The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 113

Come home!

Noella felt a tug at her heart and turned to look at Palmer.

The tall and striking man stood under an osmanthus tree, petals from the blossoms fluttering down around him like rain from heaven.

“Did you grow up here?”

“Yeah, I lived here with Grandma before I moved to Tranquility City.”

When she and Old Mrs. Lambert were taken to Tranquility City, Briony was already a part of the household. Not long after, Old Mrs. Lambert fell ill, and Belinda sent her off to the hospital,

where she stayed until the end.

Palmer reached into the car and took out a bouquet.

When had he prepared the flowers? She had no idea!

“You brought these?”

“Of course, it’s the first time I’m meeting Grandma; I want to let her know who I am.”

Palmer had that calm smile on his face, as if he was just doing something that came naturally to him, nothing worth making a fuss about.

“My fiancée has been so busy, so it’s my responsibility to take care of this.”

Visiting Grandma had somehow became his responsibility? It was her family matter, yet here he was, a man who belonged at the top of the world, treating it as his own.

Noella’s heart pounded hard! She took the flower from Palmer, then bowed sincerely in front of Old Mrs. Lambert’s portrait before gently placing it down.

“Grandma, I’m back.”

Noella took out the admission letter she had prepared long ago from her bag and said, “Grandma, I promised you I’d go to the best university. You can rest easy now!”

Old Mrs. Lambert’s lifelong dream was for her to attend college. Despite knowing so little, she wished for nothing but the best for Noella. Though her childhood had been tough, those were the happiest days of Noella’s life!

Palmer knelt down and positioned a photo of him and Noella in front of the flower.

“Grandma, I’m Palmer Pollack, Noella’s fiancé. I promise to take good care of her and give you.
