“Tessa, tell me what really happened five years ago. You re my granddaughter, and I won’t let those who wronged you go unpunished.”

“Grandpa, you don’t need to worry about it. I can handle it myself.” Walter was already old; there was no need for him to stress over her troubles..

Don’t let yourself suffer, understand? A girl your age should enjoy dressing up and being happy.”

Tessa’s throat tightened at the warmth she hadn’t felt in so long. Even someone as strong as her couldn’t help but feel touched.

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

“I offend people every day,” Tessa replied dryly. Even if she didn’t provoke anyone, trouble always found
