Chapter 416 416: She is your grandmother...

Josh felt his effort crumbling, and he could blame nobody but his family who had dealt him such a hand.

His fists clenched and unclenched, his chest heaving with unspent rage. His heart raced with thoughts that stabbed at him like blades.

So many 'ifs' swirling in his thought;

If only I could turn back the hands of time,

If only I hadn't kept quiet

If only I hadn't gone ahead to continue living in the Anderson family

If only I had left the family, been the man I should have been…

"Babe, it's been more than two weeks." His tone cracked, tender yet burdened with despair.

"So many things have happened… and you weren't awake to see them."

He let out a hollow laugh. "If you were awake, maybe you'd have frowned at the constant intrusion into your space. You always hated when anyone disturbed your rest."

His grip tightened slightly. "But it's your father and grandmother. They can't agree on anything. At this rate, the Santiagos and Andersons might revive their old feud."
