When she left, He went crazy

Chapter 58 Still Doubt Evelyn.

Upon hearing this, I was somewhat surprised but quickly figured out the reason.

Elissa furrowed her brow, looking at me with confusion, and whispered, "Did Christopher suddenly change?"

I watched as Evelyn was sent away by the bodyguard, gently pursing my lips. "He's simply provoked; that's why he wants to make it up to me."

As the most beloved grandson, when grandpa was on his deathbed, he was not there. He had angered Grandpa on the day of his passing.

How could he not feel guilty, remorseful, or self-blaming?

His way of expressing remorse was by asking me to be his wife for the rest of his life.

But this had nothing to do with me at all.

After the funeral, I returned to Valence Manor with Barry to sort through Grandpa's belongings.

The servants had sort through some of them; the rest were Grandpa's usual clothes.

When I picked up a piece of clothing and held it in my hands, I had a strange feeling that Grandpa hadn't left yet.

As I tidied up, I pondered. Then I asked, "Barry, are you sure there were pills in Grandpa's pocket the day before yesterday?"

"There must be. You've mentioned to me that it's crucial to have his medication prepared, especially during temperature fluctuations. It's been cold lately, so I check it every morning." Barry finished his answer and looked at me carefully. "Mrs. Valence... do you suspect Evelyn?"

"I didn't know, I shook my head.

Just...

My gut told me it was not that simple. But I didn't have any proof. My gut was inadmissible as evidence. Moreover, I was not sure about my suspect because I was inherently hostile to her. After thinking for a while, I said, "These past few days, when the housekeeper was cleaning, did they happen to see any medicine bottles dropped on the floor?"

Barry thought for a moment and confirmed. "No, if they find anything on him, they will let me know."

If the bottle falls in the

With a slight pause, Barry continued. "I'll pay more attention later. The pill bottle is very small. If the bottle yard, it might not be noticed for a while."

"Okay."

I carefully packed up Grandpa's belongings, afraid of breaking or damaging

The things left behind by the departed, for each one that went bad, one less remained.

In the end, I held the bracelet in my hand and asked, "Barry, can I take this? I want to keep assor

Grandpa had worn the bracelet when he was alive. I wanted to keep it. When I missed Grandpa, I could look

Regarding the deceased, I once saw such lines in a TV series: If you often talk about me with others, if you frequently reminisce about me, then I am still alive by your side.

"Of course you can. If Mr. Bentley knew how much you miss him, he must be very happy in another world

Barry wiped away the tears from the corner of his eye. These days, he had become much more weathend

He suddenly remembered something. "Oh! Wait for me for a minute.

Then, Barry opened the safe in Mr. Bentley's bedroom and took out two vehet boxes from inside. He choked up before even speaking, "When he found out you were pregnant, he was overjoyed. Mr. Bentley could tell that you didn't want to tell Christopher, so Mr. Bentley asked me not to tell anyone either. He said you were delicate and sensitive. Whe you're ready to share, you'll tell everyone. He told us not to add I pressure on you and not to force you to stay in Valence family because of this child."

"This is... the birth gift he prepared for the children. He had never been so careful in choosing gifts. He asked me every day whether your child would be a boy or a girl and what kind of gifts he should prepare."

I instantly burst into tears. I took the velvet box with trembling hands.

I opened the box. Inside it were two gems. One was a Ruby. The other one was a Sapphire.

It was hard to find gems of this quality. I could feel how carefully Grandpa chose the gift.

I carefully closed the lid, sniffed, and asked, "When did Grandpa find out I was pregnant?"

He knew all along, but to take care of my emotions, he never once asked me about it.

Barry said, "After the last family dinner, he had someone investigate your medical records. Please don't blame him. B was just worried that something might be wrong with your health and that you kept it from him, avoiding his worry."

"How could I blame him....

The more I cried, the louder it became. "I just blame myself."

If I had told Grandpa earlier, he would have been happier for a while fonger.

He wouldn't have to be so cautious and even not dare to ask me about the baby.

"You are pregnant, which is a wonderful thing. Mr. Bentley must be very happy."

Chapter 58 Still Doubt Evelyn

Barry comforted me, recalling the words my grandfather had entrusted to me. By the way, he mentioned it before. If one day you decide to divorce Christopher, you can take the child with you. The Valence family is only responsible for providing financial support."

I was completely stunned, unable to say a word, I felt a bitter taste in my mouth.

So it turned out..

I had always been too guarded. Grandfather had never thought about taking away the custody of the child.

"Just..."

Barry hesitated before speaking, "Ultimately, Mr. Bentley still hopes that you and Christopher can be a happy couple." "Okay, I got it."

1 took a deep breath and let the tears flow down my face. "Please help me keep the fact that I'm pregnant."

Barry nodded solemnly. "Don't worry."

When I left Grandpa's room again, I felt a bit lost.

I suddenly realized the guilt Christopher felt towards his grandfather.

When I returned to the bedroom, Christopher had just finished showering and come out of the bathroom. His hair was still damp. He looked at me, furrowing his brows slightly, and said, "Why are you crying again?"

"Christopher,"

I closed my eyes, trying hard to control the urge to cry. "Did you keep your promise from the day before yesterday?"

After he took a shower, he seemed much more awake. He looked at me. "Of course."

"Will you not disappear again because of her phone call?"

His voice was steady and deep. "No."

"Before we officially divorced, if you could keep it up, our marriage would continue."

I looked up at him and said, "If you can't, we will divorce immediately."

As soon as my words fell, he suddenly pulled me into his arms. He gently nuzzled my head with his cheek as if cherishing a long-lost treasure that had been found again. At that moment, I felt dazed. I dared not easily trust him again.

I whispered, "Before that, let's

I tried to keep myself rational. I didn't want to be easily swayed by Chris' tendernes not share a room. Should you switch rooms, or should I? I'll ask Donna to prepare in advance."

He stiffened and rubbed my hair. "We're not going back to Moon Lake Bay; we're staying at the Valence Manor. Are you
