Chapter 1308 The Emerald Pendant

• As Hazel settled into her chair, her eyes immediately sought out her grandson in the room. “Please, Mrs. Crawford, don't be offended if Jerry comes across as a bit reserved. He's just naturally shy around new people,” she mentioned, hoping to preempt any potential misunderstanding.
• Yulissa's attention was swiftly captured by the sight of Jeremy, her gaze warming noticeably as she took in his delicate, almost illustrative features, reminiscent of a character straight out of a children's storybook.
• The more she watched him, the more her affection seemed to grow. Her lips pressed together in contemplation, a burning desire welling up inside her to express to Hazel her wish to regard Jeremy as a god-grandson.
