Chapter 48: Finally Leaving
Warren came to H-town this time, and Old Mr. Grant get along quite well, how will for no reason to Charlotte black face.
Unless the person they are talking about is themselves.
Lindsey frowned slightly, slowly got out of the car and went over to say hello.
Warren looked her up and down, the rest of his eyes swept over Charlotte’s face and said with concern, “I heard you’ve had a dangerous few days?”
“Fine, just a few punks, just as practice.” Lindsey’s heart was warm, no wonder he was black-faced just now, it was because of this.
She looked up and smiled happily: “I called my sister-in-law on the way here, she told me to tell you to take care of your health.”
Warren smiled back, nodded sideways at Bruce who followed him, and together they entered the living room.
Old Mr. Grant was still in the study dealing with business, so everyone had to sit and wait.
After a few moments of small talk, Warren looked steadily at Bruce and suddenly asked, “We have the tickets for the early morning flight tonight, are you okay with that?”
“No problem, everything is under Warren’s arrangement.” Bruce felt a pressure for no reason, the hand on the knee unconsciously clenched.
Warren nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with his answer.
Charlotte could see that Lindsey’s brother didn’t seem to think much of his own brother. I want to help, but I am afraid that the more I help, the more I help. Lifting her cup of tea, she elegantly took a small sip, the remaining light quietly watching Lindsey’s reaction.
After watching for a while, she declined to withdraw her gaze, her heart secretly laughing.
Sometimes being too naive was a bad thing, and a big bad thing. But today’s scene makes her think that a little naivety is actually not bad. Just like Lindsey at the moment, Warren’s gaze was sharp, but she didn’t feel a thing.
“After dinner, you rest first, I will notify in advance when it is almost time.” Warren tone lightly added still, also picked up a cup of tea, sip carefully.
He has been in the military for many years, the fury in his body is already heavy, and now he is looking at Bruce with a critical gaze, I did not expect him to not be intimidated, in the end is after the luxury family.
“Warren, will going back at dawn disturb sister-in-law?” Lindsey muttered in a small voice, “She’s been having a lot of pregnancy vomiting lately.”
Warren glanced at her, his voice clear: “I’ll go home first when we get to L city at night, you guys stay at the hotel near Jade Garden, I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up in the morning.”
The girl is outgoing, this is really true.
On the surface, Lindsey continues to keep Bruce at a proper distance, but in reality, she is unknowingly thinking of him in every way.
I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
While we were talking, Old Mr. Grant came down from upstairs and invited everyone to move to the dining room with a warm smile.
During the meal, Charlotte’s parents arrived. This time, their attitude was much different than the previous two times, which made Lindsey feel very frightened.
The Grant family’s rule is to keep their mouths shut during meals, and since Old Mr. Grant doesn’t say anything, the younger ones naturally follow suit.
Lindsey grew up living with her grandfather and was accustomed to talking about her daily anecdotes over dinner, which made for a happy atmosphere.
I don’t know if Bruce will be able to adapt to Cloud Mountain, it’s really a worrying problem …
The Corfield family is also having dinner at the Tian Xiang Yuan, which is more than ten kilometers away from Nine Lakes Mountain.
Phoebe is absent-mindedly picking at the white rice in her bowl, her eyes unfocused, and she’s walking away.
The people sent to keep an eye on the Gu residence reported that Bruce suddenly became seriously ill, but instead of sending him to the hospital, The Grant family received the residence of Old Mr. Grant at Nine Lakes Mountain. Is it a blindfold, or is he really dying …
carefully comb through the intelligence of the past few days, Bruce’s body has been normal, there must be something wrong here!
“Pop!” Wilbert shouted twice, but did not see his daughter agree, so angry that he directly threw chopsticks: “I asked you, what are you thinking!”
Phoebe pulled back her thoughts, and saw her mother constantly giving her a wink, so she sat up straight: “Dad, what did you just say.”
“I said, don’t get involved in The Grant family’s business!” Wilbert glared at her with hatred: “It’s not your business to get involved.”
“I didn’t get involved. I stayed home for two days, so I didn’t get involved.” Phoebe smiled shamelessly: “Who snitched on you again?”
“The city bureau has come to my door, who else snitched on me!” Wilbert blew his beard and glared, and left on the spot.
His daughter is the treasure he holds in his heart, from childhood a serious word can not say, even if she stabbed the sky, he will not really get angry.
But this time, the future pattern of The Grant family is at stake, and his daughter is determined to help Burton, he can’t stop her, he can’t persuade her, and two sentences is the limit.
In the restaurant, Phoebe wryly spat her tongue at her mother and ran out like the wind with her chopsticks in place.
Mo Haning looked at the empty restaurant, sighed quietly, the extremely well maintained face, vaguely appear a trace of sadness.
The Corfield family’s status is getting worse every day, and she doesn’t know her daughter’s intentions for being tied to Burton.
But she cares more about her daughter’s future.
Throughout the ages, how many people have fallen in love with this. They always think that if they support each other, they will be able to go all the way to the end, but they don’t know that as long as the man stands at the peak of power, most of the wives will not escape the fate of being abandoned.
With a long sigh again, she put down her dishes and got up to slowly pace upstairs.
The second floor, there is light coming through the doorway of the study, she thought twice, raised her hand and knocked to enter.
Sitting in the chair across from the desk as usual, she looked up at Wilbert with a stony expression, “Phoebe, it’s really not nice of her to do that.”
“I know, but as you can see, she’s not obeying discipline at all right now.” Wilbert wrinkled his brow and turned his head to look out the window.
Mo Haning wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth, but he swallowed them back silently.
It’s a blessing or a curse is the daughter’s own choice, what they can do is to stand firmly behind her.
Whether it’s picking up the mess or bearing the wrath of The Grant family, Phoebe is always their daughter …
As the early morning hours approached, the neon of B City dimmed.
A silver Boeing airliner, slowly gliding across the runway, climbed in the night and took off, rushing into the endless darkness.
Lindsey glanced at Bruce beside her in an excited mood, her watery eyes glowing brightly, casually pulling out a magazine and flipping it open.
“You hate B City?” Bruce side-eyed, vaguely saw his reflection in her eyes, the corners of his lips involuntarily raised: “Or do you hate me as a person.”
“Uh …” Lindsey flinched and ghostly moved closer to him and asked with a smirk, “Do you want to hear the truth or not?”
The smile on Bruce’s face deepened, his long, narrow starry eyes tinged with restrained tenderness, slightly turning his head sideways, his thin lips pressed against her ear, gently spitting out a sentence: “Nothing.”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Lindsey’s heart beat like a drum, narrowing her eyes to glare at him for a second, indignantly sitting straight back.
The atmosphere is frozen for a second, the man’s low and pleasant laughter whirled over, white as porcelain cheeks, a faint layer of scarlet floated in a flash.
