Chapter 270 : unrepentant
Bruce talked to the other party for a few moments, hung up the phone, and looked at Lindsey with a bitter smile. “Food do not need to bring, I have to live to the military school, tomorrow morning report, can come back once a week.”
“I’ll reorganize it for you, by the way, notify the logistics to put together the guest room in the side yard, Warren’s plane should be here soon.” Lindsey smiled and took his hand, snickering, “It’s better to come back once a week than to not see him for months.”
“Yeah, well, it’s just as well we don’t have anything to do today for a while, so I’ll walk you to the hospital later for your maternity checkup.” Bruce leaned over and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. “It’s okay to pack your bags later.”
Lindsey looked at the time, agreed to his proposal, and went back to her room to get her bag and the book for her maternity exam.
When she arrived at the military hospital, Lindsey came down from her maternity checkup and coincidentally ran into Aurora again.
Lindsey noticed that she had a new wig and couldn’t help but feel amused, pulling Bruce right past her.
“Lindsey,” Aurora called out to her with an inscrutable smile on her face, and said lightly, “I hope your baby comes out okay.”
Before Lindsey could say anything, Bruce was furious. “I think you should pray more that Old Mr. Palvin doesn’t pass away too soon!”
Aurora’s face changed and her smile froze on her lips for a moment. “I knew it, Lindsey didn’t even try to help! You’re such a vicious woman, sooner or later you’ll get what’s coming to you!”
Bruce’s face changed abruptly and he almost couldn’t resist slapping her, but he finally resisted the impulse. “If you have time to meddle in other people’s business, you should think about how long the glory of The Palvin family can be maintained!”
After saying that, he gave her a warning glance and embraced Lindsey towards the parking area.
“She’s sick in the head, isn’t she?” Lindsey’s heart was unusually uncomfortable. “I helped out for a few days, and now I’m the guilty party.”
“Take it easy, why do you think she’s so normal.” Bruce opened the car door and helped her up. “If you really can’t stand it, I’ll ask Hector to give her a good beating some other time.”
“Forget it, The Palvin family is in a worse position than The Heard family, so I won’t be the bad guy.” Lindsey rubbed her stomach, took out the ultrasound film, and looked left and right. “Still don’t see much, but they’re all healthy.”
Bruce couldn’t tell either, taking the film to his eyes and examining it, then putting it back.
Back at the old house, the two of them repacked their bags, and Warren’s phone call came unexpectedly.
Knowing that he had already boarded the plane, Lindsey immediately asked the security guard to prepare a car to pick him up at the airport and asked Bruce to go with him.
Bruce had no problem with this and told her a few things and left.
After picking up Warren, we all went back to Nine Lakes for dinner with Old Mr. Grant in the evening. Edward and Lily also came and talked to Lindsey about the wedding before Old Mr. Grant returned.
“What time is it scheduled for?” Lindsey asked casually, “Did Grandpa Hawke say yes?”
“Long ago, he wanted to come over and propose in person, but Father said he was too old and didn’t agree.” Edward thoughtful Lily peeling apples, the smile on his face can not be hidden: “My father will come over tomorrow to propose marriage.”
“Later, when grandpa comes back, you can talk to him yourself.” Lindsey smiled and found that Warren’s gaze had been lingering on Lily, his heart thumped and he got up to greet him and went to the side room.
Bruce saw this and followed.
Edward did not know why, considering that there might be something to talk about between the siblings, he stayed in the living room with Lily at ease.
Lily’s ability to learn is very strong, came to B City only a month or so, can already speak a mouthful of authentic H national language, mannerisms also dignified and decent. The first time people who don’t know about it, they think it’s a girl from a family, which makes him look good.
In the side room of the living room, Lindsey personally poured a cup of tea for Warren, and spoke in a rushed manner, “Warren …”
“Lily is a lot like you.” Warren raised his eyes to look at her, his insightful gaze sharp as a sharp sword, looking straight into Lindsey’s eyes. “What the hell is going on.”
Before Lindsey could say anything, Bruce interjected, “I’ll tell you what’s going on.”
Warren raised an eyebrow, picked up his cup of tea and gently sipped it, waiting for his explanation.
Bruce was worried that Warren couldn’t handle the fact that Lindsey wasn’t from The Heard family, so he made up a lie that he had gone back to Samuel some time ago and found a suicide note to Lindsey in Old Mr. Grant’s medical case.
“And how did Lindsey find Lily?” Warren didn’t quite believe that there could be such a coincidence in the world. “As far as I know, Grandpa never talked to us about it.”
Bruce rubbed his brow and put on a very painful look, saying, “Grandpa is probably afraid that you will be burdened, and we only found out about this after we met Lily and looked up the medical case.”
Afraid that he did not believe, Bruce also deliberately added, Edward and other people where to find Lily, and brought her to the fragrant acacia.
Warren saw a side of Lindsey did not say anything, is basically the default Bruce’s story, also will not pursue.
After the death of Old Mr. Heard, none of the brothers really went back to sort out their belongings, and no one had time to stay at Samuel’s. Lindsey went back to China twice, so it’s not surprising that she found something.
The mystery was solved, and Warren’s face eased as he greeted the couple and returned to the living room.
Soon after, Old Mr. Grant also entered the door, and everyone got up to greet.
When Old Mr. Grant saw Warren, he nodded with satisfaction and paced to the dining room with his hands behind his back.
