If you have time , please come visit her more often . " Hearing that , Anathea looked at Brisa's aging face , still bright with laughter . For a moment , she was reminded of her late grandmother . They had the same warm , carefree smile . She nodded . " Of course . " But deep down , she knew that the next time she visited , she wouldn't be coming as Gregory's wife .
