Chapter 1065
‘That's why I said it's my duty as a grandmother to help you prepare for the wedding. It's not a bother at all. Even if it's troublesome, I'm happy to help." Margaret was still smiling, but her smile used to look a lot more benevolent.
She seemed to have anticipated Alexander's refusal and continued, "Of course, it makes sense for Lily to get more rest since she's pregnant, but she can't stay home all day either. It's not good for the baby. Lily, you must occasionally walk around to get some fresh air.
"Alex, you have been with your grandfather since you were a child and didn't spend much time with me. Then you became busier when you grew up. Since it's so rare for me to be with you, you should spend some time with me now.
"Can you do that for me? I’m getting older, and I don't have much time left. I thought, why not just enjoy our time while I'm still around?" There were tears in Margaret's eyes as she spoke, and she looked sad.
Alexander and Lily sat there in silence. They typically fell for soft words rather than a tough argument. They thought it was best if Margaret showed her tough side, but she used a different tactic this time. She even mentioned Hugo, which would give Alexander a more challenging time refusing his grandmother's offer.
"Grandma, that's not what I meant," Alexander said, "I just feel..."
"He just feels that you might get too tired,” Lily interjected and continued," It's not that we don't appreciate your kindness, but we're afraid you might get too stressed. Still, you're right. I should occasionally go for a walk instead of being bored at home all day.
"I told Alex I wanted to go for a walk before, but he refused to let me leave. He's being a bit too sensitive. Since we're on the same page, accompany me while I go for a walk!" Lily looked at her husband while speaking smilingly.
Margaret's eyes lit up when she heard what Lily said. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile,
"You're very considerate and know how to take care of the elderly, Lily. Since your wife has agreed, what do you think, Alex? Shall we leave?"
Alexander showed helplessness, glanced at Lily, and said dotingly, "Okay. I know you've been bored at home for a long time, so let's go out together.”
The two changed their clothes while Margaret scanned the house. The house was so big, and she did not know where Alexander would hide the handbook. She did all she could, and now it was up to Ralph to get what he wanted.
Margaret sat still while scanning the house when the couple came down the stairs. She casually stuffed the ring she removed from her finger into the gap between the sofa cushions and stood up, saying, “All right, let’s go!"
The trio got into the car, and the car drove off. Ten minutes later, Ralph's car arrived near the gate, honking carelessly.
"Mr. Ralph, Mr. Russell had just left. Please come back another day," said the housekeeper.
"Oh, what a coincidence! It doesn't matter since I'm not in a hurry. I can go in and wait for them to return.” He patted the steering wheel with no intention of leaving.
"I'm sorry, sir. We can’t let you in since Mr. Russell isn’t home."novelbin
"What? Do you know who I am? I'm his uncle. Why can’t I visit my nephew at his house?!" Ralph looked dissatisfied. "Hurry up and open the door, or I'll tell him to fire you!”
However, Alexander had taught his housekeepers well, and they only listened to his orders. They would not let Ralph in, even though he was Alexander's uncle.
"I’m sorry, sir. I cannot let you in. Please forgive me."
