After Sebastian left, Natalie had Luna drive her to the Griffith family’s estate. The residence was located in Yaro’s most exclusive, high-end neighborhood. She used to come here often on weekends to spend time with the old madam. She brought some pastries she knew the old woman liked and went in alone. The estate was quiet and serene, with fresh air and a distinctive, luxurious villa.
“Natalie, you’re here,” Mrs. Griffith greeted her. Dressed in a white dress, she exuded an air of elegance. Born into a prestigious family, she remained graceful even at seventy.
Natalie put down the gifts and gave the old woman a warm hug. “Grandma, I’ve missed you so much.”
Mrs. Griffith smiled, patting her on the back. “Silly girl. If you missed me, why didn’t you come to visit?”
Natalie looked at her kind face. She had been beautiful in her youth, and the grace with which she had aged gave her a unique charm. “Grandma, you know about the situation between me and Mr. Griffith,” Natalie said with a bitter smile.
Mrs. Griffith took her hand and led her to a seat, patting it gently. “Natalie, Sebastian doesn’t understand love. I know you’ve been wronged. Just give him some time. He can tell right from wrong. That manipulative little thing, Joanna, is beneath him. He’ll realize it eventually.”
Natalie shook her head. “Grandma, you were young once too. When you love someone, you don’t count the costs. You see them through rose-colored glasses, blind to all their faults.” “Sebastian and Joanna grew up together. They share too many beautiful memories. I know you’re good to me and won’t force me.” She knew Mrs. Griffith’s character well enough to have a frank conversation. The old woman squeezed her hand, her expression full of regret. “It was my wishful thinking. That boy of mine doesn’t deserve you.”
Years ago, her grandson had been on the verge of giving up completely, a terrifying path for anyone to tread. Just one month of despair could have pushed him into an abyss.
Natalie nodded with a smile. “Grandma, I loved Sebastian for four years and couldn't make him love me. It wasn't meant to be. Loving him once brought me down to my knees, but now I want to climb to the clouds. I don't want to fail myself again or waste any more of my life. The days ahead, the days without Sebastian, will be happy ones.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Griffith’s face broke into a broad, genuine smile. “Natalie, you are destined for great things. Never humble yourself to dust for anyone, no matter how much you love them. I told you that before, and now you finally understand.”
