When His Perfect Mask Shattered I Awoke (Anneliese and Zacharias) novel Chapter 589

Jonathan really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Grandma, whose side are you on?"

Penelope gave a little snort. "Of course I'm on Anne's side. I've always liked that girl. Now that I know you lied to her and owe her so much, don't even think about getting ahead of Anne in this house. You'd better have some self-awareness."

Jonathan was speechless.

Noticing the silence, Penelope spoke up again. "Why so quiet? Did your wife really leave you?"

Jonathan felt like Penelope's words had stabbed him in the chest like daggers. He loosened his tie and answered. "No, Anne loves me. We're fine. But her grandmother found out about the incident and can't accept me. Her health isn't great, so she can't take any more stress..."

Penelope rolled her eyes when Jonathan spoke so confidently about Anneliese loving him.

But since he seemed so sure, Penelope felt reassured that their relationship hadn't actually been affected.

She smiled a little. She'd really been worried that Anneliese might leave Jonathan for good—he'd probably lose his mind.

"It's not strange that Anne's grandmother can't accept it. She lost her only daughter, after all.

"These things can't be rushed. Anne is close to her grandmother, and I am sure her grandmother cares deeply for her, too. Any grandparent just wants their grandchildren to be happy—nothing else matters.

"In time, her grandmother will understand. Be patient, and show her your sincerity. The most important thing is to show her how much you love Anne."

After Penelope finished, Jonathan relaxed a little. They exchanged a few more words, and he hung up.

Penelope sat with her phone, then called a maid over.

"Pack my suitcase. I'm going to Oceanton tomorrow."

The maid answered right away and went to get the suitcase. Derek came in from outside and frowned when he saw what was happening.

"Are you leaving me alone for the holidays again?"

Penelope glanced at Derek and waved for the maid not to worry about him. "Just go pack."

Once the maid left for the closet, she said, "I'm going to Oceanton tomorrow."

Derek's frown deepened. "Why do you keep running off to Oceanton? I let you go before because you wanted to get some fresh air, but now the holidays aren't even over. I don't want you to go!"
