Chapter 213 Accompanying Grandma on a Trip
The next morning, Adele got up early and changed into a slim yellow shirt dress, casual white shoes, and went out after a bag.
She deliberately went out for more than half an hour, took a detour to buy the Beijing style cake that her grandmother liked to eat, and then took the subway directly to the ecological park.
Not long after she arrived at the gate of the ecological park, a black car drove over and stopped in front of Adele.
The door was pushed open, and her grandmother excitedly poked her head out and waved to Adele, “Adele!”
Adele replied with a sweet smile. He hurriedly went up to her and helped her out of the car.
“I’ve been holding it in for a long time. I feel much better when I see you!”
Grandma got out of the car and kept talking while holding Adele’s hand. The door on the other side of the car was pushed open. A tall man dressed in a bodyguard walked over and said respectfully to Old Madame, “Old Madame, do you need a wheelchair?”
Grandma’s face sank when she heard that. She waved at him and said, “It’s not easy to come out for a walk. What wheelchair? With Adele here, don’t follow me.”
The bodyguard frowned and said with some difficulty, “Mr. Yusuf specially ordered me to ensure your safety.”
“With Adele accompanying me, there will be no problem. Don’t follow me. It’s rare for me to be in a better mood.”
The bodyguard saw that he could not persuade her, so he agreed and no longer followed her.
After a few steps, Grandma could not help but snort coldly, “This is the bodyguard that Damon found for me. He is tall and strong, but his temper is like a stone. He is very stuffy. This can’t be done, that can’t be done, that’s boring!”
Seeing his grandmother complaining like a child, Adele couldn’t help but smile and persuade her, “They are also doing this for your own good. Today, I will accompany you and have a good time.”
When her grandmother heard this, she tightened her grip on Adele and gently patted the back of her hand. She smiled and said, “You are so considerate and understand me!”
Walking into the ecological garden, what greeted her eyes was a large green lawn with different sculptures and small pavilions.
The weather was very good today. The sky was clear and many children were flying kites on the lawn. Looking from afar, it was very pleasant.
Adele and Grandma chatted as they walked. The atmosphere was harmonious.
Grandma looked at the children playing games over there, and her eyes were curved into crescent moons. She pointed to the other side and motioned for Adele to look. “Look, a group of children, many people like them!”
“People are old! They just like to see things with morning air and also like children. If you and Damon can…”
As Grandma spoke, she unconsciously pulled on Adele and Damon. Before she finished speaking, she felt that it was inappropriate and immediately stopped talking.
Adele, who was at the side, heard her say this. The smile on his face froze, and he did not know why his heart felt a little sour.
Speaking of children, she once had a child with Damon, that short life…
Seeing that Adele looked a little disappointed, Grandma hurriedly said, “Let’s not talk about it anymore. It’s my fault. I always bring up the past…”
“Grandma, it’s okay.” Adele smiled faintly and said softly.
Grandma stroked her hand when she heard this. She slowly walked forward and said softly, “Actually, I like you very much and want Damon to reconcile with you. However, Grandma respects your choice. Even if you don’t get along with Damon and revive, I will still be your grandma.”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Old Madame’s words made Adele’s nose sour and moved.
She did not expect that her grandmother had always regarded her as a relative.
She took a deep breath and pulled out a smile. She smiled at her and said, “Grandma, I will always be with you. Damon will not disappoint you. He has someone he wants to protect. I will respect his choice.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her grandmother’s expression changed. She paused for a moment, as if trying to figure out the meaning of her words. Then she asked, “You mean… Damon has someone he likes?”
When Adele heard her grandmother ask this, she suddenly realized that perhaps her grandmother did not know about Clara at all, but she had accidentally revealed it just now!
“I…”
“Really? Adele, you know about it, right?”
After being asked several times, Adele hesitated and did not know how to answer. Facing her grandmother’s eyes, she could only nod and say softly, “Yes, he has someone he likes…”
Clara was the first woman that Damon had openly brought into the company. He was also the one who was willing to pay the price of marriage to find a kidney for her. It could be seen just how important Clara was to him.
Although she also knew that Damon had a female star, Isabella, there was no doubt that Clara was definitely the one he cared about the most.
“Adele, tell me, who is the person that Damon likes?” Grandma pulled Adele and asked excitedly.
At this critical juncture, even if Adele wanted to lie, he could not make it up. Facing Grandma’s probing eyes, she took a deep breath and said word by word, “Her name is Clara…”
When she heard the words “Clara”, Grandma was shocked and stunned. After a few seconds, the expression in her eyes became more complicated.
“It’s her.”
Hearing Grandma say this, Adele finally reacted.
It seemed that Grandma knew Clara.
Her curiosity towards Clara suddenly deepened.
Grandma pulled Adele and slowly walked forward. She seemed to be hesitating about something and did not speak for a long time. In the end, she sighed and said, “No wonder.”
As she spoke, she turned slightly to look at Adele beside her and whispered, “You probably don’t know the relationship between Damon and Clara, right?”
Adele paused for half a second and shook his head.
“Previously, the Ye family had a good relationship with our Yusuf family, and the two children were close. Later, Damon’s biological mother passed away, and his father took He Shuping and Kobei into the house. Damon had always hated them. During the most painful period of time, Clara spent with him, so…”
As for the rest, even if Grandma did not say it, Adele could guess it.
No wonder Clara was so important to Damon. It turned out that they were not only childhood sweethearts, but also experienced so many things together…
Adele’s heart sank, and she felt inexplicably uncomfortable. After a moment, she laughed at herself and whispered, “Childhood sweethearts, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. They are really a good match.”
“I don’t like her,” Grandma said without hesitation.
Adele turned to look at her in surprise and couldn’t help but ask, “Why?”
Clara was fresh and pleasant, and she was the type that was very likable in front of the elders.
Grandma shook her head and said with certainty, “That girl is not simple. There is also the Ye family. All of them are not good people. People with too deep thoughts are not worth dating.”
Adele was stunned and did not speak for a long time.
Grandma patted the back of her hand and said softly, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Adele, let’s go to the lake to take a look…”
Adele came back to her senses and saw the artificial lake not far away. She smiled faintly and helped Grandma walk over.
After walking around the lake for half a round, Grandma was so hot that she was sweating. Adele took her to a bench under the shade of a tree and helped her sit down.
“Grandma, these are the pastries I bought. They are all low-sugar. You can have some first. I will go there to buy two bottles of water. You can wait here for a while, okay?”
Grandma nodded obediently and wiped her sweat. She smiled at her and said, “Okay, you go. I will wait for you.”
Seeing this, Adele smiled in peace and walked toward the place where the water was sold.
She did not notice that there were two people behind the rockery not far away, staring at them motionlessly.
