"Then next time when Grandpa goes on a business trip, I'll pick you up," Gloria smiled.
"You're so thoughtful, Gloria," the old lady was happy from deep down, and her smile was very real. Gloria kept the old lady in a warm and sweet conversation throughout the mealtime.
While Angela and Olivia, seated across from them, looked more like guests. Even though Angela tried repeatedly to explain what had happened last night, Karen kept her full attention on Gloria and never looked at her once. At the thought of the words of her parents telling her not to mention it anymore and to be generous, she held it back after a moment of hesitation.
It was not an enjoyable meal.
But Gloria enjoyed her conversation with Granny and was really full.
She had other things to do later, so she smiled at the old lady, "I need to go to work now, Granny. I'll come to visit you as soon as I get the time."
