Love Me Back (Amelia and Daniel) novel Chapter 376

For the first time, Amelia Turner truly experienced the power of an older person’s “wavy-line” way of speaking—the kind that makes it impossible to say no.

After hanging up the phone, she walked over to where Ruby was building with blocks and knelt beside her.

“Ruby, Grandma wants us to come stay at her house for a little while. What do you think?”

Ruby’s big blue eyes blinked up at her. “Is it Grandma Edith, the one who always calls me?”

“That’s right.”

“Yay!” Bunny squealed, bouncing nearly three feet in the air. “I get to play with Grandma every day!”

To a child forever excited by new things, anywhere she hadn’t stayed yet was basically a vacation. The idea of living somewhere different filled Ruby with boundless glee.

She couldn’t wait—immediately dragging out her kitten-shaped suitcase to start packing. This doll had to come. That figurine was absolutely essential. The list of things she wanted to take grew so long that when her little suitcase was full, Ruby snuck the overflow into her mom’s luggage with a conspiratorial giggle.

What a clever little fox she was.

Meanwhile…

Daniel Campbell arched an eyebrow as he scrolled through the long itemized bill his grandmother had sent him. He dialed her number. “Grandma, is Grandpa having some kind of midlife crisis I should know about?”

“Rubbish! If he ever pulled a stunt like that, I’d send him straight to the hereafter!”

“Then why is Grandpa so broke?” Daniel skimmed the bill. “You’re even sending me receipts for beds. Grandpa’s annual allowance could fund a whole football team. Can he even keep up at his age?”

Grandma Edith muttered something about “cheeky brat” and told him to look more closely.

“Check what was actually bought.”

Daniel zoomed in on the invoice. “Solid wood bunk beds for kids?”

“Keep scrolling.”

He sat up straighter, finger gliding down the document. When he reached the last few lines, he pressed his tongue to his cheek, trying to hold back a laugh, but the corners of his mouth betrayed him and curled up into a grin as wide as the sun.

“So, tell me—what grand and noble scheme are you up to now?”

“I invited Amelia and Ruby to stay at the house with me for a while. They agreed,” Grandma Edith replied, her pride practically dripping from every word. “Now you tell me, shouldn’t you be paying for all this?”
