Billionaire, Let's Divorce! by BELLA

Chapter 0089

"Good evening, Grandma," I said into ue phone after I picked up the call. I tried to sound as casual as possible but I was dying to know why she called as the pleasantries seemed to stretch.

"How have you been, child? It's been quite a while," her familiar shrill voice filled the speaker of the phone.

"I've been good, Grandma. How are you?"

"I am fine, Sydney. So I called you to personally invite you to my birthday banquet that is happening on Sunday."

I released a breath I didn't know I was holding.

My heart warmed at her declaration and I sniffed but I still intended to stand my ground. "I know, Grandma but... How about I celebrate with you privately? Just you and me." I glanced at Grace who seemed to be fully absorbed in our conversation. "Maybe with my friend too."
