with teary eyes, raising her ice cream, “We’re eating ice cream at the
convenience store.”
Hilaria sharply looked at Wayne, “You sneaked her out for ice cream, does her mom know?”
“It’s her mom who asked him to take me,” Ivy quickly said, “Granny Hilaria, I got caught in the rain today, got a
fever, so mom let me have ice
cream.”
“You have a lever?” Hilaria was worried, “How are you now? Did you take any medicine?”
“I’ve taken medicine, there’s still a little bit of fever left, but it’ll be gone after I finish the ice cream!” Ivy said
confidently.
