The Epic Blind Date with My Boss (Josie and Dexter)

Chapter 209 Tanner West (4)

On the other hand, Holland would never publicly tell his son what his daughter–in–law had done, so he lowered his head and concentrated on his food.

Marie heaved a sigh after seeing that and did not say anything either.

In the meantime, Caroline glanced at Britney before looking at Holland and Marie as she kept quiet and continued to drink her juice. However, the elderly couple was surprised by her reaction.

When nobody answered Lawrence’s question, he assumed nobody knew the answer and dropped the subject. He was always the kind of parent who didn’t like to pry into his kids‘ affairs, so his question about Alice’s whereabouts was motivated purely by worry.

After breakfast, Holland dragged Caroline back upstairs. “You were very eager to tattle last night. Why didn’t you say anything today?” He was astounded because he had never anticipated that she would remain silent earlier.

Marie was also perplexed by the child’s actions as her eyes bore into Caroline and asked, “I would like to know the reason as well.”

After that, Caroline gazed at the two elderly, gray–haired individuals before her and heaved a sigh that made her look just like an adult. Then, she replied solemnly, “Mommy said I should act according to whom I’m talking to.”

He was visibly startled upon hearing that. “Oh? Tell me more. I wish to know.”

“Mommy advised me to be kind and tolerant with my family and friends. Of course, that was only if they, were worthy of my patience. Grandma may have bullied Mommy, but she is still my grandmother and is usually very nice to me. I think I should be more lenient with her.” After a brief pause, she continued, “Mommy would definitely want me to do that.”

She did not speak up earlier because of her mother. Marie mused as she gently stroked Caroline’s hand and remarked, “Oh, how can a child be so mature?”
