Love Comes To Me
Chapter 864: Unexcusable

Edgar led the four members of Eloise's family on a stroll around the huge mansion.

The old Khan family house is said to be a villa, but it retains the layout of the previous courtyard.

Everywhere reveals a sense of antiquity and age.

"The Khan family 's old mansion should be considered an ancient house, worth a lot of money, and the eldest uncle and the second uncle have always thought about it.

If Grandpa hadn't been against it, thinking it was his and Grandma's home, they probably would have taken on the old house."

As he watched, Edgar spoke to Eloise about the current situation.

He sounded very helpless.

With Grandpa still in good health, the Farabee and Devona families were eager to fight for their property.

With only profit in his eyes, it's no wonder Grandpa can't see them.

Edgar took Eloise and the others all around the mansion, around the cloisters and back to the main hall.

As soon as Sweety sat down, she yelled for a juice.

Edgar also spoiled her and went straight to the kitchen to squeeze two cups of strawberry juice out.

One for Sweety and one for Solomon.

Eloise thought about what happened in the medicinal field earlier and could not help but ask the question in her mind, "Cousin, where is Grandma?"

From what Edgar just said, it seems that Grandpa and Grandma should have had a very strong bond.

But after coming to the old house for so long... she hadn't seen her grandmother either.

Hearing Eloise's question, Edgar's eyes dimmed and his whole body seemed to be haunted by sadness.

Seeing her son like this, Shang Ying sighed softly and spoke back for him, "Your grandmother passed away a few years ago. She was the one who loved your mother the most, and she was still talking about her before she died." The conversation suddenly got heavy and the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

"Grandma used to love me earlier too, I thought about going to my aunt but ..."

When Edgar said this, he heaved a deep sigh, his eyes seemingly glistening with water.

Eloise bit her lower lip lightly, inwardly feeling sorry for Maryam.

Some things have already happened, and it would be futile to say anything now.

With two children she can empathise even more.

As a mother, she was separated from her beloved daughter for so many years and was not able to see her once before she died.

Eloise could feel exactly how upset her grandmother was feeling.

"It was my mother who didn't know any better at the time."

She opened her mouth and uttered these words dryly.

She knew in her heart that, as a daughter, it was ungrateful for her mother to behave in this way.

"Actually, it's not all her fault... If Grandpa hadn't been so stubborn in the first place, your mother wouldn't have left home ..." Shang Ying gently reassured Eloise.

Eloise smiled bitterly, unable to say anything to excuse her mother.

Without a word, Hector reached out and swept her thin body into his arms.

"Brother-in-law, sister-in-law, cousin, can you take me to see my grandmother?"

It was only after half a second that Eloise looked up at Edgar's family with hopeful eyes and made her request.

Since her mother didn't make it back in time in the first place.

So let her now go and offer incense to her grandmother instead of her mother, as a way of doing her own filial duty for her mother.

Baggott and Shang Ying were moved by the words and felt that Eloise was very thoughtful.

Baggott nodded solemnly, "Eloise, you really know your stuff, let me take you to the shrine."

It's always a good idea to meet, after all Eloise and her children are half of the Khan family.

So the group headed back in the direction of the shrine.

The ancestral hall is in the best place for feng shui in the old mansion.

It was cleaned by the servants and was quiet and stately.

The two children who had been making a lot of noise on the way here were quiet as they walked, as if they sensed the different atmosphere. When I stepped into the ancestral hall, I saw the plaques of the ancestors of the Khan family neatly laid out there.

Below, there are incense burners and fresh fruit and vegetables as tribute.

Edgar led the four members of Eloise's family to a separate listing of spirit boards.

He took three sticks of incense, lit them and took the lead in worshipping three times before inserting the incense. into the incense burner. "This is Grandma's spirit tablet."

Eloise nods and looks sideways.

A small black and white photograph of a smiling and amiable woman can also be seen.

Although there are some wrinkles on her face, it is still easy to see that Maryam resembles her in a few ways.

This is the grandmother, who raised her mother to adulthood.

Eloise's heart was flooded with an indescribable feeling.

She took the same three incense sticks and lit them, held them upright in front of her and then knelt in front of her grandmother's spirit tablet. "Grandma, my name is Eloise, I am your granddaughter, and I will light these three incense sticks for you first in place of my mother."

She finished in a soft whisper, paid her respects and put the incense into the censer three times.

After Eloise got up, Hector was already holding three lit incense sticks for her.

Then she took three more cones and knelt beside her together.

Eloise's heart was warmed and she resumed her kneeling, beckoning Sweety and Solomon over again.

"Grandma, my mother is not here right now, so I will definitely come over with her some time later to make amends to you."

Saying this, she made three more reverent obeisances, and Hector did likewise.

After the worship, the two men together inserted the incense into the back of the censer.

"Grandma, my name is Hector, your granddaughter-in-law,."

Hector's low voice made Eloise flinch as it came from beside her, "Don't worry Grandma, I'll take care of Mom for the rest of her life and I'll keep Eloise from getting hurt one bit." She tilted her head and saw him gazing at his grandmother's spirit tablet with a serious face, and her heart was covered with sweetness and emotion.

What is there to regret about being pampered by such a wonderful man?

"Grandma, this is your great-great-grandson and great-great-granddaughter, Solomon and Sweety."

Eloise introduces her pair of children with equal solemnity.

Sweety looked at the old man on the spirit board with a confused look on her face and Solomon blinked, not daring to say anything. Eloise stroked their heads.

If Grandma were still alive, she would have loved the two little ones too.

After all that had to be said and done, Eloise got up and the family of four walked out of the shrine.

Baggott and Shang Ying looked at them with eyes that revealed relief and happiness.

Shang Ying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and choked back a sob, "How happy it would be if Mum was still around."

Baggott was silent for a moment, "Mom must also be proud of her sister for having such a daughter-in-law."

The fact that Maryam did not return is probably the most regrettable thing in several people's hearts.

However, what Eloise has done is a token of appreciation.

"Okay, Dad and Mom, let's go back to the hall!"

Edgar came out to pull the conversation away.

"Eh, yes, Dad would have finished tending the medicine fields by now too."

Shang Ying took over and said.
