Chapter 69 Uncle

"Nancy, come here. This is your uncle."

The shy and soft girl walked back cautiously and stood beside her mother obediently. She then raised a delicate face slightly and looked at the middle-aged man timidly.

"Uncle."

She addressed her uncle tenderly and grabbed her mother's hand nervously. As expected, her uncle was as dignified as her mother said, making the child stand in front of him couldn't help but want to be nice.

"Hmm." The middle-aged man also looked at the girl and nodded slowly, not showing too much enthusiasm, but also not giving people an impression that he was cold and distant.

"What do you think of this tree?"

He stood uprightly under the tree and raised his chin slightly. He stared at the ginkgo tree with his wise eyes behind his glasses, seemingly indifferent, but it was just like he was looking at some old friend. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Nancy glanced at him and looked at the ginkgo tree too. Her voice was soft and tender.

"It greeted me just now, and I heard them say hello."

John Baker averted his gaze slightly when he heard the words. "Why them?"

Nancy tried hard not to be nervous and spoke to him in a soft voice. Although she spoke slowly, the articulation was clear and her voice was soft, which made it pleasant to listen to.

She shook her head honestly, "I don't know. I heard a lot of voices."

John broke into a faint smile, and he beckoned to her naturally. Nancy took a look at her parents. After they nodded as a sign, she went over.

John's gentle big palm fell on top of her head. He pressed her head neither lightly nor heavily.

"It's good that you're back."

The old tree had a spirit, and the child was witty. She was a rare innocent and nimble child.

Nancy stood beside her uncle. When she heard the words, her eyebrows and eyes were dancing with laughter. She nudged her furry head against his palm.

The old mansion of the Baker family was very quiet, but it was not that kind of loneliness. It was a sense of tranquility that made people feel calm.

At this time, a beautiful woman in traditional apparel walked out. When she was just standing there, one could feel a kind of firm ancient beauty in her. She was just like a beauty who walked out of a painting. Her whole body was filled with an elegant style.

"This is your aunt."

Windy patted Nancy's little head lightly to introduce the beautiful woman, then she nodded to the woman and laughed.

"Sister-in-law."

"Aunt."

Nancy also greeted the woman obediently and softly. The beautiful woman revealed a smile. She was already in her fifties, but time seemed to produce no effect on her, except for the bit of white

hair that was amidst her hair. She seemed to be as charming as when she was young.

"Nancy, come here."

The voice of the beauty in traditional apparel was gentle, and when she smiled, there was a calming warmth in her eyes.

Looking at the beauty, the girl walked slowly over. Her aunt caught her slender, little hand and carefully observed her with a smile.

"It's great. You're very similar to your grandmother, and you'll be a famous beauty in the future. When you grow up, your father and brothers will be filled with headaches."

Her aunt spoke softly and warmly, and Nancy liked her aunt very much. She couldn't help but get a little closer, but there was a little confusion in her clear eyes about what her aunt had said. However, she was more concerned about another point.

"Aunt, do you know my grandma too?"

The beauty in traditional apparel nodded slowly. She took Nancy's little hand and walked into the mansion slowly. She looked up at the sky as if recalling something, and she smiled slowly.

"Yeah, she's the goddess of me and your mother."

Nancy's eyes widened. Her grandmother was amazing. So many people remembered her and admired her.

Of course, after listening to her mother tell a lot of stories about her grandmother, Nancy also admired her grandmother very much, but unfortunately, she could no longer see her grandmother. There was only a photo of her grandmother that she carefully kept with her.

Walking through the richly ornamented corridor, Nancy saw many beautiful and elegant rockery, pools, and various flowers that are growing well. Nancy found it hard to look at everything.

The courtyard house was different from those villas that were stylish and luxurious at first glance, and it was exquisite everywhere. It had another style of beauty.

After sitting down in the living room, Nancy's aunt poured tea for everyone charmingly and elegantly. They sat on wooden chairs, and no one spoke. They just sipped tea quietly, but it didn't make people feel dull and depressed. On the contrary, there was a sense of silence and leisurely elegance in the beautiful scenery.

"When Nancy came back, we were too busy to visit. I'll take your sister-in-law with us on her birthday. Ivan is coming back soon, but I still can't get in touch with Shawn. If he can come back on Nancy's birthday, we'll take him there."

Windy nodded. "We understand the situation on Shawny's side, but Van is back? When was it?"

"He said tomorrow, but you're aware of his character too. Maybe he'll give us a surprise."

Nancy held the cup of tea and sipped it. The emerald green tea was like a crystal clear jade in the purple clay teacup. The white misty water vapor wafted to the tip of the nose with a faint tea fragrance. It smelled very good.

Nancy blew on the tea and took a sip again. Her clean eyes sparkled with love, like a small crescent moon, and her well-behaved face looked very happy.

The beautiful aunt in traditional apparel smiled even more when she saw it. She couldn't help pinching Nancy's little face.

She only had two sons, and she liked this sweet and soft little girl from her sister-in-law's family very much.

The little girl had a soft temper and let her aunt pinch her plump cheeks. It might be because of her shyness that a peach blossom-like pink appeared on her fair face. Her pink and tender face looked very obedient and soft.

She sat on the side obediently and did not speak, but she was all ears, listening to the adults' conversation seriously.

From their conversation, she could probably guess that the person who was coming home was her second cousin, and that was the cousin who liked to draw.

She just didn't know what the surprise they mentioned was.

In the meantime, Nancy's uncle and aunt went to the study. When they were back, her aunt put a green jade bracelet on Nancy's small wrist.

"This is the jade bracelet I wore when I was a child, and I don't have a girl at home. So, I'll leave it in your care."

The emerald green and crystal jade bracelet looked good on Nancy's white wrist, but her intuition told her that it should be very precious. Nancy looked at her mother nervously.

Windy was a little surprised. "My sister-in-law, isn't this... This is something you have been wearing since childhood."

It seemed that this bracelet was precious to her aunt.

The beauty in traditional apparel just smiled faintly. "What precious is only the friendship of the person who gave it to me. Well, it's just an object. Someone has to wear it and cherish it. It's been kept for a long time. It's a waste of it."

Seeing this, Windy no longer discouraged Nancy's aunt, and she just nodded to Nancy. "You have to accept the things given by elders. Nancy, just accept it."

Nancy merely said, "Hmm." She then put her white hands on her knees and said thanks to the woman softly and sincerely.

"Thank you, aunt. I'll cherish it properly."

The woman smiled and rubbed Nancy's head.

At this time, her dignified uncle also pushed a wooden box toward her.

"This is a gift from me." "

Nancy looked at him eagerly. "Can I open it?"

John raised his hand, took a sip of tea, and nodded slowly.
