Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1140

So he decided to settle down in Jindale City!

Not only could he be near his grandson at all times, but he could also pass on his skills whenever he wished!

He aimed to teach Emmett everything he knew in his lifetime, ensuring that Emmett would carry on his legacy and shine in the fashion world!

Elysia was thrilled, “Thank you for making this possible. I know it might be a bit of a hassle for you.”

Bertram immediately responded,

“It's no hassle at all. I should be the one thanking you. Without you, I wouldn't have such a wonderful grandson! He's healthy and sensible, all thanks to Ms. Thorne!”

“I came in a rush today and didn’t bring a proper gift for Ms. Thorne, but we'll have plenty of time in the future!”

Elysia wanted to refuse, but then she thought of Winona.

Winona adored Bertram’s creations to the point of obsession!

If she knew her godson was Bertram’s own grandson, she’d be over the moon!

So, Elysia silently accepted the future promise of a generous gift, planning to save it for Winona.

When Winona came back for the holidays, she’d immediately take her to visit Bertram!

“Don’t worry, Emmett. Grandpa’s not going to steal you away. How about a hug for grandpa?”

Emmett looked towards Elysia with big, sparkling eyes, and she gently nodded.

Only then did Emmett open his arms wide and leap into Bertram’s embrace.

“Hi, Grandpa.”

Bertram’s eyes reddened again, his voice choked up as he tried to hold back tears, “Oh, oh, oh.”

He had thought he'd end up a lonely old man, but now he had a grandson. How could he not be thrilled?

Holding his grandson, Bertram took a deep breath, looked up to the sky, his eyes brimming with tears,

“Thank you, Lord! Thank you! Thank you for not forsaking me! Oh, oh, oh…”

Elysia was also moved, her eyes reddening with emotion.
