She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 603: You Can Go Home and Eat Now

The act of giving and receiving has always been a two-way street.

Without giving, how can one expect to receive?

In this moment, even the arrogant Leandro had to admit his mistakes, if he wanted to salvage his relationship with his grandson.

Mason was left speechless by Cheyenne's words. How could he have known what kind of life Eddie had lived before?

"I'm sorry, Eddie, I had no idea what you and your family went through. If I had known..."

Their lives wouldn't have been so difficult!

Tears welled up in the old man's eyes, a hint of vulnerability shining through his cloudy gaze. His pleading look made Eddie feel uneasy.

Eddie raised his hand and lightly supported him with a flat tone, "You don't need to apologize. It was our own choice."

Whether it was his father's decision to leave home back then, or his own choice not to seek help from Leandro, it all stemmed from the pride ingrained in the Zamora family.

In fact, on the seventh day after Willie's death, Eddie lied to Kate, saying that his school had arranged a summer camp and he would be away for a week.

He secretly carried his father's urn and took a more than thirty-hour train ride, rushing from Akloit to Onistead.

After several inquiries, he finally met Leandro, his grandfather.

Standing outside the door, Eddie saw his grandfather affectionately holding hands with another young boy.

The boy was about the same age as Eddie, dressed in branded clothing, with fair and delicate features, while Eddie's clothes were wrinkled from the long train journey, and his greasy face made him look like a country bumpkin.

He overheard Leandro saying to the boy with a sense of emotion, "My disobedient son probably won't return anymore. This grand Moon Hall can't be left without an heir in the future."

"Starting from today, I'll take you as my disciple. Although you will be my student in name, I truly treat you as my grandson, as the one to carry on the legacy."

"Mason, you can call me grandfather from now on."

"Grandfather."

In that moment, when Eddie heard this conversation from outside the door, he let out a bitter laugh.

He had traveled so far, hoping to bring his father back to his hometown, only to find out that their only family no longer needed them.

If that was the case, he had no reason to enter the door.

Holding his father's urn tightly, Eddie shed a tear of resolve. He paused for a moment, then silently turned around and left.

It was as if he had never been to Onistead at all.

Yet it was this journey that solidified Eddie's determination to study medicine.

He would inherit his father's legacy, and he would achieve great success to make Leandro regret his actions.

And now, he had accomplished his goal.

Leandro admitted his past mistakes in front of him and finally shed tears of regret. However, Eddie didn't feel joy after "getting revenge."

In that moment when Leandro heard about his son's passing, the shock and pain in his eyes were genuine. With red eyes and white hair, he lowered his head in front of Eddie. Eddie clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands protruding. A rare sense of confusion appeared on his handsome face.

He didn't know if he should forgive Leandro.

Cheyenne seemed to sense his inner struggle. Just as Eddie was unsure of how to make a decision, Cheyenne suddenly cleared her throat, reminding Mr. President. "Sir, shouldn't you announce who the remaining three people are? It's almost time for lunch, and I don't have time to waste here."

After speaking, she glanced at Leandro, furrowing her eyebrows slightly As for the private matters of your Zamora family, please resolve them privately and don't waste everyone's time."

When she looked at him, there was a hint of unfamiliarity in her eyes. It had been months since they last saw each other, so she probably forgot about him.

Kyson quickly stood up from his

seat in agreement with Cheyenne's words. Urging the President, he said, "Yes, everyone is still waiting for the results, Leandro, let's discuss your matter with Eddie later, don't delay Almond Hall's chances of winning the trophy!"

The President smirked, picking up the other three sheets from the desk. He smiled lightly and said, "Alright, now I will announce the second person to pass, Mason!" Beside him, Mason stood up nervously, sweating profusely.

Actually, Mason didn't care about winning or losing. While others might get angry when they lose, he would happily go home and have dinner. Winning didn't make him proud either.

For example, when he won against

Leah, who

had been provocatively claiming she would defeat him and

take the championship this year, he didn't feel the need to be cautious of

her. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Instead, Mason comforted her, saying it was okay to lose and encouraged her to do her best, selflessly sharing the essence of the knowledge he had gained with her.

However, today, due to Eddie's appearance, he unexpectedly felt an unprecedented sense of nervousness in his heart.

His heart raced, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead involuntarily.

Regardless of whether it was for his grandfather or for Moon Hall, it seemed like he should give it his all and strive for victory!

And getting into the top four was a prerequisite.

Fortunately, he made it.

Meanwhile, Leah and the others ridiculed Cheyenne, "Weren't you just busy going home to eat? Cheyenne, you don't need to stand here anymore. You can go back and eat now." Cheyenne crossed her arms with a popsicle stick in her mouth, lazily casting a glance at Leah.

A confident smile appeared on her stunning face. "No rush. Your grandpa said that if I win the championship, he will treat me to extravagant meals for this month."

"You!" Leah hadn't even had a chance to get angry when Kyson clapped his hands and laughed, looking doting as he exclaimed, "Girl, can't you have some ambition?"

At a time like this, she was still only thinking about eating a big meal.

"Don't worry. I keep my word. If you starve and get skinny, I'm afraid that Layne will come after me when he returns."

So, did Kyson actually promise to provide Cheyenne with meals for this month?

This didn't seem like something he would do, did it?
