Chapter 172 Shock

• Alex and Juliet set out that morning to Gladys' house, and on their way, they had stopped for a bit to get something for her...
• "Juliet, Alex," Gladys said gladly when she opened her door and saw both of them... she drew them both into a warm embrace that made Juliet and Alex chuckle because of how excited Gladys was. She led them both into her house when she broke the hug, and Alex handed what he had bought as a present for her. Gladys beamed at him when she opened her presents and saw that he had gotten her a very expensive silk scarf... "I don't think I can accept this... this is too much, " She said, but Alex wasn't having it. "I thought about you immediately. I saw it," Alex said and helped Gladys put the scarf around her neck, and it looked great on her. Juliet clapped her hands together and gasped. "Wow, you look so beautiful, Grandma," She said, and Gladys's face became flushed... "Thank you, dear," She said to Alex.. and he nodded, his eyes travelling to Juliet who mouthed the word "Thank you. "...
• Gladys offered both of them her special muffin a while later and didn't take no for an answer when they told her they had had breakfast already. Alex had ended up eating a lot after tasting just one and realising how delicious they were, and Gladys felt pure happiness as she watched them.
