Chapter 329
Richard did feel energetic now, especially since he had left the Adler residence and moved to the house opposite the Holmes family
He unswervingly chose to buy the house opposite the Holmes family back then, which was the most correct decision he had made that year, even though the house he lived in now was bought by Kelvin.
If it hadn’t been for the fact that he was a bit slow at taking action, the house would have had his name on it.
After Gavyn and Carol had left, the butler who had been with Richard for decades came over.
It was a rare opportunity for Richard and the butler to have some free time, so they sat together and chatted for a while, marveling at how quickly the children had grown up.
In Richard’s mind, Laura was still the delicate little girl. He couldn’t believe she was about to get engaged.
Gavyn, Richard’s son, only had one daughter, Laura. He and his wife had doted on Laura since she was a child. Even when she was five, they carried her everywhere, reluctant to let her take a step alone. They even spoon–fed her.
Laura wore her clothes and shoes only once before throwing them away. She was raised more delicately than a princess
Richard disapproved of that and thought Gavyn and Carol spoiled their daughter, so he scolded them with a stern
At that time, Richard probably didn’t think there would be a day when he would be treated like that.
face.
He could see that Laura was kind and intelligent. She had always been a prodigy among girls of her age. No wonder her parents loved her so much.
Richard thought a good child would be spoiled by them if that continued
Although Gavyn and Carol were reluctant, they did not dare to disobey Richard’s wishes and restrained themselves a little.
Upon thinking of Laura, Richard couldn’t help but think of Widi
Contrary to Laura’s situation, Widi’s living environment was almost the opposite of Laura’s.
Laura and Widi were seven or eight years apart in age. When Widi was three, Carol took our Laura’s worn clothes as Laura was little and said she wanted to give them to Widi.
When Teresa, Anthony’s wife and Widi’s mother, heard that, she was furious. She thought it was an insult to them and then ran to Richard to complain.
Richard remembered it was past one o’clock in the afternoon in sununer. He was taking a nap when the butler woke him up and said Teresa was crying outside.
He got out of bed and went out to listen to Teresa and learned the reason.
Gavyn’s family and Anthopy’s family had always been at odds. They were outwardly friendly but inwardly hostile. Each of them was not short of
Somehow, Carol suddenly said she wanted to give Widi her daughter’s used clothes to wear, and Teresa felt humiliated.
Teresa cried before Richard, accusing Carol, “Why should Widi wear Laura’s used clothes? Carol is going too far!”
To be honest, Richard didn’t think it was a big deal.
Laura only wore
wore all of her clothes once when she was little, except for the ones she especially liked.
And the ones she especially liked had been put away by her parents and kept for her as memories.
So the ones that could be given away were all new, and Richard later saw them, and some even still had their tags on and their dust bags unopened.
It was really making a mountain out of a molrhill for them to bring the minor matter up to Richard.
Rx hard had a headache from all the noise, so he asked someone to call Gavyn and Carol over, along with the clothes that were the “culprits.”
In addition to that, Richard had Widi, who was playing with pebbles outside, brought in
As soon as Gavyn, Carol, Anthony, and Teresa met, they began to bicker. Richard coughed impatiently, and the room fell silent

Then, he asked Widi for her opinion.
“Widi, your sister Carol is all grown up now and can’t fit into these clothes, so she wants to give them to you. Do you want thiem”
It has to be said that Gavyn and Carol doted on Laura, whose clothes cost about 30 thousand dollars each, and a dress of hers even came with matching accessories and jewelry….
Widi, the three–year–old girl, saw so many beautiful dresses and sparkling hair clips. She nodded without thinking
It was easy since Widi liked it. Richard let Widi choose for herself, keep whichever clothes she liked to wear, and leave the rest for Gavyn and Carol to deal with.
They could be sent the clothes to a place that specializes in recycling these dresses to be cashed out, or they could be given to others
After Widi nodded and said she wanted them, Teresa’s face changed again and again, becoming awful..
She looked at Widi threateningly, her eyes full of reproach
Widi was happily picking out a dress from the maid’s hands when she saw Teresa’s look and let go in fright.
Richard also saw it. He was angry and scolded Teresa
Widi was only three. What did she know? She just took what she liked.
The two families each had different ideas about raising their daughters.
When Laura was three years old, she dressed in layers upon layers, like a delicate and beautiful cupcake. Her jewelry was also expensive, and the servants were often seen looking for her lost hair clips and bracelets.
In contrast, Widi dressed more simply.
ay for her
Anthony and Teresa wouldn’t mistreat Widi when it came to clothing, but they wouldn’t go out of their way.
Widi had never worn such a gorgeous dress before. That was why she wanted it
So, when Teresa was dissatisfied, Richard calmly questioned her, “If you buy it for her, will she still want these?”
Then Teresa fell silent..
The inatter came to an end, but there were countless similar incidents afterward.
Richard had a headache every day just dealing with those matters at home.
Moreover, those boys were either arguing or fighting when they got together
Just when Richard passed by them a second ago, he had seen those boys huddled together and having a great time. Yet, as soon as he had walked about fifteen yards away, the sound of their arguing came from behind him.
These little brats are so annoying, thought Richard.
All his old friends said it was a blessing to have many children and grandchildren, but Richard felt he hadn’t enjoyed any blessings, only suffering.
Yvonne is still the best. Yvonne is truly wonderful, thought Richard
With that in mind, Richard took a sip of coffee from his cup and asked for the time. Upon learning that it had been an hour since Yvonne’s nap, instantly felt refreshed.
Yvonne should be awake after sleeping for so long. I have to go and see her, thought Richard again.
With that in mind, Richard stood up and swayed toward the Holmes family opposite
He stealthily pushed open a crack in the door as if he were a thief and peeked Inside.
As expected, Yvonne was awake. Her luck was facing the door, and her round back looked like a round and furry rabbit.
She was surrounded by many teddy bears. She was muttering to herself.
Richard’s mood instantly brightened when he saw her wake up.
He smiled, closed the door, and k
I knocked on it seriously

The door was not
was not closed tightly, and he could still hear Yvonne’s sound running toward him.
The sound got closer and closer and finally stopped before him. Then, the door opened.
After seeing Richard outside, Yvonne raised her head, smiled, and shouted to him in a milky voice, “Grandpa…
Richard smiled. His voice and attitude unconsciously softened. “What are you doing?”
Yvonne pointed to several teddy bears arranged in a circle in the distance and explained to him enthusiastically, “Grandpa, look. This is me. This is
Anna…
She ran to get all the little teddy bears and explained happily.
Richard’s smile froze as he heard her next semence.
“This is my baby with Anna, said Yvonne.
Confused, Richard tilted his head slowly.
“No. Is this right. Yvonne? thought Richard.
