Chapter 210 Unqualified Parent
“Hi, Grace. Sweetie, come and have a seat.” Layla nodded with satisfaction and took out an Apple Watch. She handed it to Grace, “This is a gift for you.”
Grace was not timid at all, she put her school bag on the sofa and sat down next to Layla. Then she picked up the school bag and opened it, “Thank you, Great–grandma, I have a gift for you, too.”
As she said, she took out a small iron box from her school bag, “Here, Great–grandma, I made some biscuits for you.”
“Wow, Grace. You know how to make biscuits! Awesome!”
Layla opened the box, and the small golden biscuits inside were placed in a mess. It could be seen that they were pressed out of molds. There were bunny shapes, kitten shapes, and round shapes. Number shapes and so on.
Layla picked up one and tasted it, which almost broke her dentures.
“Isn’t it delicious?!” Grace looked at Layla with expectation.
Her beautiful brown eyes were shining.
Layla didn’t want to let her down, “Well, it’s delicious. You are so sweet, but I don’t like biscuits, so go and give it to Uncle Troy.”
“Okay!” Grace didn’t notice it, and with her short legs, she came to Troy with the iron box in hand, and handed it over, “Uncle Troy, have some biscuits.”
“Thank you, Grace.”
Troy took it over, picked one up, and tasted it, his face froze slightly, and he glanced at Layla calmly.
Layla was talking to Grace with a smile, asking about her life in Lyon.
The little girl answered carefully.
Though Grace was only four years old, she spoke clearly and thought quickly.
Layla asked again, “Grace, you bring only this school bag with you?”
“Yeah,” Grace nodded, “Grandma said that I might not be able to carry too much.”
“She’s right. Grace is too young to carry that much. Since you didn’t bring any clothes, go with Uncle Troy and let him buy you some clothes, okay?”
“Great–grandma isn’t going with us?”
“I can’t walk too much, so I won’t go.”
“Oh, well.”
Layla gave Troy a hint, “Take Grace to the mall to buy some clothes, and show her around by the way.”
“Okay,” Troy stood up.
Even if Layla didn’t say anything, he had planned to do so.
“Grace, let’s go to the mall.”
Grace got off the sofa, took Troy’s hand, and walked out.
“Don’t forget to come back for lunch,” Layla instructed.
“Okay,” Troy replied.
12:37
“Great–grandma, please cook a big meal for me, I will come back for lunch.” Grace turned her head
back.
“For sure! There must be a great meal.”
Seeing the two leave hand in hand, Layla couldn’t help sighing, “This child is really smart, what a misfortune. Why did her parents abandon her?”
“Maybe this is fate. It’s a coincidence. Grace and Troy have some similarities in eyebrows and eyes. They look like father and daughter. Maybe it’s God’s will.”
Layla thought about it carefully, “Alright, maybe this is fate!”
Thinking of something, Layla’s complexion changed slightly.
“Hope I was overthinking it.”
Troy took Grace to the mall to buy clothes.
After arriving at the shopping mall, Grace was so happy, she ran and jumped, and then saw a cruising train model, with parents and children sitting on each carriage.
Pointing to the cruising train, she said to Troy, “I want to take this one!”
The shopping mall had five floors in total, and they have finished all over.
After shopping for clothes, Grace was too tired to walk.
Troy held the object in one hand and picked her up with the other.
Grace wrapped her arms around Troy’s neck and excitedly praised, “Wow! Uncle Troy, so nice of you! I like you so much!”
“Because I can hold you with one hand?”
“Yeah! Eric’s father can also hold him with one hand! Grace doesn’t have a father, and Uncle Troy feels like my father.”
Hearing this, Troy looked at Grace with a feeling of distress.
“Grace looks heartless, but she knows everything,” he thought.
“How could her parents discard such a cute little girl? Unqualified to be her parents!”
For a moment, Troy wanted to adopt Grace.
He just wanted to be with Imogen. They didn’t have any more children, so it might be a good choice to adopt Grace.
It was just that he couldn’t speak rashly, at least until he chased Imogen back and asked for her opinion.
They went back to Marshall villa for lunch, and Grace was too tired to keep her eyes open after that.
Troy asked softly, “Grace, I will take you back to my place. You can sleep in the car for a while, and then rest at my home later, OK?”
“Okay,”
Troy took Grace back to Galaxy Villa.
In the car, Grace fell asleep all the way, but when she arrived at the villa, she woke
- up.
When Sue saw Grace, she almost took Grace as Troy’s illegitimate daughter, if Troy hadn’t told her in advance to prepare the guest room.

Grace checked her room and walked around the villa.
“What is this?” Grace took a cat teaser from somewhere and asked Sue.
Sue said, “This is a cat teaser, for teasing cats.”
“Cat teaser? Cat? Where’s the cat?!” Grace said.
“The cat is at Mrs. Marshall… your Aunt Imogen’s.”
Grace’s eyes shined with happiness. “I’m going to play with Aunt Imogen and her cat tomorrow!”
Troy thought about notifying Imogen in advance.
Thinking over it later, to get rid of him, Imogen did not hesitate to defile herself, maybe she would refuse to see Grace.
So he didn’t say it in advance.
After having breakfast the next day, Troy took Grace directly to Imogen’s apartment.
At this time, Charlie had probably gone to work, and only Imogen was at home.
“Aunt Imogen lives here,” Troy pointed to the apartment nearby, “Now I will call her.”
“Yeah.” Grace nodded obediently, looking forward to seeing Auntie Imogen and her cat very much..
Troy dialed Imogen’s number.
The bell rang for over 10 seconds.
It was almost time to automatically hang up before connecting. “Yes? Anything wrong?” Imogen replied with a cold voice.
Troy glanced at Grace, and said in a low voice, “I’m downstairs now, can you come down?” “Is there anything that can’t be said on the phone?” Imogen asked back.
Hearing Imogen’s icy voice, Troy’s heart was broken. When he was just about to speak, Grace snatched his mobile phone, “Auntie Imogen, it’s me! I miss you so much, can you come down and
see me?”
Imogen was stunned for two seconds when she heard the childish voice, and Grace’s face appeared in her mind, “Grace?”
It was Grace, that cute little girl.
“She came to New York City?” Imogen wondered.
“Auntie Imogen, it’s me! I’m downstairs at your apartment now. Auntie, I want to play with you, why don’t you come down and take me up…” The little girl acted coquettishly while holding the phone.
Imogen felt soft–hearted, stood up, and opened the door to go out, “I’m going down now, Grace, when did you come to New York City?”
Troy is Troy, and Grace is Grace.
Putting aside Troy, she was Grace’s aunt.
“Yesterday.”
“Where are you? I’m downstairs.”
“At the entrance of the apartment!”
About two minutes later, Imogen came out.

Seeing Imogen, Grace immediately rushed over and hugged her thigh, “Auntie!”
