Our Billion-Worth Twins

Chapter 264

'That face looked so much like her,' thought the old lady wistfully.' No, it's just her face. It's her smile and her demeanor.

'Even the faint dimples on her cheeks are identical to hers.'

The old lady stared at Catelyn in disbelief. "What do you recommend?"

"What about this one?" Catelyn pointed her slender finger from outside of the glass window at a ring that she adored. "I've had my mind on this pink diamond for a while now, and it's fitting for a lady in her twenties. Its design is refined and luxurious, so it should be able to match your title."

The staff noticed that the old lady seemed pleased and immediately took the ring out.

"Ma'am, please have a look."

The old lady picked up the pink diamond and thought that the size was just right; it would make a surely well-thought-out gift.

She continued staring at Catelyn, her eyes filled with a myriad of emotions. "Miss, do you mind putting this on for me?"

"Of course not." Catelyn thought nothing of this, assuming it was because she was about the same age as the person she wanted to give this ring to.

She thus stretched out her hand as the old lady held her finger and put the ring on her. The pink diamond dazzled brightly under the light.

The old lady had her eyes glued onto Catelyn as if she was looking into her soul. Somehow, her cold, stern face slowly softened into a kind and loving expression instead.

She turned around and told the staff that she wanted the ring, to which the staff carefully took the ring off and packed it nicely for her.

At that moment, Catelyn's phone rang.

She saw that it was a call from Cedrick and bade the old lady goodbye before leaving the store.

The old lady had thought of asking Catelyn's name after she exited the shop, but when she went outside to chase after her, Catelyn was nowhere to be seen. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Regret haunted the old lady.

She did not expect that after so many years, she would see a person that looked so much like that person.

"Grandma, what are you doing here?" Edwin had just left the office and came over to pick up a necklace he had reserved earlier.

He went over to help Granny Atherton as he looked at his surroundings. "Where's Kelly? Why isn't she with you?"

Granny Atherton was getting old and would usually have a companion with her wherever she went.

Granny Atherton gave up trying to look for Catelyn and said, "I told her I'd like to be alone for a while."

"That's not a good idea! You shouldn't do it again," said Edwin sternly.

"Edwin, I..." Granny Atherton pointed in the direction where Catelyn went and said, "A young woman was with me. She looked so much like your aunt when she was young."

Edwin looked in the direction where his grandmother had pointed.

The place was filled with people, and the girl that supposedly looked like his aunt was nowhere to be found.

Edwin thought it was just his grandmother missing his aunt again.

20 years ago, Granny Atherton had a terrible argument with his aunt because of a man, and she even kicked her out of the family because of that. No one could have foretold that it would be the last time the pair would ever see each other again.

Ever since then, Granny Atherton would call other young girls that looked like his aunt her name.

Even though he was only about five to six years old when his aunt left, he vividly remembered the way she smiled. She was probably the gentlest woman he had ever met.

The reason Lola was well-loved by Granny Atherton was that she shared a few similarities with her daughter when she smiled.

It was just a slight resemblance, though. Catelyn resembled Granny Atherton's daughter even more when she smiled.

Of course, Catelyn came from the Clark family and had no relations with Edwin's aunt at all.

"Grandma, it's getting chilly here. Let's head back."

Cedrick was not pleased when he heard about the accusation they made about Catelyn from Edwin.

She was his woman, yet never once had she told him about these things. It was as if she was still trying to leave him out of her world, even though they had been physically intimate with each other.

Cedrick stopped his car outside of the mall where he was told to meet Catelyn and waited patiently for her.
