Chapter 44 Are You Hiding Something from Me?

Nancy pouted and tilted her head slightly, “Yes, I’m short of money. But I’m grateful to your help So it is my treat today.”

Charlie stared at her unblinkingly. He watched her put oh slippers and walk to the sofa. After she laid down and wrapped herself in a blanket, not a sound came out from her. He finally was sure that Nancy really wouldn’t accept his money today.

What was going on?

Had the sun risen from the west?

After observing Nancy for a while, Charlie finally laid down to sleep.

The next day, Nancy was up early. While having breakfast with Charlie, she casually asked, “Are you working today?”

Charlie took a sip of milk and stared at her, “It is the weekend.”

“Ah, right.” She said, “It was Saturday yesterday, so it is Sunday today.”

Nancy gave a silly smile with a spoon in her mouth, “Then let me accompany you to visit your grandfather today?”

Grandfather?

What made Nancy suddenly propose to visit his grandfather?

Charlie narrowed his eyes, “Nancy, is there something you should tell me?”

“Huh? Of course not!”

Nancy chuckled awkwardly, put down the spoon she was biting on. Fearing that Charlie might not believe her, she said earnestly, “I just learned to cook a few dishes and I want you to taste them. But I’m afraid you may not like them, so I want to visit your grandfather with you. If you do not like them, at least grandfather will speak for me.”

Seeing her being honest and knowing that he should visit his grandfather, Charlie nodded, “Okay, then get ready and we can leave.”

“Sure.”

Nancy stood up cheerfully and went to her room.

On the way, they stopped by the supermarket. After Nancy bought the food and ingredients, they hurried to the old house.

Old Master Firth, while playing chess with Charlie, glanced at the kitchen with gratitude, “Charlie, Vivian isn’t only capable of handling formal business, she can also cook. It’s hard to find such a good wife. You should treat her well. Do you understand?”

Charlie smiled, placed a chess piece, then looked up to his grandfather, “Grandfather, lost.”

Charlie lifted his chin in pride, ‘Because you were staring at my wife”

“Ha–ha!”

Old Master Firth laughed, “Are you jealous of me?”

“Yes.”

Charlie admitted without hesitation, “Only I can look at my wife like that. No one else can do that, even if you are my grandfather!”

Old Master Firth laughed instead of getting angry, “Great! Charlie, I’m glad to hear you say that! You really like Vivian. In this case, I trust you will treat her well.”

Vivian?

Charlie sneered. His wife wasn’t Vivian!

Nancy was a good cook. Both Old Master Firth and Charlie ate a lot. When they were about to leave, Old Master Firth searched in his room for a long time, then finally brought out an exquisite box.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Vivian, here, this is for you.”

Looking at the beautiful box Old Master Firth handed to her, Nancy asked curiously, “What is it?” Old Master Firth answered with a smile, “Open it and see.”

Receiving the box and opening it, Nancy saw an emerald and diamond bracelet. Its color and gloss showed that it was of the best quality.

Overwhelmed by the gift, she tried to give it back, “No, this is too expensive. I can’t accept

Old Master Firth frowned in dissatisfaction, “If I don’t give this family heirloom to you, then who should I give it to? Vivian, let me tell you, the only person who can possess this bracelet is the real Lady Firth of our family.”