After each of them was seated, Edward talked about the marriage proposal and looked at Old Mr. Grant with an apprehensive face.
“I haven’t had much time with your grandfather in years, so I’ll have him come along tomorrow, Lindsey, you come back then too.” Old Mr. Grant had a kind smile on his face and looked at Edward appreciatively. “Be good to Lily when you get married, or I’ll shoot you.”
Once everyone heard this, they knew Old Mr. Grant was in a good mood, so they all relaxed and laughed.
After the meal, Lindsey stopped playing chess with Old Mr. Grant and replaced him with Warren.
Warren was not very good at chess, and after a few games, he was abused by Old Mr. Grant. When it was Lindsey’s turn, Warren watched from the side for a while, and his cold face could not help but float a layer of suspicious dark red.
He did know Lindsey could play chess, but he didn’t expect her level to be above his own.
On the way back from Nine Lakes Mountain, Warren wanted to say something several times, but finally couldn’t help but ask Lindsey, “Lindsey, you asked Old Mr. Grant for a favor when I came to the training, right?”
“Of course not.” Lindsey denied with a smile. “You think with Old Mr. Grant’s nature, it would be useful for me to beg?”
Warren thought about it, even Bruce had to start from the bottom, how could he get promoted at once.
The next day, Lindsey went back to school, Bruce followed Warren, took the certificate and left for the military school.
It was still early when Lindsey arrived at the beauty school. Putting down the wedding candy she had brought, she fetched a glass of water and sat down in her seat, and began to prepare for what she was going to say in class.
The things she had encountered in the gallery and the old man’s home during this period of time made her want to talk to the students.
When she was almost ready, her colleagues came in one after another, smiling and greeting Lindsey.
Lindsey smiled back, got up to hand out the wedding candy, and pretended not to notice, inquiring about Aurora’s whereabouts.
“I heard that she did the resignation procedure to focus on taking care of their family Old Mr. Grant, we don’t understand the details.” At the same time, she opened the box of wedding candy and saw that the candy inside was either special or imported, once again admiring the status and power of The Grant family.
Lindsey felt like she was showing off, so she smiled bitterly and continued to work on the rest of the lecture.
The story of Aurora’s absence all day was mixed, and Lindsey didn’t bother to inquire further, so she had the security guard take her to Nine Lakes Mountain after work in the afternoon.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
The Hawke family hadn’t arrived yet, so Lindsey was out in the yard playing with the parrot when she ran into Old Mr. Gregor.
Old Mr. Grant’s back was straight and his wrinkled face bore the marks of his youthful good looks, and his body naturally exuded an aura of unruffled authority.
“Hello, Grandpa Gregor.” Lindsey got up to give a greeting, not wanting the parrot behind her to actually laugh: “Here comes the repentant chess player.”
“…” Lindsey looked embarrassed and was about to explain when she heard Old Mr. Gregor laughing. “This beast is quite attractive.”
“Grandpa Gregor, you sit down.” Lindsey’s smile was unnatural and she turned around to greet the logistics and serve tea.
Old Mr. Gregor waved his hand and sat down opposite her, laughing: “While Alan Grant is not back, you girl should play a game of chess with me.”
“Yes, I’ll go get the board.” Lindsey nodded decently and went back to the living room to bring out the Old Mr. Grant’s fine rosewood chessboard and set it gently on the stone table. “Grandpa Gregor, you can have your tea first.”
Old Mr. Gregor waved his hand, waited for her to set up the board, and then picked up the chess pieces and made a move.
Lindsey had played with him once before and had a vague impression of his way of playing chess, so she had a bit of a headache as to how to make it without showing any signs.
Unfortunately, the pesky parrot, like a worm in her belly, called out after a move: “Lindsey, no move.”
“You’re a pain in the ass.” Lindsey glared back at him, “I’m not going to give up.”
Old Mr. Gregor’s face remained the same, but the look he gave the parrot was as cold as a knife.
The parrot didn’t feel threatened by him and was happily spinning around on the shelf. “Repentant chess player, the level is too poor, can not let, not a single piece.”
As he was speaking, Old Mr. Grant entered with his hands behind his back, smiling. “What are you talking about, you can’t let.”
Since Old Mr. Gregor’s back was to the door, when Old Mr. Grant saw him immediately sank his face, displeased: “Gregor butcher, you have nothing to come up to my house here what hilarious.”
“A year old, and still shake off the temper of the young master, also do not mind shabby.” Old Mr. Gregor narrowed his eyes, looked back at him with a smile, and said, “This place of yours is very popular, so what’s wrong with me coming here.”
“Nothing, I’ll be right back after the chess game, I’m angry at the sight of you.” Old Mr. Grant said so, but his face was not the least bit angry.
Sitting next to Lindsey with his hands behind his back, he gestured to Jack to put the parrot down and teased him, “What did you just say about capable hand”
“Repentant chess player” The parrot happily jumped on him, a pair of small eyes dripping at Old Mr. Gregor. “Hello Grandpa Gregor.”
“The little beast …” Old Mr. Gregor pretended to be serious and squared himself up, raising his eyes to Lindsey. “You’re a good girl.”
Lindsey speechlessly lowered her head, on the contrary, Old Mr. Grant smiled, proudly raised his chin, and gently spat out two words: “That’s…”
Old Mr. Gregor was not impressed by his showy behavior, and suddenly said, “Old Mr. Grant, let’s get down to business.”
