Chapter 151: I heard you just got divorced
Although Jerry always talks about money, he arranged for me to stay at a six–star hotel in Maple Valley,
Initially, I planned to head back to Jacquar that night, but Jerry said over the phone, “I’m going to Jacquar tomorrow, I can give you a ride.”
“Alright.”
Might as well take a free ride in a Bentley.
The next day, I intended to sleep in but was woken up by a phone call.
“Come down.”
It was Jerry’s lary voice.
Being woken up by Jerry two days in a row made me irritable, “Dude, did you stay up all night again?”
“Got a bit of a temper when you wake up?”
I took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said, “Of course nat, just concerned about you. Mr. Hammer, what brings you here so early?”
Terry yawned, “Grandma Harris wants to see you.”
I was a bit surprised, and his yawn made me yawn too as I climbed out of bed, “Now?”
Jerry suddenly said, ‘Otherwise, do you think I’m here because I have nothing better to do or because I’ve secretly loved you for years and am waiting downstairs at this hour?”
“Alright, fifteen minutes.”
I quickly washed up, changed my clothes, grabbed my bag, and went downstairs.
Jerry’s car was arrogantly parked under the portico. He was leaning against the car, head slightly bowed, playing with a lighter, locking carefree and unruly.
I jogged over, “Let’s
1. go.
“Did you time your arrival?”
Jerry glanced at his watch and said nonchalantly, “Not a second late.”
He was calling me slow
I raised an eyebrow and smiled, “I’ll take that as a compliment for being punctual.”
With that, I tried to get into the back seat of the Bentley.
nd being the driver?”
“Ms. Royston, would you mind
Jerry held the car door shut, nodded towards the driver’s seat, and tossed me the car keys.
Then, he comfortably settled into the passenger seat.
When under someone elses roof, you have to bow your head.
I realized why Jerry had sent me the location of the Harris family Manor; this was his plan all along.
I reluctantly walked around to the driver’s seat. Just as I was about to complain about Jerry’s lack of chivalry, I saw him pull out an eye mask from who
knows where.
He tilted his head and fell asleep.
Chapter 151: I heard you just got dworced
This guy must have been a sleep–deprived ghost in his past life.
However, I eased up on the gas and brake pedals,
The car drove steadily all the way to the Harris family Manor and slowly came to a stop.
The manor was a standard countryside villa, nestled halfway up a hill, serene and tranquil,
Jerry was still sound asleep in the passenger sent.
I reached out and patted Jerry’s shoulder, “Mr. Hammer?”
No response.
“Jerry, Jerry?”
“Just call me by my name from now on; it sounds much better.”
Jerry suddenly pulled off his eye mask, looking at me groggily, “When you call me Mr. Hammer, it always sounds insincere, even a bit mocking.”
I was speechless,
I couldn’t find a reason why, but when I was with Jerry, as he said, I always felt more like a carefree hedgehog.
I abandoned my cautiousness and sensitivity.
But I knew that this version of me was more true to myself
Jerry snorted lightly, “No rebuttal, seems like I hit the mark.”
with that, he pushed open the car door and got out with his long legs.
Jerry was very familiar with the Harris family Manor and led me to find Claire effortlessly.
Claire stood up abruptly when she saw me, almost letting her shawl slip off, “Ms. Royston, you’re here.”
I responded with a smile, “Mrs. Harris, Terry said you wanted to see me?”
end up
Claire paused, then gently said, “I wanted to take you to the dressing room to see if you like the designs. 1 wouldn’t want to waste your time if I end not liking them.”
“Alright.”
I agreed readily.
Claire looked at Jerry, “Terry, go have breakfast in the dining room. Bring a portion for Ms. Royston when you’re done.”
Jerry gave us a suspicious glance but didn’t say anything more and walked towards the dining room.
I thought Claire was going to take me to the dressing room, but she suddenly took my hand warmly, “Come, love a seat.”
“Alright”
I was a bit Battered and sat down, not daring to move my hands.
I couldn’t recall ever meeting my grandparents.
Chapter 151: heard you just got divorced
I didn’t know if they didn’t like me or what, but I couldn’t remember.
Claire’s elderly face was filled with longing as she held my hand tighter, “I saw you yesterday, and I dreamed of my little granddaughter last night. That girl kept wanting to play with you; she seems to like you a lot.”
Claire smiled, “I woke up in the middle of the night, wondering if she wanted me to take care of you more.”
I was touched and said softly, “Mrs. Harris, you must have been thinking about her a lot.”
iy don’t you
“Why
u call me Grandma like Jerry does?”
Claire asked cautiously.
I was slightly taken aback.
I had sensed yesterday that Claire was very different from Skylar.
But I didn’t expect the difference to be this great
Originally, I didn’t want to get too close to the Harris family, but looking at Claire’s expectant eyes, I couldn’t bring myself to refuse,
Fortunately, I usually stayed in lacquar and wouldn’t have much interaction with Claire.
Finally, Lobediently agreed, “Alright, Grandma.”
Claire responded happily and suddenly asked, “I heard yesterday that you took over your parents clothing brand?”
“Yes,”
I nodded, “It was a brand they started before they passed away. It’s been neglected for many years.”
Claire’s expression tightened with sympathy, “Your parents passed away?”
“Yes.”
I lowered my eyes and said sadly, “They died when I was eight, to protect me.”
Talking about this made me choke up a bit. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“They must have loved you very much.”
Claire patted my hand, “No wonder my granddaughter likes you. You’re both children who lost your parents early and didn’t get to enjoy much happiness.”
“No, Grandma…”
As I was speaking, a spoiled and willful voice suddenly came from behind, “Hope Royston, you’re trying to get close to my family! This is my grandma, what are you calling her for!”
I stiffened, recognizing Kimberly’s voice.
Claire looked displeased and didn’t even glance at Kimberly, “Who allowed you to come here?”
“Grandma!”
Kimberly whined, walking closer with Christopher, “I’m in a relationship now and brought him back to meet your
Seeing the tall and handsome Christopher next to Kimberly, I dug my nails into my palm.
If I had known, I wouldn’t have come today no matter what.
Christopher, with his cold and noble demeanor, remained composed and respectful even in front of Claire, “Mrs. Harris, I’m Christopher Valence. Kimberly’s boyfriend.”

He played the role of grandson–in–law perfectly.
I silently curled my lips, feeling nothing but irony.
Claire still held my hand, maintaining her elder’s demeanor, “I heard you just got divorced?”
