Chapter 275 : The Third Aunt Comes to the Door
Clyde didn’t notice the look in her eyes and couldn’t help the pleasant smile that surfaced on his face when he heard her praise his idea. “Her methods are amazing, just like magic.”
Aurora had absolutely no interest in hearing him compliment Lindsey and deliberately handed over the tablet for ordering, signaling him to order.
Selena saw this action of hers and pursed her lips and spoke in a small voice to remind. “Aurora, are you trying to get some ideas again, don’t forget that your family Old Mr. Grant is still in the hospital.”
“You think too much.” Aurora flatly denied what she had in mind. “Who would dare to mess with her now, I would hate her even more, but I wouldn’t bet my grandfather’s life on it.”
Selena couldn’t hear how much she really meant what she said, and considering that it was The Palvin family’s business after all, she didn’t bother to care.
Not far away, Lindsey’s appetite was still good, she ate and drank enough to take a nap, so she casually asked Karen, “You’re not really interested in Randy, are you?”
“Of course it’s true, but I also know that I’m not realistic.” Karen put down her chopsticks with a disappointed look. “With my kind of origin, I know it won’t work if I think about it.”
“Hard to say.” Lindsey was noncommittal; birth does solve a lot of problems, but it’s nothing when it comes to relationships.
As we were talking, another acquaintance appeared in the direction of the exit.
The moment Lindsey saw Randy, she inexplicably laughed out loud and gestured for Karen to look back. “There’s your man-god.”
“Who …” Karen asked, instinctively turning back.
At this time Randy also happened to look over, the two of them met for a moment, tacitly moved away.
Karen’s head was buried low, she drew a tissue to wipe her mouth and greeted Lindsey to leave.
“No rush, I suddenly don’t want to take a nap at noon.” Lindsey deliberately teased her. “Do you want us to sit over there too, we can share a table.”
Karen shook her head vigorously and dragged her downstairs.
Randy took in the interaction between the two, his eyes calm as if he hadn’t seen anything, and walked over to Aurora’s table, reached out and pulled out a chair and sat down.
“Cousin …” Selena greeted and said softly in a voice that only two people could hear, “Old Mr. Grant asked me to rush you to get married.”
Randy raised a sword brow and looked at her with a torchy gaze. “When was it.”
“Just last night, he spoke to me alone after dinner.” Selena noticed Aurora looking at herself and hurriedly sat back and laughed dryly, “Aurora, introduce this senior brother of yours to my cousin.”
Aurora’s eyes lingered on Randy for a moment and smiled, “Sure. Randy, this is my senior brother from college, Clyde.”
Randy stretched out his hand, shook Clyde vaguely, and suddenly got up. “You guys sit down first, I’ll go downstairs.”
After speaking, not waiting for their reaction, Randy already turned around and rushed into the stairwell.
At the parking space downstairs, Lindsey was just about to get into the car when she saw Randy running downstairs and instinctively stopped in her tracks.
Randy ran to Lindsey in one breath, his eyes fell on Karen, and asked softly, “Are you okay?”
Karen’s face turned red instantly, and she froze there for a moment, not knowing what to say.
She can be good is strange, for nothing by a man to look naked, and at the end of people still lightly asked, you okay.
The sudden subtle atmosphere made Lindsey quickly realize that there was a story between the two of them, but she couldn’t ask because Randy was present, so she suppressed the urge to gossip.
Randy waited for a while and did not see Karen speak. A strange dark red appeared on his cold face and he reached out from his pocket and handed over a business card. “Call me if you need anything.”
Karen depressed to take it, mouth open, said: “I … I have nothing to do, you do not think too much.”
After saying that whirled around and got into the car, but also a strong urging Lindsey.
Lindsey shrugged at Randy, bent down into the car, closed the door immediately gossip. “He asked you if you were okay, how much does it mean in the end.”
“Nothing, it’s just that yesterday he sent me to the hospital, probably afraid that I hadn’t passed the anesthesia and was concerned before asking.” Karen bowed her head and quickly changed the subject. “I think that idea of yours is a good one, we can try to do it.”
“Karen, you must be hiding something from me.” Lindsey didn’t take the bait at all. “Tell me, what happened between you two.”
“What else could have happened? He took me to the hospital and then left.” Karen just wouldn’t let go. “Probably felt that he was behaving rather ungentlemanly.”
Lindsey saw that she wouldn’t talk about it, so she didn’t bother to ask anymore, but in her heart, she thought it would be good if Karen could really take Randy in.
When she got off the bus at the old mansion, Lindsey ordered the guard to send Karen home, and then turned around and walked inside.
When she passed the front yard, the maid called her and told her that Kaley had been here for a while.
What was she doing here? Lindsey rubbed her temples and followed the maid to the living room in the front yard.
Just as she entered the living room, Kaley’s nonchalant voice floated over. “You’re back?”
“Third Aunt.” Lindsey greeted and sat aside with a smile. “I wonder what Third Aunt wants to see me about.”
“Not a bad rack, but The Grant family is not your turn to put up a fight.” Kaley’s face was sullen, and his dark eyes, like ice, gave off a cold glow. “What’s with the injuries on Burton’s body.”
