Chapter 510: Grandma Lyon Injured Her Back
After settling Grandma Lyon, Sonia rushed out.
“Jared, wait a moment!”
Jared was about to get into the car when he heard someone calling him from behind. Turning around, he asked, “What is it?”
Sonia tucked a stray hair behind her ear. “Jared, I haven’t had the chance to have a proper chat with you. Can we talk the day after tomorrow night?”
Jared narrowed his eyes. “I’m not sure what you want to talk about, Mrs. Johnson?”
He called her Mrs. Johnson because she had previously been married to a man named Johnson.
Sonia paused for a few seconds, unaccustomed to being called Mrs. Johnson after so long. It took her a moment to recover.
She chuckled awkwardly. “Silly boy, just call me Sonia. I just want to talk about your mother, my only sister.”
Jared gazed deeply at Sonia, his eyes unreadable in the dim light.
After a moment, he spoke in a low voice, “See you the day after tomorrow.”
Sonia then pulled something out of her pocket and handed it to Jared without explanation, before heading back to the Lyon family.
In the car, Tina sniffed the item.
It was an antidote to a love potion!
“Why did she give you this?” Tina was puzzled.
Could it be that Sonia, as a member of the Lyon family, didn’t want Grace to marry Jared?
Jared chuckled. “Probably, she wants to owe me a favor.”
Tina nodded in understanding. “So, will you accept this favor?”
“Yes,” Jared pulled Tina into his arms, rubbing her shoulder. “It would be less fun not to, especially since I need to keep ties with the Lyon family during this time.”
Jared had come to Clearwater on a mission, involving the Lyon family to disguise his true purpose.
It was necessary to entangle himself with the Lyon family to better mask his actions.
Now with the enemy in the dark and himself exposed, he had to tread carefully.
This was also why Jared had agreed to have dinner with Grace, arranged by Grandma Lyon, as part of his mission.
Grace was a key figure in his assignment and needed to be utilized effectively.
Tina half-reclined in Jared’s arms, watching his expression change.
Indeed, his face was full of cunning.
“Uncle, what are you thinking about?”
Jared snapped back to reality, pinched Tina’s cheek gently, and said deliberately, “I’m thinking about how to serve you tonight to your satisfaction.”
Suddenly, Nathan braked hard, nearly throwing himself out of the driver’s seat!
“Sorry, Mr. Farrell, there was a cat crossing the road just now.”
My goodness, are Mr. Farrell and his wife discussing such spicy topics now?
Is this a mission or a honeymoon?
Hayden, I want to switch tasks with you. I’m willing to guard Paula White’s bomb base, even if it kills me!
Hayden: Busy, do not disturb.
Nathan quietly started the car, silently lowering the partition in the middle.
Perhaps, he thought, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for Brandon to arrange another driver for his wife.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Tina’s earlobes turned red; she had only been teasing, poking fun at Stephanie.
Who would have thought he would actually take her seriously?
Jared looked at the blushing face on his lap, moved, he leaned down and kissed her flushed cheeks.
Brookes family.
“You mean that Tina person has come to Clearwater?” Rachel was having dinner when she heard a servant discussing Mrs. Smith being transferred.
The servant nodded. “Yes, Miss Reed has arrived. Master Brandon said she’s quite busy and might not visit, so we shouldn’t prepare or disturb her.”
Rachel gripped her chopsticks tightly. After so many years in the Brookes family, she hardly felt valued by her brothers.
She was actually held in high regard by so many people! Yesterday, when she called Grandpa Brookes to greet him, she was all he talked about. It was truly annoying! Rachel nearly crushed her chopsticks in frustration, pausing for a moment before regaining her composure and smiling, “Since Tina is here, I definitely need to visit her. When you have time, ask Brandon where she is staying.”
Early the next morning, Jared received a call from Stephanie. “Jared, it’s terrible, grandma hurt her back because of the tea incident yesterday, and now she can’t get out of bed. What should we do?” Stephanie cried breathlessly, making it sound like Grandma Lyon was about to be cremated to those unaware of the real situation. Jared turned over in bed, missing the immediate embrace of his beloved Tina from yesterday, which only added to his gloom.
Mrs. Smith was efficient in everything, having managed to tidy up her room in just one day. He didn’t mind sharing the large two-meter-eight bed with Tina. Tina: No, thank you! Jared: No, you can’t bear it!
Seeing that Jared had remained silent, Stephanie grew even more anxious, “Brother, are you listening to me? I’m really worried. The doctor said grandma might end up paralyzed in bed, and it’s all Tina’s fault.” “Stephanie Lyon, Tina is not for you to call,” Jared responded, using her full name, which left Stephanie momentarily stunned. They had always been close, and it was the first time he addressed her so formally and sternly, all because of Tina!
This made Stephanie even more frustrated. Oliver then took the phone, “Jared, this is Oliver. Grandma’s condition is indeed because of Tina. We all know she’s the head of the household, but still, she’s an elder, and you can’t treat an old person like this, right? She’s a well-known figure, and if word gets out, it won’t sound good. What do you think?”
Jared sat up from the bed, “So, are you threatening me?” “That’s not what I mean. You don’t have to visit since you have more important things to handle. The Hancock family’s daughter has already made arrangements; it wouldn’t be right to stand her up. Just make sure Tina takes care of it. I heard she has a Spectre bracelet and even gave one to your grandfather. I was wondering if there’s another one for your grandmother to use, so outsiders can’t talk.”
Jared smiled faintly; the Lyon family really was interesting. Was this their way of keeping Tina from causing trouble at the restaurant by giving her an excuse to stay put? Jared got up from the bed and knocked on Tina’s door, then pushed it open. Tina was still lying in bed. Hearing the noise, she sleepily sat up and kissed Jared on the lips. The sound clearly transmitted to all the Lyon family members through the speaker.
Oliver frowned, “Jared, make sure Tina gets my message. If she doesn’t come, I can’t guarantee what might happen.” With that, Oliver hung up the phone. Tina leaned on Jared’s shoulder, rubbing her sleepy eyes, “What’s up?” Jared slowly stroked her hair as he repeated Oliver’s words. Tina perked up immediately, a sly smile forming on her lips, “I love taking care of patients.”
Seeing Tina’s expression, Jared could only imagine what interesting events would unfold in the Lyon family today. He gently tickled her nose, “Hmm, you’re the best at taking care of patients.”
