Chapter 189 Stubborn Grandpa George
Logan was thinking with a serious look. Elena touched his face gently, “Alright. Don’t think too much. It doesn’t help at all. Anyway, it’s none of our business.”
Logan replied with a nod. But he was still confused.
When they arrived home, it was dark outside. Logan wanted Elena to have a rest first. But Elena didn’t want to sleep alone.
“I can wait for you.”
“You don’t have to. It’s too late.” He said in a mild tone.
Elena was finding excuses, “Well, I am hungry now. I haven’t eaten anything tonight.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Logan looked at her. He gave in, “Alright. I’ll cook for you now.”
“No, thanks!” She stopped him, “You must be tired now. I’ll do it.”
Then she went to the kitchen. Logan followed her, “It’s cold now. You’d better not use the cold water.”
Elena opened the fridge. When she saw the food inside the fridge, she smiled to him, “Well. I think neither of us needs to do the cooking.”
She took a step back and let him have a look. The fridge was filled with ready-made food. “It must be Mia. She did this for us.”
Logan nodded, “Then heat it in the microwave. Call her tomorrow. Let her know that she doesn’t have to do this for us these days. She should take good care of her family and herself.”
Elena put the food into the microwave, nodding, “OK.”
They had all the food that night. After the meal, Elena didn’t want him to get back to work. So she persuaded him to have a good rest.
The next day, when they woke up, they found that someone paid a visit to them. It was Grandpa George. Elena was so surprised, “Grandpa? Why are you here?”
Grandpa George was happy to see Elena. “You get up too late! I’ve been here for the whole morning.”
“Why do you have the key to my house?” Logan asked in a cold tone.
Grandpa George smirked, lying, “Well…I…I asked Mia to give me one.”
“You duplicated it in secret, right?” Logan caught Grandpa George in a lie.
Grandpa George looked embarrassed, but quickly, he composed himself, trying to look serious, “Forget it. I heard that Emma committed suicide, didn’t she? What happened?! Tell me now!”
Elena was a bit shocked, “How do you know it?”
“Come on! It’s breaking news! How can’t I know it?” Grandpa George answered.
He went to the hospital for a body check. And one of his acquaintances working in the hospital told him that his grandson’s wife’s family committed suicide and now was staying in the hospital. He was so shocked. He wanted to know more about it so he rushed to them at once.
Logan frowned, saying in an indifferent tone, “Why are you being so gossipy? It’s none of your business.”
“Bad boy!” Grandpa George was irritated by his cold attitude, “If you don’t tell me, I will ask Mason instead! He will tell me everything!”
Elena didn’t want him to know too much. So she gave him the runaround, “It’s about the Bushes. Leave them alone. I’ll send you home now.”
“No! I won’t go anywhere before you tell me everything!” Grandpa George didn’t agree. It seemed that if they didn’t tell a word, he would never leave their house.
Logan was sullen, “Grandpa. Go home now! I’ll tell you when time is right.”
“Why can’t you just tell me honestly? What do you want to hide from me?”
“Grandpa!”
Logan was irritated by Grandpa George’s stubbornness. His face even darkened. He repeated, “Grandpa. Go home now, please.”
Grandpa George turned to look at Elena, but saw her pale face. Seemingly she wouldn’t tell a word to him.
He was so confused now, but he couldn’t do anything to get the answer from them. “If you don’t tell me, I’ll go to Mason. I believe that he knows the truth!”
“Grandpa…” Elena tried to persuade him, “Could you please go home now? Don’t worry about it. After everything settles down, we will tell you later in detail. But not now. We don’t know what really happened, either.”
Though Grandpa George wasn’t happy about it, he agreed with Elena at last.
Elena said patiently, “Don’t worry about it. And don’t ask anyone about it, especially Mason. Just live your life as usual.”
Grandpa George looked at them with confusion. He sensed that there was something wrong. But he couldn’t tell.
Logan said in a cold tone, “Wait a minute. I’ll ask Jacob to send you home.”
“No, thanks. I have my own driver.” Grandpa George refused Logan’s kindness. Then he said in an unhappy tone, “Elena. I know you are a good girl. You are sensible and kind. But you’re just too tender, which will be your weakness. You can’t just keep everything to yourself. You might get hurt for this.”
“Grandpa…”
“Alright. I know what you are going to say. ‘I will tell you later.’ Right? Just as Logan said! Is it funny to piss me off?”
Elena felt a bit guilty. But she was unwilling to talk anymore. She hadn’t told him the truth that she wasn’t Mason’s biological daughter, or what Emma did to her.
Grandpa George waved his hand, “OK! I won’t push you! Now I’ll go home and leave you alone. Alright?”
“Oh!” Grandpa George added, “I won’t stay at home. I will ask Cornel to book a flight ticket for me. I will go abroad!”
Logan looked at him helplessly, “What do you want to do?”
“What can I do? I am unhappy and now I need to relax myself. It’s a good idea to travel abroad!”
Elena nodded, “Great. Then I will arrange the trip for you.”
Grandpa George was pleased by Elena, nodding. Then he left happily.
After he left, Elena felt relieved, “How did Grandpa know about it? Did everyone know? I am afraid that…”
“Take it easy. Grandpa knows what to do.” Logan didn’t worry about it.
Elena didn’t doubt his words and decided not worry too much.
While Emma was in the ward now. Mason went out to get breakfast for her. And the care worker wasn’t there, either. So she was left there alone. Her blank eyes seemed to light up.
She lowered her head and looked at her heavily dressed wrist. The next second, she curled her lips, smiling meaningfully!
