The old man paused his eating and looked at Raina Lowell. Raina knew that her situation would be a shock to her grandfather. But she couldn’t wait any longer. Adrian Grant wouldn’t let her leave, so she could only turn to her grandfather for help. With her head down, Raina mustered up her courage and confessed: "I’m sorry, Grandpa, actually, when I was abroad, I already gave birth to two children. They are called Aurora and Evelyn." "The last time I had an accident, it was because I went to save my daughter." "Now my son needs me, is it okay for me to go out for a few days?" After saying this, she didn’t dare look at the old man’s disappointed and saddened expression. She sat there tensely, her fingers tightly interlocked, and her nervous breathing was somewhat uneven. The old man was stunned and didn’t react for a while. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, and asked weakly: "I didn’t quite understand, could you say it again?" Raina’s heart was in her throat, and she didn’t dare to lift her head. Filled with guilt and self-blame, she repeated her words. The old man finally understood. Four years ago, she said she wanted to go abroad, and he arranged everything for her to study there. During those three years of studying abroad, she gave birth to a pair of children with an unknown father. After returning home, fearing he would be deeply shocked, she never dared to speak of it, and even married Adrian. Now her daughter is missing, her son is in someone else’s hands, and she wants to leave to see her son. Old Master Grant could hardly believe it; he had always doted on and protected her, only wanting her to give the Grant Family a successor. She had given birth out of wedlock and kept it hidden from everyone. To say he’s not disappointed would be a lie. He was so disappointed, a breath got stuck in his chest, almost unable to come up. When Raina looked up and saw her grandfather’s face flushed red, struggling to cough but unable to, she hurriedly went forward to support him and pat his back. "I’m sorry, Grandpa, I know I was wrong, I shouldn’t have kept it from you all, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!" Now, aside from apologizing, she didn’t know what else to say. Seeing her grandpa’s discomfort, tears filled Raina’s eyes anxiously. The old man took a long time before his breathing eased. He waved Raina back to her seat. After a long pause, he weakly asked, "Does Adrian know about this?" Raina nodded, "He knows." "And he doesn’t blame you?" Thinking about Adrian Grant’s attitude towards this matter, as her husband, Adrian had actually handled it quite well. He had also said that he would help her raise Aurora and Evelyn. But her Aurora was missing, and Evelyn was with Damien Sinclair. Believing that what Adrian said was sincere, she honestly replied to the old man’s question: "He doesn’t blame me." The old man leaned against the headboard, sighing: "This is an issue between you two as a couple. Since Adrian doesn’t blame you, as your elder, I don’t have much to say." "The daughter you mentioned who went missing, did you report it to the police? No clues at all?" Since things have already happened, blaming this granddaughter-in-law won’t change anything. The grandson doesn’t mind his wife having children with someone else, so as a grandfather, he shouldn’t interfere. Raina shook her head. The old man looked at her and asked, "And when you go see your son, do you plan to bring him back?" She had to bring Evelyn back. She absolutely couldn’t stay with Damien Sinclair. As for how to escape by then, she wasn’t sure. The old man agreed, "Alright, I’ll allow you to bring the child over, let me see what they look like." This granddaughter-in-law’s biological children, even if they weren’t direct descendants, as long as the child is willing to stay with the Grant Family, they would accept them. Not only accept, but also nurture them well. Hearing the old man’s words, a surge of warmth filled Raina’s chest, moving her to tears. She really hadn’t expected that her grandfather wouldn’t blame her at all. She cursed herself, wondering why she didn’t confess earlier to her grandfather. Perhaps if she had spoken sooner, she could have divorced Adrian Grant earlier, and maybe Aurora and Evelyn wouldn’t have had any problems. As she was filled with regret and self-blame, the old man spoke in a deep voice: "Go call Adrian for me, I need to speak with him, he will let you go." Raina stood up and nodded, "Okay, thank you, Grandpa." She turned and left the room to find Adrian Grant in the study. Opening the door, she saw Adrian in casual clothes, busy in front of the computer. Raina walked over with her head down and spoke softly: "Grandpa wants you to go to his room." Adrian looked up at her, "What does he want me there for?" "You’ll know once you get there." Raina still felt somewhat guilty. After all, this man had always warned her not to reveal anything about the children. But she ended up saying it anyway. Thankfully, her grandfather wasn’t deeply shocked by it. Adrian didn’t think much of it, closed the computer, and left. Raina returned to her room. She was waiting for Adrian to come and tell her that he had given her permission to leave. Grandfather has agreed, Adrian Grant definitely won’t stop her again. And her confession will definitely anger that man. Left waiting and watching, Adrian Grant still doesn’t show up. Raina Lowell washed up and got into bed, ready to sleep, when the door was violently kicked open. She quickly sat up, looking at the man storming toward her, and within moments, he crossed over to her, raised his hand, and grabbed her throat. "Raina Lowell, how dare you? Did you just ignore everything I said?