Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Chapter 96

But he didn't.

I could keenly feel Grandpa's life slipping away bit by bit, his voice incredibly weak. "Whatever happens... don't let Jessica marry into our family. Guard the Frost family for me." "I will... I will..."

"Okay... Charlotte remembers, every word."

But seeds of doubt were planted in my heart.

Grandpa used his last bit of strength, smiling kindly at me. "With this, Grandpa can rest in peace..."
