The Brother I Could Never Call Again Chapter 13

The Brother I Could Never Call Again Chapter 13

I was busy getting ready. So I never saw Grant.

He came in a hurry. Dropped off the gift. Then left just as quickly.

There wasn’t even a chance for me to return it.

Mrs. Whitfield stared toward the entrance. Shock slowly gave way to understanding.

It was as if she’d finally figured something out.

When she looked at me again, there was only regret in her eyes.

“I’m not an unreasonable mother. If Grant had only told me sooner…”

“Never mind.”

Then she smiled.

“Grant has always been generous. Since he gave it to you, just accept it.”

After that, Grant never appeared in my life again.

Occasionally, I’d hear news about him from Nora.

He spent most of his time overseas now. Rarely returning to Ashbury.

Unlike my previous life…

When he had stayed in Ashbury because that city had once been our home.

This lifetime, he disappeared from my life completely.

When my daughter was born, I got another gift.

A pearl necklace worth millions.

The card read:

[For my niece.

—Uncle Grant, from the Whitfield family]

Miles looked at the signature and asked curiously,

[Who’s ‘Uncle Grant’?]

I looked at the card for a long moment. Then I smiled.

“An old acquaintance.”

“Nothing more.”
