Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 262 Uncovering My Wife’s Secrets

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?
