My Second Husband novel Chapter 244

Kaylene's words seemed to have evoked Bethany's sadness. She paused, "Hank was indeed a good child. Whenever we celebrated his birthday, he would always give me the first piece of cake and he would say that the birthday of a child is a day of suffering for the mother. Back then, he had always said that he would make it up to me once he grows up but who knew that he..."

Bethany was visibly saddened when she spoke of this. Her fingers paused and she wiped the corner of her eyes.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore."

Kaylene dared not say anything else when she realized that Bethany was upset. She said hurriedly, "Shall I take you back for a rest?"

"No, you should head back first. I'll stay here for a little while more!"

Kaylene turned around and left. She immediately frowned after closing the door behind her. She glanced in the direction where Eudora was staying at and then walked back to her own room.

There were several small buildings in the Granger family's mansion. The Old Master and Bethany were living in the main building which was situated in the absolute center in the mansion. Meanwhile, Amos and Eudora were staying in a small red building next to the main building.

Harry and Kaylene lived a little further away. They were staying in a villa behind the main building with a garden in between.

At this moment, Harry was drinking some tea. When he saw Kaylene, he asked without looking at her, "How was it?"

Kaylene's face was dark, "Bethany has gone senile. She's very close to Eudora now. She was chatting with her in front of Hank's memorial tablet when I was there just now."

Harry frowned but he soon said, "Hasn't my sister-in-law always been like this? Otherwise, Hank wouldn't have died when he was so young. She doesn't even take the duty of a mother seriously. Who would care about her child?!"

"What should we do then? I heard from the servants that the Old Master had already promised Amos that he will let Eudora and Juju stay here. If they continue to get along, it will only be a matter of time before they get married. Then, what's the point of us living in humiliation for so many years?"

Harry's fingers paused slightly, "Did my brother really agree to let that woman live with us?"

"Yes! Amos has already gone to the company to deal with some affairs."

Harry was a little nervous, "I thought that my brother hated that woman."

"Who knows? I told you that she is not as simple as she looks. Now, both the father and the son are fascinated by her."

"Nonsense. Why would my brother like her?"

"So what if he doesn't like her? His time is limited. Wouldn't everything belong to Amos once he dies?"

"Impossible!" Harry spoke through gritted teeth, "This brat humiliated me back then and I haven't settled anything with him yet! I have been listening to my brother all these years and haven't done anything. I even let my brother send Steven overseas. Now, it's obvious that my brother is going to leave everything to that brat. My brother shouldn't blame me for being ungrateful then!"

He then suddenly asked, "Is Bethany still in Hank's place?"

"Yes!"

"She is heartbroken because she doesn't have any children left. Hank did not leave anyone behind either. However, if she still had someone to rely on in this world, things might be different!"

Kaylene was taken aback, "You mean..."

Harry smiled and said, "You'd better find some time to talk to Bethany later. I'll talk to my brother. It's Hank's death anniversary tomorrow. How could we do nothing?"

"Okay!"

Old Master Granger sat in his study after coming back from the garden. He had been holding the corner of an album in a daze since he returned.
