Chapter 5

Natalie sat in the car, a bitter sinile tugging at her lips as she watched Easton hover over Jennifer. No matter how poisonous Jennifer's actions, Easton always shielded her like she was his prized possession. The sound of an aged, authoritative voice broke her thoughts. "Humph!"

A shiver ran down Natalie's spine. She turned to find her grandfather, Lambert, by her side, and tears streamed down her

face.

"Grandpa," she gasped, her voice trembling with surprise and joy. She hadn't expected him to be there.

Lambert, the man who had raised her with love and care, wore a face marked by time, but it was etched with anger now. Easton and the Simpson family had upset his precious girl, and he was seething. "Don't cry. I'm not dead yet," he barked, his voice stern.

Natalie managed a smile, her thoughts drifting to the past life where her grandfather had been heartbroken after her departure, and he too had passed away a year later. Her regret overwhelmed her, and she sobbed uncontrollably. The driver, James Shawn, gripped the steering wheel tightly, his mind filled with a desire to make Easton pay.

"Still crying?" Lambert asked, his voice a mix of anger and pain.

Between sobs, Natalie gasped, "Grandpa, James, I'm crying over my own foolishness."
