A Blessing in Disguise Rose pulled me to sit down, her face still grim. I nced around the table, not seeing Liora, but I did notice Atticus still there. His eyes were fixed on me, and it seemed he must have noticed what had transpired.
Fearful that Rose might continue her outburst and embarrass Atticus, I quickly reached out and poured her a cup of tea. "Grandma Rose, please have some tea." She sighed and looked at me, seeminglyining, "You are such a considerate girl. If only had a granddaughter like you." Upon hearing Rose''s words, Be suddenly smiled and said, "Grandma Rose, you and Mr. Archie are so simr.
You always dwell on TCO Since you like Chloe so much, why don''t I suggest that Mr. Archie just ept Chloe as his daughter?" This statementpletely stunned me. What was Be thinking? She continued to smile gently. "Having a granddaughter would make you happy, and Mr. Archie would have a daughter too. If you care for her, it would give her support and prevent others from bullying her as an outsider. It''s a win- win situation." Be''s words were followed immediately by Arthur''s approval.
"That''s a great suggestion. I can vouch for this girl''s character. She''s absolutely graceful, responsible, and inspiring. She is a well-behaved and great youngdy."
Rose suddenly burst intoughter and nced at Be. "You always have so many ideas. But I have to admit, I really do find her very pleasing to the eye. She caught my attention from the very first nce. It seems it really is fate." Be looked at Archie and asked, "Mr.
Archie, what do you think? Should we ept this daughter?" Feeling somewhat overwhelmed, I looked at As, who just smiled and remained silent.
Upon hearing Be''s words, Archieughed heartily, "How could I not like the granddaughter that my mother can''t get enough of? If As has chosen her, of course, she''s won my heart too. Well, I''ll ept this daughter. From today on, I have
fulfilled a wish and gained a daughter." At this moment, everyone apuded and agreed. Someone suggested that today was a good day and that they should immediately hold an acknowledgement ceremony.
I was taken aback by the situation, but I knew that such an opportunity was something that many people dreamt of, yet it had unexpectedly fallen into myp. I had no reason to refuse.
Guided by Be, Ipleted the ceremony.

While bowing and serving them tea, I addressed them as ‘Grandma’ and ‘Dad’.
Rose immediately had her family''s heirloom brought out, a bracelet she had received when she got married.
She ced it on my wrist. "This bracelet has always been passed down to women, not men. Today, I finally put it on my granddaughter''s wrist. My wish is fulfilled." Archie also brought out a set of jewelry and told me, "This was my wife''s dowry when she married me. She told me at that time that this set of jewelry was for our daughter in the future.
Today, I''m handing it over to you, fulfilling one of her wishes." It was all so precious. I looked to As for help, unsure whether to ept, but he just smiled indulgently at me. It was Be who urged me in my ear, "ept it "n I had no choice but to ept the jewelry. "Thank you, Dad." With the ceremonypleted, I
suddenly became Archie''s daughter, a result of a stroke of unexpected fortune. — Although this event was known only by a "small circle", everyone in this circle was at the top, the upper echelons, and therefore the most valuable.
I didn''t yet realize the enormous impact this event would have on my life. But I had a faint feeling that this event was under As’s control because of his calm demeanor. But then, what was Be''s role in all this? Her handling of the situation was just right, at the perfect moment.
After the banquet, Grandma Rose instructed me to return home in three days, as she had already summoned the son of the Morgan family back to Foswood.
During the journey back, I nervously probed As, "This happened too suddenly." — He held my hand, his expression meaningful. "You deserve to have this kind of status." I became even more convinced that this event was no coincidence.
