Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Desperate to See You

They bought pizza, and Daniel Marshall was leading Olivia Jenkins by hand, wandering through the market.

Soon, they purchased a big box of cherries and a large box of strawberries.

They could get the items delivered, so Daniel left the address and continued exploring the market, hand in hand with Olivia.

“Honey, look, the lobsters are so big, and there are king crabs too.”

“Why don’t we buy them all?”

“We can’t finish all that. Today let’s eat lobsters, and tomorrow we could buy the king crabs. We could buy some shellfish to grill.”

“Wife, since we’re going to grill, let’s get some lamb, beef, and pork belly. Even if we can’t finish them, we can keep them in the fridge. As for seafood, it must be the freshest. The seafood here is mostly delivered directly from the fishing boats.”

“Okay, let’s buy some shrimp for grilling, too. Grilled chicken wings are also delicious. Uh … can our bicycle handle all this stuff?”

Daniel stole a sweet kiss, coaxed, “Wife, you can buy whatever you want. We’ll get a small truck to deliver our purchases later. You can buy some more fruits too.”

“Then I will go on a shopping spree!”, Olivia’s pretty face was beaming with a sweet smile, waves of warmth flooding her heart.

A life that belonged to the two of them alone, without any random fuss or scheming, was indeed quite blissful!

Since Chief Marshall was not in Serene City and she couldn’t meet him, there was no use guarding Serene City, so Grace Ziegler chose to go home for the Lunar New Year with the first wave of migrants. freewёbnoνel.com

To prevent her mother from seeing the inconsistencies, Grace first flew to Kyoto before boarding the train to Binzhou from Kyoto.

Upon receiving her daughter’s call about coming home for the Lunar New Year, Ella Charles, who was using the pseudonym of Ella Lee, was thrilled.

She prepared many of her daughter’s favorite dishes two days in advance.

When her daughter returned home that day, Ella drove her frequently used tricycle to the Binzhou mining area’s station to pick up her daughter.

Although it had been a year since she last saw her mother, Grace recognized her mother immediately in the crowd. She ran over, dragging her suitcase, and embraced her mother.

“It’s freezing, isn’t it? Take this hot water bag to warm your hands.”

“Mom, I missed you so much.”

“I missed you, too. It’s good that you’re back. I made stewed pork ribs and braised pig’s feet for you.” Tears welled up involuntarily in Ella’s eyes, her adopted daughter had been her emotional support for over twenty years.

It’s thanks to this lonely child that she hasn’t felt so alone, she has the courage to continue living.

Seeing her adopted child succeed, Ella was genuinely happy, her heart filled with contentment.

Not a day went by without thinking about her son. But, her son was with the Marshall Family; he was likely well catered and not a cause for worry.

Although sometimes painful, she bore it all silently. Twenty years passed like this.

Having Grace by her side brought her much joy.

Considering how far she had come, Ella was content.

With a face full of innocence, Grace’s sweet and harmless smile was infectious. She held her mother’s hand affectionately, “Thanks, Mom. I love the stewed pork ribs and the braised pig’s feet.”

“I also made kimchi hot pot for you.”

“It’s so good to be back. My taste buds have missed your cooking.”

Ella helped her daughter load her luggage into the tricycle and gave her the prepared hot water bag.

Her daughter was in the car, and Ella lovingly closed the curtains to stop the cold wind from chilling her.

“Mom, who’s taking care of the shop while you’re out? I can manage on my own, it’s not far.”

With her daughter back, Ella’s joyful mood was evident on her face, even her voice was filled with a hint of happiness, “There aren’t many customers now. I asked Victoria from next door to watch it for me. Besides, I really wanted to see you.”
