Chapter 14 Although the Old Masters hair had turned white with age, he still exuded an air of elegance and refinement.
Rita walked into the room.
She only took a glance at him and her eyes were wet.
The Old Masterwas aged and his movements were not very agile.
Hemanaged to set down his teacup and greet Rita with a trembling hand, Rita? Tears streamed down Ritas face as she hurriedly made her way to his side.
Sheknelt down, rested her head on his lap, and stifled her sobs.
Grandpa, its me.
Youre finally back.
The old man ran his fingers through her hair and sighed with relief.
Its good that youre back.
Its good.
Rita thought of the scenewhen she was first brought to the Wallis family byOld Master.
She had lost everything, but the OldMasterhad become her sanctuary.
With him by her side, she felt safe and secure.
He meant a home to her.

The touch of his hand on her hair was enough to heal all her wounds.
The butler, who had been silently observing the heartwarming reunion, was also moved.
Lady Rita, the Old Master couldnt be happier now that youve returned.
You dont know how much he suffered during your absence.
Every night, he sat by the window, gazing out into the darkness, hoping and waiting for Ritas return.
Rita sobbed.
Grandpa, Im sorry.
Im so sorry.
The old man patted her head and said, Its alright, youre back now.
Thats all that matters.Its Grandpas fault.
Your grandmother entrusted you to me before she died, but I failed her.
And about Nelson… Im sorry, Rita.
Ever since Rita disappeared, the old man hadbanned Nelson from entering the old house.
Back then, he felt that he was in poor health.
He was afraid that when he left in the future, no one would take care of Rita, so he let his grandson marry her.

He thought that marriage could ensure Rita would be properly protected by the Wallis family.
Unexpectedly, it was this marriage that brought the greatest pain to Rita.
Rita listened to the old mans words, and her eyes were full of tears.
No, grandpa, its me who is unfilial.
She hadnt been able to stay by his side to take care of him all these years.
As she lay with her head on his lap, she could feel her grandfathers legs trembling slightly, a sign of his poor health over the years.
Its all right, Rita.
As long as youre alive, grandpa will be happy.
The old mans love for Rita surpassed that of any other descendant of the Wallis family.
Except for Sienna, who had no objections to this, the others harbored some resentment.
Therefore, Nelson soon knew about Ritas whereabout.
When Ken reported the news to him, Nelsons face darkened.
There werent many people in the old house who were fond of Rita, and her mother especially hated her.
If she went back now, wouldnt she be walking into the lions den? Postpone the follow-up schedules.
Get a car ready.

I want to go back to the old house, Nelson made a quick decision.
But you have an appointment with Miss Bach for tonight, she… Ken said.
Before he could finish his words, he saw the expression on his bosss face.
He said nothing more and arranged for the car.
When Nelson arrived, the servants had already begun serving the dishes.
His return after three years caused a stir in the house, and the atmosphere suddenly changed.
When Emma saw him, her face turned cold.
Why are you back? Nelson was silent.
He hadnt been home for so many years, and aside from not being favored by his grandfather, he had not been welcomed by his mother either.
Strangely, when Rita was still in the Wallis family, Emma didnt like her very much.
But after she disappeared, Emma didnt show any good attitude to those who were involved in that accident, including her own son.
While Nelson was lost in thought, Rita helped the old man down the stairs.
When she saw Nelson standing in the hall, she was a little surprised.
Didnt Sienna say that he hadnt returned to the old house for three years? Why was he here now? Is it because he knows that Im here? So he is afraid that Ill affect the harmony in his family? thought Rita.
Just as she was deep in thought, she heard the old mans angry roar.
I thought I made it clear you werent wanted here.Get lost! Rita, … Nelson, …
