Shortly after Mr. Lee went upstairs, Shirley came downstairs.
Allie was reading a magazine on the sofa. Hearing that sound, she rose up promptly and said, “Hey,
mom.”
“Oh, you scared me!” Shirley gasped and complained.
Seeing there was nothing in her mother’s hands, Allie felt frightened.
Mr. Lee showed the revised will to Frank in the study and asked, “If you think this is okay, just sign
here.”
“Okay, I don’t see any problems.”
“Good. Then I’ll have your daughter sign it later.”
Frank glanced aside at the bowl and said, “No, not now. You can just let her sign it this weekend.”
“Okay.”
After Mr. Lee left, Frank lifted the small bowl in his hand. There was chicken soup and maybe some
other stuff in the bowl. Frank
smiled bitterly to himself and then drank all of the soup in one gulp.
Since Anna left, Matthew stayed in Peter’s house and refused to go back to Wayne’s no matter what.
Wayne was worried about his
son and wanted to visit him. However, he was also afraid that his grandfather would ask him about
Anna. So, he was very annoyed.
Peter had already known that Anna chose to resign. On the day Anna handed in her resignation letter,
the news was spread to the corporate headquarters. So, of course Peter knew about it quickly.
Moreover, he even asked about the gossip going around the
office.
“Remember how Charlotte treated you before, Wayne? So, you are going to break up with Anna for
her, huh? Do you realize what a
wonderful woman Anna is? God, I think you’re really insane!”
Peter slapped the table and continued with regret and anger, “No wonder Matthew has been so
restless these days. You still wanted
to hide it from me, don’t you?”
Wayne didn’t say a word. After Peter scolded him, he said calmly, “Okay, Grandpa. This is my own
business, and you might have to
stay out of it.”
Peter yelled angrily, “I need to stay out of it‘7 You are my grandson, the only heir of the Wrights of the
next generation! You know
what, you are humiliating our entire family!”
“Oh? So, are you trying to threaten me with the company again like before?”
Wayne deliberately acted as if he was numb and indifferent. However, he was not doing this to piss off
his grandfather but because
be was at a loss. He didn’t know how he should handle his relationship with Anna and had been
confused about it for a long time.
Peter grunted and said, “Oh, if that’s the case, then it would be too good for you! We have a seafood
company in North Town, and it
has recently gollen into trouble. The company sells bad seafood, and many customers have been
complaining about it. Go there, find
out what happened, and help them out of their troubles.”
Before Wayne could answer, Henry, standing nearby, pleaded on his behall, saying, “Oh, no! You know,
it’s very hot and humid in
North Town, and it’s so far away from here. It’s summer, and you can get dehydrated just walking
around the beach. Wayne can’t suffer
that I think that you can get a manager there, Peter. If no one wants to go, then I’ll go.”
“Do my words count here, or do you?” Peter said with a disgruntled glare at Henry.
Without saying anything else, Wayne got up with his jacket and said, “Okay, Grandpa, I’ll leave
tomorrow morning.”
“Waynel” Henry said. He lett resigned, but there was nothing he could do. He knew Wayne well enough
and realized that he had
been stubborn since he was a child, Moreover, he knew that Peter was the kind of person who would
not back out. So, Wayne was
definitely going to go there.
Henry sighed and said, “Peter, I don’t think you need to do that. He’s in his thirties, and he knows what
he’s doing. So, you don’t
have to be so harsh on him now.”
“Oh, you probably don’t understand; I’m doing this to help him,” Peter said meaningfully.
After that, he had a look of satisfaction on his face, as if his plan had worked. He waved towards the
bedroom and said, “Matthew,
hey, come over here.”
Henry glanced at the bedroom in surprise. He had no idea when Matthew had been hiding in Peter’s
bedroom.
Matthew ran up to Peter, looked at him, and seemed extremely delighted
“Did you hear what I just said to your father? Look! I promised you that I would let your father and
mother meet again. I did it!”
Matthew nodded seriously and struggled to make a sound, “Hmm.”
Peter was relieved to hear that. Ever since Anna left, Matthew looked upset and wouldn’t even eat.
Later, Peter called Tammy to ask
her to persuade Matthew on the phone. Only after talking to Tammy did Matthew seem cheerful.
And, to Peter’s surprise, Matthew was even willing to talk after that. Although Matthew only said a few
simple words, it was a great
surprise to Peter since he hadn’t heard him speak for a long time.
Peter stroked Matthew’s head and asked gently, “Matthew, I’ve done what I promised you. So,
shouldn’t you eat something now like
you promised me?”
“Mmm,” Matthew said, then nodded his head again.
Henry understood what Peter meant and then immediately asked the cook to make something for
Matthew to eat.
Looking at Matthew wolfing down his food, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“What did you promise him?” Henry lowered his voice and asked Peter.
Peter put down the newspaper in his hand, frowned and said, “Well, I’m just helping my silly grandson
get his future wife back.”
Anna had just packed her things in her apartment downtown and put her suitcase on the doorstep.
“Tammy, I’m going to another city tomorrow and I won’t be back for a few days. I’ll drop you off at Aunt
Peace’s tomorrow morning,
okay? I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
Sitting on the couch, Tammy said with slight excitement, ‘Okay! Don’t worry, mommy, i’ll take care of
myself. Well, it’s okay if you
want to stay there for a few more days.”
Anna said, “Why should I stay there for a few more days? Baby, I’m not going there for a vacation.
Come on, let me take you to the
shower. I have to get up early tomorrow.”
Anna was still renovating Lemon. The company hadn’t officially started hiring employees yet, but Anna
felt that she should be
prepared before that.
Peace introduced her to a friend of hers who studied design at Central Saint Martins. After working for
a few years, that person quit
his job because he felt that commercial activities were incompatible with his design concept.
So, he went back to his hometown in North Town and lived the life of a “caveman”. Peace said he didn’t
even use a cell phone. To
find him, people had to call a pay phone in town and have the person who answered it tell him. Then,
he had to walk three miles to town
to answer that call,
“Don’t worry, I’ve already talked to bim. Just have the phone booth owner take you to him when you get
there.”
Before Amaleft, Peace told her again, “Remember, Anna, he’s really eccentric. And to be honest, he’s a
bit of a pain in the ass. If he
pisses you off, just ignore him.”
Anna opened the car door and said, “Okay, I get it. Many designers are eccentric. All right, please take
care of Tammy. Bye, I’m
oft”
“Well, bon voyage.”
Anna looked in the rear view mirror and saw Peace swinging around in an exaggerated way to say
goodbye to her. Anna laughed,
shook her head and called Peace a “psycho” in her mind.
