Chapter 35 To Visit Grandmother
“Of course,” Adele said without hesitation.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
She looked at Ben’s hesitant expression and suddenly realized that something was wrong. “What’s wrong? Are these gifts… inappropriate?” she asked hesitantly.
Ben hesitated for a moment and whispered, “I’m afraid that Old Madame won’t be able to use these things… Mr. Yusuf orders all these things every year, but Old Madame usually doesn’t use them…”.
Hearing what Ben said, Adele was stunned.
She had racked her brains to prepare so many things, but none of them were suitable for Old Madame.
Adele stood in the same place at a complete loss.
Damon walked forward. Hearing Ben say this, he frowned slightly. He reached out and took the gift boxes from Adele. He handed them to Ben and ordered, “Send them all in.”
Hearing this, Ben did not dare to say anything else. He immediately did as he was told. After he left, Damon said softly, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. Grandma will like whatever you give her.”
When Adele heard this, she lowered her head in disappointment. “If I had known earlier, I would have asked you. I didn’t expect Grandma not to need all these.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Damon pulled her and walked directly to the villa. “Don’t think about it. You will only know if she likes it or not when Grandma personally says it.”
Adele was pulled forward by him. For some reason, after hearing him comfort her a few times, the disappointment and worry in her heart actually dissipated a lot in an instant.
Walking into the living room, he was greeted by the servants at home.
“Young Master, you’re back!”
“Where is Grandma?” Damon glanced around the living room, but he did not see her.
“Old Madame is in the temple hall on the second floor. She will come down immediately.”
“Yes.” Damon nodded slightly, then pulled Adele to the sofa next to them and sat down.
Adele sat on the sofa, her whole body tense up, her hands clenched together, unconsciously nervous.
“Cough cough!”
A few coughs suddenly came from the stairs, followed by a voice, “Damon is back?”
“Grandma,” Damon immediately got up and walked in the direction of the stairs.
Before seeing her, she had first heard her voice. Adele did not dare to neglect and hurriedly followed.
She saw an elegant old woman slowly walking downstairs with the help of a servant. Although she was old, she was dressed in elegant and neat clothes, and her right hand was holding a string of green Buddha beads.
When she walked down the last step, Damon went up to support her. He asked in a slow voice, “Grandma, how are you lately?”
“I’m fine.” Grandma nodded and looked up slightly. When she saw Adele standing not far away, her eyes immediately lit up. “This is!”
“Adele, your granddaughter-in-law,” Damon said softly.
“Hello, Grandma.” Adele smiled at Grandma shyly.
“Hey! Come on! Let Grandma have a look!”
When Adele walked forward, Grandma had already reached out and held her hand. She looked at her and the smile on her face became more and more brilliant. “Good! Really good! It’s exactly the same as the photo! Your mother showed me your photo before, and I fell in love with you at a glance! I didn’t expect that the real person is better!”
Hearing Grandma’s praise, Adele blushed and whispered, “Grandma is too kind.”
Grandmother had completely ignored her own grandson and pulledAdele to the sofa.
When she saw the pile of gift boxes placed next to the sofa, she asked, “What are these…”
Adele followed her gaze and saw the pile of “gifts”. She explained helplessly, “Grandma, these were originally gifts that I brought to you. I only found out when I arrived at the door that there are all these things at home and there is no shortage of them at all. I was not considerate enough…”
Hearing her say this, Grandma patted the back of her hand and whispered, “No! I want to see what gifts you have chosen for me. Hurry up and show them to me!”
When Adele heard this, she was immediately overjoyed. She quickly picked up the massage button. “This black technology massage button is the most popular one on the Internet. It functions well and it is portable…”
Damon stood at the side and watched his grandmother and Adele seriously studying the functions of various products like children. He also unconsciously curled his lips.
Ben watched from the side for a long time and could not help but sigh, “Mr. Yusuf, I did not see Old Madame so interested in the various high-end massage buttons you bought for her.”
When Damon heard this, the smile on his face became cold. He glanced at him and did not answer. He walked straight to his grandmother and Adele.
“Damon, come and take a look. Adele bought this for me. It’s so fun!” Grandma waved at him when she saw him.
Damon cooperated and walked forward. Looking at the bright smile on his grandmother’s face, his mood also improved a lot. He did not expect that Adele could get along so well with his grandmother.
A servant came over and brought some tea. Grandma held Adele’s hand and stared at her. She said emotionally, “Adele, you are a good girl. It’s really a blessing for us Yusuf family that you could marry our Damon!”
“Grandma, thank you for your approval.” Adele was overjoyed when she heard what Grandma said.
“Hey, Adele, about this grandson of mine, although he looks calm and serious now, when he was a child, he was as mischievous as a monkey!”
“Grandma, is it true?” Adele turned to look at Damon and could not help but laugh out loud.
“Of course! When he was young, he had many tricks up his sleeves. One time, he fought with a child next door, and he was not convinced. He climbed up a tree to poke a hornet’s nest, and then throw it directly into the neighbor’s yard!”
Adele laughed so hard that tears were about to come out. She really did not know that Damon was so naughty when he was a child, completely different from now.
When he heard his grandmother talk about his childhood, the corners of Damon’s lips unconsciously curved up. Ever since he grew up, that carefree life had been very far away from him, but this time, it made him feel the long-lost happiness.
He looked up and saw that Adele, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, was laughing. Her eyes had narrowed into small crescent moons, and when she smiled, she revealed her shell-like teeth. They were warm and cute, making people unable to move their eyes away.
After talking about Damon’s childhood interesting stories, his grandmother was still holding Adele and refused to let go. “Oh right, Adele, come with me. I have something to give you.”
Seeing Grandmother suddenly become a little serious, Adele was a little nervous. She turned to look at Damon. Damon nodded at her, then she followed Grandmother to the second floor.
The villa was decorated in an antique style. Even the stairs on the second floor were decorated with mahogany and carved handrails. Adele accompanied her to the second floor and walked into a room.
“Adele, this is the first time we have met. As your grandmother, I should give you a greeting gift.”
As she spoke, she opened the drawer on the bedside table and took out a red cloth bag. She slowly opened the handkerchief and a silver bracelet was revealed.
“Adele, this is a greeting gift. Take it.”Grandmother handed the bracelet to her.
Adele was shocked and didn’t know what to do. This silver bracelet seemed to be a very precious thing to Grandmother. How could she accept it?
