Chapter 348 : What’s Coming is Finally Coming
Lindsey used to think that if she had been in such a situation, she would not have made it through.
But Old Mr. Grant still did not blame Kaley too much, even if he abandoned Edwin, he also gave the appropriate decency.
As a father, his hands are all flesh, and it is very rare that he can solve the problem in this way.
Some people are greedy!
Lindsey sat down on the sofa next to Old Mr. Grant and asked with concern, “Grandpa, why aren’t you eating?”
“Lindsey, do you think, am I being too desperate?” Old Mr. Grant’s voice was mute, sounding pale and helpless in his ears.
Lindsey pursed her lips, held Bruce’s hand unconsciously, and shook her head gently. “Sometimes it is clear that you want a bowl of water to be even, but you don’t know that some bowls have an extra piece of clay at the bottom.”
Old Mr. Grant listened to this, sighed long and quietly, and stopped talking.
Lindsey and Bruce stayed with him until almost 8:30, waiting for him to finish his meal before going downstairs.
Downstairs, Aidan saw the two of them coming down, full of questioning eyes immediately cast over.
Bruce calmly explained: “Grandpa ate and went to rest, Jack will come down later.”
After saying that, he raised his hand to look at the watch and offered to say goodbye.
Aidan nodded slightly and did not stay with them.
When the two returned to the car, Lindsey immediately covered her stomach and said pitifully, “I’m so hungry.”
“What do you want to eat, I’ll take you to eat now.” Bruce hadn’t eaten dinner either, and it hurt badly to see her suffering.
Lindsey thought about it and said, “I don’t have much of an appetite, so I’d rather have the logistics prepare some dumplings.”
Bruce nodded and immediately took out his cell phone to call logistics.
It was nine o’clock at night when he got home, and Lindsey went to the kitchen as soon as he entered the house, washed his hands without chopsticks, and grabbed a dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Take your time …,” Bruce said, helping her sit down. “The actual fact is that you will not have to go over there this afternoon, for nothing.”
That’s what they say, but Lindsey knows she can’t help going.
The third aunt is really going to betray the grant family this time. Whether it’s for huiai branch in Dongjiang, old Mr. grant or herself, she plans every step accurately. There might be another person behind her.
The video surveillance of the East River Branch is so clear, but it still makes her heart tired, except for that crazy Kayden, I’m afraid no one can do it.
Lindsey finished one, picked up her chopsticks and brought another one into her mouth. The freshly made donkey dumplings were delicious and fresh, and the temperature was just right.
When Bruce saw this, his eyes were full of gentle smiles.
A few dumplings are so satisfying, those who don’t know, will think they have mistreated her.
The next day, there was no news from the Royal Garden, but Carl found out who was behind the frequent sabotage in Dongjiang.
The people who set up the game were not only Adrian and Kaley, but also Kayden.
Lindsey originally only suspected Kayden’s involvement, but now that it was confirmed, she felt vaguely uneasy at the bottom of her heart. After the establishment of Hui Ai, there was a lot of negative news, she held several conferences, Kayden would not ignore her.
The matter has come to this, she has nothing to worry about, Bruce will certainly protect her and the child.
Bruce couldn’t accept this either and repeatedly checked with Carl.
At the other end of the phone, Carl was probably bored by Bruce’s questions and said directly, “I’m sure it’s them, I just don’t have the definitive proof yet.”
“Then you continue to investigate, if it is really the third aunt and Kayden team up, I will personally come out to deal with this matter.” Bruce was angry. “Must check carefully.”
Carl’s voice sank abruptly: “I will.”
Bruce ended the call, the sword brow instantly deep frown into a deep Sichuan word.
Lindsey was not too upset, she would have been more surprised if Kaley and Kayden did nothing.
Especially Kaley.
Yesterday at the Royal Garden, Kaley looked at her with a look that could not wait to tear her up on the spot, she could see it clearly.
The fish for lunch was made by the chef who brought it back from the scenic spot last time. Lindsey had a good appetite, ate a bowl and a half of rice and did not seem to be affected in the slightest.
