Chapter 73

She glanced nervously at Ginny, and when she saw the older woman’s face darken, her gaze sharp as a blade, she immediately shut her mouth.

Ginny was usually kind and easygoing, always smoothing things over, but whenever it came to Autumn, her bias was absolute.

That was exactly what she and her mother resented the most about Autumn.

She never fought or demanded anything, yet somehow always had Ginny’s unconditional affection.

Meanwhile, they toiled day in and day out for this family, taking care of everyone, and still couldn’t win Ginny’s approval.

It just wasn’t fair.

Simon had also come around by then.

It didn’t seem likely that Autumn had the power to ruin a major partnership.

If they wanted that deal to go through, he would have to negotiate it himself.

There was a major banquet in two days-perfect timing to talk with Ethan about renewing the collaboration and maybe even ask him a few technical questions.

And if he could catch Wilson’s attention and secure a partnership, that would be ideal.

After all, everyone invited to the banquet had their eyes set on working with Wilson.

The only question was, who would be the lucky one?

Irene brought out the last dish and wheeled Ginny toward the dining room. “Dinner’s ready, ma’am.”

That was when Autumn remembered that she’d come back to make oatmeal for her grandmother.

She headed into the kitchen and spent quite a while preparing it.

By the time she carried out the finished oatmeal, the rest of the family had already gone upstairs after dinner.

She really didn’t belong in this house.

Setting the bowl down in front of Ginny, she untied her apron and said, “Grandma, I’ll head back now.”

Irene quickly stepped in. “Ms. Autumn, it’s so late. Why don’t you eat something before you leave?”

Autumn glanced at the table, which was covered in leftovers.

She shook her head.

“No, it’s fine. I already ate. Grandma, take care and get plenty of rest. I’ll come visit again in a few days.”

“Alright.” Ginny slipped a bank card into her hand.

“You came all the way back for me and put up with so much tonight. Take this.

“There’s forty thousand in there. Life isn’t easy out there-buy yourself something good to eat, get your strength back.

“You’ve gotten so thin, it breaks my heart to see you like this.”

Ginny gently touched Autumn’s increasingly delicate face, her eyes filled with sorrow.

Every time she looked at her, it was like seeing her second daughter all over again.

That was why her heart always leaned toward this granddaughter.

The rest of the Lewis family never understood why Ginny favored Autumn, the one who grew up outside, over Luna, who had been raised at her side.

But only Ginny knew the truth-she was trying to make up for all she owed her second daughter, and she could no longer right those past wrongs.

The only thing she could do now was to give Autumn a better life.

Autumn pushed the card back.
