Chapter 153: A Call From Andrew Graystone
Just as Aurora settled into her seat after making herself a lovely cup of coffee, her cell phone rang unexpectedly.
She thought Renata would be the one to call, but she was wrong. The person who called her was someone she would never have suspected: Andrew Graystone, Alex’s grandfather.
Aurora turned her chair to face the glass wall, glancing outside as she quickly answered the phone.
"Good morning, Grandpa..."
"Oh, Aurora, good morning, dear. I’m so happy we finally talked. And I wouldn’t mind even though it’s only over the phone...as long as we could talk,"
Andrew Graystone’s cheerful voice rang through from the other end, bringing warmth, even though it made Aurora feel awkward.
"Grandpa, I’m happy too," Aurora responded, a half smile on her lips; clearly, she didn’t feel that way.
Instead, she was nervous about why this old man contacted her instead of contacting Alex.
"How are you, dear? Are you alright? Did Alex treat you well? Or did he bully you?" His tone shows a genuine concern.
A soft chuckle escaped her as she pictured Alex bullying her—definitely not.
Recently, however, Alex had developed an obsession with her, becoming a completely different person in her view.
