Chapter 1140
Alfredo said, “Can you stop brooding over the past? Your breakup back then was a misunderstanding, you didn’t really abandon her and the kid. Before she passed away, you didn’t find her. However, after she died, your granddaughter suddenly appeared by your side, isn’t this a sign that she has forgiven you?”
“No, she hasn’t forgiven me, she’s still blaming me. She should blame me…” Grandpa Augustine roared with emotion, and Alfredo couldn’t calm him down. He said to the door, “Butler, go get Ms. Stewart immediately.”
Unresolved issues only brought continuous pain, only by resolving them could they find peace. The butler understood this, so upon receiving the order, he rushed to Cornelia’s room.
When he knocked on the door, Cornelia had just taken a bath and was getting ready for bed. As soon as she heard that Grandpa Augustine needed her, she immediately followed the butler to Silvia’s Haven.
Upon reaching the door, Cornelia saw the photo inside the room. It was of a young girl with two big braids.
Cornelia had seen this photo before, it was one of the few photos of Granny Rebecca and the only one from her youth. She remembered Granny Rebecca saying that the photo was taken by a someone who thought Granny Rebecca was pretty.
In those days, taking photos wasn’t easy, and many people might never have seen a camera in their lives.
Granny Rebecca treasured this photo, even had it laminated at a photo studio. She said she had two copies of the photo, one of which she gave to her first boyfriend. At that time, Cornelia wanted to know who Granny Rebecca’s first boyfriend was, but Granny Rebecca didn’t want to talk about it. Now it seemed that Grandpa Augustine was indeed her real grandfather and the man Granny Rebecca never wanted to mention.
Alfredo said, “Nelly, don’t just stand there, come and talk to your grandpa.”
Maybe hearing Cornelia’s name had a calming effect on the emotionally charged Grandpa Augustine, he looked at Cornelia like a child who had done something wrong, “Nelly, why are you here?”
“The butler asked me to come.” Cornelia’s gaze swept over them a few times.
Even if they didn’t tell her anything, she could guess that Grandpa Augustine probably knew the truth now.
Grandpa Augustine shot the butler a displeased look, “It’s so late. You’re not letting Nelly rest, why did you call her here?”
The butler said, “I was worried something might happen to you, and I hope that you can let go of the past. I hope Ms. Stewart can help you get out of your guilt.”
Grandpa Augustine said, “None of that now.”
