The Contract Said No Strings Attached (Charlotte) novel Chapter 473

Garcia nodded, her tone unwavering. “Yes, ma’am. Please wait for me at home—I’ll come find you right away.”

The moment she hung up, anxiety gnawed at her. She hurriedly fixed her hair and makeup, checked her clothes in the mirror, grabbed her purse, and rushed out the door.

...

It took some convincing, but Garcia finally managed to talk Mrs. Austin out of going to Sunset Villa Estates. Instead, she steered her toward a quiet little bistro.

“Ma’am, you have to believe me—I’d never lie to you. And even if those four kids do look a bit like Mr. Austin, that doesn’t mean anything. There are plenty of lookalikes in this world. It could just be a coincidence.”

Mrs. Austin sighed. “It’s your father-in-law. I have no idea why he’s so stubborn about this.”

Garcia’s eyes darted thoughtfully. “Ma’am, he just wants a great-grandchild so badly. You know how he’s always hoped the Austin family would have an heir. Maybe he’s just anxious, so he’s starting to see things that aren’t there.”

Mrs. Austin nodded. “You’re right. Dylan’s grandfather has been dreaming of a great-grandchild for years. Honestly, so have I. But Dylan… he’s just not living up to expectations. What am I supposed to do?”

Garcia seized her chance. “Please don’t worry, ma’am. I’ll do my best to win Mr. Austin’s heart. I promise, I’ll give the Austin family its heir.”

“Garcia, I believe in you,” Mrs. Austin said, squeezing her hand. “You just have to keep trying—make Dylan fall for you.”

Garcia nodded, her voice soft but determined. “Don’t worry, ma’am. I will.”

As they spoke, Garcia suddenly spotted Dylan and Rebecca entering the restaurant together.
