Betrayal At the Altar by Dolores Delia

Chapter 613

Downstairs, Old Mrs. Jones sat on the sofa.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up and caught Rachel’s unintended charm in her eyes. Old Mrs. Jones’s expression froze for a moment, and a complex and obscure emotion flicked in her murky gaze.

Then, she returned to normal.

“Rae-Rae, come to me.” Old Mrs. Jones patted the seat beside her.

Rachel obediently walked over and sat beside her. “Grandma.”

Old Mrs. Jones took her hand. “Well, it’s nothing in particular. It’s just that I haven’t seen you for a few days, and I’ve been missing you.”

“I was actually planning to visit you today. I didn’t expect you to come by yourself,” Rachel said, flashing a smile.

“Looks like we have a special bond and are always on the same page.” Old Mrs. Jones held Rachel’s hand and smiled. “Would you like to go to Aureliana with David in a few days?”

Hearing this, David raised his eyes and looked deeply at Old Mrs. Jones.

Old Mrs. Jones glanced at David, then held Rachel’s hand. “Didn’t you say that you’ve never been there before? It’s a good time to unwind and have some fun.”

“I…”

Before Rachel could finish, Old Mrs. Jones spoke again. “Don’t feel pressured to decide now. Take your time to think about it. Whenever you want to go, I will be here to support you.”

Rachel smiled. “Thank you, Grandma.”

Old Mrs. Jones reached out to touch Rachel’s face. “You don’t have to thank me, dear. It’s always a pleasure to have you here with me.”

Rachel gazed at Old Mrs. Jones, her eyes shimmering ever so slightly.
