The Doted Lady Is So Wild

“Anna, it’s me.”

“Sis Kristen.”

On the other side of the phone, Anna exclaimed. She glanced at the number and quickly asked, “Sis, where are you? Mr. Wharton has been looking for you.”

“How is he?”

Kristen tightened her grip on her clothes. According to time, her auntie should have already arrived there.

“Mr. Wharton is in poor health. He had been looking for you since you disappeared. He couldn’t be persuaded. Yesterday, doctor M said something to persuade him to go back and the operation will be held the day after tomorrow.”

Surgery the day after tomorrow …

“Anna, save this number. Don’t tell Ethan about it. Let him finish the surgery securely.”

Anna’s eyes widened. “Sis Kristen, what are you talking about? What if Mr. Wharton knows about your news and then he can have a peaceful operation.”

If Ethan knew that I tried o get my aunt to operate on him and agree to the engagement with another man, he might jump out of bed in anger.

Kristen smiled bitterly and reminded her carefully, “Anna, listen to me.”

It was rare for Anna to see Kristen so serious, so she could only agree obediently.

“Okay, got it. But Sis Kristen, you can’t lose contact anymore. We will be worried.”

Kristen’s heart warmed and she hummed in agreement.

After hanging up, Kristen heaved a sigh of relief.

“Ethan, I hope your operation goes well.”

The day after tomorrow, Kristen waited until dawn.

It was early winter, but she was sweating profusely.

The phone rang. It was Anna’s number.

Kristen answered immediately, “Anna, how’s it going?”

“Sis, the operation goes well. You don’t have to worry.”

“Good, that’s good.”

Kristen covered her mouth to prevent herself from sobbing. From now on, Ethan no longer had to worry about not being able to live long.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“Sis, without you, even if Mr. Wharton gets better, he won’t be happy.”

Anna spoke seriously. She had witnessed the love between them over such a long time.

She really couldn’t understand. Why did they have to separate when neither of them could leave the other?

“I’ll be able to go back and accompany him soon.”

The corners of Kristen’s lips curled into a smile. She had returned precisely to settle family issues.

Even if her aunt threatened her with Ethan, she could not marry another man.

Ethan had long occupied her heart. This was something that would never change.

After hanging up the phone, Kristen stretched herself, hid her phone, and went downstairs.

For the first time in a few days, she left her room.

Mr. Old Oliver was watching TV in the living room. When he saw her, he waved at her with a smile. “Kristen, come here. Grandpa is watching your variety show.”

The TV was broadcasting the scene of her being pursued by a chicken. At that time, she only knew that she was afraid, but now it seemed shameful.

Kristen sat on the sofa and started to throw a tantrum. “Grandpa, what’s wrong with you? If I don’t come down, won’t you always give in to me?”

Mr. Old Oliver said, “My little granddaughter is smart. She won’t keep herself in the room all the time.”

“Grandpa~”

Kristen pouted. The whole family had seen through her and she didn’t even know how to resist.

“Well, to make it up to my granddaughter, I’ll take a walk with you.”

“… Grandpa, should I accompany you, or should you accompany me?”

Kristen complained softly, but she still accompanied Mr. Old Oliver out of the house.

Oliver’s residence was on an island, surrounded by water on all sides. The people next to them were business tycoons and political tycoons. The scenery was picturesque and the land was expensive.

Mr. Old Oliver sighed, “Alas, I haven’t walked with you for a long time.”

Kristen tilted her head and looked at her grandfather’s aged face and stooped body. Her nose twitched and she felt sorry.

“Grandpa, I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”

Mr. Old Oliver sighed and shook his head. “Kristen, I don’t have many days to live. My biggest wish now is that you can marry well so that I can be at ease.”

“Pah! Pah! Pah! Grandpa, what are you talking about? Grandpa, you will live for a hundred years!”

Kristen felt terrible. To follow in her mother’s footsteps, she became a star.

Her parents had passed away when she was born. Her elder brother had said that she was the incarnation of her parents.

Her grandfather had doted on her since she was a child, but she was so insensible.

Seeing that the mood was right, Grandpa quickly said. “Alas, Kristen, Grandpa is doing this for your good. Grandpa chose Elvis myself, and he is your best home.”

“…”

Only then did Kristen realize that her grandfather was playing the hard card. She had forgotten that her grandfather cared about health the most. Although he was 60 or 70 years old, he was physically strong, so he might not run slower than her.

“Humph, it’s feasible. If the hard work doesn’t work, he should resort to the Self-harming Trick.”

“Grandpa, if you like Elvis that much, why not recognize him as your grandson? After all, you have five grandsons, it’s no big deal.”

Grandpa Xu glared at her. “Nonsense. Elvis is your fiance. Who would I recognize him as my grandson?”

Kristen glared at him. “I’ve already said that I won’t be engaged to him. He’s not my fiance.”

“Heh, you little girl. You promised us a good deal, so how can you go back on your word?”

Mr. Old Oliver straightened his body hurriedly, no longer looking as old as before.

“I only promised to come back. I never promised to get engaged to Elvis Sterling.”

Kristen had been prepared for this. She knew that her grandfather would do something like this. Anyway, she wouldn’t admit it. She wanted to see what they could do to her.

“Is that so? Then do you want me to perform another surgery on Ethan Wharton?”

Heloise suddenly appeared behind her and said in a serious tone.

Kristen turned around and her arrogance was extinguished. “Aunt, you… you’re back.”

Heloise glared at her and looked at Mr. Old Oliver with a smile. “Dad, I’m back.”

“Aye.”

Mr. Old Oliver nodded and handed his hand to Kristen. “Let’s go home for dinner.”

Kristen hurried to support Grandpa, fearing that her aunt would grab him again.

When they got home, they had a happy reunion dinner.

Heloise raised his glass and announced, “The engagement ceremony will be held in four days. Jorden, sort out the guest lists and send them out. The major newspapers and websites will also be in the headlines. The engagement of our little princess cannot be a small matter.”

Kristen retorted in a low voice, “Aunt, I’m still an actress. Isn’t it inappropriate for me to make such a big fuss?”

“You are now Kristen Oliver, not Kristen Healey.” Heloise corrected her.

“Aunt, you’re too domineering.”

Kristen mumbled resentfully, causing the men around her to heave a sigh of relief.

Although her aunt was usually gentle, she was the strictest person in the family. Only Kristen dared to speak to her like this.

Bang.

Heloise put down his glass and stared at her. “So, are you getting engaged or not?”

Kristen bit her lip without saying a word. She dared to be willful in front of her grandfather and brother, but she dared not in front of her aunt.

On the one hand, she didn’t have a mother. On the other hand, her aunt brought her up and on the other hand, it was Ethan.

Ethan had just had an operation and she didn’t know if his body would stabilize yet. She didn’t dare to bet.
