The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan
Chapter 617
Melissa was a wreck for a whole week when she heard the news of Karen’s passing. Even now, just the thought of it could bring tears to her eyes.
Karen reached out and wiped the tear from Melissa’s eye. “Come on, even your kids all grown up now. You shouldn’t be crying like when you were a little girl.”
Vivienne handed her a tissue. “Here, wipe your tears.”
Melissa looked up at Vivienne and then at Karen. “Auntie Karen, Vivienne’s had a tough time with the Brooks family. Now that you and Jasper are here, I want to apologize on behalf of the Brooks to both you and Vivienne.”
With that, Melissa bent forward in a deep bow.
Vivienne lifted her back up. “Auntie, you’re making us feel like strangers.”
“That’s right, if you keep this up, I’ll get cross,” Karen said, patting Melissa’s back. “Isn’t it great that we’re all here together now?”
Melissa nodded vigorously. “Yeah, you’re right. It’s nice, just like this.”
Vance watched from the side, well aware of the hardships Karen and Vivienne had endured over the years because of Scott and his organization. He knew that a mere apology or bow could not make up for it all.
But none of that mattered when it came to his beloved.
He put a comforting arm around Melissa’s shoulders, saying, “Melissa, we’ve finally got a chance to catch up with Karen. Let’s not dwell on the unhappy stuff. How about we talk about something cheerful?”
“Sure, Karen, let’s go chat over there.” Melissa affectionately linked arms with Karen, and they made their way over to where Zelda was.
Vance, Vivienne, and the ever-silent Jasper went to Jasper’s study in unspoken agreement.
Vance was aware that Vivienne’s invitation to join the Perez gathering was not just for pleasantries.
Inside the study, Percival was already there, serving coffee like a perfect gentleman.
Vance was surprised; he had not expected Percival to be at the Perez Mansion and was even more taken aback to see him waiting in the study.
