Chapter 1242:

Learning about Gracelyn’s tragic past, Kallie felt a wave of compassion. Gracelyn’s invitation to breakfast seemed nothing more than a gesture of kindness. Leaving without joining Gracelyn could deepen her sadness.

Kallie couldn’t just decline. So, she smiled and said, “Well, I’m a bit hungry. Could you please show me the way?”

The servant offered a genuine smile and quickly showed Kallie the way.

In the dining room, Gracelyn was sitting alone. Her gaze fixed on the window, as if she was expecting something. But she said nothing. Breakfast was laid out on the table. However, Gracelyn hadn’t touched her food, seemingly waiting for Kallie to join her.

The dining room was dimly lit. Seeing Gracelyn partly shrouded in darkness, Kallie felt a pang of sadness. It was hard for her to fathom how Gracelyn had endured over the years. Gracelyn had sunk into her grief daily without socializing.

Kallie could relate to Gracelyn’s pain. Had she been in Gracelyn’s shoes, she might not have been able to endure the impacts of such tragedies. As Kallie stepped into the dining room, she made sure to wear a warm, inviting smile. She greeted Gracelyn with warmth, “Good morning, Mrs. White.”
