Grace did have plenty to talk about with Suzy, though most of it was spent persuading her not to forgive Dylan, insisting they weren’t a good match.
“Grandma, have you forgotten that you’re his biological grandmother?” Suzy couldn’t help but laugh. What kind of grandmother sides against her own grandson this much? Not only did she not speak up for Dylan, but she was constantly leaning toward Suzy’s side. Dylan’s psychological scars from this must be
enormous.
“So what if I’m his biological grandmother?” Grace replied, pursing her lips. “Just because I’m related to him doesn’t mean I have to side with him. I stand by what’s right, not what’s close. He didn’t cherish what he had, and that’s why things turned out this way.
“Compared to him, I care more about your happiness, because your life has been far too hard already.”
Grace’s voice grew softer, her eyes reddening as she spoke. “My poor child, you’ve endured so much, and I haven’t been able to do much to help you. I feel like I’ve failed you.
“Grandma…” Suzy didn’t want to hear Grace blaming herself.

“You’ve already done so much for me. Even if my own grandmother were alive, she couldn’t have treated me better. No matter what, whenever Dylan and I had disagreements, you’ve always unconditionally supported me. And now, you never force me to do anything I don’t want to.”
If it had been any other grandmother, she might have already started pressuring them to reconcile. But Grace never did.
Suzy felt deeply grateful to Grace. From the moment they met, she had treated Suzy as if she were her own granddaughter. In contrast, Suzy felt that if anyone should feel guilty, it was her. Back then, she had intentionally approached Grace and used her to marry Dylan.
“You’re a wonderful child,” Grace said warmly. “If I didn’t trust you, who would I trust? From the moment I first met you, I felt an inexplicable bond with you. Even though you approached me with ulterior motives, I was willing to let you, because I knew you never had bad intentions toward that stubborn boy.”
The more Grace looked at Suzy, the more fond she became of her. “Let me tell you a little secret. I actually knew your grandmother!”
“You knew my grandmother?” Suzy blinked in surprise. That was something she hadn’t known.
Grace chuckled warmly. “That’s right. We went to the same school. But she didn’t remember me- actually, it’s more accurate to say I remembered her, but she had no idea who I was!
“She was a year ahead of me. It was freshman orientation day, and I was carrying way too many things. Someone bumped into me, and my suitcase broke open, spilling everything onto the ground.
“There were lots of people passing by, but most of them just stood there watching, amused by the scene. Only she stopped to help me. She crouched down, picked everything up, and even walked me all the way to my dorm.
“That one act stuck with me, and after that, I couldn’t help but pay attention to her. But she never

noticed mé.”
Seeing Grace’s expression, as if she were recounting an encounter with a long–lost idol, Suzy couldn’t help but laugh. “Why didn’t you try to befriend her?”
“I wanted to,” Grace said with a grin. “But she was so popular! Not only did she have plenty of boys around her, but even the girls liked her. And at that time, she was always busy with your grandfather, caught up in their whirlwind romance. She had no time for me!”
Thinking back to those days, Grace’s face lit up with a fond smile. “You actually look a lot like her. That’s why, the first time I saw you, I suspected you might be her granddaughter. I even secretly had someone look into it. And to my surprise, I was right!”
“So, all the kindness you’ve shown me is because of my grandmother?” Suzy teased with a playful smile.
Grace laughed, shaking her head. “Of course not! You’re special in your own right. But let’s just say you being her granddaughter didn’t hurt!”
