Chapter 269 : The Noisy Parrot
“I’m more concerned about you and whether you’re leaving the day after tomorrow.” Lindsey lowered her head, a little down in mood. “It’s going to be several months apart from you.”
“Silly, a few months can easily pass. You left me when you were gone for three years.” Bruce was amused and annoyed. “How come you weren’t sad then.”
“Who said I wasn’t sad, you just didn’t know.” Lindsey didn’t like to rehash old scores with him, and after sitting in the water for a while, she got up, put on a towel and went back to the lounge chair to lie down.
Bruce saw that it was about time and curtly brought her clothes and carefully helped her put them on before putting on his own clothes and joining her out of the Supreme Room.
When I came to the parking lot, I asked Hector Burton how he was doing and learned that he had actually walked back, which made me feel a little better.
When they got into the car and left the Moon Pavilion, the two of them did not take the same road to the Royal Garden, but went directly to Nine Lakes Mountain.
When they entered, Old Mr. Grant had gotten a parrot from somewhere and was now teaching it to talk.
Lindsey greeted him with a smile and cheerfully walked over to him, looking left and right curiously. “Can it talk.”
“You don’t talk.” The parrot’s voice shrilled up, “Lindsey, play chess.”
“Uh …” Lindsey froze, then instantly laughed. “Grandpa, where did you get this baby.”
“Professor Lee sent it to me, he gave him a pair and he got tired of it and threw one at me.” Old Mr. Grant sat back in his chair, laughing and teasing the parrot. “Call someone.”
“Lindsey plays chess.” The parrot squawked again at Lindsey and turned his head to Bruce. “Bruce, you sit down.”
“Oops, you still know people.” Bruce also found it funny and couldn’t help but tease it. “Just these two sentences, you are also really stupid.”
“I can’t even win at chess.” The parrot seemed a little angry and jumped around on the shelf. “You’re really stupid too.”
Old Mr. Grant took a look, whirled and coughed, and said to the parrot. “No noise!”
The parrot was instantly honest and stayed on the shelf, twisting his head to comb his feathers.
Lindsey couldn’t stop laughing, and laughed at Bruce, saying he was silly enough.
Old Mr. Grant was looking good and seemed very precious about the parrot, Lindsey laughed for a while, mentioned Bruce’s preparation to return to the army and asked, “Grandpa, I want to go with the army, do you think it’s okay.”
Old Mr. Grant didn’t expect Lindsey to mention this, his face sank and said worriedly, “The conditions there are more bitter, can you stand it.”
“I’ve read that there is a local teacher training college, I can apply for a secondment there, so I can be closer to Bruce and take care of him.” Lindsey met his gaze with a smile. “I grew up in the mountains, what kind of hardship I have not suffered.”
Old Mr. Grant pondered for a while and added, “It’s good to go, so you won’t have to keep getting me into trouble.”
“Grandpa, I’m not in trouble.” Lindsey frowned and turned her head to Bruce. “He did.”
Old Mr. Grant laughed and greeted Jack as he brought the chess board over.
As soon as the parrot saw the chess board, he fluttered his wings with delight. “Play chess, Lily I made a wrong move this time.”
Old Mr. Grant was displeased and told Jack to take the parrot away immediately, Lindsey was afraid to laugh, but she felt more and more like a child.
After the game of chess, Edward came back with Lily, so they went to the living room together.
After sitting down and chatting for a while, Edward’s phone came in and he looked at the number, got up and went outside to answer it.
After a while, he came back from the call and found that Lily and Lindsey were gone, and looked at Bruce suspiciously.
Bruce nudged down toward the kitchen, gesturing to him for tea.
Edward originally wanted to say something about Burton, but considering that Old Mr. Grant did not seem to like the grandson, he did not say anything.
After Old Mr. Grant went to his room to rest at 9:00 p. m., the four of them went out together to get the car.
Edward called Bruce and told him about the earlier phone call and asked him to keep an eye on Lindsey’s safety.
Bruce gave him a grateful look and turned his head to get into his car.
Lindsey saw the scene of them talking through the car window and asked as soon as the door was closed, “What did Edward say to you.”
Bruce pondered for a second and said, “He said that the Miller kid was at a dinner party yesterday and heard a message about his cousin and told me to keep an eye on you.”
“It’s not another international hit man you’re looking for, is it? Phoebe played this trick once.” Lindsey looked bemused and curled her lips. “Or is he going to do it himself.”
“I don’t know yet, but from what he said, the other side is not small.” Bruce was worried. “I’ll mention it to Grandpa later, he’s just too lawless.”
Lindsey wasn’t too worried, but she had two more in her belly now, so she had to be careful.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Back at the old house downtown, Lindsey took a shower and lay down on the bed with her laptop, continuing to read the reports she hadn’t finished during the day.
Bruce didn’t know what he was working on with Cary and the others, but it was late at night when he returned to his room.
Lindsey was so deep in sleep that she didn’t even know he was back in her room, and didn’t even know he was lying on it.
Bruce, with one hand on his jaw, looked at her tenderly for a long time before he was content to turn off the light and go to sleep.
