Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 262

Old Mr. Xander glanced at his son and thought for a moment before saying, “Alright, she can stay at your place.” He thought that it was fine as long as Annalise was Lee’s biological daughter. No matter what Heather had done wrong in the past, the child was innocent. Moreover, Lee’s illness gradually recovered after Annalise’s arrival. One of the reasons was probably due to Annalise’s superb medical skills, and the other reason was Lee was in a good mood after knowing that he had a daughter. When one was in a good mood, all illnesses would be cured. Thinking of Annalise’s full name, Old Mr. Xander frowned and said, “Since it’s confirmed that she is the Xander family’s bloodline, we should change her last name as soon as possible.” Lee said, “Dad, let’s not change the last name.”

Old Mr. Xander frowned. “Is it because she might not be your daughter?” her for a day. Heather is no longer around. Let Annalise keep Barton as her last name.” Old Mr. Xander wanted to say that Heather deserved it. But, when he saw his son’s sad expression, he could not bear to say it. He sighed and said, “So be it then.” “Thank you, Dad!” Lee said. Old Mr. Xander glanced in the direction of Annalise and said, “Since we’ve knowledged her, she is a part of the Xander family. We can’t let anyone bully her.” “That’s right!” Lee smiled again.

He recognized Annalise publicly so that he could protect Annalise from being bullied. Old Mr. Xander saw the doting expression and the smile on Lee’s face. He felt gratified and his expression became much better. He looked around and saw the butler greeting guests nearby. He waved for the butler. The butler came over immediately. He instructed the butler, “Bring me my thousand-year-old ancient jewelry.” The butler was shocked. “Old Mr. Samuel, you’ve always treasured that ancient jewelry.”

Alright…” The butler immediately left. Ten minutes later, the butler came back with the ancient jewelry. He held the box carefully as he was so afraid. that he would knock into it Nancy happened to see it and immediately recognized the box containing the ancient jewelry. She asked the butler in surprise, “Mr. Wallich, isn’t that Grandpa’s ancient jewelry? What are you doing with this?”

The butler said politely, “I don’t know either. Old Mr. Xander asked me to bring it over.” He did not know. He could only guess that Old Mr. Xander want to give the ancient jewelry to Annalise. “Okay! Mr. Wallich, hurry up. Don’t let Old Mr. Xander wait too long.” Nancy smiled slightly. Nancy guessed that Old Mr. Xander must have been chatting with a few old friends and wanted to show them the thousand- year ancient jewelry.

People were like that. They always like to show off their rarest possessions to attract praise from others. “Okay” The butler immediately took the Xander. Namey thought that since she had nothing to do now, she might as well follow him to take a look. Old Mr. Xander took the box containing the thousand-year ancient jewelry from the butler and walked straight toward Annalise. Nancy saw that there were indeed two old men not far from Annalise. They were Mr. Sullen and Mr. Yannick, who were chatting happily.

She also wanted to see how Old Mr. Xander show off the ancient jewelry, so she followed along. In the end, she saw Old Mr. Xander standing in front of Annalise. “Annalise!” Old Mr. Xander shouted. Annalise was chatting with Julian. She sat on the bench with her hands on it and her feet swaying gently. Her posture was extremely relaxed. When she heard Samuel call her, she immediately stood up. She looked a little uncomfortable. After

No matter what, even if they were not related by blood, Samuel was already in his seventies. It was not an exaggeration for her to address him as her grandfather. “Yes,” Samuel replied. He looked at Annalise’s reserved expression and smiled lovingly. “I’m your grandfather and this is your home. Don’t be nervous! I didn’t know of your existence in the past and neglected you. I’d like to apologize to you for your suffering all these years!”

Lee said that Annalise looked like him. Now that Samuel took a closer look at Annalise, he felt Annalise indeed bore more resemblance to Lee. Annalise was moved to tears by Samuel’s words. The Why was she crying so much? In the past, she was really very strong. She immediately said, “Grandpa, I didn’t

suffer. I’ve been living well all these years.” Ms. Tuffin treated her very well. She didn’t suffer. However, she was still touched by Old Mr. Good, that’s good,” Old Mr. Xander said with relief.

He handed the box containing the ancient jewelry box to Annalise. “Hére. I didn’t know of your existence before today and didn’t prepare anything. It’s a small welcome gift. Please take it.” The box looked antique. Annalise guessed that it might be something relatively vintage inside. She did not know if it was expensive, but it was very heavy. Just as Nancy was thinking about how to reject him, she heard a voice suddenly.

Nancy said anxiously, “Grandpa, that’s the thousand-year-old ancient jewelry that you’ve been collecting for decades!-know you’re very happy to reconnect with your granddaughter, but you can give another gift to Annalise.” She was furious and wondered if Samuel was thinking straight. Old Mr. Xander was usually very reluctant when she wanted to take a look at the ancient jewelry. He never allowed her to hold or touch it for fear that she would break it.

Now that he had acknowledged the child born out of wedlock, he was in a hurry to Nancy knew Old Mr. Xander was biased toward Lee. Even though Lee had been bedridden for 20 years, Samuel still felt that Eee was the best among his children. No matter how much her branch of the family contributed, they were not treated warmly.

After hearing that it was ancient jewelry, Annalise was touched again. Of course, she would not accept such an expensive gift. She refused, “Grandpa, I appreciate your thought. Thank you, but I can’t accept such an expensive gift.” “Silly child, just accept it!” Old Mr. Xander insisted. Back then, Old Mr. Xander also wanted to give the ancient jewelry to Lee, but Lee refused to accept it no matter what. Lee told Samuel to gift it to Lee’s wife when he got married in the future.

After that, Lee had gone overseas to expand the market for three years. During that period, he did not mention that he was looking for a partner. After three years, he suddenly said that he was married and

had a said he would come back with his entiré family for a reunion at the end of the year. The situation was gloomy when he came back end of that year. A huge turn of the event had happened. Lee lost his two-year-old son abroad in July. When Old Mr. Xander looked at the photo, his heart ached. His grandson was such a cute kid.

Heather weighed 180 pounds. Old Mr. Xander despised her, but he did not dare to say it. He could not understand why a handsome person like Lee would get an overweighed wife. Moreover, Heather’s family background was very mediocre. However, he did not dare to say anything because Lee had lost his son. It was also during that time that Lee had fallen ill. He had very serious leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant. Even though the Xander family had a big business, it was still very difficult to find a matching bone marrow. They successfully found a matching bone

However, Heather eloped with someone when the matching just complete. Lee was bedridden again after he recovered from leukemia. He only wanted to die. If not for his son, he would have passed away that year. Old Mr. Xander thought about the past and looked at Annalise. His yellow eyes were filled with tears. He felt sorry for Lee. Although Annalise was Heather’s daughter, she still looked like Lee. This was something to be happy about. How could Samuel not love her?
