Mr Grant, Please Be Gentle

“Mrs. Grant, after this incident do you feel you should keep your distance from the opposite sex.”

Almost pestling the microphone into Blanca Roach’s face, the female reporter’s tone was disdainful and her eyes seemed to carry contempt for Blanca Roach.

Blanca Roach was annoyed by her stare, but answered her question: “This is not a feudal society, it is normal for the opposite sex to interact with each other. There’s nothing wrong with keeping a normal distance from the opposite sex, and I think I’ve always done that.”

“Really? Then…”

The female reporter wanted to ask more, but was suddenly silenced.

Matthew Grant looked at her coldly and shut her up with just that one glance.

“You’re very persistent in your prejudices, young lady.”

Matthew Grant laughed casually, and the other reporters laughed along with him, except for the woman who felt her scalp tingle.

Matthew Grant’s eyes were so frightening, that one look made her feel as if she was being targeted by a poisonous snake.

“Is there anything else everyone wants to ask?” Curtis Irwin stepped forward to moderate, the air was eerily quiet, and no one asked any more questions.

“Very well, I have something to say if people don’t ask questions.”

The cameras all focused on Matthew Grant.

“This incident has had a great impact on the person’s life, my wife cried for a long time after seeing those slurs on the internet, she is a strong person, it’s the first time I’ve seen her cry because of two or three accusations from others, public opinion hurts people too much, I hereby solemnly declare, please don’t hurt my wife in any way, don’t challenge my bottom line, in the future, any remarks on the internet against my I will send a lawyer’s letter to pursue any malicious remarks against my wife on the internet in the future, and I will never let them go.

Matthew Grant doesn’t just want the media to shut up, he wants public opinion to stop.

He won’t let Blanca Roach see anything against her when she goes online.

The press conference ended.

A group of people left The Grant family, and the only one left was Paddy.

He didn’t want to leave so hastily, because this time it was a real departure, both emotionally and as a person.

“Do you really have to go?” Blanca Roach was slightly reluctant when she learned that Paddy was going back to the company headquarters abroad.

The friendship of her youth was finally cut off by the world and its evil thoughts, and at this moment she had a bitter hatred for the world.

Paddy smiled and looked at her with unrestrained eyes, indulging himself one last time and conveying his love to her without reservation.

Blanca Roach dropped her eyes from his hot gaze. The journalist was right, she had to keep her distance and not let her pure friendship turn sour.

“Paddy, take care of yourself.”

“…” the sudden change of address, Paddy’s eyes flashed with a flash of hurt.

“Because we’ve all grown up.” With an arched eyebrow, Blanca Roach smiled sweetly, but inexplicably with a sense of detachment.

Yes, they were all grown up, and it was time to wake up to their dreams.

Matthew Grant listened to their conversation, his eyebrows raised, satisfied with the answer Blanca Roach gave Paddy.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Paddy leaves, and Blanca Roach walks him to the door, watching him drive away until he is no longer visible in the smoke of the dust, the sluggishness and desolation.

Accompanying her, Matthew Grant also looked to that spot, not rushing to hurry her back, and no longer jealous of the sentimentality in Blanca Roach’s eyes, as is humanly possible, Blanca Roach had only friendship for Paddy.

“Go back.” Blanca Roach squeezed Matthew Grant’s hand, and the breeze ruffled her long hair.

She was still bright as sunshine, in front of Matthew Grant’s eyes, on that human heart.
