Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 823

"Gran, please, try to stay calm."

Christine stepped forward, gently patting Helena's chest. "Your condition can't handle stress. Let us handle our issues on our own, okay? For now, let's just have dinner." Helena couldn't possibly think of eating, glaring at Merritt with a mix of disappointment and frustration. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack or what?" Merritt got down on one knee in front of Helena, pleading, "Gran, I didn't mean to upset you. Can we just sort this out during the wedding preparations, please?" This gesture made Christine feel a bit awkward.

After all, it was her who had spilled the beans to Helena.

If anything happened to Helena because of this, Christine knew she'd be at fault.

"Gran, let's not dwell on this now. I'll bring your dinner to your room, and you can eat in peace, okay?"

Helena sighed heavily, shooting Merritt a stern look before letting Christine help her into the other room.

After setting up the dinner for Helena, Christine returned to find Merritt still on his knees.

"You're not kneeling to me now, are you?"

"Come on, get up. I can't deal with this. Grab some wine, and let's talk over a drink."

Merritt fetched the wine.
