Chapter 174: Meet My Husband
Gracia widened her eyes in surprise before she slowly recognized the little girl before her. This must be the same Kiana Evelyn had spoken of last night, her precious daughter. Quickly gathering herself, Gracia greeted her with a warm smile.
"Hello, darling. I’m—"
"You’re my sweet grandmother, I know! Hehe~" Kiana interrupted with a giggle, her joy infectious as she stepped closer.
Gracia’s heart swelled at the sight, her smile widening as Kiana settled beside her. The little girl turned toward Evelyn, her expression softening as she gazed at her mother sleeping soundly. Leaning closer, Kiana placed a tender kiss on Evelyn’s forehead, her small hand gently patting her mother’s head.
"Sleep well, Mommy," Kiana whispered as though coaxing Evelyn to rest longer.
Gracia’s breath hitched, her surprise giving way to a warmth that spread through her chest. Kiana’s love for Evelyn shone so brightly that it took her back in time. For a fleeting moment, she saw her own little bunny in Kiana’s gestures.
"We’ve all waited so long for you, Grandma," Kiana murmured, glancing back at Gracia with a slight pout. "But I’m sad you woke up while I wasn’t here. I wanted to be the first to greet you!"
Gracia chuckled softly, her voice warm as she replied, "Oh, I’m sorry, honey."
"No!" Kiana shook her head firmly. "I’m super happy you finally woke up from your beauty sleep."
Gracia’s laugh bubbled out, her heart melting at Kiana’s cuteness. "You’re adorable," she said, gently pinching the little girl’s nose.
Kiana giggled, her laughter stirring Evelyn from her slumber. Groggy and half-asleep, Evelyn blinked as she turned toward them.
