The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 380 A Parting Embrace

“Lily…”

Grace’s tears streamed down her wrinkled cheeks.

They’d said before that even if Lily and James got divorced, she would always be her granddaughter.

She also knew Lily wasn’t leaving for good–just taking a short trip to relax and clear her head, and she’d be back soon.

But just thinking about that divorce certificate made her feel unbearably sad.

With trembling fingers, she gripped Lily’s hand tightly. “You be safe on your trip. Eat well. Don’t be stingy with money… I’ve got plenty of it… That’s right, I’ll transfer you some now.”

Saying that, she pulled out her phone and began transferring money to Lily.

“Why is there a limit?”

Grace huffed in frustration. “I can only send a million at a time… James, figure something out for me–I want to send Lily more!”

“Grandma, you don’t need to transfer me anything!”

James had already given Lily shares in the company, and she felt guilty enough about accepting them. She

definitely didn’t want to take Grace’s money too.

But Grace had already sent it to her bank account and, with tears in her eyes, threatened her with mock sternness, “This is spending money from me, your grandma. Lily, if you don’t accept it, or if you dare send it back, that means you don’t want to be my granddaughter anymore!”
