Chapter 273: Telling The Truth
Abigail sits with her grandma in the seating area of her grandmother’s bedroom, gazing at the view beyond the house through the large glass wall. She sees a distant mountain blanketed in pristine snow.
She knows the mountain well since Grandpa Philip’s house is close to Sawyer’s grandparents’ house. The scenery here resembles what she views from Sawyer’s bedroom in his grandpa’s house.
Abigail has never felt relaxed since her grandmother moved into this house. She constantly worries about her grandmother, even though her grandfather and Aunt Rosa always reassure her.
She turned to see her grandmother, who was sitting beside her. Abigail expressed her concern again: "Grandma, are you really happy living here?"
Sophie frowned as she looked at Abigail. She could see the worry and fear flashing in Abigail’s eyes, the same gaze Sophie often saw when her granddaughter was still connected to her father. However, since marrying Sawyer, this was the first time she had seen that fearful look again.
"Why don’t you believe me, Abby? I do like this place," Sophie said earnestly. "Your grandpa takes care of me just like he did in the past. The staff in this house are all kind to me and also show their respect to me. And did you forget that Rosa stayed here with her family as well? This is the happiest time I have ever felt. And I believe no one can make me unhappy here..."
Abigail sighed quietly upon hearing her grandmother’s words. She couldn’t quite explain it, but she always felt a sense of danger surrounding her grandma in this house.
She worried that Serena and her family would complicate her grandmother’s life if they discovered she had a daughter and granddaughter with Grandpa. She had heard that wealthy people often argue over inheritances, and she believed her sudden presence in this family would only alarm them.
When she shared her concern with Sawyer, his calm and brief comment calmed her: "Abby. If they want Philip’s money, let them. You don’t have to worry about it. Your husband has a thousand times more wealth than Philips!"
