Chapter 1018 - Trials From Rufina

Hearing those words, Erika lowered her eyes.

She did not answer Merry quickly, but rubbed the teacup lightly, and then wisely asked, "Merry, do you really want me to come back?"

Merry frowned, her eyes glanced and smiled at Chris.

Even though the little girl had a simple mind, she saw things more thoroughly than Samuel.

She held her mother's cheek gently, and comforted her. "Mom, don't worry about whether I want you or not. I'm saying that I support all of your decisions. I'm not joking at all. If you really don't want to come back, then… Can I come here more often? As long as I can contact you and meet you when I miss you, for me, that'll be more than enough."

Erika's breath was slightly choked, and she raised her head to look at Merry who was watching her sincerely. A warm current crossed her heart.

Merry was wiser than she thought.

Even though Erika didn't want to disappoint this child, she really had no plans to return. into that golden cage called the Hiroshi mansion.

And these words had no doubt lightened the burden on her heart.

Erika pursed her lips, smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you my new number later. If you want to come, you can come anytime…"

After hearing this, Merry got the answer. It seems that her mother will not come back to Surabaya with them.

The little girl blinked, then nodded with a heavy heart. "Okay, then I will come often to play! However, I don't want to go back for now. I came to Jakarta just to look for you, and I haven't had a chance to go out and sightseeing…"

After speaking, Merry glanced at Erika shyly.

This kind of cautious thought was almost clear in Erika's eyes. She smiled and reached out her hand to pinch Merry's face. "Yeah, it seems like it was really hard for this little princess of mine to travel a long distance just to find me this time. To convey my apology, how about I invite you to have some fun in Jakarta in the next few days?!"

Merry immediately raised her eyebrows, took Erika's hand back, and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "You are the best!"

If Merry is there, jokes and laughter will never stop filling the air.

Chris saw the appearance of this little girl, looking smart and charming with her eyes full of deceit.

After a while, Rufina walked out of the ancestor hall.

The beads hanging on her chest were back in her hand again, and in her other hand held a red brocade box the size of a palm.

"Grandma!"

Merry's chair faced the direction of the ancestral hall, and when she saw Rufina's figure, she immediately called out.

Rufina smiled and nodded from a distance, but her gaze flew between Chris and Erika.

By the way, she and her husband had a very good impression of Chris.

This kid is much stronger than the bastard called Samuel!

If Erika could be with Chris, that would be the best option.

In fact, the three of them sat together like family!

Erika and Chris. "..."

Rufina strolled into the pavilion, the other three got up to greet.

After she sat down, she pulled Merry to her side. "Dear, when we first met, grandma didn't prepare anything good for you. This bracelet was originally intended to be passed on to your mother. But she wasn't lucky enough to carry this. Come on, see if you like it or not. If you like it, I will give it to you."

In this case, Merry was flattered.

She waved her hand back and said, "Grandma, you don't need to give me a present. Because it's for my mom, it's better for her to wear it. I'm always running and jumping. I'm afraid I'll just ruin it if you give it to me!"

"No problem. If it breaks, it will break. I still want to give it to you!" Rufina said as she took out a green jade bracelet from the brocade box. Its unique color gave the impression of luxury and preciousness at first glance.

The little girl looked at the bracelet, then glanced at Erika who looked lonely.

She knew that the relationship between her mother and grandmother has not been repaired, and in such a state, she cannot receive this special gift.

After seeing this, Merry's big eyes quickly rolled over. Seeing that her grandmother had already grabbed her wrist to put her on, the little girl smiled. "Do you really want to give it to me?"

Rufina calmly replied, "Of course."

"Then, I will accept it. Thank you, grandma!" Merry has a sweet mouth, smiling like a sweet little child.

Seeing that she had taken the bracelet herself, Rufina no longer insisted on wearing it for her.

Unexpectedly, the child ran up to Erika in the next second while holding the bracelet, and handed it to her like a treasure. "Mom, grandma gave it to me, is it pretty?"

Erika looked at the bracelet which was her family's inheritance and put on a fake smile. "It looks good."

"Then you can wear it for me!"

This scene made Rufina's brows furrow.

Although this child is playful, it seems that she has never understood manners.

Knowing that it belongs to her mother's bracelet, she is still showing off like this. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

After all, she is still young, and has never seen much of the outside world.

It was undeniable that Rufina gave this bracelet with the intention of testing Merry.

After all, she wasn't her real granddaughter, and if it weren't for her being the child that Erika raised, she wouldn't have looked that much fun to her.

Fun is fun, but she couldn't just turn her back and ignore the fact that the little girl didn't share the same blood as her.

Thinking about it, the smile at the corner of Rufina's lips gradually faded.

She is seated firmly, paying attention to every movement that Merry makes.

At this time, Erika suppressed the pain in her heart, and her face was as usual as she took that bracelet. The woman then gently pulled Merry to put it on her wrist.

But –

"Ouch, it hurts!"

The little girl suddenly screamed in pain, and made Erika suddenly freeze.

Merry wept and looked at her, quietly propping up her joints to clamp the bracelet.

Her little hand was in a bit of pain, as if there was a needle in her bracelet.

Erika looked at her and rubbed her palms, then planned to try again.

It is a pity that the little girl's painful voice is endless.

She didn't know if it was real pain or fake pain, however, she shouted very seriously.

And Chris always felt his chest tightening on him when he watched this!

At this moment, Erika felt that something was wrong. She placed the bracelet on the table, and continued to rub the little girl's palms with both hands. "Merry, does it hurt?"

Merry nodded sadly. "It hurts so bad I can't even wear it. Maybe my hands are too big! So... Mom, just try it."

After that, the little girl took the bracelet, caught Erika's palm and twisted her wrist.

"Wow it looks good if you wear it! It seems that my hands are so big that I can't wear such a beautiful bracelet."

Merry sarcastically looked at Rufina, running into the old woman's surprised look, and smiled. "Grandma, the bracelet doesn't fit in my hand, so I give it to my mother!"
