"I appreciate your visit, my dear. I was getting quite bored," Grandpa Cian said, his voice hushed, a glimmer of amusement in his eyes that brought a smile to Verena's lips.
"I was feeling restless too, Grandpa. I can't wait for all of this to be over," Verena confessed, looking at her foot, her eyes reflecting her longing for normalcy.
Verena was eager to start her modelling career, especially since their shoot had been postponed. Aurora, caught up in her collaboration with Lyon, hadn't been able to meet Verena as planned.
Verena couldn't help but wonder how Ariana would react when she learned that Verena had achieved this milestone before her.
"Does it hurt?" Grandpa asked, genuine concern etched on his face as he sipped his tea.
Verena shook her head slightly. "Not much."
"Louis should take better care of you," Grandpa remarked, his tone heavy with worry. Verena met his gaze, her eyes earnest.
