Unmasking the Heiress by Sisi Yea

Chapter 603

"Mr. Gordon, I know this gemstone bracelet was meant for your granddaughter-in-law. But let's face it: my marriage to Walter was a joke, and it would've ended ages ago if it weren't for Grandpa Cole's illness. Now that he's gone, it doesn't seem right for me to keep this beauty, does it?"

She laughed, trying to keep it light, and took Trey's frail hand, pressing the wooden box with the bracelet into his palm. "Don't worry, even if Walter and I weren't meant to be, you'll always be my grandpa."

With that, Evangeline spun on her heel and walked away, not looking back.

It was not that she was distant. It was just that she was afraid if she hesitated, Trey would see the tears she was fighting back.

She had a tender heart.

After all, how could she not feel a bond with Trey after all the time they had spent together?

What Evangeline did not see was Trey, with the wooden box at hand, standing still with tears welling up in his old eyes. He watched her walk away.

He knew that the granddaughter-in-law he was so proud of was slipping away for good.
