Chapter 0123

After breaking the big news to Catherine, the three healed to dinner. But what Mary didn’t expect was the surprise awaiting her at the garden table. It had been more than five long years since she’d last seen him. As she stepped out of the mansion, the sound of her voice caught Albert Preston’s attention. He rose from his chair and turned toward her.

His eyes filled with tears as he saw the young woman energing. She was no longer the little girl he’d left behind in Valeria. She was now a stunning young woman, as beautiful as her mother had been. He noticed she was holding hands with a handsome man whom he assumed was her husband. There was so much to catch up on..

“My girl!” Albert cried, his voice full of emotion.

“Grandpa! You’re here!” Mary exclaimed, letting go of Peter’s hand and running to embrace the grandfather she had missed so dearly.

They hugged tightly. Despite his age, Albert was still tall and strong, towering over Mary as he held her close. He kissed the top of her head, stroked her hair, and then gently held her shoulders to look at her.

“Look at you, my girl! You’re all grown up. A beautiful woman!” Albert said, tears streaming down his

face.

“Grandpa, don’t cry. I’m okay. I’m okay,” Mary said/trying to hold back her own tears.

“I couldn’t wait to see this moment! Just a little while ago, your grandfather arrived, Mary, and that’s when I went to fetch you. And what a wonderful surprise I found!” Catherine said, tears glistening in her

eyes.
