Chapter 3562


    Pedro wasmitted to protecting Kathryn for life, whether or not he was in love with her.


    rissa waved her hand, signaling Pedro to leave. As he stood up, pushed the chair back, and walked away, she watched him go. He had a strong, upright posture. From behind, he looked quite masculine.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Pedro wasn''t bad-looking either, and in many ways, he was a good match for Kathryn.


    After he left, rissa''s gaze fell on a photo frame on the corner of her desk. It was a family photo taken after Kathryn came back into her life. In the picture, Kathryn stood beside her but didn''t touch her. At that time, they were still strangers to each other, distant and unfamiliar.


    But Shiloh, on the other hand, was clinging to her, holding one of her arms as if she wanted to assert her ce beside rissa.


    rissa picked up the photo frame and stared at it for a long time. She gently touched the image of Kathryn in the photo, murmuring, "Kathryn, you will find more happiness than your mother."


    Then she touched Shiloh''s image. She still had feelings for Shiloh, but......


    When did things change between her and Shiloh? When did they be strangers?


    rissa sighed and quietly whispered, "In my next life, if I am a mother again, I hope you''ll be born as my daughter, and we can be a true mother and daughter."


    The office door opened.


    Mr. Dunn entered, carrying a bag with dinner for rissa.


    "Madam, please have something to eat," Mr. Dunn said kindly. He unpacked the bag, taking out disposable containers and arranging them on the desk.


    rissa watched him set up the meal for a moment before getting up to wash her hands. She didn''t feel like eating alone, so she asked Mr. Dunn to join her.


    He didn''t refuse.


    "Is Audreying?" rissa asked suddenly.


    Mr. Dunn replied, "I haven''t heard anything about hering. Maybe with the New Year approaching, she has no ns."


    rissa said, “She''lle. Keep an eye on her and Fernando (Mr. Jimenez). She''ll probablye with him."


    After not seeing Fernando for decades, rissa never expected that he would still be alive. She was surprised to think of seeing him again after all these years.


    "Fernando is over 90 now. Even if he''s in good health, traveling isn''t easy for him. Wiltspoon is far from Jensburg. The flight takes over two hours, so it''s hard to say if he''ll make the trip."


    Mr. Jimenez''s real name was


    Fernando Jimenez. The younger generation didn''t know his full name. Even Silver Fox, Ezequiel, always called him "Big Brother." So, the younger generation either called him "Old Grandpa" or "Grandpa Jimenez" after Audrey.


    "You don''t understand him. If he''s still alive and has reconnected with Audrey, even if he''s near death, he''ll find a way to return to Jensburg and die in front of my eldest sister''s grave. He''s been loyal to my eldest sister his whole life; she''s the only one he ever loved."


    rissa felt a pang of sadness as she said this.


    Fernando was the only man she had ever loved, and the only man she couldn''t have. He had been so kind to her before...


    rissa once thought that Fernando


    had feelings for her. Butter, she realized he was only kind because she was her elder sister''s little sister, the one her sister had raised. He had watched her grow up. In his eyes, she was just a child, nothing more.
