Chapter 636:

Isabel, for her part, gazed at the charming little boy, and felt a comforting warmth slowly spread across her chest. She crouched down so she could meet Averi’s eyes and spoke in a gentle voice, “Hello, Averi. I am your grandmother.”

Overcome with guilt and regret, she reached out and gathered Averi into her arms.

“I’m sorry, Averi,” Isabel whispered, her voice thick with emotion. Averi had no idea what his grandmother was apologizing for, but he could feel her genuine affection for him.
