Chapter 864 The Elders of the Rodriguez Family Are Very Kind
Bob, worried about Melissa feeling awkward, gave her a reassuring look and answered on her behalf, "Mother, Melissa and I think the same way. It's definitely better for them to be together!"
Melissa said, "Yes, Mrs. Rodriguez, I hope Lawrence's family will be happy."
Leah glanced at Melissa secretly, feeling satisfied.
She was worried that Bob would have no one to take care of him in the future. With a kind-hearted Melissa by his side, Leah could rest easy even after she passed away.
Melissa, with her kind heart, had helped Bob buy the Rodriguez Villa during their most difficult times.
The Rodriguez Family was well aware of this kindness.
Leah smiled, leaning on her cane, "Who wouldn't agree? Elders just hope for their children and grandchildren to be happy. Lawrence, Winnie, don't make us worry anymore."
Winnie was speechless and firmly explained, "Mrs. Rodriguez, Lawrence and I really haven't..."
"If you haven't reconciled, then you haven't. But you're here to pick up the kids today, so you should at least stay for a meal, right?" Leah smiled kindly, "You haven't seen me in a while, come in and visit. After all, I did help you back then."
That was true.
Leah had been kind to Winnie from their first meeting.
Later, she was also very good to Sidney, and now she had accepted her two sons.
Sidney said, "Mommy! You should go in. The Rodriguez Family spoils us. Great-grandma even feeds me and Oscar, Grandpa buys us food, Anday buys us toys, and Sean hasn't even played with them yet. Even Amy, who wasn't nice to me before, is very polite now."
Unexpectedly, the once divided Rodriguez Family, after moving out of their grand estate and into this small house, had become more harmonious.
In such an atmosphere, Winnie was willing to leave her children here often.
She smiled, patting her sons' heads, and followed them inside.
She had expected the Rodriguez Family's living room to be clean and serious, but it was filled with children's toys.
In the adjacent room, there was even a life-sized slide and a ball pit.
Winnie was astonished; this was nothing like the Rodriguez Family she remembered.
It seemed that the smiles on Sidney and Oscar's faces were genuine. The Rodriguez Family elders were indeed very good to them, treating the two highly intelligent children with great affection.
Winnie felt a bit strange inside and stole a glance at the serious and upright Lawrence.
She remained silent, lowering her head.
"Winnie." At this moment, Leah walked over, smiling broadly, "The Rodriguez Family went through a tough time after our downfall. Thanks to the two children you gave birth to, our family has found joy again. Look at how happy they are. Oscar may be more reserved, but when he plays soccer with Lawrence, his childlike nature shines through.""The old Rodriguez Family was indeed more pretentious and lacked a sense of home." Even the always aloof Bob agreed. He glanced at Winnie, softening his tone, "I misjudged Ishara before, Winnie. I owe you an apology! You are kind to Lawrence.."
Lawrence said, "Dad, Winnie is a good girl. Her marriage to Rock was a deception. Since she announced her divorce today, netizens have been saying that she should get back together with me. They also say that from the beginning, the one who truly loved her was me. So, Winnie and I actually care for each other."
"Lawrence." Winnie, mindful of the Rodriguez Family's reputation, could only warn him softly, asking him not to confess to her at every opportunity.
She had no such thoughts at the moment.
"Lawrence, that's enough. Don't make Winnie feel uncomfortable." Melissa tugged at Lawrence's shirt, signaling him to stop.
Bob also looked at Lawrence, "Don't push your luck."
Lawrence replied, "Alright."
"Winnie, shall we go play with the kids?" Melissa, staying with the Rodriguez Family, didn't feel entirely at ease either.
Winnie noticed this and nodded, following Melissa to the lawn to play soccer with the kids.
Lawrence, with his hands in his trouser pockets, turned to look at the serious Bob, raising an eyebrow, "Dad, I have something to ask you."
Bob, having some idea, strode to the side, away from Leah.
Only then did he speak, "Go ahead and ask."
"Did you invite my mother?"
"Yes." Bob's expression was calm as he countered, "Is that not allowed?"
"I want to know why you specifically invited her to our home." Lawrence was concerned about everything related to Melissa.
He was particularly surprised by Bob's actions towards Melissa.
Bob was known to be cold and unapproachable, with no scandals throughout his life.
This question was sharp, and Bob knew Lawrence wanted to expose him.
Feeling awkward, Bob's deep eyes flickered, unwilling to discuss other matters. He simply said, "I remember your mother's help back then. Also, it's to make Winnie feel less awkward in the Rodriguez Family. After all, she and your mother have a decent relationship. Having them both here for a meal gives them someone to talk to, doesn't it?"
Lawrence looked at Bob, who was evading the topic, and felt like laughing.
Bob invited Melissa for Winnie's sake?
He couldn't even lie convincingly.
But of course, he wouldn't expose Bob's thoughts. Perhaps Bob, while grateful to Melissa, also admired her.
After all, no man could resist a woman who was wholeheartedly devoted to him.
Having experienced a wife like Hellen, Bob might now understand better what he needed in the latter half of his life.
Lawrence was happy to see this.
He knew that Melissa deeply admired Bob. If there was a chance for them, Melissa would be very happy.
"Alright. Then I'll bring Winnie over often in the future, so she won't feel awkward in the Rodriguez Family. You can also invite my mother over to see her grandsons more often, so Sidney and Oscar don't have to run back and forth." Lawrence raised an eyebrow mischievously.
Bob coughed heavily, scolding him, "Got it. Now go make dinner!"
"Why should I cook? It's your turn to cook for the kids today." Lawrence pointed to the schedule, "Look at the schedule, Oscar prefers your cooking."
Bob glared at him fiercely.
There was no choice. To keep Sidney and Oscar, everyone in the Rodriguez Family had been doing their best these days.
"Oscar, Mommy wants to ask you, are you happy staying here?" On the lawn, Winnie quietly asked the more perceptive Oscar.
Oscar's small hand moved over the computer, closing some information. He looked up with calm eyes, "Mommy, if my answer will affect whether you reconcile with bad daddy, then I won't answer."
"Of course it won't affect that. I just want to know, are you happy?"
