Chapter 1572: 388: How absurd the mistake is! _1 Chapter 1572: 388: How absurd the mistake is! _1 Eleanor Armstrong looked at Viola Thompson, her mind filled with countless emotions in that moment.
Initially, when the Thompson Clan had put forth Viola as the adopted daughter for a breakup with Terrence Lentz, she utterly refused.
In her eyes, Viola was nothing more than a country bumpkin, and adding to that, the conduct of the Thompson Family made her extremely disdainful towards them.
Even though Viola wasn't a blood relative of the Thompsons, they had raised her.
She feared that Viola would act no different than them.
Ungrateful.
Kicking someone when they're down.
But it turned out not to be so.
Not only did Viola not exhibit any of the Thompson Family's traits, she was understanding and reasonable, one in a million good young woman.
Lucky.
She was lucky to have woken up to it in time, otherwise, she would have missed out on such an exceptional daughter-in-law like Viola.
Whenever she thought about it, Eleanor Armstrong was filled with regret.
“Viola, thank you,” Eleanor Armstrong said, grasping Viola's hands.
Thanking her for believing in Terrence so much.
In this family, apart from her and Harlan Lentz, no one believed that Terrence would accomplish anything grand in the future.
Even his two biological elder brothers didn't believe.
But Viola believed in Terrence.
Moreover, Eleanor Armstrong could see from Viola's eyes, her belief in Terrence is genuine – that determined look was unshakeable by anyone.
Viola smiled softly, “Auntie, we're family, there's no need for formalities.”
Eleanor nodded in agreement, understanding everything without words.
Pausing, Eleanor continued, “Today is a good day, let's not let those issues ruin our mood! Viola, I've prepared some camping equipment. Today, the four of us will go camping.”
By 'the four of us', she didn't include Bartley Lentz and Len Lentz.
The purpose of camping is to have fun.
Bringing them along would simply be a bother.
And also.
They had made everything too ugly,
As their mother, Eleanor found it bitterly disappointing.
She had never imagined things would turn out this way.
She had thought, after all, they were brothers. Though they may quarrel, she didn't think it would escalate to this degree.
But…
Each time she thought about these matters, Eleanor felt like she was suffocating.
Viola nodded lightly, “Sure, I've actually never been camping before.”
Hearing this, Eleanor was taken aback.
She hadn't realized that Viola had never been camping.
It makes sense, really.
In the past, Viola had suffered so much under Reg Thompson and Olga, so it was quite normal that she hadn't gone camping before.
The couple always only ever thought of their own biological daughter, so how could they possibly consider Viola?
Thinking about it, sadness filled Eleanor's eyes.
Luckily, Viola was now back with her real parents.
Eleanor continued, “We're heading to the Garden Campsite today, I've heard that the scenery there is particularly nice, with mountains and water, and it's very lively.”
The point of camping is to be amidst many people and revel in the fun.
As she finished speaking, Eleanor turned towards Harlan Lentz, “You go prepare the things, and once everything's ready, we'll set off.”
Harlan Lentz smiled, “Sure.”
Harlan's thoughts mirrored Eleanor's, there's no point lingering over what's happened. The most important thing right now is to be happy.
Eleanor linked her arm with Viola's, then looked towards Terrence, “You should go help your Dad too! Today, us women are going to kick back and relax.”
“Sure!” Terrence nodded slightly.
With that said, Terrence hurried off to help Harlan.
Father and son together, packing up the equipment for camping.
Eleanor had prepared quite a few things.
Tents, barbecue grills, small tables, atmosphere lights, and even tables, chairs, benches, and so on.
Eleanor was a bit of a clean freak, not comfortable with using things from the campsite, so every time they went camping, she brought everything with her.
Even pots, pans, dishes, and bowls.
If it were anyone else, they would have definitely opted for disposable cutlery, but Eleanor was very environmentally conscious. She strongly disapproved of disposable tableware, so she brought an entire pile of things each time they went camping.
So, each time they went camping with Eleanor, Harlan always complained that she was such a pain.
But this time, surprisingly, Harlan didn't have a single complaint.
While packing things, Harlan said in a low voice, “Terrence, don't stress. As long as your Mom and I are around, we won't let you suffer.”
He was scared Terrence would feel pressured.
Given the family's current situation, as a father, he must create a safe space for Terrence.
Terrence spoke up lightly, “Dad, you and Mom have worked hard all your lives, I think it's time for you to start enjoying life. I've arranged a world tour for both of you. For your latter years, I hope you both can be happy, truly live for yourselves and stop worrying for us.”
