Chapter 2557

Sylvia kept eating her pasta, casually asking, “Doesn't your grandfather live here?"

A faint smile flickered across Eugene's face. "My grandparents have been separated for almost twenty years now."

Sylvia paused, surprised.

Eugene glanced down, his voice calm but distant. "Twenty years ago, my grandfather fell in love with his secretary. He wanted to marry her and was set on divorcing my grandmother. I remember clinging to my grandma, refusing to let go, and that's the only reason the divorce didn't go through."

Sylvia frowned. "How old were you then?"

"Maybe six or seven," Eugene replied. "My parents were always busy when I was a kid, so I grew up with my grandma. I was closer to her than anyone. I was still a child, but I could sense that if my grandpa left, her life would be miserable. So I did everything I could to stop it. Luckily, my grandfather cared for me enough that he didn't go through with the divorce."

"But after that, Grandma moved here and refused to see him. Grandfather brought that woman to live with him, and she's been part of the Winters family for almost twenty years now. Most people just assume she's my grandmother."

"I hated my grandfather for a long time. I couldn't forgive that woman either. I'd constantly go against her, and every time, my father would hit me. After that, I'd always run away to stay with Grandma."
