Ex-husband’s Regret (Ryan and Charlotte) novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143 

I hesitated for a moment, glanced into the bag, and saw two exquisite velvet boxes inside. They contained the jade pendant Grandpa had prepared for the child. 

A wave of intense pain swept through me. Goldly, I spoke, “This was something Grandpa prepared for the child. Since the child is no more, it should be returned to you.”
