Katherine pursed her lips, listening to Old Mrs. Grant.
Since Old Mr. Grant’s death, Old Mrs. Grant had been so strong that she seemed to have accepted it.
But she was always miserable inside.
Katherine knew her feelings well.
Katherine was also like her after her own grandpa’s death. She had to be strong, while she cannot be weak and fragile.
But in fact, the heart had been riddled with holes.
Life and death, no one can accept it easily.
And it's not so easy to step over it.
Katherine pulled Old Mrs. Grant’s hand and sighed.
Old Mrs. Grant turned to look at Katherine, “So, I hope that you can focus on your life, instead of work. We can just live for decades of years, and it’s not worthy to work for your lifetime.”
Katherine nodded, "I see, grandma. I know what you mean."
They sat there for a while, and Frances came.
Frances carried a bag of fruits and came over. She said by the door of the living room, “Katherine, have you miss me?”
Katherine paused and turned to her, showing a smile, “Why come so late? I thought you will come here earlier.”
She stood up and went over to help take the bag from Frances.
But Frances avoided her, “You don’t take it and it is heavy."
There's a servant and she took it.
Frances told the servant, “Katherine likes the grapes. Please wash some for her."
She looked a little at home.
After that, Frances took a seat on the sofa. "I went back to the Mason family, but I still worried about you, so I come here now.”
Frances stared at Katherine, "Why? You don’t look well.”
She stroked her face. "Do I? Maybe I didn't rest well last night.
"
Old Mrs. Grant also made fun, “Marshall worked overtime yesterday and slept in the company. So Katherine felt uncomfortable.”
Frances laughed, “It’s nothing. There will be more things like that. You should learn from me, and I have been relieved from that. It’s inevitable that they have to work."
Khalid used to live in the company when busy.
What's more, he always puts his work in the first place and sometimes he would not go home for several days.
Frances had to be unhappy for that and she even had quarrels with Khalid.
She didn't want a married life where two people didn't see each other for days.
Khalid promised not to work so hard, but he never kept his promises.
Frances messed up for that a lot of times, but it didn’t work. Finally, she gradually accepted it.
In fact, thinking about it, she also made a lot of compromise in the marriage.
Katherine nodded, “I called Marshall in the morning and he said he might come back early today."
Frances laughed, “You the youth never become sick of each other.”
Old Mrs. Grant also laughed, “You just said so. Khalid went to you every day, or you'd be worried if He doesn’t."
