“Okay,” Troy answered.
Grace nodded and kept looking around, being very curious about New York City.
After leaving the terminal, Grace wriggled. “Let me down, Uncle Troy. I can walk on my own.” “Don’t need me? Didn’t you like me to hug you before?”
Grace shook her head in earnest and replied, “My coat is too thick, it’s uncomfortable for you.” Troy put her on the ground, took off the schoolbag, and stretched out his hand. “I’ll carry your schoolbag.”
Grace passed the schoolbag to Troy, held one of his fingers, and walked forward happily.
When got to the car, Troy opened the rear door, settled Grace down, and closed the door, then he walked to the other side and sat in.
Seeing someone sitting in the driver’s seat, Grace greeted with a warm smile, “Hello, uncle.” “Hi, Miss Grace,” the driver replied with a smile and turned his head.
“Let’s go,” Troy closed the car door.
The driver started the car and joked, “Mr. Marshall, what a coincidence, I think Miss Grace takes after you. If you didn’t tell it, others will think of Miss Grace as your daughter!”
Troy looked at Grace, who was looking around with her short legs dangling.
Looking carefully at Grace’s face, her eyebrows and eyes are indeed somewhat similar to his. And when Troy took a few more glances, he even found Grace somewhat took after Imogen. Troy couldn’t help chuckling.
He was really in a trance.
Aunt Emily once said that she adopted Grace from the orphanage.
How Tory hoped that Grace was his daughter, the daughter of Imogen and Troy.
Then, for the sake of the child, she might soften her heart a little, and maybe she wouldn’t get a divorce…
Grace was very curious about New York City. She lay by the edge of the window, staring at the street through the window, and would ask about any new things she saw.
“Wow, there’s a frogman!” Grace pointed at somewhere nearby and exclaimed.
Troy looked oyer, seeing there was someone wearing a frog costume next to a square, selling frog
balloons.
“That’s a frog costume,”
“Why did he dress up like that?” Grace kept lying beside the window and staring at the frog
costume.
“Because he wants to attract people and sell the frog balloons in his hand.”
Grace nodded clearly and looked elsewhere.
“Grace, we are heading to Marshall villa now, let’s visit your great–grandmother, Layla Marshall
first.”
“Okay!” Grace nodded emphatically.
“Aren’t you curious about Great–grandmother?”
“I know her!” Grace turned her head and said with a smile, “Mrs Layla Marshall is Grandma Emily’s mother.”
Looking at her expression, Troy suddenly thought of Mochi, just as cute as her.
When he learned that Imogen was pregnant, he had imagined that they would have a daughter as lovely as Grace.
But that was just fantasy after all.
Imogen would never forgive him.
He would have no more children.
He deserved it.
“Uncle Troy?” Grace stretched out her chubby hand and shook it in front of Troy, “Why are you silent?”
Troy came back to his senses and smiled faintly, “Sorry, I was thinking about something.” “Uncle Troy, I brought a gift for Great–grandma!” Grace hugged her little schoolbag tightly. “Grace is really sweet.”
Grace couldn’t wait to open her small schoolbag and took out a transparent box. It was a cartoon Pikachu, with a ring on it. It should be a key chain, “Look, Uncle Troy, this present is for you.”
“Thank you, Grace. It’s very cute.”
Troy took over the box and opened it, then took the car key from the storage box between the two front seats, hanging the Pikachu on it. “Look good?”
Grace nodded heavily, “It looks good!”
“By the way, do you live together with great–grandma, Uncle Troy?” Grace asked with her small face raised.
Troy shook his head, “We don’t live together. Great–grandma used to live with Great–grandpa. Not long ago, Great–grandpa passed away.”
“I heard about it from Grandma Emily. She cried and I comforted her.”
“Grace did a good job,” Troy praised.
Henry passed away suddenly, leaving not even a last goodbye to him.
Since Emily had missed the last goodbye with Henry, she didn’t come back for the funeral. And
may not come back till Christmas.

“Then Uncle Leo must live together with Aunt Agnes!” Grace looked at Troy and giggled.
Troy’s stiffened. “Grace, now they don’t live together.”
“Why? Husband and wife have to live together, just like Great–grandma and Great–grandpa,” Grace’s big eyes were full of doubts.
“Because Uncle Leo and Aunt Agnes divorced, do you know what divorce means, Grace? It means that Uncle Leo and Aunt Agnes are no longer husband and wife.”
A dazed expression appeared on Grace’s face, “Aunt Agnes is so beautiful, why did Uncle Leo divorce her? Is Uncle Leo going to marry another aunt?”
Grace referred to Sarah, she knew Sarah.

“No, Uncle Leo didn’t want to marry anyone else. He didn’t want to divorce Aunt Agnes, but Agnes
wanted to divorce him,”
“Really?” The little girl curled her lips with disbelief, “I don’t believe. Handsome men are always fickle,”
Troy was speechless.
“I am telling the truth.”
The little girl raised her eyelids and looked at Troy a few times, “Don’t trick me. I know everything. Grandma likes Aunt Sarah, not Aunt Agnes. And she said that you like another aunt.” Uh… how to explain it?
“Grace, your grandma mistook it. I like Imogen. I won’t lie to you.”
Grace looked at him suspiciously. Well, Uncle Troy wouldn’t lie to her.
She thought for a while, “Oh, I see, it’s because Aunt Imogen doesn’t like Uncle Troy!”
The little girl sighed like a grown–up, with a sad face, “What a pity.”
“Do you like Aunt Imogen, Grace?”
“For sure!” Grace nodded heavily, “Aunt Imogen is so beautiful, she’s a perfect wife!”
Grace had met Imogen only once, but she liked Imogen very much.
It’s a special feeling. Anyway, she felt that Imogen was very kind and gentle, and respected her. Imogen didn’t treat her like a child like others.
Troy was speechless.
“Imogen is so popular, attracting all men and women. Even Grace likes her,” Troy thought.
“What about visiting Aunt Imogen together tomorrow?”
“Alright.”
“Grace, can you do me a favor?” Troy coaxed, “Only Grace can help me.”
“Uncle Troy, just go ahead.”
Troy lowered his head and whispered to Grace.
Grace smiled, with her eyes squinted like a crescent moon, “Uncle Troy, you are so smart.” “So, will you help me, Grace?”
“Of course, but how do you thank me in return?” The little girl smiled shrewdly.
What a smart kid, asking for the honorarium.
“How about a donut every day?”
“Deal.”
The car stopped at the gate of Marshall villa.
Troy carried Grace out of the car and walked into Marshall villa together, with the small schoolbag in her hands.
“Wow, Great–grandma lives in such a big villa,” Grace was amazed as she walked forward.
As Grace entered the living room, Daisy saw her and said in surprise, “This must be Miss Grace! So fair and fresh, so cute!”
On hearing the praise, Grace said happily, “Nice to meet you, Granny.”
“What a polite child,” Daisy replied.

“Grace, come here,” said Layla.
Layla was fond of Grace at the first glance and invited Grace to come over with a will.
Grace looked over and said as he walked, “You are Great grandma, right? Nice to meet you. Great–grandma. My name is Grace.”
