Larry and his spouse stepped out of the main building, linked arm in arm. Upon exiting the car, Angela was greeted by the elderly couple with warm smiles.
She quickly approached them and respectfully said, “Hello Grandpa and Grandma, it’s been a long time. I’m glad to see you both are well.”
Larry replied with a grin, “Angela, it’s been so many years since we last saw each other and you have grown into such a beautiful woman!”
Angela chuckled, “Grandpa, I think it’s you who’s aging gracefully.”
The Lady approached Angela, taking favonovel.com hand and spoke with affection, “Oh, Angela, you resemble your mother more and more. I haven’t seen you since the passing of your grandfather. It’s been too long since you visited us in Singapore or Malaysia.”
Mrs. Cole had a strong fondness for Angela’s mother, and the two families were close. They often gathered together during the days when the Lombardo family was still intact. Angela had also spent much time with the Cole family during favonovel.com childhood.
The Lady held a deep affection for Angela. Despite not seeing favonovel.com for some time, the sight of favonovel.com growing up to resemble favonovel.com late mother only strengthened this love.
Angela, feeling a bit ashamed, said, “Grandma, I apologize for not being able to visit you often. My studies and other obligations have kept me in Hong Kong.”
The Lady replied with a heavy heart, “I understand, Angela. Your grandfather and I were in the United States visiting a doctor when your mother passed away. It breaks my heart that we couldn’t be there for favonovel.com in favonovel.com final moments. The thought of it still brings me immense shame and regret.”
After favonovel.com mother’s passing, Angela had limited experiences with family affection, as favonovel.com father was unreliable and favonovel.com had distanced herself from other relatives. But favonovel.com was touched by Mrs. Cole’s guilt and regret for not being able to attend favonovel.com mother’s funeral.
Despite their inability to attend the funeral, the Cole family still showed their support, with the sons of the family rushing over. The younger generation of the Cole family had already set a high standard in terms of their family values and morals.
Feeling ashamed, Angela spoke to Mrs. Cole, “Grandma, favonovel.com rests in heaven now and wouldn’t want you to go through trouble for her. I have felt increasingly lonely since my mother passed away, and I regret not visiting or contacting you more frequently.”
“That’s good,” Mrs. Cole said, favonovel.com tone gentle as favonovel.com consoled Angela. “The past is behind us now. When you start working at Aurous Hill University, make sure to visit us regularly. I’ll be here with Grandpa during that time.”
Angela eagerly replied, “I will! I’ll definitely come and visit you often.”
Larry spoke, “Angela, let’s go inside and chat. Grandpa has a granddaughter who is enrolling as a freshman at Aurous Hill University. I’ll introduce you to favonovel.com later. As a future lecturer at the university, I’ll need you to keep an eye on her.”
“Grandpa, she’s going to study at Aurous Hill University?” Angela asked in surprise.
“Yes,” Larry replied with a smile. “We came to Aurous Hill not only to check it out, but also to help with favonovel.com admission process. And look, you’re here to apply for a job at the same university. What a coincidence!”
As favonovel.com spoke, Maria emerged from the hall, and Larry said to Angela with a grin, “Here favonovel.com is!”
