Goodbye, Mr. Regret novel Chapter 550

Timothy started forward, ready to greet them.

But Mrs. Zimmerman had already walked up to Henry. “You said your mother is the housekeeper?”

“And who are you?” Henry asked, having never met Mrs. Zimmerman before.

She’d spent most of the past years living abroad, only returning occasionally—and never with a chance to meet Timothy’s son.

Jessica quickly stood and slipped her arm through Mrs. Zimmerman’s. “Mom, why are you up so early? You should have rested longer.”

“I was worried about your grandfather and Daisy,” Mrs. Zimmerman replied. “I just checked on your grandfather. He’s lucid, can move his arms and legs—just a bit weak, but he should be fine.”

Henry remembered when Sallie had taken him to the Zimmermans’ estate; that’s when he’d learned his mother was actually part of this family.

So, the elegant woman in front of him must be Mr. Zimmerman’s mother—his grandmother.

He looked up shyly. “Grandma.”

The word made Mrs. Zimmerman’s heart tremble for a split second; blood ties couldn’t be ignored. But then she remembered this boy had called his own mother the housekeeper. That anger flared up again.

“A child who doesn’t respect his own mother has no right to call me Grandma. I don’t consider someone so lacking in manners my grandson.”

The Zimmermans would never tolerate something like this.

Henry’s eyes filled with hurt. He’d already apologized to his mother, but she hadn’t forgiven him. Now, he’d tried to reach out to his grandmother and was scolded again.

Timothy crossed the room, and Henry immediately ran to him, wrapping his arms around his father’s leg.

Seeing Timothy only made Mrs. Zimmerman’s irritation worse.

Still, she held it in and spoke coldly, “Take your son and leave. Don’t disrupt us any further.”

“Mom, I’m sorry,” Timothy said quietly. “If a child acts out, the father is to blame. If you’re angry, take it out on me. I’ll accept whatever you have to say.”
