Chapter 1159 - 1160: Sweet as Honey
In the future, she would still have to call Old Mrs. Lockwood "Mom."
Anna Morgan didn’t feel she was calling incorrectly.
Mrs. Monroe thought it was a mix-up of generations and explained to the old lady, "Old Mrs. Lockwood, I’m sorry, Anna had a car accident earlier and lost some memories."
"Oh!"
Old Mrs. Lockwood smiled indifferently, "No problem, no problem."
"Getting a little girl to call me ’Aunt’ is a benefit I’m enjoying."
"Anna is someone I’ve watched grow up, whether she calls me Aunt or Grandma is fine."
Old Mrs. Lockwood was very fond of Anna Morgan. In the past, when Sean Lockwood bullied Anna Morgan, the old lady would help Anna.
"Sean is truly missing out."
Old Mrs. Lockwood said with a smile.
Although Sean Lockwood married Zoe Quinn, Old Mrs. Lockwood still couldn’t bring herself to like Zoe.
Why choose a vixen over lovely Anna Morgan? How could the old lady possibly be fond of her?
"Anna, if you need any help, just speak to Carter Lockwood." Old Mrs. Lockwood said, turning her gaze toward her son.
She noticed Carter Lockwood’s gaze was on Anna Morgan across from him.
And Anna Morgan was smiling, her eyes fixed directly on Carter Lockwood.
The old lady was very perceptive; as Carter Lockwood and Anna Morgan’s eyes met, her smile broadened.
She guessed but wouldn’t rush to expose it.
"Thank you, Auntie," Anna Morgan replied, "I will indeed need help later, and I’ll need Mr. Lockwood’s assistance then."
Anna Morgan no longer called Carter "Uncle Carter" like before, and this change in address sounded strange to Sean Lockwood.
Anna Morgan thought, restraining herself from calling him husband was an effort.
Returning to calling him Uncle Carter was not going to happen.
"Old Mrs. Lockwood, Mr. Lockwood, we’ll be leaving now."
"Auntie," Anna Morgan echoed Mrs. Monroe, "Mr. Lockwood, we’re off."
As she spoke, she looked brightly at Carter Lockwood, even purposely winked at him.
Her little gesture went unnoticed by anyone.
Whether anyone saw or not, Anna Morgan’s heart was sweet like honey.
"Hmm!"
Carter Lockwood, normally cold and stoic with few words, responded.
Looking at Anna Morgan’s smile, his heart felt sweet as well.
Anna Morgan and Mrs. Monroe got into the car and left, Carter Lockwood escorted Old Mrs. Lockwood towards the Lockwood Family’s car.
Holding Old Mrs. Lockwood’s arm, Zoe Quinn deliberately said, "Why is Anna so rude?"
She knew Old Mrs. Lockwood had always been fond of Anna Morgan.
No matter how she tried to please the old lady, Old Mrs. Lockwood always nitpicked her.

Seeing Anna Morgan deal with her own father today and hearing Anna Morgan changing the address to "Aunt," was to Zoe Quinn an opportunity to provoke discord between Anna Morgan and the Lockwood Family.
"It’s just a form of address," Old Mrs. Lockwood said in a low voice, displeased with Zoe Quinn speaking ill of Anna Morgan.
If it weren’t for Zoe Quinn’s interference, Anna Morgan would have been her granddaughter-in-law long ago.
"Hmm," Zoe Quinn agreed with the old lady’s words, "but no matter how you look at it, Mr. Monroe is Anna Morgan’s father, how can a daughter meddle in her parents’ affairs and leave Mr. Monroe embarrassed?"
Mr. Monroe’s infidelity didn’t bother Zoe Quinn much; she just wanted to see Anna Morgan suffer.
If Mr. Monroe and Mrs. Monroe divorced eventually, leaving Anna Morgan in a miserable situation, that would be ideal.
"Sean."
Once Zoe Quinn finished speaking, Old Mrs. Lockwood withdrew her hand from Zoe’s hold and, with cold indifference, said to Sean Lockwood, "You all can head back, there’s no need to escort me to the Lockwood house."
