Read My Past is Just Prologue By Louisa Dillon Chapter 71 – A Second Chance
It was surprising that old Mr. Webster welcomed Janet in.
Looking at how calm Janet was, Nathaniel had mixed feelings.
“Mr. Webster, would you please wait here? Old Mr. Webster’s condition is not so good, and he can’t
afford to be p*ssed off again.”
Albert was sensible. He didn’t want to see any conflict between Nathaniel and old Mr. Webster, so he
emphasized old Mr. Webster’s poor condition, trying to let Nathaniel realize that Nathaniel had done
some wrong.
“Thank you, Albert. I will.”
Lowering his head, Nathaniel became silent.
As soon as Janet stepped into the villa, she saw old Mr. Webster sitting on the huge balcony, the
crystal coffee table in front of him had brewed fragrant tea, and the steam was slowly rising, while he
was looking up at the starry sky.
Perhaps it was out of guilt, Janet felt that old Mr. Webster looked extremely lonely.
“Grandpa, how are you?”
Skillfully taking off the coat placed on the coat rack in the living room, Janet walked to old Mr.
Webster’s side naturally and put
the coat on for him.
“It’s still a little cold at night. Don’t catch a cold.”
“I’m fine. Albert turned on the floor heater for me. It’s warm here.”
Old Mr. Webster reviewed a bright smile when he saw Janet. He waved at Janet and said, “Come here,
Jill. I miss you.”
To be honest, Janet felt nervous when she saw old Mr. Webster again. After all, she and Nathaniel had
divorced.
She didn’t speak and sat opposite old Mr. Webster.
Old Mr. Webster looked at Janet and then frowned, saying worriedly, “You have lost a lot of weight.
Have you had meals regularly recently? Not used to eating outside?”
Old Mr. Webster was sophisticated.
He didn’t ask Janet if she couldn’t fit in the life after she left the Webster family. Instead, he cared about
Janet’s health. In fact, he was indicating that the reason why Janet lost weight was that she left here.
“Sorry, I made you worried, grandpa.”
Janet lowered her head, holding the hot tea that old Mr. Webster handed her.
One could only taste this kind of tea in the Webster family.
“Well, all parents care about their kids. Nathaniel grew up under my protection. It was impossible for
you to hide the divorce news from me. I knew about it through the news earlier, but unfortunately, I
haven’t had a chance to contact you.”
Seeing how calm Janet looked, old Mr. Webster was not sure what Janet was thinking, so he cut to the
point and brought up the divorce between Nathaniel and Janet.
“Thank you for caring about us, grandpa. I know what you mean, but Nathaniel and I have no future.”
Janet turned her head slightly and saw the wonderful flowers blooming in the courtyard under the
moonlight. Somehow, she felt the impulse to cry.
“Why is there no future?”
Seeing Janet’s change, old Mr. Webster swung his cane anxiously. “I asked that brat why he divorced
you, but he didn’t say
anything as if he was dumb. I wanted to see you today to get an answer. Tell me, why you divorced?”
Old Mr. Webster was anxious, and his voice suddenly became so loud that he choked. For a while, he
coughed several times.
Janet hurried forward to pat him on the back. Old Mr. Webster’s face turned red from coughing, and
Janet looked around, trying to find someone to help.
“Grandpa, are you okay? I’m going to find Albert.”
Janet hurriedly to leave but was grabbed by the wrist by old Mr. Webster.
“I’m fine.” Old Mr. Webster took a deep breath, and he looked better. “Jill, I know you love Nathaniel. I
just don’t understand. Why did you two end up like this?”
Sure, even an outsider, old Mr. Webster, could feel Janet’s feelings for Nathaniel. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
But after so many years, Nathaniel never believed in her.
Janet’s hand slowly slid down, and there was a stream of light in her eyes. “Grandpa, we just don’t
have feelings for each other, and that’s it.”
After a pause, she seemed to feel relieved and looked at old Mr. Webster with a smile. “Grandpa,
please let us solve our problems, okay?”
Although Janet said so, old Mr. Webster was unwilling to give up.
“I am worried about you. You’re too young and too emotional. Why don’t you have a sincere
conversation to see if you can solve all the problems?”
Janet didn’t respond.
Albert, who had been paying attention to old Mr. Webster, went to call Nathaniel immediately when he
saw that old Mr. Webster was choking, so Nathaniel happened to come in through the main entrance
just after old Mr. Webster finished
speaking.
“Grandpa.”
Seeing that old Mr. Webster was fine, Nathaniel felt relieved.
Then he turned to look at Janet, but Janet didn’t seem to care about his arrival.
