Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 384

As Linda walked in with a thermos, her eyes landed on the small charm Watson was holding, and she stopped in her tracks. She knew that charm well. It was something you'd only get after a long, devoted journey to the church. Years back, when Allison's mom, Savannah, was really sick, Javier had made that same journey to get one for her. Sadly, it hadn't been enough to save her life, and thinking about it now made Linda's heart ache a bit.

"Watson," Linda said softly, a bit surprised, "Did you get this charm yourself?" She gazed at the charm, her eyes distant, as if she were staring right through it into the past.

Watson, still deeply focused on Allison, just nodded.

Linda was momentarily taken aback. Once she gathered her thoughts, she looked at Watson with a new understanding. She knew him from the few times he'd visited the Owens family with Julia and had always suspected there was something special in the way he looked at Allison. But since Allison insisted they were just friends, Linda hadn't dug any deeper. Now, seeing this charm, everything clicked into place. Watson's feelings for her daughter Allie were way beyond just friendship. He was truly in love with her.

Allison didn't turn it down. She accepted the charm, carefully avoiding Watson's eyes, and murmured a soft "thank you."
