The Hidden Empress Stripping Her Secrets After Divorce novel Chapter 409

Her mind was utterly consumed by the face she had just seen.

It was too similar.

He looked exactly like that man.

Her fingers started shaking all over again.

In Paris, at the Rothschild Estate.

The morning sun poured through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows into the dining room, bathing the long table in a warm, golden glow.

Evelyn, dressed in a beige knit maxi dress with her hair falling loosely around her shoulders, walked down the stairs.

She paused when she saw who was sitting at the table.

Charles sat at the head of the table in a dark gray dressing gown, leisurely reading the newspaper over a cup of coffee. His hair was impeccably groomed, and he looked to be in exceptionally high spirits.

"Grandpa?" Evelyn walked over. "Why are you still here today? You're usually out the door by this time."

Charles lowered his newspaper, beaming at her with utter adoration.

"Today, I canceled all my meetings with those old cronies."

Evelyn raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Why is that?"

Charles puffed his chest out proudly. "Today is our Little Treasure's first prenatal check-up. Of course I have to go."

Evelyn was caught off guard.

"Grandpa, you really don't have to..."

"Yes, I do," Charles interrupted her firmly. "It's the first check-up, I absolutely have to be there. And I'm going to be there for every single one after this too."

He paused, his tone taking on the stubbornness of a child.

"That way, my precious granddaughter knows exactly how much her grandpa treasures her."

Seeing him act like this, a deep warmth flooded Evelyn's chest.

She sat down across from him and smiled. "How do you know it's a girl?"

Charles waved his hand dismissively. "It's definitely a girl. I can feel it."

Evelyn just laughed and didn't argue.

The butler walked over with her breakfast and set it down in front of her.
