Grandma tried her best to open her eyes to look at Leena. Her eyes seemed to have no focus, very confused and empty, but they were still focused on her, as if the wish of many years was finally about to come true, and she could not help but look at her a few more times.
Although Leena didn't know if grandma could see her clearly, she felt that she was very familiar with her. Although she looked haggard and much older, she still remembered the face of an old woman who called Helen. She didn't know if the old woman was Miguel's grandma in her memory.
Miguel's grandma didn't say anything for a long time. She just stared at Leena. With tears in her eyes, Miguel said, "Grandma, I've brought your future granddaughter in law to see you. "
When Miguel said this, he was a little hesitant, as if he had made a lot of determination to say it. Leena felt strange and couldn't help but look at him, only to find that his expression was very restrained, which made her even more confused.
Miguel's grandma suddenly raised her hand and tried hard to reach out to Leena. She could only hold her hand and said, "Grandma, can you see me? "
The old man held Leena's hand and stared at her for a while. Suddenly, he miraculously called out a name, "Leena, is that you, little Leena? "
Everyone was surprised and couldn't help but take a look at Leena. They didn't understand why Miguel's grandma called her "little Leena". Did she know her? Just now, no one whispered in her ear that her granddaughter in law was Leena's. did it really mean that she had known her before when Miguel's grandma called her this name.
Even Leena was surprised, but at the same time, she confirmed her thought. Was Miguel's grandma really the one in her memory? Was it a good thing or a bad thing for her if they were the same person?
Ronald stepped forward and whispered, "Mom, do you know Leena? "
Miguel's grandma raised the other hand, and this time, he held Leena's hand with both hands. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he said excitedly, "Wow, it's really little Leena. She used to write books and cut paper with me to collect the shoe soles? "
Leena was sure about what she was thinking, but she was so surprised that she asked incredulously, "Are you granny Helen? Used to cut paper under a big tree with granny Vayne, collect shoe soles and tell stories? "
Leena remembered clearly that granny Helen always touched her head and said, "Why don't I have a granddaughter? If only I could have a granddaughter as obedient and considerate as you. I won't feel bored all day long. The two bad boys at home always go out to play and don't accompany me! "
At that time, Leena was still young and didn't recognize Miguel. Then on the first day of her primary school, she rebuilt the community and cut off a big tree, and made a lawn. The old ladies didn't go there to chat. Because of her busy study in junior high school, she seldom wandered around in the community, and rarely saw granny Helen. That was all over. She didn't expect that she would know granny Helen was Miguel's grandma when they met many years later. And she supported her to be the daughter-in-law of the Song Family.
She didn't know how she felt. She was very happy to meet granny Helen, and she liked her very much when she was a child. However, Amy asked her to be Miguel's daughter-in-law, but she didn't agree or refuse. So she was confused and at a loss.
Miguel turned to look at Leena. He was obviously shocked and at a loss for what to do. When Ronald asked him to marry Leena, he was very resistant. Now his grandmother also liked her, and she even hoped that she would become their daughter-in-law soon. He couldn't deal with it, and he didn't know what to do.
Leena looked at him and saw the resistance and struggle in Miguel's eyes. She didn't know what to say, nor did she know what he was struggling for. Although Miguel was in love with her, he had never thought of marrying her. Was it a good thing or a bad thing? He had shown so much love for her in the past few months, but he had never thought of marrying her. Should she be happy?
