Grandma had always spoiled her.
So why did it feel like she was being warned today?
Did she do something wrong?
She set the vase down on the bedside table. Turning back, she saw Grandma lying there, eyes closed, looking peaceful. Quietly, she pulled the quilt up around her and tiptoed out, gently closing the door behind her.
The second the door clicked shut, Grandma’s eyes snapped open.
Wendy’s eyes looked distant, almost wary.
Out in the living room, Tina finished off the rest of her coffee.
Kelly showed up late, as usual.
The moment Kelly walked in, Tina quickly put down her cup. “Is Grandma feeling okay?”
“She’s fine,” Kelly replied, smoothing her dress as she sat down.
“You’re amazing, honestly. All these years, taking care of Grandma like that.”
Kelly smiled, just a hint of amusement. “It’s really nothing. Grandma’s always been healthy. Mostly, I just keep her company.”
“There are maids and staff for the real care. They don’t really need me for that.”
After a few more pleasantries, Tina finally cut to the chase. “I went to see Patricia this morning. She swears up and down that she and Theo aren’t divorced.”
Right at that moment, the housekeeper came in with fresh coffee. Kelly’s hand froze halfway to her cup.
Even the housekeeper looked up, eyes wide—so they really did get divorced?
Everyone had been gossiping that it was only a matter of time. Turns out, it actually happened.
