Veild Bride : Love From An Enigmatic Husband

Chapter 40
“Hmm…” Senior Yancey thought about it seriously. “He hasn’t, I think. That girl doesn’t count.”
So there was a girl in his life?
Violet did not dig deeper into it. It was none of her business, after all.
He was a very outstanding, desirable person. Furthermore, everyone had a past.
“Alright, watch your TV,” Senior Yancey said in a kind voice. “I have other things to do, so I’ll hang up first.”
“Okay, bye grandpa,” Violet replied sweetly too.
The old man ended the call. Violet put down the receiver and continued to slip through the channels on the television. with the remote control.
She did not feel out of place at all, living in Jack’s home.
The light in the study on the second floor shone brightly. Jack sat at the desk going through his email inbox while his long and slender fingers typed away on the keyboard. Just as he was done typing out an email, his phone rang. He ran through the message for errors before sending the email out.
He picked up his phone only after turning his computer off. Before he accepted the call, he glanced at the caller ID. “Hi, grandpa.”

“Why aren’t you watching TV with her downstairs?” Senior Yancey reprimanded.
Jack was slightly startled upon hearing those words. “Have you installed security cameras in house?”
my
“I’ve just given Zoey a call. She said that Vi is watching TV alone downstairs.” His grandfather sounded dissatisfied. “Why aren’t you spending time with her? Is this how you treat guests?”
“Why should I spend time with her?” Jack protested. “I’m busy with work.”
“Because she’s Mrs. Yancey! If you don’t spend time with her, who will? You’re the one who got Michael to bring her back, okay?” Senior Yancey reminded. “What did Michael say again when he came to fetch her? He was following your orders and had come to fetch Mrs. Yancey!”
“Grandpa, you know very well that…”
“I don’t know, I don’t know! I don’t know anything! I only believe what I hear!” Senior Yancey declared in a very stern voice. “All I know is that you need to go downstairs right this moment and spend time with her. If you still have to work now, that means there’s a problem with your efficiency at work during the daytime! You need to reflect on yourself! Reflect on yourself properly!”
“I..” Jack was speechless.
“You what? You? Go quickly!”
Jack let out a long inward sigh. “I know.”
“Good boy!” Only then did Senior Yancey feel relieved. “Go downstairs and have a chat with her. How awkward must she be! She’s a girl, you must be more mindful of how she feels.”
Then, his grandfather hung up the call.
Jack took a deep breath. After some thought, he got up to go downstairs.
This girl was a force to be reckoned with. She had won his grandfather’s heart. Unfortunately, that meant she might become impossible to shake off in the future.
Jack was still upstairs. With both hands in his pockets, he walked down the stairs very lightly, one step at a time. His eyes fell on Violet’s back. This girl had a pure countenance and a dauntless spirit.
It was only after he had reached the landing downstairs that he realized she was watching a show about a mouse and a cat, Was that not a cartoon? How childish was she?
Jack came and sat down beside her, Only then did Violet notice and turn to glance at him.
Jack kept his eyes on the television. “Do you feel awkward?”
