A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1549 Moved

With an obedient nod, Amy blissfully said, “Grandpa had nothing to worry about. I was very good while you were away.“

Taylor's spirits were lifted up the moment she heard her daughter's innocent and cute response. It was as if all the sorrows in her heart had been blown away by the wind. With a contented smile, Taylor held Amy's chubby little hand and asked, “So what do you want to eat tonight? Mommy will cook anything you ask for, okay?“

Amy's big eyes lit up like fireworks when she heard her mother. She nodded again, this time in a very excited manner. Then, she exclaimed, “Really? That's great! I've missed your cooking, Mom. I haven't eaten anything you've made in such a long time!“

While all of this was happening, Louis was idly standing beside them and watching. Their joyful conversation amused him and brought a smile to his face. When they were done speaking, he squatted down and tried to match his height with Amy's. While chuckling, he asked, “Aren't you going to give Daddy a hug?“

“Of course, Daddy!“ Amy excitedly said while wrapping her arms around his neck. She couldn't stop giggling and smiling now that both of her parents were home.

Janet's parents quietly watched their little family's reunion. They couldn't comprehend what was going on in front of them.

Just a few minutes ago, Amy had called Hunk “Grandpa.“ And now, she was referring to Louis as “Daddy.“

The couple only had one question in mind. Could it be that Amy was actually Louis' illegitimate child?

Hunk quickly took notice of the curiosity in the parents' eyes and decided to explain everything to them. But before doing so, he cleared his throat and smiled. “Kace, Juliat, let me introduce my wonderful family to you. This little girl's name is Amy. She's my extremely cute granddaughter. As for the woman behind her, her name is Taylor, the most wonderful daughter-in-law I could ever ask for.“

Kace, Janet's father, frowned as soon as he heard Hunk's explanation. He had no clue what was going on, so he asked in a mildly peeved voice, “Hunk, what are you talking about?“

Filled with confidence, Hunk proudly answered, “Amy is Louis and Taylor's beautiful daughter. Obviously, that makes her my granddaughter. Since your family is rich and powerful, I'm guessing you don't agree with allowing your daughter to marry a man who already has a child from another relationship.“

Kace's and Juliat's jaws dropped when their suspicions were confirmed. Meanwhile, Taylor was shocked as well by what was going on.

It was the first time that Hunk had introduced her as his daughter-in-law to anyone. In her mind, she had honestly thought that he would never do so.

With this sudden revelation, Juliat couldn't help but feel restless. Her irritation grew with every second that passed. Eventually, she snapped. “How could you say that? Who do you think we are?“

Even when things were starting to get heated, Hunk remained calm. With a smile on his face, he replied, “Please, don't be upset. I promise I'll visit you one of these days and give you an official apology.“

At that moment, Juliat was utterly speechless. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't think of a way to find fault in him. Even if they had agreed to let Janet go out with Louis, the two weren't in any kind of relationship. Given the circumstance, Louis had done nothing wrong. Since Hunk had already

said that he would visit them and apologize for the misunderstanding, the couple realized that saying anything else would only cause the air around them to become even more awkward.

With this in mind, Kace knew they didn't have any more reason to stay at the manor. Even if he had a sour look on his face, he still managed to say a proper goodbye. “Since you already have a daughter- in-law, we'll be on our way.“

Before leaving, Juliat wanted to give Hunk a piece of her mind. Unfortunately, Kace gave her a threatening gaze before she could open her mouth. In the end, she simply gritted her teeth and said, “We're leaving for now, so long.“

With a subtle nod, Hunk replied, “All right. I'm sorry I won't be able to send you off personally. My family is about to have dinner and they'll get mad at me if I come to the table late.“

After that, Janet's parents left the house with pale and disgruntled looks on their faces.

Even though Janet's parents were clearly annoyed, Janet herself felt a sense of relief. She even stuck her tongue out and made silly faces to mock her parents behind their backs. Just before getting into the car, she cast a glance in Louis' direction and silently waved him goodbye.

She was quite glad that she didn't have to deal with this problem anymore.

When everything was settled, Taylor felt a warm, comfy sensation in her heart. But instead of saying it out loud, she just pinched Amy's little face and smiled at her.

The fact that Hunk had stood up for her and even called her his daughter-in-law was something she didn't think would ever happen. Right at that moment, while holding Louis' hand, she couldn't help but feel like they were one big happy family.

“Thank you, all of you!“ Taylor meekly uttered while tears started forming in her eyes. Louis noticed that she was about to cry. So, he wrapped his arm around her to get her to calm down.

