Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan)
480 Has She Been Wrong?

"What could they be?" Aubree looked at the delicate little boxes expectantly.

"Grandma, can you tell us a story first?" Alfie said mischievously, hiding the gift box behind him, "I'll give it to you after!"

"Yes, grandma, tell us a story, please!" Diana was very sweet, "Alfie and I had a hard time sleeping without your bedtime story."

"Yes, we didn't fall asleep until very late."

Aubree stared at the two little cute children, a warm current slowly flowing in her heart.

A kind smile appeared on her face, and she agreed to Alfie and Diana's request.

"Once upon a time, there were three cute little pigs, and they all wanted to build a beautiful house..."

After about ten minutes, the story was over. Alfie and Diana listened carefully and clapped happily.

"Can I have the presents now?" Aubree asked, stretching out her hands.

"Okay!" Alfie and Diana handed the gifts over obediently.

"But grandma, don't open them now!" Alfie and Diana pressed her hand holding the gift boxes, and said in different voices, "You can open it only when you're back to your room!" So mysterious.

Aubree smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Then they ate mangoes while chatting.

Looking at Alfie and Diana's innocent looks, Aubree couldn't help but ask, "What do you guys think of me?"

Alfie and Diana looked at each other. They had to answer carefully.

Afraid that her question was too abstract for the children to understand, Aubree asked again, "Am I bad?"

"No!" Diana said without even thinking about it. "You're not bad at all! We love it when you tell us stories. You must have read tons of books!"

"You're very kind, and you are beautiful when you smile!" Alfie said. "I love your smile!"

"You're very beautiful," Diana added. "I've seen the grandmothers of my classmates, and none of them is as good-looking as you! You're in good shape and you look good in everything you wear!"

Aubree knew that she had to thank Jennifer for that.

Aubree never thought that she could get rid of the mask and talk to people so calmly. She had never thought that she still had the chance to walk out of Kelsington Bay. Suddenly, she was grateful to Jennifer.

And she found her scene of existence from the children.

"You are very knowledgeable!"

"You are very kind!"

"You love us!"

"You are the best grandma in the world!"

"Grandma, we love you!"

"I love you too..." Aubree smiled, with a few drops of tears in her eyes.

The gifts the two children gave her were two handwritten letters, with some mistakes in the spelling.

The handwriting was neat. They put a lot of effort into it.

Alfie and Diana wrote their sincere thoughts, mentioned how difficult it had been for Jennifer to bring them up, and also mentioned their longings for a family. They also expressed how much they love Aubree.

Aubree took out the letters when Alfie and Diana took a nap. She read them in front of the window of her bedroom, again and over again. She didn't want to put them down. The immature yet neat handwriting, together with every word they wrote, brought tears to her eyes.

She couldn't remember when was the last time someone confessed to her like this.

Sitting down at the dresser, Aubree folded the letters and put them in the drawer. Her eyes fell on the album, she could not help but reach out.

Inside were the pictures Catherine took for her. It was the first set of photos she took after her scars were healed. Catherine spent a long time taking photos that day.

It was the first time that Aubree had the courage to face the camera and smile confidently for decades.

In absolute silence, she flipped through the photos one by one and a thought emerged in her mind for the first time.

Has she been wrong all this time?

If she didn't insist on matching Ivan and Catherine, would things be different to this day?
