Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 312

Felix’s POV

I stood beside my grandfather, taking yet another gift from some pharmaceutical exec who probably wanted a favor. The gala was packed with New York’s elite, all smiles and champagne.

My eyes kept drifting across the room to where she sat.

Ten months since I’d last seen her. Ten months since I thought she’d died. But there she was transformed, not in appearance but in presence.

I remembered our first meeting at Long Island Raceway. The way she handled that car fearless, confident, radiant. That was the real her, I thought. Then I saw how she shrank around Blake Parker and his family, becoming almost invisible. Even during her illness, she accepted everything with that same quiet resignation.

Now, watching her across the room, I finally saw that confident woman again. Actually, she radiated even more charisma than I’d imagined.

She sat peeling an orange for the little girl beside her, occasionally fixing the child’s hair or whispering something that made her giggle. They looked exactly like mother and daughter.

“Grandfather,” I said quietly, “Where’d that little girl come from? She looks just like she could be Audrey’s daughter.”

Yet he gave me a meaningful smile. “What Audrey? That’s Evelyn Knox. The child is her daughter she’s four years old!”
