Chapter 71: Why Are You Here?

Janice answered, "I am free in the morning. What’s the matter?"

"Janice, here’s the thing. I have a disobedient grandson who is about 30 years old and only thinks of working every day. He doesn’t have a girlfriend yet! Since you are about the same age, can you help me to persuade him?"

Janice thought it was an inappropriate request.

But when she thought that the man was elderly and was just worried about his grandson’s marriage, she agreed in a moment of weakness.

After hanging up the phone, old Mr. Allson immediately called his grandson.

"Now, go to the Maple Forest Villa right now. The girl is waiting there at table No. 5. And, I warn you, if you don’t go, I will call your mother to teach you a lesson."

Old Mr. Allson hung up the phone after threatening him.

He was quite satisfied with his arrangement.

Thinking of this, he could not help humming.

However, Christopher who just hung up the phone, was extremely depressed.

His grandfather was really stubborn. He had told him that he was married, but he didn’t believe it.

However, he had to face today’s tricky meeting.

"I’m married. Why do I have to see a girl?"

After being threatened, Christopher decided to tell this lady that he already had a wife.

Thinking of this, Christopher set off.

When Janice arrived at the Maple Forest Villa, the man had not arrived yet. She took the seat assigned her.

This was a very romantic place, which was very suitable for couples to date.

Seeing that the man had not arrived yet, Janice could not help taking out her camera and taking a few photos.

She wanted to keep these photos. In the future, when Yvonne was in love, she would share them with her.

In fact, she wanted to come with Christopher as well, but she didn’t know if he would come with her.

After all, it was a little childish.

While Janice was thinking, a figure approached. She looked up subconsciously, only to find a familiar face.

"Christopher?"

Christopher also saw Janice. He paused for a moment and then stepped forward.

"Why are you here?" The two asked almost at the same time.

"You first."

Christopher said.

However, Janice felt embarrassed. After all, she came here for a man. She didn’t know if there would be a misunderstanding if she told him.

Later, she still said, "I was asked by someone to meet a man here." Someone?

Christopher frowned and then glanced at the table number. It was number 5, as his grandfather had instructed.

He wondered if the "someone" she was talking about was the same person. "Wait, I’ll make a phone call."

Janice nodded. She watched him make a call. It didn’t take long for him to come back.

"Come with me."

"Where are we going..."

Before Janice could ask more questions, she was taken away by him.

Both were silent on the way. Twenty minutes later, Christopher parked the car in front of the villa.

Looking at the familiar villa, Janice thought, "Isn’t this that elderly man’s home?"

But why did Christopher bring her here? While she was thinking, he had already opened the door and got out of the car.

...

Janice quickly followed him.

The two entered the villa one after the other.

"Grandfather."

Christopher shouted as soon as he entered.

When old Mr. Allson heard the voice and came out of the house, he saw Christopher and said in disgust, "Why aren’t you at the Maple Forest Villa? Why are you back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Janice. He quickly walked over with a smile and said, "Janice, you’re here too."

When Janice was surprised by the word "Grandpa", she saw old Mr. Allson walking towards her.

At this moment, her mind was in a mess.

"You guys..."

"Janice, what do you think of my grandson?" Old Mr. Allson did not see the shock on Janice’s face. He only wanted to know their feelings.

Janice glanced at Christopher and said, "It turns out that he is your grandson who is unwilling to marry."

Upon hearing this, old Mr. Allson’s heart skipped a beat. "Do you know each other?"

Before Janice could reply, Christopher said, "Of course I know her. More than you think."

Then he held Janice in his arms and said, "She is the granddaughter-in-law that I have never shown you before."

After hearing his grandson’s words, old Mr. Allson opened his big eyes wide and looked at them in shock.

"Is, is this true?"

He looked at Janice.

Then Janice nodded.

At this moment, old Mr. Allson was very surprised and delighted.

What a coincidence!

He didn’t even know his own granddaughter-in-law.

However, old Mr. Allson soon thought of another thing. He glanced at Janice and asked, "Janice, is he the one who lied to you before?"

Hearing this question, Janice felt awkward. She had spoken ill of Christopher in front

of his grandfather.

She nodded awkwardly.

