Chapter 177
Ruby always felt that the little guy looked familiar, but now she finally remembered—this was the champion of the Go game, a genius child! No wonder he was different from other children!
The old man directly shouted back, "Who dares not? You let him answer the phone, and I'll tell him!"
The bodyguards, who were standing by the side, could hear the Old Master's voice and refused him in their hearts. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"Uncle, Great-grandfather asked you to answer the phone." Caden stood on tiptoe and handed the phone to the bodyguard. She also winked at Lucy.
Lucy gave him two thumbs up, his face full of admiration.
With a twisted face, the bodyguard held the phone with both hands and said in a trembling voice, "Hello... hello."
"Who allowed you to restrict my granddaughter-in-law's freedom? You are breaking the law!" Even on the phone, the old man was still aggressive.
The bodyguard wiped the cold sweat on his head. "I... Young Master asked me to watch over Young Madam with a few other people. He asked her to take good care of the baby."
"I won't let you watch. I'm not asking you to lock me up. Let's go now!" The old man said.
"But..."
"But what is it? You're just a man! Now I order you to escort my granddaughter-in-law and great- granddaughter-in-law to the old house immediately. They haven't arrived in 40 minutes. I'll pick them up personally!" After the old man finished speaking, he hung up the phone in a handsome manner.
The bodyguard looked at his mobile phone in despair and said, "Young Madam, I'll report it to Young Master first and then send you there."
"If I were you, I would never report to Arthur." Lucy smiled slightly. "Grandpa is the head of the family, and Arthur is your master. You have to listen to both sides. But when Arthur has different opinions from Grandpa, who do you listen to? You might as well not make this call. If Arthur blames you, you can still use grandpa as your protective umbrella!"
"Mommy's logic is very clear. She deserves the title of the most powerful woman in the world!" Caden clapped very cooperatively.
Lucy was amused. "Why didn't I know that I had this title?"
She was in a good mood when she was with her son!
"Now you have it." Caden blinked a few times.
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment, and then used Lucy's suggestion to send the mother and daughter to the old house safe and sound.
The old man had something to say to Lucy, so he asked the little fellow to leave.
"I'll pay my respects to grandpa in the early years first." Lucy bowed respectfully and then sat on the sofa under the Old Master's instruction.
"You're not as unruly as your mother-in-law said." The old man took a sip of tea and put the teacup on the table. "How is your relationship recently?"
"Are you going to listen to lies or the truth?" Lucy asked.
The old man laughed and said, "Then let's listen to it."
"The lie is that our husband and wife are harmonious, happy, and happy. They can be called a couple of immortals." Lucy paused for a moment and said, "As for the truth, I won't tell you. You should know, right?"
She didn't want to tell the old master how miserable she was right now. Acting pitiful wasn't her style... Even though it was truly tragic!
"The little girl's words are a little interesting!" The old man knocked on his cane twice on the ground. "Your mother-in-law took Elyse to Lindbarry Chateau on her own accord and made trouble for your husband and wife. Why didn't you take the opportunity to complain to me?"
"I don't have the habit of complaining." It was actually arranged by his mother-in-law? Lucy was stunned for a moment, but his heart still felt uncomfortable. No matter what, the relationship between Arthur and Elyse was real. No one forced him to do such a thing!
Hearing this answer, the old man was a little surprised. "You are different from others!"
It was unknown how many people in the Johnson family wanted to hold him in their arms.
The corners of Lucy's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything. So what if he was complaining? The lordmaster wouldn't help her vent her anger, and he might even hate her because of this. It was better if he didn't say anything!
"Both of Caden's children are yours. Even if he keeps Elyse at home, it won't affect your status as his legal wife. One day, when Caden wants Elyse to be Mrs. Johnson, I will be the first to break his legs!" It was common for a rich young master to have a few confidantes. There was nothing to be surprised about!
Lucy lowered his gaze and replied with a 'hmm'.
If Caden's identity hadn't been exposed, and if her second pregnancy hadn't been exposed, she would definitely try her best to find a way to leave Arthur!
But now... she couldn't leave the two kids to a stepmother like Elyse!
The old tutor was very satisfied with her sensibleness and added, "If you suffer any grievance in the future, just tell me and I'll back you up!"
It was rare for him to meet a junior with such a good appetite!
"Then I'll thank Grandpa first." Lucy didn't stand on ceremony. "I don't want to stay in the Lindbarry Chateau and watch Arthur and Elyse get tired of each other. I want to stay in the old house for a while."
"Caden did do this." The old man did not agree. A lover was a lover. How could a lover live with a legal
wife?
He waved his hand and called the old housekeeper over. "Leo, you arrange for two people to clean up a room. The layout of the room... I don't know what young people like to do now. Ask Lucy how the room is arranged. She can do as she says."
"Okay." The old butler responded and said to Lucy, "I'll arrange for someone to clean the room first, and then you can tell them how to arrange the room. Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, thank you, Leo." Lucy said.
...
The next day was New Year's Eve.
The Johnson family was more particular about the Spring Festival and had a lot of things to prepare. From the masters to the servants, they were all busy from morning to night. They didn't even have time to eat.
Lucy sat with the old man in the hall for the whole morning. He saw more than 20 groups of guests, all of whom were either rich or noble. They were all well-known.
The social activities were too tiring. She did not go to the hall in the afternoon, but stayed in the room to learn the Magic Cube from her son.
According to his son, the Magic Cube should be intelligent, and the development of intelligence should start with the fetus!
"Young Madam, it's time for you to change your clothes and dress up. You should prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner." A servant came in, followed by a styling team.
Lucy replied with a 'hmm' and allowed these people to do whatever they wanted to her.
She did it for three whole hours. When her neck was stiff, she finished the style and went to the restaurant with the little fellow.
"You're Caden's wife, aren't you? You're so beautiful, like a fairy from heaven!"
"I've long heard that my cousin-in-law is beautiful. It's better to see her than to hear about her!"
"It's true, isn't it? Why didn't Caden come with you?"
A group of people had long been seated in the dining room. When they saw Lucy, their faces revealed a perfect smile. They were either hypocritical and flattering, or hiding a blade in their smiles.
Lucy answered them one by one with ease. However, she didn't like this type of occasion at all. The new year was supposed to be the end of Tuan Tuan's life, but here, she couldn't feel the slightest bit of homely atmosphere.
"Oh, cousin is here!" Suddenly, someone said, and everyone looked at the door.
Arthur was wearing a straight suit, and his shirt was tied to the top. His handsome face was expressionless, and there was a sense of restraint everywhere.
Beside him, Ruby was wearing a short white evening dress and happily holding his arm. Her eyes glanced at Lucy, and she seemed to be a little proud.
