Avenger's coming back

Chapter 161 A Call From Grandpa

It meant that they still remembered her. Otherwise, how could Eric find them by himself? And from his words, it could be seen that he kept in touch with the Sun family for a long time.

With this in mind, Angela felt that her chest was blocked severely, and her throat was a little tight. Tears fell down from her cheeks subconsciously.

Seeing her tears, Eric immediately stopped and reached out to wipe away the tears on her face. "Mom, if you're sad, I won't continue."

"No." With sobs, Angela said, "Go on, please go on."

"Okay." Eric smiled and continued, "Besides, brother is a capable man with his own career. He has done a lot for me. He helped me a lot. The reason why I could realize it, he gave me a lot of points. The most important thing is that once the girl was almost hit, he saved her, otherwise she wouldn't have been…"

He stopped now. Although he did not see the scene at that time, according to Noble's description, Lily would have been raped if he had not been there in time.

Seeing that he stopped suddenly and looked a little weird, Angela patted her son's hand as if to comfort him. It turned out that what he had experienced with Lily was far more than she knew. He was always together with Lily, no matter what he did and said. That was just the way they spent.

Just then, Lily came out with the dish she had prepared. She didn't notice the difference between them, so she put the dish plate on the table.

"Dinner is ready." She said with a smile.

Holding back his surprise, Eric smiled and said, "Okay." Then he glanced at Angela and let go of her hand. "I'll help you with the dishes."

Then he stood up and went to the kitchen.

There was a deep gratification in Angela's eyes. She looked at Lily in an unusual way.

"Aunt, take a seat first. We put the dishes out and then we can eat." Lily said with a smile. She didn't realize that Angela was looking at her with great affection.

"Okay." Angela nodded.

The dishes were simple: a cucumber salad, stewed with tomato and beef brisket, and vegetable dishes.

As all the dishes were served on the table, Lily put the porridge in front of Angela and said, "Aunt, you haven't eaten anything these two days. Have some porridge first. It is good for your stomach."

"Okay." Angela smiled and took it, but her eyes were still fixed on Lily.

"What's wrong, aunt? Is there anything dirty on my face?" Lily asked as Angela was looking at her in a strange way.

"No." Angela shook her head and said, "Tina taught you very well. You knows everything well at such a young age."

Hearing that, Lily was a little embarrassed. She said, "My mom once said that I should rely on myself rather than anyone else."

With a touch of dismay on her face, Angela sighed, "Yes, it's better to depend on yourself than anyone else."

"Mom, it must be the first time that you eat her cooks. She's a good cook." Eric deliberately changed the topic. As he said, he picked up a brisket and fed it to her mouth. "Have a taste."

Angela had the beef tenderloin fed by her son, nodded and said, "Well, it's really good."

A touch of shyness flashed across Lily's face. She didn't know how to answer other people's compliments.

They finished the meal peacefully.

After the meal, Eric volunteered to do the dishes and cleaned the kitchen, and Lily accompanied Angela.

"Lily." Angela called Lily.

"What's wrong?" Lily turned to look at her.

Angela reached out and held her hand, and said earnestly and kindly, "Eric has just told me all of your things, and I don't expect you to have gone through so many things. I thought that I had been very brave and grand for the sake of love at the beginning, but now I realize that it is not one tenth of your life. Anyway, I have decided you're my daughter-in-law."

"Aunt..." Lily was moved and couldn't find words to say for a while.

"If one day he do such a thing to you, I would definitely kick him out of my family!" Continued Angela.

Lily was worried when she heard her words. She held her hand and said, "Auntie, I believe that Eric isn't that kind of person. I believe in him."

"Don't be so anxious, child. I'm just talking about a hypothetical question. And I'm backed up for you."

"Mom, it's so unfair." At this time, Eric went out of the kitchen. He had just cleaned up the kitchen, but his hands were still wet. He walked directly to Angela and Lily and sat down between them, separating

them. Looking at his mother with dissatisfaction, he said, "I'm your son, okay? You shouldn't support others."

Hearing that, Angela was in a much better mood than before. Seeing that Eric was joking with her, she said jokingly, "Just because you are my son, I have to support my daughter-in-law. What if you always bully Lily?"

