His Domineering Lover
Chapter 838

Ramiro looked at the young couple hugging each other. Tears flashed in his turbid eyes. He held his cane and left, leaving time and space for the couple who were deeply in love with each other. After picking up a hyacinth in the garden, he slowly walked to a grave and put the hyacinth in front of it.

Staring at the photo on the tombstone, he caressed the person in the photo over and over again with his wrinkled fingers.

"Madam, I have done it. Your granddaughter won't die alone like you. Now, you can finally rest in peace..."

Charli Hawkins could remember what her loved one looked like even before she died. She would meet him times after times in her dream but would forget all about it when she woke up. "Your granddaughter is a true talent, a once-in-a-century genius. She did what you couldn't have done. The family will be brand-new from now on. She cured the family of its most malignant cancer and the way onward will be nothing but better."

Ramiro muttered to himself, leaning at the edge of the tombstone as if he were chatting with an old friend. He did not care if his words had anyone replying to them, but just said what he wanted to say.

The setting sun pulled his shadow very long, and he slowly closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.

A gust of wind blew away the petals of the hyacinth.

"Madam, I've finally fulfilled what you asked me to do... But if there is a next life, can you love me?"

Adam took a step back from Tracey and said, "Come with me to the Xiao family later. My grandfather wants to see you."

"What? Today? I, I'm a little nervous." Tracey just woke up from the joy of recovering her memory. She didn't expect that Adam would take her home so soon.

"Why not today? When we were back home, I said I would take you back but never got the chance. My grandpa has been constantly asking about you."

"Haven't you already met Rebecca and Eliza? And my second aunt and little aunt. They are very nice people." Adam explained gently.

"Then... I will go to the room to change my clothes. By the way, I have to prepare some gifts. It's all your fault. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I don't know what they like. What if they don't like my gifts?"

Tracey walked around in the room anxiously. The Xiao family was different from the Sheng family. At that time, she was invited by Aydan Sheng, and she didn't think about bringing any gift at all. For Adam, the Xiao family was his real home. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken his mother's surname and never changed it.

And therefore, Tracey naturally cared about the Xiao family more.

Adam pulled her body and said, "Don't worry, they don't need anything. You will be the best gift for them. Believe me."

"Of course I know they don't need anything, but it's a question of courtesy, otherwise they will think I'm rude." Tracey glared at Adam. What could she possibly prepare on such short notice? "You weren't so nervous when you went to the Sheng family." Adam teased.

"It's all because of you." Tracey rushed out of the house. The R family had huge, redundant storage of antiques. She picked an oil painting and packed it up.

She also went back to her room to change into a more formal set of clothes, which showed that she thought very highly of this visit.

"Let's go." Adam saw Tracey come out dressed up. "My bunny looks beautiful no matter what."

"Nonsense," Tracey said, but her heart felt as sweet as if she had swallowed down a whole jar of honey.

The corner of Adam's mouth curled up, and he took her hand and left.

The car drove to the garden villa. Tracey had come here once before. At that time, she did not have time to go inside, so she stayed in the garden for a long time.

The Xiao family seemed to like flowers and plants quite much. There were flowers everywhere, including precious ones Tracey had never seen before.

"Why are there so many flowers and plants here? It looks like a world of fairytales." Tracey said somewhat surprised.

"My second aunt and Rebecca like flowers and plants, and so does my grandfather. They are literally addicted to raising plants."

"There are all kinds of flowers here, expensive and cheap alike. You can think of my grandfather as a self-taught botanist," explained Adam.

Tracey heard this and punched him again. "Why didn't you say so before we came? I brought your grandpa a stupid oil painting!" "What would you have done? Gone to the market and bought him some random flowers? Do you think he would prefer something he could buy anytime he wanted?"

"If not, were you gonna go to a jungle and dig out a precious flower for him? Come on, I've already said you are the best gift for them."

But how could Tracey really think so even if Adam said that? Adam might not have a mother but he had two aunts, who were just like his mothers.

A butler led them to the hall, which was usually used by family members instead of the hall for greeting guests last time.

As soon as they entered the room, Rebecca welcomed them. "Tracey, here you are. Come in, come in."

On the day of the welcome banquet, Tracey and she get familiar with each other. Rebecca and Delia were very easy to get along with, but there were several other elders in the hall.

Adam's two aunts and their husbands greeted them, "Finally, we've been waiting for ages!"

"This is my second aunt, and this is my youngest aunt." Adam introduced them one by one. Tracey greeted them politely, but she was still a little scared deep down.

Then, a man came down from upstairs, looking sharp and high-spirited. His appearance reminded Tracey somewhat of Adam and then she suddenly realized that this man must be Adam's grandpa.

"Tracey is here. Come here and let me have a look." The old man seemed to be very happy to see Tracey's arrival. He jumped down from the upstairs in a few steps. He was so strong that he didn't look like his age at all.

"Grandpa, take it easy. Bunny is not going anywhere." Adam hurried up to help him.

"That's what you said the last time, you little brat." The old man came to Tracey's side. "Not bad, not bad. I've heard quite much about your beauty and today I've finally got to verify all of what I've heard." "Grandfather... If you keep doing this, you will scare her away." Adam was speechless.

"Come, Tracey, this is a welcome gift." Master Xiao was very kind and did not seem as serious as Tracey imagined at all. He took out a jade bracelet from his trouser pocket with a smile.

Rebecca couldn't stand it anymore. "Grandpa, this is our family heirloom. You could've at least put it in a box. It looks like some ten-dollar piece of plastic you got at the Gypsy mall."

"You're right. I'll get the box right now." The old man said with a wholehearted smile on his face as if he were a child.

"There's no need, Grandpa. She wouldn't mind at all." Adam took the bracelet from the old man's hand and put it on Tracey's wrist.

Tracey was befuddled by this family. How could they just give away the family heirloom like this?