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel•fire.net The damned woman actually confessed to Grandfather. Grandfather even asked him to let her go. At this moment, Adrian Grant was so furious he truly wanted to strangle her. Raina Lowell was forced to raise her neck to meet his gaze, her eyes shrouded in a mist. "You forbid me to see Evelyn. I just want to bring my Evelyn back." "Aren’t you afraid this will upset Grandfather?" Grandfather seems fine on the surface. But deep down, he must be extremely sad and disappointed. After all, this woman has always been the pride of his existence. The old man is counting on her to bear fruit for The Grant Family. Yet this woman gave birth to someone else’s child and won’t be able to have more. How could such a matter not hit him hard? Adrian Grant is already worried about Grandfather’s condition; as he came over, he hastily instructed Elias Sheridan to keep an eye on Grandfather’s health. Yet Raina Lowell didn’t grasp the seriousness of the situation, her eyes blinking as she looked at Adrian Grant. "Grandfather didn’t blame me and allowed me to leave to bring Evelyn back." Adrian Grant flung her away, turned around, and rubbed his forehead, trying hard to suppress his inner anger. Finally, he faced Raina Lowell, pointing at her as he spoke with teeth clenched in coldness: "I suspect you’re wanting to see the child’s father, aren’t you, Raina Lowell? You completely disregard Grandfather’s health to leave, fine, I’ll indulge you, I’ll let you go." "But listen up, if anything happens to Grandfather, I won’t spare you." Really think this is an ungrateful wolf. Knowing no matter what he does, he can’t keep her. Adrian Grant’s hurt eyes stabbed at her, unwilling to look at her again, he slammed the door and left. Raina Lowell’s heart trembled. Thinking back to her confession to Grandfather, his reaction seemed to indicate no big problems. Adrian Grant was probably just trying to scare her. But still uneasy, Raina Lowell got up to visit the old man’s room. Old Master Grant indeed showed no signs of trouble. He sent Elias Sheridan away, pulled Raina Lowell’s hand and said: "Raina, I’ve already told Adrian to send someone to escort you tomorrow. You can go and bring your child here with peace of mind." Seeing Grandfather seemingly fine, she finally went back to her room to rest. The next morning, as she was about to leave, Raina Lowell went to check on the old man once more. Once sure Grandfather was okay, she walked out the door. Adrian Grant stayed in his room and didn’t come out. Until hearing the sound of a car downstairs, he got up and walked to the window, parting the curtains to look down. He saw Raina Lowell getting into a car, really about to leave. He was anxious to go downstairs and stop her but couldn’t let go of his last bit of dignity. Especially since Grandfather gave him strict orders not to stop Raina from doing what she wants. Adrian Grant knew, once Raina Lowell leaves, she might never return. After all, she’s going to be with her child and the child’s father. Their family reunion would be so joyful, why would she ever come back to The Grant Family? Adrian Grant suddenly felt his heart breaking, clearly reluctant for her to leave. But seeing the car taking Raina away slowly driving out of The Grant Family courtyard, he didn’t go downstairs to stop it. He stood rigid and stiff by the window, inexplicable tears welling up in his eyes. She didn’t even say goodbye to him before leaving. So, what does he mean to her? Adrian Grant staggered, his body sliding weakly down by the window, his legs giving out till he sat on the floor. Leaning against the wall, he stared out at the half-open sky, tears fogging his vision, his heart suddenly feeling empty. His face was desolate, his voice hoarse, "Raina Lowell, will you ever come back?" "In your heart, do you truly not love me at all?" All day, Adrian Grant didn’t step out of his room. The family thought he had left for work ages ago, and no one noticed his presence. By noon, Isabelle Everett accompanied Mrs. Everett to visit Old Master Grant. From Mrs. Grant chatting with her mother, she learned Raina Lowell had left, was going to fetch her foster child. So this family, and Raina Lowell, all didn’t know the child belonged to The Grant Family. And Raina, to maintain her status as Mrs. Grant, didn’t confess the child was hers. Isabelle Everett considered it the best opportunity for The Grant Family to despise Raina Lowell, intentionally revealing in front of Mrs. Grant that the child was Raina’s. Upon learning about this, Mrs. Grant confronted Adrian Grant. After Adrian Grant admitted it, she was furious, forcing Adrian Grant to divorce Raina Lowell no matter what. That evening, Raina Lowell was taken to the country’s forest castle. In the castle, the servants were packing up. Because their young master was going to be expelled overseas in a week. When Raina Lowell arrived at the castle door, the butler personally greeted her. The butler respectfully invited her inside, "Young Madam, you finally came, the young master has been going out of his mind missing you these days."
