The Formidable Son-In-Law: The Charismatic Lucas Gray-Chapter 1041 - A Humble Little Residence

Geoffrey turned his head in surprise and saw his smiling granddaughter Maddy walking over with Lucas and Jordan behind her.

“You… How did you know I was here?” Geoffrey said in surprise.

But he soon understood and smiled.

It was simply a piece of cake for someone as powerful as Lucas to find his whereabouts!

“Grandpa, did you arrange for this beforehand?” Maddy scanned the surroundings of the front yard.

In fact, on the surface, it did seem like an ordinary small residence. It was a one-story bungalow, and there were some vegetable patches in the front yard, with a few peach trees around.

But all the leaves had fallen, leaving only black and warped branches.

The rest of the facilities in the residence were also very simple.

This immediately made Maddy’s eyes redden.

Although the Stones couldn’t compare to the eight top families in DC, they were still wealthy and had at least billions in assets. The Stones’ villas were also extremely luxurious and comfortable.

Geoffrey had been the helmsman of the Stones for years, but now that he was advanced in years, he was living in a simple farmhouse. The thought of it made Maddy feel really uncomfortable.

But Geoffrey smiled indifferently and said kindly, “Maddy, don’t look like you’re about to cry. Let me tell you. My greatest dream when I was a child was to have a yard where I could grow my own vegetables and bask in the sun in leisure!

“If your father didn’t lack the ability, I would have long left the family residence and come here to live.

“Today, I’ve finally gotten my wish!”

Maddy reluctantly contained her emotions and asked, “Grandpa, do you plan to live here in the future?”

Geoffrey nodded. “Yes, I’m finally relieved of my burden and can live my life as I please. Isn’t it quiet and peaceful here?”

Maddy could tell that her grandfather really liked this place. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bought this residence years ago. Besides, she could see that Geoffrey seemed to have been relieved of his burden and was now living in leisure.

“Grandpa, in that case, I’ll live here with you so that I can take care of you!” Maddy immediately said. She couldn’t be at ease letting Geoffrey live here alone.

“I can live well on my own. Why would I need you to take care of me? I don’t need you here. Don’t bother me.” Geoffrey waved his hand, pretending to be disgusted.

This place was only suitable for an old man like him who had already reached retirement age, not a young woman like her. It wasn’t the place for her to waste her time in vain.

But Maddy refused to give in. “That won’t do. I must stay with you, Grandpa! If you don’t let me live here, I’ll buy the house next to yours and come over to annoy you every day!”

Maddy deliberately pouted her lips.

Seeing this, Geoffrey could only helplessly show a wry smile.

He knew that his granddaughter had the same temperament as him. As long as she made up her mind, she would never change it. He might really not be able to chase her away.

But Maddy smiled and held Geoffrey’s arm affectionately. “I’ll stay here with you until I get married next year. When the time comes, Grandpa, you can come live with us! Since you like a place with a yard like this, I’ll get you one too.”

“You’re getting married next year?” Geoffrey smiled in surprise.

“Yes, we agreed on it after some discussion.” Maddy looked at Jordan and blushed shyly.

“Haha, that’s wonderful!” Geoffrey laughed with joy. The good news made him feel even more relaxed and eager to see his granddaughter getting married.

He looked at Jordan and sized him up. He looked away only when Jordan felt embarrassed. He sighed and said, “Jordan, I’ll entrust my granddaughter to you from now on. I hope you will treat her well and never let her down!”

Geoffrey’s voice was full of earnestness as he entrusted Maddy to Jordan.

Maddy was his most beloved granddaughter, so Geoffrey hoped that Jordan would treat her well.

Jordan nodded cautiously. “Grandpa Geoffrey, please rest assured that I won’t let Maddy down. She’s the love of my life!”

Lucas smiled. “Mr. Stone, don’t worry. Both Jordan and Maddy are my close friends. If Jordan dares to mistreat Maddy in the future, I won’t let him off!”

“Hahaha, that’s great!”

Since Lucas personally assured him, Geoffrey had nothing more to worry about and burst into laughter.

On the contrary, Maddy felt embarrassed after hearing what they said. “I’ll go see what there’s to eat at home.”

With a blush, she scurried into the house.

The few of them looked at each other and laughed.

It was almost evening, and Geoffrey had just moved into this bungalow, so there were many things that needed cleaning and reorganizing. They also had to prepare dinner. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

Lucas and the rest didn’t loaf around either. They tidied up the house well while Maddy went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

At this moment, a black Rolls Royce slowly came closer and stopped outside the residence.

“My father’s staying in this kind of place now?” Carlos opened the car door, got out, and immediately frowned.

There was dirt on the road in front of the shabby residence, and Carlos couldn’t stand being here for another second longer. He couldn’t believe that this was the place his father now called home.

The old butler at the side hurriedly said, “Mr. Carlos, I helped Mr. Geoffrey buy this place a few years ago, and he used to always say that he would come here to retire. So, I guessed that he must have come here.”

“Alright, let’s go in and take a look.” Carlos frowned and then led a few family members of the older generation into the simple and humble residence.
