Chapter: 1471

At the dinner table, the Fraziers were quite curious about the mother -daughter duo, bombarding them with questions. They conversed over the meal, creating a congenial atmosphere.

Florence asked casually, “Bernice, where's your husband? Did you two get a divorce?"

The room lapsed into an uncomfortable silence for a few moments.

Unaware, Bernice responded cheerfully, “He's busy with his business back home. He'll join us here soon.”

"Oh, I assumed you had abandoned the family to elope with him and that he divorced you. I guess I was overthinking," Florence said nonchalantly before swiftly shifting the conversation to reminisce about old times.

Norah and Huntley caught the subtle malice in her words, their expressions growing grim.

After the meal, they moved to the living room to continue their discussions.

The villa was expansive. Norah noted that the property included more than one villa and that the surrounding land and buildings also belonged to the Fraziers.

Despite the suppression from other influential families, the Fraziers' wealth remained substantial.

Caylee stayed close to Bernice, looking at her tenderly. Having raised Bernice like her own daughter in the absence of her parents, Caylee was deeply devoted to the Frazier family.

When the moment felt right, Caylee said, “It's getting late. I should take Bernice to see her father."

The younger family members went quiet, feeling somewhat intimidated by the mention of their stern and imposing grandfather, yet they also empathized with him due to his poor health condition.

Huntley paused, then said, "Yes, we should visit Dad. Bernice, he's really missed you over the years."

Bernice tensed up, her hands shaking slightly with nervousness.

Keenan Frazier had always been strict with his grandchildren, but Bernice remembered him as a loving father who indulged her whims, even sacrificing his own rest for her needs...

Memories stirred within her. Bernice felt fearful of facing her father's potential disappointment and stern words, yet she knew she had to face the consequences of her actions.

"Alright." Bernice inhaled deeply to calm her nerves. She then asked, “Norah, would you Like to come with me to see your grandfather?"

Huntley quickly said, “Hold on. You should speak to dad first, then Norah can join you."

Bernice cast a concerned glance at Norah. Was it really alright to leave her daughter here by herself?

Norah smiled, encouraging her mother to proceed with her uncle.

Meeting her grandfather could wait; after all, he wasn't going anywhere since he had been bedridden.

ALL eyes in the living room were trained on Norah. Florence lingered for a moment longer before she too departed.

Braden found a topic to start a conversation, saying, “So, Norah, what do you do for work?"

"I'm a doctor, but I also pursue other interests. Right now, I'm not working," Norah replied.