“Sanguine, are you asking that to the wrong person.” Lindsey’s heart stuttered, but her face wore a bland smile. “I don’t know.”
Kaley was so angry with her that she couldn’t speak. She raised her hand and slapped the table hard, yelling, “Don’t you dare say you don’t know!”
Lindsey didn’t take her anger seriously and played dumb. “I really don’t know, and besides, I don’t know Burton very well.”
“It’s obvious that you had someone do it.” Kaley slapped the table again. “Why else would Burton be hurt so badly.”
Lindsey figured out why she had come here to ask questions, but she didn’t feel nervous at all, and didn’t even take her words.
She does not think she did wrong, to say the wrong, the most wrong person is Burton, and she is the mother.
How good it is for everyone to be harmonious, but some people like to engage in some side ways.
After a few moments of silence, Kaley’s anger grew and she couldn’t help but mock, “Don’t think you’re The Grant family just because my dad is spoiling you, I’m telling you, you don’t deserve it!
Lindsey didn’t bother to argue with her, raised her hand to check the time and calmly got up. “If this is what you’re talking about, I’m sorry I don’t have time for it.”
“What kind of attitude do you have!” Kaley was furious, not caring about her status as an elder, she grabbed her teacup and smashed it. “Stop right there!”
Lindsey quickly turned sideways, avoiding her smashing teacups, and disdain gradually sprang up in the bottom of her clear eyes. “I won’t talk to grandpa about this today, but you’d better control your own son, Third Aunt! I wasn’t afraid of you three years ago, and I’m even less afraid now, and I also said that the people I’m going to protect, I’ll be able to protect them!”
Dropping her words, Lindsey lifted her feet and walked out of the living room without looking back.
She walked far away, but the sound of a broken teacup and Kaley’s tirade could still be heard in her ears.
Three years ago she made so much trouble, I thought these years by Old Mr. Grant to clean up a bit, has stopped, but I did not expect that still do not die.
She was able to pull Bruce out of the mire of despair, and will definitely protect him for life. What’s more, now that they have a baby, Kaley really doesn’t mind breaking the rules if he moves again.
The margin that should be left, she always left, Kaley does not appreciate, do not blame her ungracious.
Because of this, Lindsey was not in a good mood, and could not resist calling Bruce after work this afternoon.
When the call came through, she complained as soon as she opened her mouth. “Third Aunt hit me with a teacup today!”
“Are you hurt? Does it hurt?” Bruce was shocked. “What did Dr. Hunter say.”
Lindsey sniffled and suddenly laughed. “How could I have let her hurt me.”Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“It’s all my fault, I’ll inform Hector right back and forbid her to set foot in the old house.” Bruce gritted his teeth in anger. “You don’t even act like an elder, you’re going to turn the tables on me.”
Lindsey listened to his ramblings on the other end of the phone, angry and amused, I should have known not to tell him. “You can come back this week, I miss you.”
“Good girl, I miss you too.” Bruce’s voice was loving across the microphone. “I miss you so much.”
“Then you must come back on Friday.” Lindsey pursed her lips and asked about the outcome of Terence’s treatment.
After talking for a while, Bruce seemed to have a meeting, and the two had to hang up.
Lindsey turned her head to look out of the car and found that she had already entered Nine Lakes Mountain. She whirled around and lowered the window to be questioned by the post.
When she came to the building where Old Mr. Grant lived, she ran into Old Mr. Gregor, and Lindsey greeted him and joined him in the courtyard.
Old Mr. Grant was in the vegetable patch, watering the newly planted seedlings, and waved his hand without saying anything.
Lindsey ordered the maids to serve tea and noticed that Old Mr. Gregor seemed to be holding an invitation in his hand and couldn’t help but be curious. “Grandpa Gregor, are you here to deliver the invitation?”
“You girl, your eyes are quite sharp.” Old Mr. Gregor laughed and put the invitation on the stone table. “This Saturday is Randy’s 27th birthday, and I would like to invite you youngsters, to join us at home.”
“You can just say hello, sending invitations is so troublesome.” Lindsey answered with a smile, “Is it being held over at the Royal Garden.”
“Yes, you and Bruce, and The Hawke family and his daughter-in-law, must come over and have some fun.” Old Mr. Gregor smiled meaningfully. “If you have any more friends, you can bring them there too.”
Lindsey knew what his old man had in mind as soon as he heard it, and couldn’t help but feel amused.
It seemed that everyone was very keen on the idea of marriage.
After sitting for a while, Old Mr. Grant finished watering and came over with his hands behind his back, glanced at the invitation on the table, and went back to teasing the parrot. “This is called an invitation, you know.”
“The butcher is anxious to get his grandchildren.” The parrot lazily replied, looking down and carefully combing his feathers, looking less interested.
Lindsey was speechless, thinking that this parrot has really become refined.
After ordering someone to bring out the chess board, Old Mr. Grant instructed Lindsey to take the invitation away and smilingly greeted Old Mr. Gregor to play chess.
“I won’t play with you.” Old Mr. Gregor raised his eyebrows, pointed at Lindsey and said, “I’ll play with this girl.”
Who knows that just as he finished speaking, the parrot suddenly became excited and shouted, “Play chess and repent again, and again”
