Chapter 588 Another Warning

• Old Mrs. Grant saw Josiah and his sister finally quiet down after her scolding. She sighed and added, “You’re blood. Why start clawing at each other the second you meet? Why act like you can’t wait to crush each other? Watching you like this—what do you think it does to me as your mother? I’m old. However many days I’ve got left, I just want to see you living in peace. The road ahead is long; you’ll need each other to keep going and bring honor to our Grant family. That’s what your father wanted too. Enough. I’ll stop. But you, Third and Fourth—don’t think being unmarried means you’re still kids who can say and do whatever you want without caring about family feelings. You’re past thirty. Act like it.”
• Hearing that, Katherine Cornell felt a warm ease settle in her chest. She looked at Old Mrs. Grant with newfound respect. The old lady was sharp.
• Back then, her parents hadn’t made it. No way one woman could turn the tide against both the Grant and Scott-Tutton families. That’s why her parents never ended up together, and why she and Josiah were split apart—pure tragedy.
