Leaving You Bereft (Willow and Julian) novel Chapter 83

Hearing those words, Dominic understood that Willow had made up her mind. She was determined to leave.

But he couldn’t help but ask, “What about Julian? You don’t want him either?”

Willow lowered her gaze and replied, “It depends on him. Whenever he’s willing to let go, we’ll get divorced.”

She made it clear, and Dominic was disheartened.

But he didn’t blame her. Right from the start, she was flawless. It was Julian who had wronged her!

Dominic pulled himself together and forced a smile. “Why don’t you take another look? There are other men in the Ziegler family. Maybe you’ll find someone you like.”

Willow let out a helpless laugh. “Grandpa!”

Dominic sighed sadly. “I can’t bear to let you go.”

Willow didn’t want to leave as well.

She had come from a lonely background, raised and nurtured by only her grandmother.

During her time in the Ziegler family, Dominic was one of the few sources of warmth in her life.

There was no way she could ever repay his kindness.

Willow stood up and poured him some tea.

The first cup was to thank him for his four years of guidance.

The second cup was for his patience and understanding.

The third cup was to honor their bond. She might not have been his granddaughter, but he had treated her better than one.

She shook her hand firmly and said, “Grandpa, I wish you health, happiness, and peace for many years to come.”

Dominic couldn’t hold back anymore.

For an elderly man who had weathered countless storms, he was moved to tears. He waved his hand and said hoarsely, “That’s enough.”

Dominic finished the tea and reached into his pocket. He took out an envelope and handed it to Willow.

“No one else is getting this.”

Only Willow, the granddaughter–in–law he had truly approved of.

Willow clutched the envelope tightly, tears in her eyes. “Thank you, Grandpa.”

She didn’t linger for long, slowly leaving the study.

At the door, she unexpectedly ran into Dexter.

Dexter had heard the news, his expression complex. When he saw Willow, he couldn’t help but sneer, “You and Julian are quite the couple.

“Julian’s wife is truly unique. She’s gracious, generous, and composed. None of my children and grandchildren can compare.”

Dexter huffed, “Grandpa, you’re more generous than her, giving away your shares.”

Dominic let out a cold chuckle. “She didn’t want them.”