Old Mr. Allson panicked. Thinking of what he had said to Janice, he was embarrassed as well. He then said, "Janice, why don’t you have a seat? I’ll talk to him."

Janice nodded.

Then old Mr. Allson turned to Christopher and said, "Come with me."

Christopher didn’t understand the reason, but he still followed.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Old Mr. Allson glared at him. "Why didn’t you bring back such a good-tempered woman earlier?"

Christopher looked aggrieved. "Didn’t I say before that I would bring her here? You were too impatient."

Old Mr. Allson said, "Impatient? I almost lost my grandson’s wife, and you dare to say I am impatient."

Christopher asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"I... It’s.. It’s none of your business." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Old Mr. Allson coughed dryly and looked away guiltily.

Christopher seemed to understand. "It is you who said ’men can tell the sweetest lies’?"

Old Mr. Allson felt embarrassed. He was so talkative that he almost lost his granddaughter-in-law.

However, of course he would not admit that he was wrong.

"Why did you lie to her?"

With this, old Mr. Allson thought of something and asked, "So, what are you lying to her about? She cried so sadly before."

"I just concealed my identity." Christopher answered truthfully.

Old Mr. Allson indignantly said, "Since you’re already married, why hide things? Are you planning to keep a mistress on the side?"

...

Upon hearing this, Christopher thought to himself, "Are you still my grandfather?"

He whispered, "If I didn’t hide my identity, you wouldn’t have such a good granddaughter-in-law."

"What did you say?"

Old Mr. Allson did not hear clearly and asked with a frown.

Christopher shook his head. "I said it was my fault."

Only then did old Mr. Allson say, "Of course it’s your fault. Since you have married her, you should cherish her and be honest with her. Otherwise, the trust will be gone."

Christopher nodded in agreement.

Old Mr. Allson continued, "Later, you should seriously apologize to Janice. Don’t lie to your wife anymore."

"Got it."

Then, the two walked out.

Janice sat outside, feeling a little anxious. She was also surprised by this coincidence. She really didn’t expect Christopher to be the grandson of the old man.

So this was really fate.

They turned out to be a family.

Just as she was sighing with emotion, she saw the two come out, so she immediately stood up.

When old Mr. Allson saw Janice, he regretted very much. If he had known that she was his grandson’s wife, he would not have said those words.

Hence, old Mr. Allson walked up to Janice and whispered, "Janice, don’t listen to what I said before. Let me tell you, my boy, Chris, is a reliable man. Although he shouldn’t have lied to you, don’t worry. I taught him a lesson just now. If he tries to do this again, you can tell me and I will teach him a lesson for you."

After saying this, Old Mr. Allson glared at Christopher, who was not far away.

Christopher was unaccountably stared.

What was Grandpa doing? He whispered to his wife after talking to him.

Like a spy.

However, Janice was moved by old Mr. Allson’s words. She did not expect that he would protect her so well.

"Thank you, sir."

She was moved.

"Then, can you forgive him this time for this old man’s sake?"

Old Mr. Allson asked tentatively again.

Janice had already forgiven Christopher. She had figured her feelings out through last night’s incident.

Thinking of this, she nodded to old Mr. Allson.

"Then you..."

Old Mr. Allson was still worried.

"Yes, don’t worry. I’m fine with him."

Janice said.

Upon hearing this, old Mr. Allson was relieved.

"Good girl, you can call me ’Grandpa’ now," Old Mr. Allson quickly reminded her.

"Grandpa." Only then did Janice call him obediently.

Old Mr. Allson’s face was instantly filled with love.

At noon, he enthusiastically asked the couple to stay and have a meal together.

Then the two left.

Christopher was driving while Janice was sitting in the passenger seat.

On the way, both of them were silent.

But suddenly...

"Janice."

"Christopher."

The two spoke at the same time and looked at each other in surprise. Christopher said.

"You go first."

Janice pursed her dry lips and said, "I... I want to take back what I said before."

Janice lowered her head and waited for his answer nervously.

Christopher frowned. "What are you talking about?"

Janice awkwardly said, "What... what I said about a divorce."

"What? I didn’t hear you clearly." Christopher asked.
