Chapter 157: Grandma Sophie’s Concerns
"Grandma, please tell me why you assume that Abigail will have a miserable life after marrying me?" Sawyer asked, confused.
Sophie seemed reluctant to answer. She only stared at Sawyer with mixed emotions, trying to string together the right words to explain why she disapproved of his relationship with her granddaughter—simply because she didn’t want her granddaughter to join a wealthy family like the Jones’.
Seeing Sophie avoid his gaze, which clearly showed her refusal to answer, Sawyer couldn’t help but ask again.
"Grandma, I’m sorry if my question sounds rude. Do you have a relationship with my Grandpa, Nathaniel Jones?" Hearing his own question made his stomach twist.
He worried that Sophie Lewis might have been his grandfather’s secret lover. If that were true, his relationship with Abigail would be over; he could not marry her if they shared the same blood. The mere thought of that possibility made his blood run cold. Still, he refused to believe it—he would never believe it!
Sawyer tried to appear calm, even though he felt like Hurricane Patricia was raging inside him. His heart raced with anxiety as he waited for Sophie to answer. But when he saw her laugh, confusion formed a frown on his forehead.
Sophie was taken aback by Sawyer’s words. With a small laugh, she quickly shook her head in response to his question.
"Oh, dear Sawyer, of course, I don’t have a relationship with your Grandpa, Nathaniel Jones. I’m not close to him, but I know of him through someone from my past." Sophie’s expression slowly turned dark, and her heart ached at the memory.
In contrast to Sophie, Sawyer felt very relieved. He was no longer worried about whether he and Abigail shared the same blood.
However, something still bothered him.
"Grandma, if you don’t have a relationship with my grandfather, why did you forbid me from continuing my relationship with Abby?" he asked, his confusion deepening.
