Chapter 455: A woman with an ulterior motive
-Mum, can I invite my best friend to our house?
One day, after kindergarten, Cecilia suddenly took Vanessa’s hand and leaned over to whisper mysteriously in her ear.
Vanessa thought her daughter was going to tell her some secret, but it turned out that she just wanted to invite her best friend to her house. Vanessa was happy to agree to such a small request. She also wanted her daughter to have more friends and to be lively and cheerful.
-Of course, who would you like to invite, Candy? Is it Nana?
-Hey, how did Mum know I wanted to invite Nana?
-It was dad who told me. Dad said you had a good friend in the nursery that you couldn’t leave for a while every day after school. I guess the best friend Candy is going to invite must be Nana.
-That’s right, I want to invite Nana, so mommy, let’s prepare a delicious meal at home and invite Nana to play with us when daycare ends at the weekend, okay?
-All right. But since Nana is Candy’s best friend, when Candy comes to our house, Candy will take care of her. Can you do that?
Vanessa said this because she wanted to train her daughter’s skills.
The girl nodded her head with special seriousness and promised.
-Of course I will. Don’t worry, Mum, I’ll be sure to entertain Nana.
-Well, then, let’s wait for that day together.
When Dylan returned, Vanessa also told him about Cecilia’s invitation for her best friend to spend the weekend at home. She smiled when she heard her daughter assure her that she would entertain her best friend herself.
-Our child is growing up.
Dylan said with a look of excitement, clearly only three years old but very understanding.
How could I not love such a child?
It was the weekend.
In anticipation of Nana’s arrival, Vanessa’s girls went to the supermarket the day before and bought everything they needed. Cecilia got up early the next morning and followed Vanessa to make some simple biscuits.
By the time the biscuits were ready, Nana had almost arrived.
-Ding-dong.
-Mum, it must be Nana.
Cecilia shouted excitedly as she immediately heard the doorbell ring.
-Then Candy goes and opens the door and be careful. Be polite and say hello when you see Nana’s mother, okay?
-Mmm.
Cecilia nodded and trotted to the door. She gave no instructions to the Fatty robot, but tiptoed open the door herself.
On the other side of the door were indeed Nana and Nana’s mother, Iris Lacasa.
-Candy, hi.
Nana greeted Cecilia with a smile as soon as she saw her and handed her the gift she had brought: “I chose this, I hope Candy likes it.
-Thank you.
Cecilia thanked her cheerfully and took Nana’s gift in both hands.
Iris Lacasa watched with a smile as the two girls finished their greetings before greeting Cecilia.
-Hi Candy, I’m Nana’s mother, I’m glad you invited Nana to your house.
-Aunty, it’s a pleasure to meet you, come on in, guys.
Cecilia happily stepped aside and let them both in.
Inviting Nana to sit with Iris, Cecilia then eagerly went to the kitchen to bring the tray with the small biscuits Vanessa had given her, while the tray Vanessa was carrying contained several glasses of freshly squeezed juice.
-Hello, you’re Nana’s mother, right? I’m Candy’s mother, Vanessa.
-Hello.
Iris stood up hurriedly and greeted Vanessa with a smile.
-Sit down, you are welcome, Nana is the first friend that Candy has invited and she has made a lot of preparations for today. Here, Candy also made the biscuits on the plate with me, she said she wanted to treat her good friend.
-Really? The biscuits look great, Candy is amazing.
Iris sniffed the cute little animal-shaped biscuits on the tray and could smell the sweet, creamy aroma – it was especially great.
He could not help but pay a compliment.
-Nana, try the biscuits I baked, Mummy says they’re delicious.
-Thank you.
Nana smiled as she took the biscuits handed to her by Cecilia and the two girls ate them happily.
After eating the biscuits, Cecilia asked the two adults for permission to take Nana to her room to play.
-Why don’t we go for a walk in the garden while the children play on their own?
-Of course.
Probably because they are both mothers and the two children are especially close friends, Vanessa and Iris got to know each other quickly.
Nana and Iris did not leave that day until the afternoon.
Cecilia and Vanessa took them to the car and the two girls said goodbye before returning home.

In the back child seat, Nana is asleep.
Iris Lacasa’s friendly smile disappears at that moment and she looks in the rear-view mirror at her sleeping daughter before stopping the car. She went out the door, picked up her mobile phone and dialled a number.
-Hello, I’ve been in contact with Vanessa today. Don’t worry, I have Nana. …
Oblivious to all this Vanessa was glad that her daughter had been able to entertain her friend properly and went back to sleep with the little girl, just in time to wake up when Dylan returned.
-How did Candy behave today and did Nana have a good time at our house?
-Nana was very happy and said she liked our house. Nana even asked me why I didn’t see daddy and said she was envious when she saw him pick me up earlier at the nursery,” Cecilia suddenly lost her temper and bit her lip as she said. Nana said her father had gone away and wouldn’t be back for a long, long time.
Dylan and Vanessa looked at each other and both understood what was happening.
-Dad, has Nana’s father passed away? Just like Nana’s grandmother. Because she passed away and she won’t see him again, so he went far, far away. Nana is very sad, it will be better for her.
Without waiting for Vanessa and Dylan to propose something to reassure her, Cecilia took a firm stance.
I had no idea what it meant to die, so I felt sorry for Nana and wanted to be better for her.
His daughter was the kindest of all.
Vanessa and Dylan looked at each other, their eyes full of affection for their daughter.
After this meeting, Nana invited Cecilia to her house, and Vanessa joined her. As time went by, they grew closer and closer, and sometimes they even went out together.
Of course, Dylan was not present on either occasion and only had a chauffeur and a bodyguard.
After all, Nana was a single mother and Dylan couldn’t afford to go to parties.
The days passed uneventfully, and after the Pomar family affair there was no more mischief, it was as if the other party had disappeared.