"It's good that she didn't bully me. How could I bully her..." His phone rang even before he finished his words.

Since the bell was purposely set, he couldn't help but give a glance at Angela. Hesitation appeared on his face.

"Why didn't you answer it?" Seeing that he didn't intend to answer the phone, Angela asked with confusion.

At the same time, Lily also looked at him a little weirdly, and the next moment she understood. It might be the call from the Sun family, or he wouldn't be unable to answer it.

"Mom, this call..." Looking at her, Eric swallowed his saliva subconsciously, but he felt it necessary to make the matter clear to her. "It's my grandpa."

Hearing this, Angela was stunned. It seemed that she didn't expect that her father would call Eric.

The telephone kept ringing. Seeing the expression of Angela, Eric did not dare to answer the phone in front of him, fearing that what he said later would stimulate her. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Although he just told her about his relationship with Sherry and Noble, he didn't mention anything related to his grandfather. Perhaps his brother had called grandpa to confirm that he agreed to take over the family business.

The phone kept ringing until it stopped. But Eric didn't answer it, because he wasn't sure whether he would irritate her if he answered the phone in front of Angela.

As soon as the phone stopped, Angela recovered from the shock. She took a deep breath and gathered all her courage. She turned to Eric and said, "To Grandpa… Give back a call."

Hearing that, a relieved smile appeared on Eric's face. He reached out and hugged Angela, as if both grateful and encouraging. Then he loosened his hand, and then took out his mobile phone and called back.

Looking at her son dial out the phone, Angela was both expectant and anxious, head bowed and hands clasped.

Lily just sat there quietly, watching the two people's action. Seeing that Angela, she stood up, walked to her and sat down, holding her hand to comfort her anxiety.

The call didn't get through immediately. Eric looked at his mother while waiting for her to pick up. Finally, the phone was connected when it was about to hang up automatically.

"Hello." The voice from the phone sounded dignified.

"Grandfather, this is Eric." When he said this, he looked subconsciously in the direction of Angela.

"As for your decision, Noble has told me. Do you really plan to take over the business?"

"Yes." Eric nodded and tightened his grip on his phone.

"Then go back and have the new year together,"

"I'll try." Eric looked in the direction of Angela again and seemed to think of something. He immediately said, "Grandpa, I want to talk with Mom about this matter..."

"I don't care what you are going to do with her." He was interrupted, "The new year's day. You must come back!"

Slap!

Then he hung up the phone.

Eric was in a daze for a second and then frowned his eyebrows subconsciously.

"Eric..." Angela wanted to say something, but she didn't know.

Looking at his mother, Eric felt sorry for her. He knew that his mother wanted to talk to his grandfather, and the expectation in her eyes was quite obvious.

However, grandpa was stubborn and hung up the phone immediately when he heard the word "mother". Even though he was so decisive, he still called her name when he was very sick.

"Grandpa was hanging up." His voice was full of pity. Eric moved the phone away from his ear.

Angela pursed her lips and disappointment appeared in her eyes.

Seeing that she was disappointed, Eric said, "Mom, in fact, grandpa has always wanted to see you."

"Really?" Hearing this, Angela looked at Eric hopefully.

"Yes." Eric nodded, "Last time, when my grandpa was critically ill, he kept calling your name."

Hearing the word of critically ill, Angela immediately became nervous. "Is he seriously ill? When did it happen?"

"About a month ago." He answered, "At that time, the company was facing the cooperation with AF Company, and my grandfather, who was critically ill, wanted to see me. I rushed back to G city

overnight, secretly asking brother to help me with the company affairs."

Angela knew that AF Company deceived. Since she hadn't seen Eric for several days, she had thought that he was busy with his work in the company, but she didn't expect that it wasn't true.

"Then… How is he now?" She sobbed.

"He's fine now. But mom, there's one more thing I need to tell you." With these words, Eric gave her a careful look.

Angela frowned. She knew it must have something to do with the phone call, so she asked, "Have you promised anything to Grandpa?"

"Yes." Eric nodded. His mother was always smart, so she came to the point all at once.
