Chapter 254: Grandfather’s Visit
One sentence was all it took to put the rumors to rest― Matteo was the father of Emmeline’s child. After all, the mother of the baby would surely know which brother it was that she slept with, right?
At least, that was what the media and internet surfers thought. People swarmed to the comments section, each one throwing out harsher words than the last. Nevertheless, their views were united― Matteo Montgomery was a scumbag for siding with the homewrecker and abandoning Emmeline Hawthorne once he had gotten her pregnant.
There were a few voices of reason who still thought there was some possibility that Aiden Montgomery was the father of the unborn child, and Matteo was just roped into this mess.
But people loved drama, and what drama would there be if Aiden was the father? He wasn’t attached― there was no ’other woman’ they could slander. And there was nothing more the keyboard warriors loved than placing the fault of men on innocent women.
"Miss Kentwood," Sean suddenly called from the other side of the door, knocking.
Amelia looked up from her phone. "What is it, Sean?"
"You have a visitor," Sean replied. "It’s your grandfather, Mr. Horace Hawthorne. He’s in the lobby downstairs. Should I grant him access?"
Amelia’s eyebrows shot up as she sat up straight, her eyes widening. She hadn’t heard from her grandfather in a long time. In fact, if she thought about it, he had been awfully silent ever since her wedding ended in disaster and the elderly man was hospitalized as a result.
She guiltily cleared her throat. She hadn’t visited her grandfather much. Between everything that had gone down, Amelia had cocooned herself, so much so that he was visiting her instead.
