Chapter 68 Uncovering a Scam
“What's the matter?” Jennifer asked. “Did he not even introduce himself? How could he be so ungentlemanly.”
“No, I met the person at Country Hotel. His parents were with him. He said that his name is Timothy.” Rose put on a serious face.
Jennifer believed in every word of her granddaughter. “Timothy is also grandma Fan's grandson, but the son of her younger son. She introduced her eldest grandson named Mark, the child of her eldest son. And his parents seem to have passed away.”
Rose's apricot-like eyes widened, with her hair standing on end. She seemed to have guessed something.
“Grandma, press on the hands-free button. I have something to tell grandma Fan.” Rose stretched out her hand to Jennifer.
Jennifer gave the phone to Rose, and she clicked on the hands-free icon.
“Grandma Fan, I think we were all deceived.” Rose tried to clear her thoughts.
“What's the matter, the Linder family's granddaughter? How could we be deceived?” Sherry was a little confused when she heard this.
“You all listen to me.” Rose organized her words. “Grandma Fan, do you have a grandson named Timothy?”
“Yes. It’s just that this grandson can’t compare to Mark at all. He always thinks in crooked ways. I don’t like it.”
“Today I went to Country Hotel, but it was him who was there for my blind date, not your eldest grandson, Mark. I did not change the location to Four Seasons Hotel. If I was right, my parents and Timothy’s parents must have done this together. As for the purpose, I am temporarily unclear about it.”
It wasn’t that she was unclear, she just didn’t want to say it in fear of making her grandma sad and her grandma’s sickness worsen.
Her parents definitely didn't want her to marry the excellent grandson of the Fan family, Mark, so they asked Timothy to replace him.
Of course, Sophie wasn’t free of blame either. Otherwise, how could she appear at such a suitable time and scheme against her again.
Timothy was not a serious kid at first glance. His eyes were those of a pervert – he must be a Lothario!
Naturally, he would not refuse this kind of thing, and he would not suffer any loss if he could get one.
“It turned out to be like this?” The two grandmothers felt a sudden realization.
Then they were all angry again. “I’m going to deal with them.”
After the call was over, it was impossible for Jennifer not to be angry. The blind date she arranged was disturbed by her good son and daughter-in-law.
Jennifer squeezed the quilt with one hand and wanted to lift it but was stopped by Rose. “Grandma, your body is more important. It's okay for me to be wronged.”
“If you don't want me to find them, then tell them to come in.” Jennifer was definitely not going to let her be wronged. “You choose.”
Rose had no choice but to stand up and call Chandler and Joy because she didn’t want to trouble her grandma too much.
When Chandler and Joy came in, they didn't notice anything wrong.
“Mom, since you are in poor health, you should rest more. We can meet tomorrow if you want to chat.”
“Did you guys play a role in making Timothy, the spoiled grandson of the Fan family, have a blind date with Rose? Don’t you know what kind of man he is? What kind of parents are you that you were so cruel to your daughter?” Jennifer coughed twice as she spoke.
Rose handed over a glass of water while stroking her grandma's back to calm her.
“Mom, you misunderstood us. What's so good about Mark? He doesn't even have parents. How long can Mrs. Fan protect him? If Rose married him, I'm afraid she won't be able to compete for anything in the future. There is nothing wrong with Timothy. He just likes having fun, and the Fan family is going to fall into his hands one day. Rose would not endure hardship by following him. We are all thinking about Rose.”
“Then are you suggesting that I am too old that I can’t think clearly? I'm hurting Rose?”
“Mom, you shouldn’t say that. We are all doing it for Rose’s sake, but everyone's thoughts and choices are different.”
“You are really good at finding excuses. You think I wouldn’t know what the hell you are thinking? Stop fooling me around. From now on, no one is allowed to intervene in Rose’s blind dates. I won’t let you off if anyone of the two of you dare to!” Jennifer warned them sharply. “Leave, I don't want to see you.”
Jennifer tilted her head inward and closed her eyes.
What the couple did has made Jennifer bitterly disappointed.
Joy twitched her lips, turned and left.
Seeing that Jennifer was angry, Chandler stepped forward. “Mom, it’s your health that would get worse if you are angry. We really want Rose to have a good future.”
Jennifer grabbed the cup on the table and slammed it at Chandler. The cup hit his left shoulder and broke when it hit the ground.
“Roll—” Chandler squinted his eyes in pain. He didn’t expect his mother to be this furious.
He held onto his shoulders and walked away embarrassedly.
Rose sat down by the bed and stretched out her hand to caress her grandma's heaving chest. “Grandma, you promised to not be angry. If you get hurt because you were angry for my sake, what am I going to do?”
“Grandma is all right.” Jennifer leaned on the soft pillow and shook her head left and right. “As long as you give grandma a great-grandson, grandma won’t be angry anymore.”
Rose and Jennifer’s gaze met. The grandma and granddaughter looked at each other carefully and smiled.
“Grandma, would you be happy if I said you already have a great-granddaughter?” Rose followed Jennifer’s topic and shifted the focus to Doris.
She had always wanted to find a suitable time to tell her grandma, and she also wanted to slowly pave the way for her to be mentally prepared. But since they arrived at the topic today, she didn’t want to escape anymore.
She felt bad leaving Doris at Nora’s place. It used to be Jane and it was Nora, yet she couldn’t fulfill her responsibility of staying by Doris’ side as her mother. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
If Doris came back to this home, she didn’t need to be separated from her.
And she must tell her grandma about this matter personally. She couldn’t let her hear about Doris from other people.
When she returned to City H, she never thought about hiding Doris from her grandma.
“Of course, I would be happy, but you didn't even get married. Where is my great-granddaughter going to come from to make me happy?” Jennifer gave a disappointed smile.
“Grandma, I have a five-year-old daughter named Doris.” Rose was frank, looking very serious.
“…” Jennifer was stunned by her appearance, and then she shook her head. “Don't try to make me happy. Then tell me, who are you married to? Where is the child's father? Why are you only one back?”
“Grandma, Doris’ father is not there.” Rose picked up the phone, clicked on the phone's photo album, and selected the photos of Doris to show to Jennifer. “Grandma, this is your great granddaughter. Grandma, I'm sorry...”