The day he returned to the army, Lindsey got up early in the morning to pack his bags, and also prepared a lot of food for him.
Bruce looked at her with amusement as she sorted out several large boxes, and went over to take out all the clothes and stuff, explaining, “These things are useless to bring over, and I can’t wear them.”
“I forgot … I always thought you were going on a business trip.” Lindsey patted his head, waiting for him to take out all the clothes, and immediately put the rest of those food things, all loaded in.
This statement, the parting of the mournful emotions instantly diffuse.
Bruce looked at her gaze, also became hot and sticky, the bottom of the eyes written full of reluctance.
“The climate is still hot at this time of the year in Dongjiang, so I won’t bring you any winter clothes, I’ll bring them over when I’m on winter break.” Lindsey pointed to one of the boxes, “Here are some medicines for bruises, all left to me by my grandfather, you take them with you.”
“Wife …” Bruce’s arms reached out and tightly embraced her into his arms. “I really can’t let go of you.”
Lindsey breathlessly pushed him away and continued to pack her bags.
She didn’t want to leave him, she just didn’t show it.
When it was almost time for Bruce to leave, Lindsey called for logistics and helped him take his luggage outside, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips like a dragonfly.
Bruce held her in his arms again and kept deepening the kiss, and there was even an urge in his head to stay in B City.
At the end of the long, passionate kiss, he moved his lips away and buried his head deep into the nape of her neck, murmuring, “Be well, you and your son, and I’ll try to call you.”
“Got it, what a nag.” Lindsey wrinkled her nose in disgust and stretched out her index finger to poke him hard in the chest a few times, “No looking at other women, or I’ll take your son and go far away.”
“My heart belongs to you alone, so don’t worry, I won’t look at anyone else.” Bruce rubbed the top of her head and took her hand and walked out of the living room together.
When they arrived at the main courtyard, Old Mr. Grant’s car also came in the gate. The two of them greeted each other holding hands with sadness written plainly on their faces.
Old Mr. Grant got out of the car, looked at Bruce and then Lindsey, nodded in satisfaction and smiled, “That’s something, but the situation has changed temporarily, you don’t have to go to the station, you can start back to the military school tomorrow and take part in the practical simulation training.”
“Uh …” Bruce looked at Old Mr. Grant incredulously, for a long time before he asked excitedly, “Grandpa, is this true.”
“Yes, the order has been given and Warren from Lindsey is coming.” Old Mr. Grant smiled again, and his eyes fell on Lindsey: “How have you been these days?”
“All good.” Lindsey was overwhelmed with joy, “Thank you, Grandpa, for caring.”
“This has nothing to do with me, it was Bruce who went to the Northwest and got the credit for this opportunity to go for further training.” Old Mr. Grant waved his hand and greeted her and went to the living room in the main courtyard.
Bruce was left outside the door and joined Hector in taking the luggage that had been moved back to the side yard.
Lindsey and Old Mr. Grant went into the living room and sat down, and the maid quickly brought tea. After chatting about Bruce’s trip to further education, Old Mr. Grant suddenly changed the subject and asked, “Did you guys do something to Burton the day before yesterday.”
“He found someone to hack the account of Hui Ai, fortunately found early, so that the fund did not cause losses to the bank.” Lindsey also does not hide, directly pick the truth. “Bruce momentarily angry, just clean him up a little.”
“It’s just that …” Old Mr. Grant knew what was going on before he arrived, and he thought Lindsey would hide it for Bruce, but she graciously admitted it.
But Lindsey’s most admirable thing is also this, do anything openly and honestly, never engage in backstabbing that set.
On the contrary, his own grandson, a set of tactics, a minute can kill people.
Lindsey waited for a while, did not see him have the following, so could not help but ask: “Grandpa, Bruce and I are not too much.”
“And you know that too much.” Old Mr. Grant let out a long sigh and said, “Burton is a high-minded boy, but his heart is not right, so I have never liked him much and have no intention to cultivate him.”
Lindsey pondered for a while and sighed helplessly. “Unfortunately, he can’t see that, and he always thinks that it is Bruce’s existence that has caused him to be left out.”
Old Mr. Grant smiled bitterly and nodded, then stopped talking.
The fact that Lindsey was able to say these words shows that she is definitely protective of Bruce in her heart and is beginning to truly realize that she is a member of The Grant family.
Now that she is pregnant again, it is really time to settle this Burton matter properly to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.
Old Mr. Grant thought for a while, got up and slowly left the yard, greeting Jack back to Nine Lakes Mountain.
Lindsey went to the door until Old Mr. Grant’s car was out of sight, and then turned back to the side yard.
Bruce was still worried about the boxes all over the floor, and when he saw her enter, he scratched his head in embarrassment. “Grandpa should have been notified earlier.”
“He also just learned the news, I guess the official approval will arrive in a while.” Just as Lindsey’s words fell, Bruce’s cell phone rang.
The one that made the ringing sound was the army-specific cell phone. Bruce’s face was solemn as he immediately picked up the phone.
