Chapter 56

Chapter 56 On the other side of the line, Grace was also crying.

“She knows that Grandpa doesn’t like me, so she used Grandpa to deal with me... How can her methods be so despicable?”

Joseph was stunned and did not hear her clearly.

The woman in front of him was clearly crying without any sense of beauty, but he could feel that she was really sad, and every tear was touching.

“Child, what’s going on? Don’t scare grandpa!” Rory had seen all kinds of things, but he was confused by the crying of a little girl.

Chloe sobbed, “Grandpa... the bracelet, the bracelet was broken by me... These days... I tried everything I could to repair the bracelet, but I couldn’t...”

“So... so I want to make an identical one... I, I’m just afraid that you will be unhappy if you know...”

I’m sorry, grandpa... I lied to you... I’m sorry...

Chloe cried until her little body was twitching, and the back of her hand was wet with tears.

Really, she couldn’t be more pitiful.

Joseph listened to these cries intermittently, and his whole body shook. He finally understood what she had been doing during the few days she disappeared.

He also finally understood why her delicate fingertips were covered in calluses. It turned out that it was all to restore the bracelet that her grandfather had given her.

Suddenly, he felt as if the crystal tears were burning on the tip of his heart, and the bitterness and sadness spread out densely.

“Oh my... How significant is this issue, my child!”

“Actually, when you first came in, I could tell that you were not wearing the bracelet I gave you. I also guessed that the bracelet might be broken or something. Otherwise, it would be impossible for our filial Raya to not wear it with her.”

“But Grandpa really did not complain about you at all. Your grandma–has- so many jade bracelets. She has a big box! I originally wanted to give it to 10:30 A Billion–Rich Woman Was Chased by Her Ex–Husband you, but I was afraid that you would not accept it, so I chose the one with the most water head to give it to you. I made up such a story just to let you accept it.”

“In the past, your grandma jokingly told me that these things were all ‘cumbersome‘ and said that when she was going to be buried, she must not let these things with “ding ding” and “ding” follow her. She thought it was taking up too much space!”

Upon hearing this, Chloe’s face relaxed slightly, yet tears still glistened in her eyes and her nose was tinged red.

“Joseph! Joseph, you son of a bitch, where did you go?”

“Brat, hurry up and come over to coax your wife!” Rory shouted anxiously.

Grace shouted, “Brother Joseph! Don’t go over. I haven’t finished talking to you yet...”

“I have something to deal with here. Let’s talk about it later.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Joseph decisively hung up the phone.

On the other side, Grace looked at the black screen and panted heavily. Her face was as red as a pig’s liver.

“Raya... you slut! Slut! Fox! I will definitely make your death very ugly!”

Grace frantically dialed Aubree’s number.

“Auntie! Please save me! That bitch Raya and Brother Joseph are at grandpa’s place!”

Grace sobbed, “If this continues... Brother Joseph will be taken away by her! In the past, as long as I call him, he will come to me no matter what...”

“Now he hung up before I finished speaking! If he didn’t have a change of heart, what else could he be?”

“Auntie, if I can’t marry into the Sawle family, I can’t help you. I can’t use the skills you taught me anymore!”

Grace knew that it was not enough just to complain. She had to drag Aubree into the water and make her feel that her interests were threatened. Only then would she sincerely help her.

“Grace, don’t get worked up. You’re well aware of what Joseph has been like in recent years. You can’t push him, and you can’t rush things. It’ll just be like last time – it’ll only make things worse. Joseph still holds a grudge against you for badmouthing Raya.”

“Even if he feels remorseful for how he treated you when you were a kid, this friendship can not be broken over and over again,”

Aubree said rationally and calmly.

“Then, then what should we do?” Grace asked in a panic.

“Pretend, pretend to be miserable, pretend to be pitiful, but you have to put it into Joseph’s heart.”

Aubree smirked, “With aunt here, Raya, an abandoned woman, wants to fight with you? She can go back to her mother’s womb and cultivate for a hundred years!”

Joseph’s tall and slender figure rushed into the study room.

“Grandpa, I’m here.”

“Brat, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear that Raya was crying? If I didn’t call you, would you not come?” Rory slapped his grandson in the face.

