Chapter 5021
After feeding Belle, the old lady received a call from Tania.
“Tania, is River’s bride price still not ready?” the old lady asked the moment she picked up. “You’ve been gone for so long and didn’t even call to let me know.”
Tania laughed softly, a little apologetic. “Mom, I did call you. We’ve talked, what—five times a week? Five out of seven days isn’t too bad.”
“That’s quite frequent,” the old lady admitted. “So the bride price is ready? Then call me again and let me pick an auspicious date. Once that’s set, we can present the betrothal gifts. After the engagement banquet, we’ll head back.”
As Tania continued the conversation, Belle heard her grandmother’s voice through the phone. She rushed over, her tiny footsteps quick and excited.
“Grandma! Grandma!” she called in a soft, sweet voice.
