Chapter 2321
After the family of three had their breakfast, Bert also came over.
Juliet ran over happily when she saw her grandfather.
"Grandpa, you're back."
"Oh my! My little darling." Bert squatted down and hugged Juliet. "Little girl, you've grown fat."
"Ah..." Juliet was stunned for a moment. "Grandpa, don't scare me. I've always paid attention to my figure. I haven't eaten much these days."
Juliet tensed up. She didn't want to get fat as it would be hard to lose weight.
Bert naturally knew what his darling granddaughter was thinking.
He smiled dotingly. "Baby, you're not fat at all. You're beautiful even if you've gotten a little bigger."
Juliet complained in a disappointed tone, "That means that I've gotten fat."
"You're not fat!" Bert regretted his words. Children who were a little rounder were good-looking, and their little round faces were even more adorable.
Alice stood to the side and grinned. The grandfather and granddaughter pair had to play like this for a while every time they met.
"Dad, have you had breakfast?"
Only then did Bert stand up. When he saw Henrick behind his daughter, his expression darkened. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Henrick was speechless. His father-in-law was still angry.
What should he do?
"Nice to meet you, Uncle Klein!" He greeted with a smile.
"Hmph!" Bert snorted. "I really don't want to see you."
Henrick lowered his head, looking as if he had done something wrong. He had always pretended to be innocent, but at that moment, he lowered his head and looked extremely aggrieved.
Bert was even angrier.
"Boy, you have some conscience. The things on the Internet have been suppressed, but what are you going to do in the future? Do you want to continue to come to my house and play rogue?"
"Ah... Rogue?" Henrick was perplexed. How did he become a rogue?
"Uncle Klein, I'm not a rogue. I really like Allie." Henrick was afraid that Bert would drive him away.
Given Bert's personality, it was definitely possible. His personality was the same as his father's, unpredictable. Furthermore, Bert looked down on his future son-in-law. With Bert around, he felt like there was no end in sight.
"Hmph! What right do you have to like her? Have you not seen how terrible criticisms and curses are online?" Bert was also too prideful to lower himself to allow Henrick to marry Alice.
Of course, he definitely couldn't say something like that. He couldn't bear to marry his daughter off.
However, Alice had been trapped by Henrick, and would be so for the rest of her life. His heart ached for her, but he had no other choice.
After observing for a long time, Bert found that this guy was sincere.
"Dad." Alice also knew that it was not anyone's fault. They couldn't control what others said. It was enough for them to live a good life.
"Alice, don't say anything." Bert looked at his daughter with distress. "Why should he let you suffer?"
"Uncle Klein, I'm sorry!" Henrick lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.
Bert glanced at him and sighed deeply. Henrick had a good character and a good family background. He was just childish, immature and somewhat of a mama's boy. He was spoiled and also had Victor's arrogance and pride.
When Bert counted, he found that there were many problems with Henrick. He was not worthy of his precious daughter at all.
At that moment, Henrick was quite well-behaved.
Bert asked, "Henrick, are you willing to be a live-in son-in-law?"
Henrick looked up at Bert and nodded. "Uncle Klein, I'm willing. When I came to Lemmon City, I had already told my parents that I may be a live-in son-in-law."
Bert was lost for words. It was too embarrassing. Why did Henrick say such a thing in the first place?
It was as if Henrick was definitely going to marry his daughter.
"Dad." Alice looked at her father. Why did he say that?
Bert looked a little embarrassed. Wasn't he just aggravated by what had happened the night before?
"Allie, I am willing, and my parents will also agree. I know you don't want to leave Lemmon City, nor do you want to leave Uncle Klein. I don't want you to have to travel back and forth with me."
"Thus, Allie, I'm willing to be a live-in son-in-law," Henrick said sincerely.
Alice looked at him and her heart kept pounding.
The best love was being regarded as one's whole world. Henrick was willing to give up everything for her and accompany her without hesitation.
She was captivated and lost her sense of reason by Henrick's behavior.
Bert said, "I don't necessarily want you to be my son-in-law. If you really marry Alice, you'll have to please both sides. With your father's arrogant character, I'm afraid he won't be willing to let you come. Let's both take a step back. This matter can be discussed."
Alice blinked her eyes and looked at her father in disbelief. The two families hadn't even sat down and talked yet, but why did her father say that? That's great. Henrick would be even more insufferable in the future.
"Dad, why are you here again?"
She was still looking forward to a romantic proposal, okay?
Bert couldn't keep calm anymore. Wasn't he afraid that his daughter would get hurt?
"Okay, you two can discuss it yourself. I'm going to the company."
Henrick immediately bowed deeply to Bert.
"Thank you, Dad!"
Bert was stunned, and his expression didn't look very good. Last night, Henrick called him 'father-in- law', but presently, he called Bert 'Dad'. This guy's ability to take advantage of the situation was first- class.
Alice glared at him. "Shut up. I haven't married you yet. Why did you call him 'Dad'?"
Henrick smiled shamelessly and said, "Allie, I'll have to call him 'Dad' sooner or later anyway."
"Don't do that now. Dad, be careful on the way to work." Alice sent her father out to work.
After leaving the house, Bert felt a little guilty. He looked at his daughter and murmured in a low voice, "Alice, am I too anxious?"
Alice also knew why her father was being like this. He didn't want her to be hurt.
"Dad, it's okay. I have always liked him. He has been very sincere during this period of time, and he's not a bad person. Although he is a little childish, as long as it doesn't affect his life, it's fine," Alice responded with a smile, but she was not angry.
Bert also nodded and gently rubbed her hair. "I also know this, so I gave in. If it was any other scum, I would have disabled him long ago."
"You should go back. Take a rest since there's nothing to do at the company. Don't let yourself be too tired. I've already dealt with the matters involving the Hansen family. You don't have to worry. No one can bully my precious baby."
Alice smiled warmly and nodded. She watched her father get in the car before turning around to leave.
Henrick wanted to teach his daughter how to play the piano, so the two of them had already gone to Juliet's room.
Henrick's house was currently being transformed into a family hospital and it was in a mess so he didn't want to go back.
He decided to stay and teach his daughter how to play the piano.
It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Henrick had seen through his daughter's shortcomings and strengths. Juliet was very talented and understood everything at a glance. By the afternoon, there weren't any major problems with her playing.
"Juliet, that's great!" Henrick praised his daughter, which made Juliet so happy that she couldn't control herself.
However, at that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open by Alice. She looked at Henrick with a red face and cried out, "Henrick, come with me. Something happened to my father."