As long as his baby Raya was happy, he would even be willing to let Joseph perform a chest shattering stone!

“No.”

Joseph responded and walked to Chloe, quietly glancing at her.

She had two lines of clear tears hanging on her bright, moon–like face, like the flowers in the dew. Her black hair partially covered her beautiful cheeks, making her red lips and white teeth more and more beautiful. She looked pitiful.

Chloe felt a little embarrassed. Her cheeks couldn’t help but blush, and her long eyelashes fluttered. A teardrop fell down like a falling star.

Joseph was in a daze, his chest moving up and down along with her fluttering eyelashes.

“Stinking brat, hurry and accompany your wife!” Rory urged angrily. “Why me? She didn’t cry because of me either.” Joseph frowned in confusion.

“Because Raya is your woman! If your woman cries, do you need an old man like me to help you coax her? Don’t you have a mouth?”

“Grandpa, Joseph and I have divorced. I am not...”

“A day of husband and wife is a lifetime of kindness! He hasn’t done anything good for you in the past three years. This apology is what he owes you!”

When Rory heard the word “divorce“, his face sank, and his heart ached even more than if he had divorced himself. “Bastard with yellow soup in your brain! If you don’t coax Raya well today, don’t say that you are my grandson when you go out in the future!”

Joseph pursed his thin lips and said in a low voice after a while, “I’m sorry.”

Chloe opened her bright red eyes, and her heart was shaken.

In her impression, this was the first time this man had apologized to her.

Unfortunately, he did not show any sincerity.

“Make another bow!” Rory said.

“Is there a need to do this?” Joseph’s eyebrows twitched.

“It’s good enough that I didn’t make you kneel on the keyboard! In the past, if I didn’t apologize to your grandmother, I would apologize and bow again. I have to show enough sincerity! Raya is my treasure. I will never allow you to brush her off. Hurry up!”

Joseph was really forced into a corner by the old man, so he lowered his eyes and took a step back. His hands were in front of his chest, his left hand was outside, and his right hand was inside. He bowed deeply to Chloe.

“Miss Lewis, I’m sorry.”

The scene in front of him was like a beautiful woman in a drama, making the corners of Rory’s lips rise crazily.

Wasn’t this a joyful scene?

Chloe’s cheeks flushed red, and her sobs gradually stopped. Looking at his polite and serious appearance, she could not help but snicker in her heart.

Not to mention, to be able to make Joseph bow down to her, regardless of whether he was sincere or not, she felt secretly pleased.

Just as Joseph was about to rise, Rory commanded, “Raya didn’t say she wanted you to stand, so stay bowed! When did Raya speak her golden words? Only then can you stand tall!”

However, one second, two seconds, three seconds...

Chloe did not respond!

This woman was clearly doing this on purpose!

It was only when she saw the veins on Joseph’s forehead start to pop up 10:51 that Chloe sniffed and said in a soft voice, “Grandfather, it had nothing to do with Joseph. Don’t make things difficult for him.”

Joseph’s handsome face was about to fall to the ground.

‘Raya, you really know how to take advantage of me and show off! Very good!‘

But when he saw her pair of almond–shaped eyes swollen into red peaches, he could not help but feel less angry.

At dinner time, Chloe personally pushed Rory and Joseph accompanied him to the dining room. The three of them arrived at the dining room.

The table was full of delicacies and beautiful dishes, all prepared for her by her grandfather.

However, just as she sat down, Max rushed in with a complicated expression and leaned on Joseph’s shoulder, ready to whisper.

“What do you want to say? Just say it.”

“We’re all family here. Don’t hide it, especially on my table.”

“Ah, this.” Max looked at Joseph with a troubled expression.

“Let’s talk here,” Joseph instructed indifferently.

“Yes, Mr. Sawle.”

Max took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Just now... I received a call from Madam. She heard that you were with Mr.

Sawle and did not dare to disturb you, so she could only contact me first and ask me to pass a message on her behalf.”

“Hmph, at least that woman has some self–awareness!” Rory was angry when he mentioned Aubree.

“Madam said that the results of Miss Brown’s diagnosis came out. She has... severe depression.”
