Chapter 1311:
However, her memory occasionally failed her, and worry still lingered in her heart.
âDonât worry, Grandma. Everything is fine.â Kellanâs lips curled into a subtle smile. âAnd we have a surprise.â
He took Allisonâs hand and lifted it slightly, letting the diamond ring catch the light.
âFrom now on, Allison and I will truly be family.â
Kinsleeâs eyes lit up with joy. She then looked at Allison and asked,
âKellan proposed?â
Allison nodded.
âYes, weâre planning to have the wedding this month.â
âGood!â Kinslee beamed. âI always said you two were a perfect match.â
But then, as if remembering something, she became hesitant, and her expression clouded with concern.
âIâm just worried⦠your father might not approve.â
âIt doesnât matter if he doesnât.â Kellan hesitated for a moment before continuing. âHe was taken away by the police not long ago.â
After much deliberation, he decided Kinslee had the right to know the truth.
He didnât elaborate, but she saw the depth in his gazeâthe quiet confirmation that this had been a long time coming.
She sighed, shaking her head.
âI always knew this day would come. I just didnât expect it so soon. This is the price he has to pay for his actions.â
There was no grief in her voice, only acceptance.

She had long been disappointed with her son and had shed all her tears years ago.
Now, all she wanted was for Kellan and Allison to be happy.
âI will absolutely attend your wedding this month,â she declared with conviction. âAnd I will prepare a generous gift for you both.â
She placed their hands together, her touch filled with warmth.
âI want to witness your happiness with my own eyes.â
Allison and Kellan exchanged a smile, understanding passing between them.
âOf course.â
At that moment, Allisonâs phone buzzed repeatedly in her pocket. She glanced down, seeing a string of unfamiliar numbers flashing on the screen.
Other than Colton, she couldnât think of anyone else who would be this persistent.
Kellanâs brows furrowed slightly.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âItâs probably Colton trying to reach me after the Stevens Group went bankrupt,â Allison said matter-of-factly.
There was nothing to hide.
She added, âI canât do anything about the bankruptcy, but his grandfather Keanu once helped me. So, Iâve already arranged for a specialized organization to look after him.â
Kellanâs lips curved slightly.
âI understand.â
There was a time he had resented Colton, even envied him. But now, none of that mattered.
Because Allison stood before him, smiling as brightly as ever.
And as he thought about the wedding just weeks away, only one thought consumed him â he could finally become her husband.
