Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 446

Jarrow City, the Clarke family estate.

The manor was ablaze with lights, filled with the scent of perfume and the sight of glamorous figures.

Today was the welcome party for the Clarke family’s little princess, Gianna Clarke.

Everyone who was anyone in the capital’s elite circles had come, not only to curry favor with Damien but also to catch a glimpse of the legendary “Helix Line consultant” and “Chair of the Ethical Science Alliance”—Grace.

“Oh, my sweet little darling, let Great-Grandma hold you!”

Old Mrs. Clarke, elegant in a deep burgundy silk gown, her wrinkled face glowing with a sudden, radiant smile, carefully took the precious little bundle from Grace’s arms.

“Gianna has been so good today, she hasn’t cried once.” Her grandmother, sitting in a wheelchair but in high spirits, clutched a small, ornate charm—a sachet she had spent three days and nights sewing to hold it.

Grace watched the scene with a faint smile, but her gaze grew distant.

She was reminded of her own childhood.

Her grandmother had told her that on the day of her own three-month milestone gala, Alistair Hart hadn't even graced them with his presence. He was out celebrating the birthday of Sabrina, who was still his “secretary” at the time.

The house had been cold and empty. It was just Lauren Hawke holding her, sitting alone in the cavernous mansion for the entire night.

“What are you thinking about?”

A pair of warm, large hands suddenly wrapped around her waist.

Damien leaned in close, his warm breath tickling the side of her neck.

“I was just thinking,” Grace said, snapping back to the present as she gently stroked the ring on her left ring finger, “Gianna is so lucky.”

“Of course she is.” Damien raised an eyebrow, his tone full of justified pride. “Look who her father is.”

Just then, little Gianna let out a soft whimper in her great-grandmother’s arms, her little mouth turning down as if she were about to cry.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Did she wet her diaper?”
