When she unveils identities novel (Shirley and Braden) -
Chapter 425
Chapter 425 Become Stars
Howard was in the Stewart's old mansion.
He was very excited, and there were tears in his eyes as he looked at Bennett and
Alisha brought by Tracy.
"Kids, this is your great-grandpa that I mentioned. He is the person who dotes on your mommy the most and also the person your daddy fears the most."
Tracy warmly introduced Howard to the kids.
After a few days, she had already figured out the tricks of getting along with the kids.
Anyone good to Shirley and bad to Braden was their "comrade".
Therefore, she would criticize Braden from time to time, and she therefore successfully became the kids' friend.
She believed that the kids would like Howard after her introduction like this.
Sure enough, Bennett, who had always been cautious, took the initiative to approach Howard.
He raised his head and seriously looked at Howard's wrinkled face. Then he used his small hand to pull Howard's wrinkled fingers gently and said sincerely, as if he were a mature adult, "Great-Grandpa, I can tell that you are a nice person. Thank you for being so good to my mommy back then."
Alisha also walked forward and said proudly to Bennett, "Bennett, you agree now, right? A good-looking person is a good person. We should judge a person by their appearance..."
Then she turned around and held Howard's other hand with her soft hand. She smiled sweetly, "Great Grandpa, my name is Alisha. You are the kindest old man I have ever seen. You must be very good- looking when you were young, so I am sure that you are a good person!"
"Well, this..."
Their words stunned Howard, who had experienced a lot. After a long time, he reacted and then laughed.
"Good. Awesome! You are my great-grandkids, the blood of the Stewart family. I didn't expect that I would live long enough to see today..."
Howard tightly held the kids' hands. He grinned heartily while shedding tears. Looking at the gorgeous ceiling, he couldn't calm down for a long time. "Jason, are you seeing this? They are Braden and Shirley's kids. The blood of the Stewart family and the Wilson family is now passed on. Finally, I can face you without feeling ashamed!"
Hearing Howard's words, Kenny frowned. He was so sad that he choked up. He said,
"Dad, what are you talking about? This is a moment of reunion. We should be thrilled. Don't say jinx like that. You will live long and prosper."
Tracy's eyes were also red. "Yes, he is right. Howard, you are in good health. The kids have just come back to you. You should stay by their side and wait long enough to be with your great, great-grandkids." "Stop, both of you."
Kenny waved his hand. He took a deep breath with some difficulty and smiled, which was both benevolent and a bit dignified, "I know better than anyone how I am doing.
Back then, you put in so much effort to replace a perfect heart for me, and I have lived so many extra years. I am already very content. And I'm even more grateful to see the kids. Even if I die now, I can rest in peace."
Bennett heard their conversation and couldn't help but worry about Howard's health. He said, "Great Grandpa, are you sick?"
"Yes. I'm old, and my body functions have begun to fail..."
Howard smiled kindly, stroked Bennett's head, and said words that sounded quite philosophical, "But it's fine. Everyone will grow old one day. Death is the end and the starting point. I believe that one day, we will meet in another way..."
Tracy said helplessly, "Howard, what you say is too much for the kids to understand."
"No. I understand."
Bennett looked solemn, and as a philosopher, he said seriously, "GreatGrandpa means that his life will not end. He will continue to be with us in another way."
"I got it!"
Alisha blinked and said with great anticipation, "Maybe one day, GreatGrandpa will become a star, protecting us at night, or become a tree, sheltering us from the wind and rain, or become a cat, accompanying us..."
"Exactly. That's what I meant."
Howard's eyes became even moister when he heard the kids' words. He was overwhelmed by a sense of pride. "You are worthy of being Shirley's kids. You are very smart and sensible. You know what? You beat both Jaida and Jason. Also, you are more emotional compared with Braden. Our family is so lucky to unite with the Wilson family, and their perfect genes are now passed on."
Kenny was also stunned by Bennett and Alisha's great-comprehension ability. Yet compared with Howard, he leaned towards the Stewart family more. He whispered,
"Dad, Braden's genes are outstanding, too. I think the kids inherited their emotional intelligence from Shirley and their IQ from Braden."
"Nonsense!"
Howard rolled his eyes at Kenny. "You know what? Shirley was a top student. She skipped several grades and became a PhD student, and she majored in physics, the most difficult one. How can Braden be her match?
If you ask me, he is at most a businessman. How vulgar!" Just as Howard was loathing Braden, Shirley pushed Braden to the living room. The scene turned awkward.
"Hey, Shirley! I'm so glad to see you here with Braden together. Good girl!"
Tracy warmly came forward to greet Shirley and held Shirley's arm kindly. She didn't even bother to look at Braden, who was sitting in the wheelchair.
"Shirley, it must have been a long trip. You must have been tired from taking care of him, right? Come here and sit. Are you thirsty? Come and get something to drink."
She pulled Shirley to sit with her and told the servants to fetch Shirley some topquality rose tea.
"I'm not thirsty or tired."
Shirley was a bit overwhelmed by Tracy, who appeared to be a bit overly enthusiastic.
Shirley's eyes were red, and her nose was sore as she looked at Howard. She choked and said, "Mr. Stewart, I'm sorry. I'm late. I don't know that you..."
When Howard heard her words, he couldn't help but grin. "Silly girl. You're late? Late for what? I'm still alive, aren't I? I am healthy and can eat a lot. I can eat two plates of pasta in one meal. I eat more than you young people."
'I'm glad to hear that."
Shirley tried hard to collect herself, not wanting the atmosphere to be too emotional.
The kids threw themselves into her arms affectionately. They said a little naively and romantically, "Mommy, don't be sad. Great-Grandpa said that he would become a star and guard us."
"Alright. Well all become stars and meet in the night sky."
Shirley was very happy that her kids were so sensible and heartwarming.
Everyone gathered together, laughing and joking, and the scene was very touching.
Only Braden sat pitifully in the wheelchair, and no one paid attention to him or pushed him. What a typical portrayal of his life.
"Are you guys done talking? Can someone see me?'
Braden could no longer remain aloof. He coughed a few times and said, "I sprained my waist. Can someone give me a push?"
Howard glanced at Braden and said in a disapproving tone, "You're a grown man. Aren't you embarrassed when saying that you sprain your waist?"
Kenny didn't take Braden's words seriously, either. "Yes, you sprained your waist. Big deal. Stop making a scene. You didn't break your waist, did you?"
Tracy simply ignored Braden, since she was focusing on teasing the kids.
She sometimes fed Bennett and sometimes fed Alisha, grinning the whole time. Braden thought, none of them take me seriously. This is so unfair. I guess... I need to make a fuss!
