"Let's eat." Scarlett glanced at Larry. She needed some time to digest it.
Scarlett ate absent-mindedly.
However, Larry didn't just want to be reunited with Scarlett. He looked up at Scarlett across the table." Grandpa has been wanting to meet you after hearing about you.
Larry paused. "Our grandma was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer five years ago. She managed to hang on just to meet your mother. She has been tortured by Aunt's appearance for many years. Three months ago, the doctor told us Grandma was in critical condition and was given no more than a month to live. She is holding on because she is waiting for you and your mother.
"Auntie passed away. Now the only one who can fulfill her wish is you. Scarlett, | hope you can go back with me.
We've been waiting for you to come home." Larry was a cold man, but his voice was full of affection. Scarlett's nose twitched. Her eyes turned red.

She looked up at Larry, saying after a pause, "Okay." Larry said that they had been waiting for Scarlett and her mom, not that they would receive them.
Her mother was a Tank, and so was she.
For a moment, Scarlett almost cried.
After her parents died, she was lonely. Later, she married Raymond, thinking that he could give her a home.
Finally, she found that he did nothing but hurt her.
Having been divorced for more than a year, she lived casually and spontaneously. She was joyful, but on holidays, when she heard people talking with their families on the phone, she couldn't help thinking about where her home was.
She was homeless.
Yet now, Larry told her that they were all waiting for her to come home.
Scarlett would probably never hear something more attractive than this in her life.
"Are you going back tonight?" Larry nodded, "Yes." Scarlett pursed her lips. "I'll pack some clothes and go back with you tonight." "Okay." Their grandma's condition was getting worse and worse. She was hanging on by willpower. Everyone felt sad for her but understood why she was unwilling to leave the world.
The old lady had suffered for so many years. The Tank family wanted her to pass away peacefully.
Scarlett agreed to go back with him tonight. Larry was overjoyed.
"Katherine, leave the things to Justin." Katherine, who was still in shock, did a double-take." Okay, Ms. Reed." After that, Scarlett called Larry. "I'll go back and pack u P-" Even though this was the first time the cousins had met formally, Scarlett could feel Larry's kindness and affection for her.

She was very grateful that Larry told her they were waiting for her to come home.
Larry had been cold and distant for more than 30 years, but what Scarlett just said touched his heart.
From now on, he was no longer the only child of the Tank family.
They walked out of the room to the door. Scarlett drove here, but Larry and his assistant didn't. Scarlett asked Katherine to send them back.
The rain stopped in the afternoon but came on again i n the evening. Scarlett had just held up the umbrella when Larry took it from her.
"Let me hold it." Scarlett was stunned. She nodded and smiled at Larry, but as she turned her head away, her eyes were red.
She thought, 'If Mom knew it, she would be as happy a s me." The four of them said goodbye in the parking lot. Scarlett got into her car, while Larry and his assistant got into Katherine's car.
