Chapter 13 Beatrice shot Gordon a look . That's called Murphy's Law , and you'd better believe it. If you end up single and come crying to me , don't expect any help ! Unless , of course , you beg for it ! " She lifted her chin in mock arrogance , feigning indifference but secretly relishing the thoughts Oh , she couldn't wait for the day this stubbor kid would swallow his pride and come asking for her advice . Just picturing Gordon heartbroken over some girl was enough to make Beatrice giddy with anticipation.X Gordon caught the dreamy look on his mother's face and cut in . " Mom , that sort of thing might happen to other people , but it'll never happen to me . " Honestly , he'd much rather spend his time making money than chasing after girls . At least money could satisfy both his material needs and give him peace of mind . Women ? They'd just spend his money . Why on earth should he work hard just to finance someone he wasn't even related to ? No way Absolutely not Of course , Gordon had no idea that one day in the future , he'd be more than willing to hand over every cent he owned for her sake ! But that's a story for another time . " Don't act all high and mighty " Beatrice huffed , giving Gordon a swift kick . " Don't make me start using fancy phrases to put you in your place ! " Fancy phrases ? Skyler's eyes lit up in curiosity . " Grandma , how do you use fancy phrases to insult someone ? Can you teach me ? " Beatrice pointed at Gordon . Listen up , this is how it's done.T " Okay ! " Skyler nodded eagerly . Beatrice continued , " He panics when comered , jumps around like a headless chicken , never learns from his mistakes , and cooks up trouble wherever he goes ! " !! Skyler burst out laughing , nearly doubling over . Honestly , his grandma was a genius . Probably only Beatrice dared to call Gordon out like that , right to his fabe . And the best part ? Gordon didn't even dare talk back.8 if you'd asked Skyler , he'd never have believed that someday someone else would show up - someone who wouldn't just call Gordon a fool to his face , but would even have Gordon calling them " Dad " willingly " Quit laughing ! " Beatrice barked , smacking Skyler on the head as he snickered . " You think you're not a little fool too ? ' Skyler : " " When the gods go to war , it's always the mortals who get caught in the crossfire . Elsewhere . I Caitlin walked through the hospital corridor , carrying a bag of vitamins , and found Keeley's room . There were four beds in the ward I Even in simple jeans and a white T- shirt , Caitling striking features and effortless beauty drew every eye the moment she stepped inside . The other patients and their families exchanged curious glances , wondering whose relative this could be . Not even Fortune's old colleague , Keeley Prescott , recognized Caitlin without her usual makeup It wasn't until Caitlin reached his bedside and spoke that it clicked . " Keeley , are you feeling any better today ? " Keeley blinked in confusion . Was this girl talking to him ? 2 He racked his brain . He didn't recall any relatives this pretty . Tm Caitlin , Keeley " Cartin ? " He repeated the name , certain he'd heard it before , but when he looked at her face , he couldn't place her at all . Chapter 13 While Keeley was puzzling over it Caitlin filled in the blanks . " Fortune Kensington is my grandfather ." Fortune Kensington ! es went wide with surprise : " Wait , you're Catie ? You're really Catie ? " ? Keeley's eyes " That's me " Catlin smiled and nodded . Keeley looked her over , still in disbelief . Back when he'd seen Caitlin before , she was always caked in makeup and dressed in drab , ill - fitting clothes . She was barely in her teens , but somehow managed to look like a middle - aged housewife - aloof , unapproachable , and with a chip on her shoulder . Honestly , Keeley had never had a good impression of her But the Caitlin standing before him now was different - her style had changed , her face was fresh and open , and even her attitude seemed transformed . The old Caitlin would never have addressed a janitor like him as " KeeleyT
