Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 244

After wrapping up work at the office, Emmy made a quick stop at the nursing home.

She’d already missed her volunteer shift for the month, but she still brought a bag of fresh fruit and some health supplements. Her mom’s mom had passed away when Emmy was little. Her dad’s mom, on the other hand, was a tough, unreasonable woman who got into a fight with her youngest son over the family house back when Emmy was in high school. She ended up getting pushed down the stairs and died. Emmy remembered thinking, well, what goes around comes around.

Maybe that was why she’d always been a little jealous of kids who had a loving grandma in their lives.

It wasn’t until she started volunteering at the nursing home that she met Mrs. Weller—a sweet, slightly sassy old lady who always knew how to cheer her up.

But lately, Mrs. Weller’s health seemed to be getting worse.

When Emmy pushed open the door, she found Mrs. Weller sitting by the window, squinting at the newspaper through her reading glasses.

The old lady stared at her a moment, then her eyes lit up. She slapped her knee and let out a laugh.

“Well, look who’s here! Emmy, you get prettier every time I see you. If my oldest grandson could marry someone as lovely as you, he’d probably wake up laughing from his dreams every night!”

As she spoke, a playful energy sparked in her eyes, and she suddenly looked almost like a kid again.

“Hey, should I call him over right now? Maybe if you two meet, you’ll just click!”

She started waving at the nurse, asking for her phone, already acting like she was about to make the call.

Emmy couldn’t help but laugh and quickly reached out to stop her.

“Mrs. Weller, did you forget? Your oldest grandson already eloped and got married!”

Mrs. Weller paused, thinking hard. “Did he? Oh, I guess he did.”

But then she brightened again. “No worries! I’ve got plenty of grandsons. Take your pick! What do you say?”

Emmy gave up trying to reason with her.

She leaned in, lowered her voice, and whispered, “Mrs. Weller, I got married too. Next time, I’ll bring my husband to meet you.”

Mrs. Weller’s eyes went wide, her face full of dramatic disappointment.

“What’s with you young people and all this eloping? Is it some new trend?”

Emmy just smiled, letting her have the last word.

She stood up, grabbed the cashmere shawl hanging over the back of the chair, and gently draped it over Mrs. Weller’s shoulders.
