Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Grandpa Dave was relieved after hearing that Molly agreed to have lunch together. “See you later then,” he said.

“Sure, Grandpa,” Molly responded with a smile. After hanging up, Molly went on to prepare the supplements she had bought for Dave to nourish his health. She was not planning to bring her triplets over because she did not want them to meet anyone in the May family other than her grandfather.

“I need to go out for a while. Be good and stay at home. Don’t go anywhere.” Molly exhorted the triplets to stay put at home. The three of them responded unanimously, “Okay!”

Molly took the present and went to the restaurant. It was a high-end eatery they booked. The environment was pleasant, and there was even a live band performing. The place was quiet and relaxed.

Molly followed the direction and went into a private room after she arrived. She then saw her grandfather and Nathan, who had a stolid face.

She nodded out of courtesy and took the initiative to greet them, “Hello, Grandpa. Hi, Nathan, Nathan was fairly surprised when he saw how much Molly had changed.

Molly had appeared tacky and shabby when they first met. She looked exactly like a country bumpkin. Back then, she would look at her surrounding timidly and feel uncomfortable in every place she went. But the current Molly was fashionable, exuding an almost invisible aura of confidence. She looked neither subservient nor arrogant, and she was not acting over friendly either. She was stunningly different! Nathan nodded lightly in response before he asked, “What do you want to eat? Is there anything you don’t want to take?”

“Anything. I’m not a diet,” Molly responded casually. “Just get whatever grandpa likes to eat. Order something light and soft.”

After saying that, she got up thoughtfully and poured Grandpa Dave a cup of tea. Grandpa Dave would be delighted every time he saw Molly. He asked, “Are you used to staying here after returning from overseas? Why didn’t you come with my three great-

grandchildren? “It’s been some time since I last saw them. I wonder if they have grown any taller. Are they fine with the food here?

“How’s your new place? I actually have a house in the city. Why don’t you guys move in there?

Nathan frowned after hearing what Grandpa Dave said. ‘Did Grandpa offer Molly a house without her asking at all?! I have no issue if it’s just about a house. The thing is that she pulled some tricks to make Grandpa offer it himself!”

“They’re doing just fine. They kept saying that they missed you too. The new place is decent, and it’s quite spacious too. I’m fine with living there. As for that house, you should just keep it for yourself,” Molly pronounced every word clearly. She did not sound like she wanted to butter up Grandpa Dave at all, and she even rejected her Grandpa Dave’s offer directly. A hint of shock flashed in Nathan’s eyes as he started to get suspicious of what his mother told him. ‘Did mom lie to me?’ He straightened his clothes and sat uprightly on his seat. His bright gaze fell on Molly as he started to check her out blatantly. He was trying to see through her intention. Molly noticed it, but she pretended to be ignorant of it as she talked to Grandpa Dave. “How are you recently? Are you feeling well? You should avoid sweet and greasy food. You don’t want to have a relapse. Your three precious great-grandchildren will start nagging you by then.

Grandpa Dave burst out laughing. “Okay, I got it. I’ll watch my diet from now on.”

All the dishes were served after a while.

“Grandpa, Molly, all the dishes are here. Dig in.” Nathan politely told the two of them to start eating Grandpa Dave helped his granddaughter with the food and filled her bowl with everything she liked to eat.

Molly was being considerate; she did the same for Grandpa Dave. “Grandpa, eat more of this. This is good for your health, and it tastes nice too.”

Both of them were enjoying themselves.

Nathan took the chance to initiate a conversation with Molly. “Molly, I heard grandpa say that you’ve got quite an achievement.”

“It’s nothing too special, “Molly responded nonchalantly.

Perhaps Nathan failed to notice her estrangement. He continued, “It must be hard for you to raise three children alone as a woman, right? You can come to me anytime if you ever need help with your expenses.”

Molly was surprised when she heard what he said. She did not expect that there would be somebody else other than Grandpa Dave to care about her. And that person was Nathan May!

“We both know that grandpa is getting old. Let’s just not bother him.” Molly heard Nathan say that before she could recollect herself.

She was shocked. She understood what Nathan was implying. She could sense that not only Nathan was not caring about her, but he also thought that she was leeching off her grandpa.
