Chapter 357 My Girlfriend Doesn't Like It

"Hey, lately things have been pretty tense between you three brothers and your mom. You can't let her get all worked up over something so small."

"Just take Ms. Blackwood home, okay?"

Giselle's advice helped calm Grant down. He grabbed his car keys and, clearly annoyed, said to Vesper, "Ms. Blackwood, let's go."

Vesper, always composed and tactful, noticed Grant's reluctance. "Mr. Martin, if it's a hassle, I can get home on my own."

She was playing hard to get.

Grant jumped at the chance. "Alright, if it's a hassle, you can go ahead."

Vesper's expression changed instantly. Was Grant really that dense?

She turned to Anissa, who quickly chimed in, "Grant, Ms. Blackwood is just being polite. Can't you see that?"

"Listen to your mom and take Ms. Blackwood home."

Grant didn't argue. He grabbed his car keys and headed out.

Giselle and Anissa stayed with Vesper, their attitude clearly showed they wanted to win her favor.

Vesper was the only daughter of the Blackwood Family, a significant player in

Sovereign City. While not quite as powerful as the Davis Family, Vesper's gentle nature made her easy to manage. Anissa was eager to find such a compliant wife for her son.

Anissa said to Vesper, "Ms. Blackwood, don't mind him. Our Grant is just a bit standoffish. It's not that he doesn't like you; it takes time for him to warm up."

"You young folks should spend more time together. Relationships grow gradually." Anissa's encouragement made the somewhat naive Vesper nod repeatedly. Soon, Vesper was seated in Grant's car.

Grant drove off, taking Vesper away.

Watching Grant's car leave the Martin Family mansion, Anissa and Giselle both breathed a sigh of relief.
