Chapter 489: 432: Don’t Be Stressed
Oscar Turner was caught, and the people he brought with them saw the current situation and didn’t dare to act. They were easily subdued.
The relatives also left one after another because of Charlotte Lane’s expulsion order.
They came with grandiosity and left with their tails between their legs.
The living room quieted down and became much more spacious. Even the air seemed to be fresher.
Everyone stood in the living room, quiet for a while, until Xavier Dominic coughed lightly, and all eyes turned to him.
“I, my throat is itchy.” Xavier Dominic repeated, “Really, it’s just itchy.”
Everyone ignored him and shifted their gaze towards Daisy Zane.
Daisy Zane noticed their gazes but didn’t look at them. Instead, she looked at Old Master Lane.
Old Master Lane was also looking at her.
Last time they met, the old master only had a fleeting glimpse of his granddaughter. Now, in the open, he could take a close look at her.
“Charlotte…” The old man was just about to speak.
Daisy Zane suddenly took a step back, knelt in front of the old master, kowtowed before him, and then straightened her waist and said, “Your unfilial granddaughter has caused you worry all these years.”
Everyone looked at Daisy Zane with downcast eyes.
The earlier shock was already significant, but with Oscar Turner’s matter, everyone had temporarily put this event aside.
Now that things had settled, everyone found it a little harder to bear the shock.
Kevin Clark, Hugo Clark, and Xavier Dominic had played with Charlotte Lane when they were younger, due to their good relationship with William Lane.
After so many years, they met again.
It was supposed to be a first meeting, but it turned out to be a reunion.
And all this time, they hadn’t recognized each other.
Holt Lawrence was also having a hard time adjusting.
The Nana he knew… he always felt that she was a wild child.
No matter how calm and steady she seemed on the surface, there was always a touch of wildness deep down.
Now she suddenly went from wild to domestic…
He was really having a hard time adapting.
Old Master Lane was also stunned for a moment, and then he could no longer control his emotions. His eyes moistened instantly.
He hurriedly bent down to help Charlotte Lane up: “Get up, get up. It’s good that you’re back. It’s good.”
Kevin Clark also helped Daisy Zane up.
Old Master Lane held Charlotte’s hand, patting it with his other hand: “It’s good to be back. The family is reunited now.”
Kevin Clark looked at Daisy Zane’s tear-filled eyes.
He remembered that Charlotte Lane loved to cry when she was a child, although sometimes it was exaggerated…
But now… he rarely saw the little girl shed tears.
When she was emotionally agitated, her eyes would only become wet and her face flushed, sometimes accompanied by a low fever.
He couldn’t see any resemblance between her and the previous Charlotte Lane, neither in appearance nor in character.
As Elina Clark and Natalie Wayne approached, Natalie couldn’t help but cry.
Elina looked at Old Master Lane and said, “Look how emotional you are now. Weren’t you calm just now?”
“None of your business.” The old master raised his hand and wiped away a tear.
“You think I want to bother with you?” Elina snorted, “I’m here for Charlotte’s sake.”
Old Master Lane didn’t back down, snorting, “You’re so capable, can you predict the future?”
“Both of you shut up.” Natalie intervened.
Elina and Old Master Lane immediately became quiet.
Daisy Zane raised her eyebrows.
Elina and the others didn’t stay at the Lane house for long. After chatting for a while, they left.
Only Kevin Clark stayed behind.
Old Master Lane hadn’t slept all night, and now that things had calmed down a bit, his energy was even worse.
“Grandfather, go to your room and rest for a while.” Daisy Zane said, “When lunch is ready, I’ll come to call you.”
“I want to see William and Amelie Quentin.” Old Master said.
“After lunch, we’ll go together.” Daisy Zane replied.
“Alright.”
Daisy Zane helped the old master upstairs, and Kevin Clark walked by the old master’s other side.
After reaching the second floor, Old Master Lane glanced at Kevin Clark: “Arthur.”
“Uncle Lane…” Kevin Clark subconsciously answered, then immediately stopped talking.
He frowned slightly.
Old Master Lane smiled and said, “You’re very quiet today.”
Daisy Zane also looked at Kevin Clark. Since her identity reveal, Kevin seemed to have lost his language skills.
Kevin still didn’t say anything.
Old Master Lane knew that this matter had a considerable impact on him. He smiled and said: “Charlotte was always very clingy to you when she was little.”
Daisy Zane:
Kevin still did not speak, but in his heart, he thought: But now she’s not clingy to him anymore.
“Have you ever thought that Charlotte would marry you?” The old man asked.
“I…” Kevin couldn’t speak.
“I thought Charlotte would marry you.” Old Master Lane didn’t wait for him to answer, “I would be at ease and satisfied if Charlotte married you.”
The old man stood at the entrance of the room and looked at Kevin: “Arthur, don’t feel pressured.”
Daisy Zane held back a laugh.
Kevin swallowed, feeling that what the old man said was not “don’t feel pressured” but “your pressure is yet to come.”
“Okay.” Kevin responded.
The housekeeper accompanied Old Master Lane into the room, and Kevin and Daisy went downstairs.
As the two walked side by side down the stairs and stood in the middle of the living room, Kevin turned to look at Daisy.
Daisy also looked up at him.
After a brief exchange of glances, Kevin pulled Daisy into the restroom of the living room and locked the door.
Then he lifted her onto the washbasin and kissed her.
Kevin’s kiss was not gentle but rather fierce.
Daisy had no choice but to bear it.
Kevin’s emotions were complicated, a mixture of various emotions.
The identity of the little girl had never been such a significant shock to him.
Daisy let him kiss her, not struggling until he let her go.
Kevin touched her face, looking at her eyes: “Little Girl.”
A hint of desire appeared in Daisy’s cold gaze: “Kevin Clark, let me remind you that we are at my home.”
Kevin looked at her.
“Of course, I don’t mind.” Daisy’s eyes swept downwards, but she couldn’t see much as Kevin held her face and tilted her head back, “But… can you do it?”
It took Kevin a moment to understand what she meant. He leaned closer, biting her lips lightly: “My earlier kiss wasn’t passionate enough, and you still dare to tease me.”
Daisy raised the corner of her mouth, her right hand hooked around his neck, pressed him down a little, and kissed him again.
