Too Late To Love Me I Already Left With His Twins (Lydia and Dave) novel Chapter 214

Grandmother

Then her expression softened slightly.

So,” she said calmly, “I assume you have questions.’

“Several.”

“Good.”

She folded her hands neatly over her walking stick before looking ahead quietly.

“Then let’s begin with the truth.”

And somehow

the way she said that immediately reminded me of my grandmother.

The same calm authority.

The same terrifying emotional intelligence.

Madam Eloise glanced toward me carefully.

“Your grandmother loved Lydia long before you ever noticed her.”

That caught my attention immediately.

“What?”

“She saw her potential almost instantly.”

Madam Eloise smiled faintly at the memory.

“Lydia was still a student the first time your grandmother met her. No status. No power. No influence. Nothing except intelligence, resilience and frightening determination.’

I stayed quiet.

“She told me once,” Madam Eloise continued softly, “That girl will either become extraordinary or destroy anybody foolish enough to underestimate her.””

I laughed quietly despite myself.

That sounded painfully accurate.

“She believed you needed someone like Lydia,” Madam Eloise continued. “Because frankly speaking, you were an arrogant little menace.”

I looked toward her dryly.

“That’s harsh.”

“Was it inaccurate?”

“…No.”

“Exactly.”

She smiled slightly.

“Your grandmother knew you needed someone emotionally grounded. Someone capable of surviving you.

That sentence landed harder than I expected.

Madam Eloise sighed softly afterward.

“She truly hoped the marriage would work.”
