She had never cared about the engagement.
And it seemed he hadn’t been too keen on it either.
So, she let her grandfather call it off.
Later, when people compared her to the adopted daughter of the Cromwell family, he had only said one thing:
“The Jenkins family values blood ties. The one engaged to me was Miss.Cromwell—not that I didn’t want her, but rather, she didn’t want me. Cough, cough. You all should find something less ridiculous to talk about.”
By then, his coughing had worsened.
Yet, in a world where everyone resented her, he had still spoken up for her.
But that was all in the past. By then, her grandfather had passed away.
Her life had become chaotic.
She had wanted to see him, to ask how he was doing.
Who would’ve thought he’d end up in a car accident?
A man like hi
