Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 302

Effie felt a sharp ache in her heart.

She, too, thought of that gentle, refined man from her memories—her grandfather.

He had adored her grandmother more than anything in the world. Even when money was tight, he did everything he could to give her the best life possible.

But after a lifetime spent shaping young minds, her grandfather was taken from them too soon, swept away by lung cancer. He died in the ICU, never even getting the chance to say goodbye to her grandmother.

That became her grandmother's lifelong regret.

Taking a deep breath, her grandmother spoke softly to Effie. "It's okay to lose your way sometimes, sweetheart. Who hasn't made mistakes when they were young? What matters is knowing when to stop and finding the right path again.”

Effie knew what her grandmother was getting at. She nodded. "I understand."

Her grandmother squeezed her hand. "Don't keep repeating the same mistakes. There's no sense in going back to something that wasn't right in the first place." Effie nodded solemnly. "I know."

After a pause, she added, "I love Lyman. I know we haven't known each other very long, but it feels like I've known him forever."
