She was still nervous.
So nervous that she tightened her grip on Ashton Heath's hand.
Ashton Heath held her hand back, soothingly squeezed the palm of her hand, and then led her forward.
"Mom, Grandma." He took Joanna Lawrence to Madam Heath and affectionately patted her head in public, then said, "This is my wife, Joanna Lawrence. We have already gotten our marriage certificate, and I brought her home today to meet you all."
There were a few seconds of silence.
After Ashton Heath introduced Joanna Lawrence, no one spoke.
Ashton Heath didn't seem to care. He calmly introduced his grandmother to Joanna: "Joanna, this is my grandma."
Joanna Lawrence followed his gaze and looked at Madam Heath. She fell silent, took a deep breath, squeezed a sweet smile from the corner of her lips, and sweetly greeted her: "Hello, Grandma."
Madam Heath was squinting at her.
