Chapter 644 He Wasn’t the Favorite Anymore
At noon, they had agreed that they would keep their meeting a secret.
Bryson was relieved when he heard this, “Oh, nothing. I‘m just asking. What are you doing now?”
“I‘m driving.”
“Huh? Where are you going so late?”
“Well, I ate with my colleagues in the office. I‘m going back home.”
In fact…
She wasn‘t going back home but to see Karen.
However, Karen was one of the Collins family, her ex–husband‘s grandmother. If she told Bryson the truth, he might feel more uncomfortable.
She didn‘t dare to stimulate him.
Light flickered in Bryson‘s eyes, “I see, be safe on the road then.”
“OK”
Gloria didn‘t mean to chat with him for any longer. Although Bryson was a little disappointed, he could only tell her to be safe and then hung up.
He grasped his mobile phone unconsciously, feeling more flustered.
“Gloria… are you really lying to me?” Bryson looked down at the screen saver on his mobile phone. It was Gloria‘s smiling picture. He took it secretly, and Gloria didn‘t know it.
He gently rubbed the screen, and the sadness in his eyes piled up.
An hour later.
Gloria had arrived at the Collins‘ old mansion.
When the housekeeper Bill saw her coming, he greeted her with a warm smile, “Miss White, good evening.”
“Good evening, Mr. Cook.”
Bill said with a smile, “Mrs. Collins has just finished her meal and is resting in the backyard.”
“OK, I’ll go to her.”
Bill said okay, and then Gloria walked to the backyard.
As soon as she left, another person came into the mansion.
When Bill saw him, he was a little surprised, “Mr. Collins, you are back? Miss White has just
arrived. She is going to Mrs. Collins.”
Jordy nodded slightly. Gloria had just told him that.
“Go get busy.”
“Okay.”
Jordy also walked toward the backyard.
He heard Gloria‘s gentle and clear voice after a few steps.
“Grandma, you don‘t want me to come so often?” Gloria sounded a little upset.
Karen immediately laughed, “When did you become so slippery? I‘m just afraid you‘re too busy to
come.”
Jordy stood in situ and looked at the two people who were nearby with their backs to him. The coldness in his eyes quietly disappeared. If one looked carefully, he could find the unobtrusive gentleness in his eyes.
He stood still, as if he didn‘t want to ruin the harmonious scene before him.
However… his gaze might be too intense. Gloria noticed it and turned her head slowly.
When she saw Jordy, her eyes froze for an instant.
Karen followed her line of sight, and the smile on her lips stiffened.
“Why are you here?” Karen didn‘t sound as annoyed as last time, but Jordy could tell that she thought he was here to bother them from her tone.
He stepped forward, “Dad asked me to come back for some things, so I came to check on you.”
Light flickered in Gloria‘s eyes and she didn‘t speak.
Although she knew that he wouldn‘t like her, she still felt that Jordy came here on purpose. After
all, he wanted something from her.
In the past, Jordy always thought that she was a vain woman of no scruples, but now… he seemed to be such a person?
Gloria lowered her eyes slightly, without looking at him or speaking.
She just stood quietly in front of Karen.
Karen nodded and waved to him, “I see, then take your things and leave. Gloria is with me. You don‘t have to keep me company.”
Jordy was speechless.
He stood still in situ.
