The Unwavering Heart That Broke (Nathalie and Lance) novel Chapter 654

"If your father says anything harsh, please don't take it to heart, okay? He's just been stuck in his own head. He doesn't mean any harm," Madonna said cautiously.

"I don't care," Lance replied coolly.

"Lance..." Madonna's heart ached at his indifference. How could he not care? Being treated so terribly by his own father must have left some resentment. Lance's calm facade was only because he and Jackson had been so close growing up.

"Also, I'd like to bring your grandmother back to stay for a few days..." Madonna ventured.

"Absolutely not." Lance's tone hardened. "Mom, what Grandma did was unforgivable. I can't forgive her. She's perfectly fine living abroad. If you want a family reunion, go visit her there."

Madonna fell silent.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up," Lance said coldly.

Madonna quickly recovered. "I just wanted to chat a bit more. But if you're busy, we can talk when I get back for the holidays."

"Yeah." Lance hung up shortly after.

"Nathalie?" he called out immediately.
