Chapter 98 Do You Have Any Grudge Against Him?
Adele was stunned and casually said, “A friend…”
A cold light flashed through the bottom of Damon’s eyes. When Adele answered the phone just now, although he did not hear clearly, he could guess that the other party was a man. Coupled with Adele’s abnormal reaction, he was almost sure.
The man who was walking side by side with her at the entrance of the company the other time suddenly flashed through his mind. For some reason, his heart suddenly felt a little blocked.
Turning his head and glancing at the faint blush on the woman’s face, Damon’s hand holding the steering wheel slowly tightened a little.
He raised his eyebrows and asked in a cold voice, “Boyfriend?”
Even he himself did not notice that there was a clear hint of impatience in his tone.
“No…”
As if she had been exposed, Adele blushed and hurriedly denied.
Owen was just a friend now, not like what he said…
The man beside her seemed to snort coldly. His voice was low and deep, with some invisible deterrence, “You are not allowed to have one.”
Adele was shocked and thought that she had heard wrong. “What?”
Without waiting for his answer for a long time, she turned her head and looked at the man’s straight nose and tight chin. She saw him turning the steering wheel with one hand, his movements skilled and unrestrained.
Adele took a deep breath, her gaze lingering on his body, unable to move away.
Noticing the burning gaze of the woman beside him, Damon turned his head slightly and glanced at her indifferently. “Haven’t you seen enough?”
Adele paused and suddenly reacted. She hurriedly shifted her gaze away, her face burning and hot as she denied angrily, “Who’s looking at you…”
Not long after, the car arrived at Yusuf Family’s grand residence. As soon as it stopped, Adele immediately pushed open the door and got out of the car.
She patted her cheeks, took a few deep breaths, and sobered up a little. Only then did she walk towards the door with Damon.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
As soon as she entered, Adele saw Old Madame sitting on the sofa.
Old Madame heard the sound and looked up. When she saw Adele, her eyes lit up and she stood up in surprise. “Adele, why are you here…?”
When she saw Damon beside Adele, she was even more puzzled.
“Grandma, I heard that you are sick, so I came to see you,” Adele said.
Compared to the last time they met, Old Madame had lost a lot of weight. In just a few days, she felt that her mental state was not as good as before.
“Adele, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry…” Old Madame held her hand and was touched.
“As long as you come to see me more often, I’ll be fine…”
Old Madame pulled Adele to sit down and ordered the servants to prepare fruits and tea, completely leaving his own grandson Damon to the side.
Adele looked at Damon who was still standing at the side and said hesitantly, “Grandma, don’t be angry…”
As long as she was angry, it would definitely not be good for her health. Adele raised her hand and gently patted Old Madame’s back, gently persuading her.
“Adele, you don’t have to speak for him!” Old Madame glanced at Damon and snorted angrily. “I will just pretend that I don’t have a grandson like him!”
Adele looked up at the silent Damon. She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth. “Grandma, don’t be angry. Damon has already apologized to me. I… I will try to give him a second chance…”
Whether it was the truth or a lie, she had to conceal the reality. She couldn’t just watch Old Madame get angry.
When she heard Adele say this, Old Madame’s eyes lit up. She looked at her and then looked up at Damon. “You mean… you can get married again?”
“Yes, Grandma. We will give each other another chance.” Adele forced out a smile.
“Yes… yes! Adele, it is right that you can think like this!” Old Madame finally had a smile.
In this way, Old Madame’s attitude towards Damon also eased a lot. When it was almost time, she immediately ordered the servants to prepare dinner.
“Adele, I have specially ordered the chef to make what you like!”
Looking at the table full of dishes that she liked, Adele felt warm in her heart. She quickly picked up a piece of fish for Grandma with the spare chopsticks. “Grandma, have some fish!”
“Okay!” Old Madame was full of joy and repeatedly responded.
Suddenly, Damon picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece of ribs, and put it on Adele’s plate.
Adele was stunned and did not react.
Since she knew Damon, he had never picked up food for her, nor had he done such intimate actions. But now, he suddenly picked up food for her. Was he acting in front of his grandmother?
“Eat more.”
The man’s deep voice sounded in her ears. It was so pleasant that she had goosebumps all over her body. She unconsciously blushed and nodded slowly.
Old Madame, who was at the side, saw the movements and reactions of the two of them. A smile appeared in her eyes as she looked at Adele. No matter how she looked at her, she was satisfied.
After dinner, the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before. Seeing that it was almost time, Damon suggested that they should go.
Before leaving, Old Madame was reluctant to let go of Adele’s hand.
Looking at the tears in Old Madame’s eyes, Adele also felt a little sad, “Grandma, don’t worry, I will come to see you often.”
Old Madame nodded and hugged Adele. Finally, she was willing to let go.
On the way back, there was silence in the carriage. When Adele thought of the look in Old Madame’s eyes, she felt bad.
She took a deep breath and said softly, “I think… we shouldn’t lie to Grandma.”
When Damon heard this, he was silent for a moment and said, “Recently, she has not been in a good health condition. So we need to stabilize her first. For now, we need to hide the truth and deal with other related matters later.”
Old people were vulnerable. He knew best that he could only coax her first. There was no better way.
When Adele heard this, she could only give up, but she was still unhappy and refused to speak.
Damon looked up and looked at the woman’s expression through the rearview mirror. His mood was a little complicated.
“Right.” Damon seemed to have thought of something. He furrowed his brows and instructed in a deep voice, “This week, you have to be more careful when you work under Frank. Don’t get entangled with him other than work. If necessary, call me. Do you understand?”
Frank was a cunning old fox. At present, even he had not figured out what he was planning, let alone a little white rabbit like Adele.
As soon as Frank was mentioned, the man’s sharp eyes appeared in Adele’s mind. She could not help but feel a chill at the back of her head. She asked tentatively, “Do you have any grudge against him?”
