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.”

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.
