You didn’t even stop by to see this old woman.”
“Senior, I was wrong.
As soon as I returned, I was caught up in interviews and activities by the Literature and Art Committee.
I didn’t have a moment of free time.”
Charlotte Aria stood by Madam Aria and softly said, “Hello, Master Georgia.”
Georgia Kiley glanced at her: “At the last auction of the antique ink and wash painting held by Ms.
Aria, she left a deep impression on me.
She is indeed a granddaughter brought up by my senior, carrying some of the style of her youthful years.”
Madam Aria smiled, but before she could speak, Catherine Liam suddenly jumped up and said, “So Master Georgia is actually my mother’s junior.
Our Scarlett respects Master Georgia the most.
...
I heard that Master Georgia is currently accepting disciples, what do you think about our Scarlett?
She’s the lady brought up by Madam Aria, she definitely won’t ruin your reputation…”
With a faint smile still on her face, Madam Aria didn’t reveal whether she was happy or unhappy, she directly interrupted Catherine Liam’s words, “The inheritance of the master’s lineage requires a strong bond.
Though Scarlett is talented, this path doesn’t suit her.
I heard that at the auction the other day, there was a young girl who wrote in pure Flying White Style?
Her youthful spirit is extraordinary, she seems more suitable to inherit your mantle.”
With a belly full of anger, Catherine Liam thought, ‘Is this old hag out of her mind?
Why are we not considering our own granddaughter for this wonderful opportunity and instead praising an outsider?
Has she lost her mind with age?’
Charlotte Aria pressed her lips together and, before Catherine Liam could utter a word, she said, “Sorry for causing trouble, Master Georgia.”
Georgia Kiley waved her hand, saying, “Senior, you should really meet that girl, I saw your youthful shadow in her.
If you were a bit younger, she would be a suitable disciple for you.”
Charlotte Aria bowed her head, the hand hanging by her side clenched.
Madam Aria laughed and shook her head in response to Georgia’s words.
“Madam, Lady Moon has sent her birthday wishes.”
The smile on Madam Aria’s face stiffened momentarily before she casually said, “It’s from Lady Moon, yes, sit down.”
Matthew Aria, after receiving the message from his secretary, apologized to the male guests at his table and walked over to Madam Aria, saying, “Mother, Mr.
Cook has arrived, I’ll go greet him.”
Madam Aria smiled and said, “Go ahead.”
Quickly, Matthew took his leave.
Before he left, he glanced at Charlotte Aria.
Charlotte Aria understood and quietly left from the other side.
Madam Dankworth frowned, thinking, ‘The Cooks usually keep to themselves and never attend these kinds of banquets, why now…’
Before she could think further, she saw Matthew Aria and a dignified middle-aged man walk in.
By the man’s side was an incredibly good-looking young man.
His beauty dazzled everyone’s eyes.
However, his eyebrows were too cold, chillier than the icy snow outside, making people shiver unconsciously despite his handsome appearance.
The young man was leading a little girl by her hand.
She was dressed in a cute red outfit, her hair tied in two adorable buns secured with red satin ribbons.
She was as lovely as a New Year’s painting with her bright red lips, white teeth, and lively eyes, making people want to pinch her rosy, white cheeks.
The little girl rushed over and performed a respectful salute in front of Granny Aria.
Her beautiful face was shining brightly by the fur on her collar, appearing extraordinarily cute.
She opened her mouth with clear and crisp articulation.
“Granny Aria, hello, my name is Sheila Cook.
I have come to wish you a happy birthday.
May you be as happy and blessed every day and every year.”
The little girl’s voice was so cute and her demeanor lively and adorable.
Granny Aria laughed heartily, unable to resist holding the little girl in her arms and touching her face.
“My hands are rough.
I hope I didn’t hurt you,” she said.
The little girl laughed, looking up, “I know Granny likes me, that’s why you touched me.”
“What a cute little girl.
Mr.
Cook is lucky to have such an obedient, lovely daughter by his side.” Master Georgia couldn’t help but praise.
Anton Cook couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile on his face.
This girl held a persuasive charm.
Granny Aria laughed, “She’s a beautiful girl and blessed too.
Granny likes you very much.
Will you come see Granny more often?”
Sheila Cook hugged Granny with her eyes curving into crescents, “Of course, I love grandmother too.”
Granny Aria held the girl and laughed joyously.
Looking at her own subdued daughter Oddette, Madam Dankworth sighed.
Why was the gap between the two girls so huge?
This Cello Cook is indeed impressive, his daughter is so clever, she was able to win the heart of the old lady of the Aria family at their first meeting.
Everyone knows that Granny Aria looks gentle but is actually quite difficult to approach.
Seeing the scene, Matthew Aria couldn’t help but smile.
Suddenly, his secretary briskly approached him and whispered a few words into his ears.
Matthew Aria’s face changed dramatically and he turned to leave but then remembered Cello Cook.
He bravely said, “Excuse me, Mr.
Cook, Mr.
Lewis is coming.”
Everyone was shocked.
Granny Aria indeed carries weight, with Mr.
Cook and Mr.
Chen showing up one after the other to wish her a happy birthday.
