Chapter 0030

Catherine stormed off, determined to catch up with Mary. She couldn’t believe Maximus was willing to defy her this time. Meanwhile, Maximus stayed seated at the table, thinking his grandmother wouldn’t actually take any action regarding Mary. But if she did maybe it would be a relief–his house would finally return to normal.

‘Grandma, you asked me to pay the bill, yet you didn’t even order anything to eat,‘ he thought, a mocking smile crossing his face.

As Catherine made her way toward Mary, she pulled out her phone and called Peter.

“Hello, Peter dear! I need a favor…”

“Grandma, what is it this time? I can tell by that tone you want me to do something. Feels like you want me to get rid of someone,” Peter replied, his voice laced with sarcasm.

“You silly boy! Is that how you greet your grandmother?”

“Oops, sorry! Hi, gorgeous grandma!”

“That’s better!”

“Alright, now what favor do you need?”

“Oh, yes! I need a place to stay.”

“Grandma, I’d love to host you, but my place might not be up to your standards. Plus, there’s always a party going on here. If you don’t mind the noise, I’ve got no problem.”

“Peter, it’s not for me. But you know what? That’s what I love about you! You never say no to your grandma.”

“Do I even have a choice? Haha, just kidding! You’re always welcome at my place, whenever you want and for however long you need.”

“My dear Peter, I’d love to come take care of you. You’re too skinny! You need a mother’s touch. But unfortunately, this favor isn’t for me.”
