The old woman's eyesight was poor. She squinted, and it was only after she got closer that she recognized Cecilia Adler, her face wrinkling into a smile. "Cecilia, I haven't seen you in nearly half a year. You've really blossomed."
Her gaze shifted to Ian Quincy. After studying him for a long moment, she said, "Titus, you came along too? It's only been a few days, but you seem a little taller."
Ian Quincy introduced himself. "Hello, Grandma. I'm Cecilia's boyfriend, Ian Quincy."
The smile on the old woman's face vanished. "Boyfriend?" She pulled Cecilia Adler into the house and whispered, "Was this arranged by that Li woman? I knew she was up to no good looking for you."
