Read My Past is Just Prologue By Louisa Dillon Chapter 71 – A Second Chance
It was surprising that old Mr. Webster welcomed Janet in.
Looking at how calm Janet was, Nathaniel had mixed feelings.
“Mr. Webster, would you please wait here? Old Mr. Webster’s condition is not so good, and he can’t afford to be p*ssed off again.”
Albert was sensible. He didn’t want to see any conflict between Nathaniel and old Mr. Webster, so he emphasized old Mr. Webster’s poor condition, trying to let Nathaniel realize that Nathaniel had done some wrong.
“Thank you, Albert. I will.”
Lowering his head, Nathaniel became silent.
As soon as Janet stepped into the villa, she saw old Mr. Webster sitting on the huge balcony, the crystal coffee table in front of him had brewed fragrant tea, and the steam was slowly rising, while he was looking up at the starry sky.
Perhaps it was out of guilt, Janet felt that old Mr. Webster looked extremely lonely.
“Grandpa, how are you?”
Skillfully taking off the coat placed on the coat rack in the living room, Janet walked to old Mr. Webster’s side naturally and put
the coat on for him.
“It’s still a little cold at night. Don’t catch a cold.”
“I’m fine. Albert turned on the floor heater for me. It’s warm here.”
Old Mr. Webster reviewed a bright smile when he saw Janet. He waved at Janet and said, “Come here, Jill. I miss you.”
To be honest, Janet felt nervous when she saw old Mr. Webster again. After all, she and Nathaniel had divorced.
She didn’t speak and sat opposite old Mr. Webster.
Old Mr. Webster looked at Janet and then frowned, saying worriedly, “You have lost a lot of weight. Have you had meals regularly recently? Not used to eating outside?”
Old Mr. Webster was sophisticated.
He didn’t ask Janet if she couldn’t fit in the life after she left the Webster family. Instead, he cared about Janet’s health. In fact, he was indicating that the reason why Janet lost weight was that she left here.
“Sorry, I made you worried, grandpa.”
Janet lowered her head, holding the hot tea that old Mr. Webster handed her.
One could only taste this kind of tea in the Webster family.
But after so many years, Nathaniel never believed in her.
Janet’s hand slowly slid down, and there was a stream of light in her eyes. “Grandpa, we just don’t have feelings for each other, and that’s it.”
After a pause, she seemed to feel relieved and looked at old Mr. Webster with a smile. “Grandpa, please let us solve our problems, okay?”
Although Janet said so, old Mr. Webster was unwilling to give up.
“I am worried about you. You’re too young and too emotional. Why don’t you have a sincere conversation to see if you can solve all the problems?”
Janet didn’t respond.
Albert, who had been paying attention to old Mr. Webster, went to call Nathaniel immediately when he saw that old Mr. Webster was choking, so Nathaniel happened to come in through the main entrance just after old Mr. Webster finished
speaking.
“Grandpa.”
Seeing that old Mr. Webster was fine, Nathaniel felt relieved.
Then he turned to look at Janet, but Janet didn’t seem to care about his arrival.
