My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 308 Parting with Grandma Laura

"Amy, I heard that you are very busy recently. It seems that Philip introduced you to a lot of American businessmen. Have you investigated them?" After drinking a few drinks, Andy asked.

"Yes. The survey shows that they are all reliable enterprises. I also asked my friends in America to verify it and they told me that these enterprises are reliable," said Amy. She knew that Andy made a concerted effort for her, but she also made a detailed investigation. The total number of contracts this time was more than ten billion, so she would be very careful.

"Well, we have only heard of Philip and had no interaction with him before. You'd better be careful. You have established cooperative relationship with so many companies that I think this is too good to be true,' said Andy. He felt there seemed something was wrong.

"I want to make some achievements to show that I don't rely on Mr. Newell completely. I have the ability to make it," said Amy. She was in a hurry to succeed for it was said that she worked for Mr. Newell not because of her own efforts or capability but because of luck and she benefited from Mr. Newell. Therefore, she was defiant and wanted to show her capability.

"Fine. You just be careful. It is my birthday today and I want a gift from you," said Andy.

Amy was taken aback by his words. She never thought that it was his birthday today. She was too busy to keep it in mind.

"Andy, I am so sorry to have forgotten your birthday. What gift do you want?" asked Amy with an apology in her heart.

"I want you to go with me to a place to meet someone. That's the gift I want," said Andy.

Amy felt sorry to forget his birthday, so she consented to his request.

They had a good time having dinner together. Andy always helped her in silence so she appreciated him very much.

It was not very late after dinner. Andy took her to a place.

Amy kept asking him whom they were going to see but got no answer from Andy, who wanted to maintain a sense of mystery.

Amy followed Andy to the house. The room inside was tidy and there was no one here.

"Come with me. She's in the garden," said Andy to Amy.

"Amy, you are here! How do you know that my grandmother has come?" asked Hannah. She was so surprised to see Amy and threw herself into Amy's arms.

"Amy, can you recognize me?" said Grandma Laura. Wearing grey hair, she stood among a cluster of flowers. Although at her age, she was still in a good spirit and always seemed amiable.

"Grandma Laura?" said Amy. She couldn't believe she could meet Grandma Laura again. It had been twenty years since she last met her.

"I am so lucky that you still remember me. You have grown up and become beautiful. Good girl," said Grandma Laura. She unfolded her arms, preparing for a zealous hug.

"Grandma Laura, you return to China?" Amy was very excited. In her childhood, Grandma Laura loved her most. She left everything good to her.

"Yes, it's time to go home. East, west, home is the best. Andy told he would give me a big surprise. I never thought it would be you. That is indeed a big surprise!" said Grandma Laura. She always hoped that Amy could be Andy's girlfriend but with the passing of time, everything had changed. There was no destiny that tied them together.

"Grandma Laura, I miss you so much," said Amy. She threw herself into Grandma Laura's arms. She was so excited to meet Grandma Laura again.

"I miss you, too. You all have grown up and I have grown old. How is everything going, my dear," asked Grandma Laura. She held Amy tightly. She was so happy to come back again.

"Alright, let's go inside. It is windy outside," said Hannah. Since it was late at night with wind chill hovering around, she worried about Grandma Laura.

"OK, let's get in. Amy, don't leave tonight. I miss you so much. You can stay here and accompany me tonight," said Grandma Laura. She held Amy's hands tightly and was not willing to let them go.

"Alright, I will call my family to tell them I won't go home tonight. I stay here with you," said Amy. Then she called the family and asked Allen to sleep with the nanny.

"In those years, Amy was the youngest one and the most beautiful kid. She always followed with Andy and played with him so we all thought they two would get married in the future!" said Grandma Laura. She was so happy that she spoke all her thoughts.

The room was suddenly with an air of embarrassment.

"However, you are so lucky. Whoever marries you will live a happy life," said Grandma Laura to Amy. She wanted to say something to rectify the awkward situation.

"You all have grown up. Amy and Hannah have been married. Andy, you are the oldest. Why haven't you got married yet? I am waiting for my great-grandson," said Grandma Laura to Andy. Looking at her grandson, she thought he was such an excellent person and he must still love Amy. But that was impossible now. He should rearrange his life.

"Grandma Laura, my brother already has a kid now. You don't have to worry about me. There are already four generations under the same roof," said Andy. He never thought she aimed at him. "Grandma, your words make sense. He is in his 30s but isn't in a hurry at all to replace a girlfriend. He will become an old man in a few years," said Hannah to Grandma Laura.

"Man should focus on his career. Besides, it is meaningless to replace a person you don't love," said Andy while looking at Amy.

Amy didn't raise her head. She didn't know what to say. Although she wished to marry with Andy in her childhood, he had left for a long time without any interaction with her. She never knew his intention. Let bygones be bygones. They could never go back to the way they were before.

"Oh, I have made some sticky rice with brown sugar that Amy likes best. I intend to let Andy give it to you in his spare time tomorrow. Since you are here, you can take it out and eat right now. Look whether the level of my skill degrades or not," said Grandma Laura. She dispelled the air of embarrassment.

Amy was really full but she was appreciated that Grandma Laura could help remove the embarrassment.

The white sticky rice lay on the plate like jade, strewn all over with brown sugar and bean paste. It looked delicious.

"It has been a long time since I last ate the sticky rice by Grandma Laura. I will relish it to the full today," said Hannah while handing a fork to Amy.
