Ready to Rule: The Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 656
Nathaniel felt miserable, like he’d just swallowed a bug and couldn’t get rid of the taste.
“I’m fine, Mom. I just want to be alone for a bit.”
He pulled out a chair, sat down, and stared into space, looking like he was questioning his whole existence.
Mabel shot him a look and let out a little snort. “This boy. Always locking horns with Chris. He’s gotten obsessed, honestly.”
Cameron and Kylie exchanged glances. Everyone knew the Robinsons and Jeffersons were rivals in politics. It wasn’t something they could fix, even if they wanted to.
Trying to change the subject, Elliot spoke up. “Aunt Mabel, how have Grandpa and Grandma been lately?”
Any conversation about the Robinsons and Jeffersons always ended up killing the mood, so this was a welcome change.
At the mention of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, Mabel sighed. “They’re about the same as always. Some days are good, some aren’t. Your grandpa is as stubborn as ever. He refuses his medicine, won’t rest when he should. I worry all the time that his stroke will come back.”
Lydia’s curiosity got the better of her. “Grandpa had a stroke?”
Mabel turned to her, hopeful. “Lydia, you know medicine, right? If you have time, could you check on your grandparents? It would mean a lot.”
Lydia nodded right away. “Of course. As long as they’re okay with it, I’d be happy to.”
Kylie lowered her eyes, sadness flickering across her face.
If she hadn’t chosen Cameron over her own family all those years ago, maybe her parents wouldn’t still be shutting her and her kids out.
Mabel smiled warmly. “Leave it to me.” She looked at Kylie and continued, “Don’t be too upset. Your parents have wanted to make up for a long time, they just haven’t had the right chance. If Lydia’s visit can help smooth things over, that would be wonderful.”
Mr. Robinson was stubborn to his core. He clearly missed his daughter, but his pride wouldn’t let him say it out loud.
“Thank you, Mabel. I’m grateful,” Kylie said softly.