The two of them came from completely different backgrounds. Taylor had always thought that it was naive to believe that they would end up together. But now, she was holding the hand of the man she loved, proving that not all things in life were impossible to attain. Even the Ke family, which was a rich and powerful family, had chosen to be on her side. How could Taylor not get emotional at that moment?

“You don't have to thank me. We're a family. We support each other no matter what happens. That's what it means to be a family. And besides, do you really think my father would give up the chance to be Amy's grandfather?“ Louis winked at the child as soon as he was finished speaking. Amy, who was extremely quick-witted for her age, kept saying “Grandpa“ over and over again. As a result, Hunk couldn't stop smiling and chuckling to himself.

“Hey there, I didn't choose her to be my granddaughter. But families have to protect each other as much as they can. I'm sure that in the future, our family will be even closer and happier than now. We'll all live a better life together! Don't you agree, my dear Amy?“ No matter how hard Hunk tried, he couldn't stop talking about how much he loved his granddaughter.

The love that Hunk had for Amy made Taylor more emotional than she already was. It was becoming too much for her to handle. Her nose started twitching while tears quickly ran down her cheeks. At that moment, she was so grateful to be considered as part of the family. She was just a normal woman with no riches or power to her name. But Hunk proudly called her his daughter-in-law. He even took care of her daughter like she was his own child. After sobbing for a while, Taylor realized how miserable she looked, so she took a handkerchief from her bag to quickly wipe away her tears.

Seeing the tears of joy in Taylor's face softened Louis' heart as well. But instead of crying, he made fun of their situation to lighten the mood. “Grandpa doesn't sound like his usual self. He keeps talking about family, love, and having each other's backs. Did you do something to him, Amy?“

His words brought even more joy to Taylor's heart. She wanted to thank him but she was too embarrassed to get sappy in front of Hunk. As a result, she nudged Louis on the elbow and lovingly looked into his eyes.

Even though the couple tried to be discreet, the old man still saw what was going on. He wasn't annoyed by young love. Instead, he became even more blissful. “Taylor, don't forget that we're a family now. No matter what happens, as long as Amy and I are here, you can always consider this house your own home.“

“Wow, you're such a good grandpa!“ Amy exclaimed while her chubby cheeks formed a grin. After that, she clung on to Hunk, not willing to let him go until he carried her.

Taylor and Louis exchanged looks. They gazed at each other fondly, their eyes full of gratitude and love. They were both relieved that the problem with Janet's family was finally resolved.

“Oh, my Amy is such a smart and sweet girl. Grandpa is so happy whenever I see you. People always say that skipped generations are fond of each other. That must be the case with us! Amy, tell Grandpa what you want to eat today,“ Hunk said to the little girl. The more time he spent with the child, the more reluctant he was to let her go.

Amy was considerate enough to get down from the old man's arms. “Mom said that children should always be respectful towards elders. Since I'm getting a bit older and a little bit heavier, I'll just hold your hand from now on, Grandpa.“

The way she said it in a serious way while having a cute look on her face made everyone laugh. It was such a happy moment that would certainly be in their hearts forever.

“Okay, that's great. When you get a little older, Amy, Grandpa will always hold your hand. You can watch and care for me as I grow old, okay?“ Hunk replied in an attempt to tease Amy.

However, Amy didn't like what he said. Her big bubbly eyes stared straight at Hunk's eyes while she corrected the old man. “Grandpa will never get old! I won't allow it! When I grow up, I want you to be the same age as you are right now.“

For a moment, even Louis' eyes became tearful. Memories from his days as a young man came rushing into his mind. He immediately felt regretful for making Hunk worry about him so much.

After a while, Louis noticed that it was time to eat. He winked at Amy and said, “Since Amy is such a kind girl, can you help set up the table for today?“ Since everyone had had a pretty rough day, Louis was worried that they were all starving by that point. He wanted to make sure that no one went to bed with an empty stomach.

While Louis and Amy were on their way to the kitchen, Taylor followed them to help. Doing housework was something she was extremely used to, especially since she had been taking care of everyone around her for such a long time. Not only had she taken care of Amy all by herself, but she also knew about what old people should eat. It was inevitable that the longer she stayed with Hunk, the more praise she would get from him.

After dinner, it seemed that trouble was brewing again. The couple childishly fought over who would wash the dishes.

“This is a woman's job! What are you doing? Put them down!“ Taylor exclaimed with a peeved expression on her face. She didn't want Louis to touch the plates and cutlery.

To add to her problems, Amy wanted to let her mom relax from working hard all day. “Mommy, you should ask me to do the dishes. I'm older now and I promise you I'll wash them clean.“Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
