She said it casually, but my chest tightened slightly.
Grandma had always hoped Alexander and I would have a child.
And selfishly…
I also hoped she could stay by my side long enough to see the baby born safely.
"Who said you won't?"
We all turned toward the door at the sound of Alexander's voice.
He walked in wearing gray suit pants and a black shirt.
Jim followed behind him carrying several bags in his hands.
"I'm sure you'll live long enough to meet the baby, Nana," he said as he entered the room.
Grandma immediately looked relieved seeing him.
"It's good you're here," she said seriously. "For a moment, I thought you'd gone back to the company and left Alicia here alone with only Maria."
Jim set the bags down calmly.
And turned to leave.
"I only went home to freshen up and change clothes."Alexander explained,
Then he turned toward me before taking out a food container carefully from one of the bags brought in by Jim.