Bruce saw that she did not say anything, so he did not mention this matter.
In the afternoon, Lindsey received a call from Professor Lee’s assistant, saying that there was an event at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Professor Lee asked if she could attend.
“What kind of event?” Professor Lee invited her, and Lindsey didn’t have the possibility to say no.
At this end, Assistant Chen flipped through the schedule and explained, “It’s a joint event with the Ministry of Culture, the theme is to meet friends with paintings.”
“Where will it be held and what time will it start?” Lindsey brought a pen and paper, looking serious and ready to record. “Tell me, I’ll write it down, and I’ll be there on time tonight.”
Assistant Chen gave the time and place, and also mentioned Professor Lee’s instructions that if she really couldn’t attend, she didn’t have to force herself.
Lindsey laughed and said it was fine, hung up after a few more words, and turned her head to look at Bruce. “It’s a Ministry of Culture event, probably a meeting or something, do you want to go with me.”
“Of course I want to go with you.” Bruce didn’t even raise his head, and his low, pleasant voice carried the slightest hint of laughter. “In case I get abducted, I’ve lost my daughter-in-law. And lost his son.”
The first thing you can do is to say something nice, but you have to say it so bluntly.
Pretending to frown in anger, Lindsey opened the webpage, browsed the news first, followed by the Ministry of Culture’s website, and went through the recent reports.
There is a foreign cultural mission, no wonder Professor Lee was asked to attend.
But this kind of formal exchange meeting, I do not have an invitation, and I do not know whether the security will let go.
On second thought, the phone call was from Assistant Chen, he would definitely arrange everything, so there was no need to worry.
The meeting was held at 6:30 p. m. Lindsey looked at the time and had two hours left, so she turned off her computer and went back to her room to look for a suitable jacket.
The early spring chill was still very heavy, and she was not as careful as she had been in the past, for the sake of the baby’s health.
Bruce finished his work and raised his head to stretch his limbs, and found Lindsey back in his room.
“Help me see which jacket looks better.” Lindsey stood in front of the mirror, holding an overcoat in one hand and gesturing. “Light blue or smoky gray.”
Her belly was already huge, and her bulging belly swung round and round as she looked in the mirror.
Bruce didn’t answer her question, but went over with a smile, slowly squatting down to press his face to her belly.
The baby had been turning over more and more often, and Bruce felt so amazing about life every time he listened.
And at the same time heartbreaking Lindsey’s hard work, had he known that carrying a baby would be so hard, he would rather not have it.
“They’re kicking me now.” Bruce tilted his head in delight and looked at Lindsey with a smile. “Must be complaining that I didn’t choose your coat.”
“Good for you to know, come on get up and see which one I look good in.” Lindsey looked at him poutingly. “My hands are sore.”
Bruce stood up and flicked his eyes over the two coats, taking the smoky gray one and hanging it calmly back in the closet. “The light blue one looks good, your skin is white, wear it to reduce the age.”
“Don’t you think I’m old?” Lindsey said this, but her hands have already removed the hanger, and draped the coat on her body to see the effect.
In the mirror, Bruce stood beside her with a smile on his face, his posture straight, his soft eyebrows elegant and noble.
After being married for so long, she still always has the feeling that he looks better and better, sweet and sad.
The business inevitably has to socialize, inevitably has to show up, although most of the company’s affairs are handled by Cary, but he is after all the real controller.
The more times he goes out, the more people like him.
That’s a sad question …
After choosing her coat, Lindsey simply put on a light makeup and went out with Bruce to the side yard and ordered the guards to prepare the car.
Five o’clock has arrived at the peak of the traffic, Bruce left the army, the jeep with military A plates are basically not much used.
One does not want Old Mr. Grant to be gossiped about, and the other does not want to be too flashy.
Even if The Grant family is righteous, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will pick a fight.
The Grant family is a good family, but there is no guarantee that no one will pick on them. Besides, there are still Burton kind of brain-dead people in existence, so it is not a bad thing to keep a low profile in everything.
After being stuck in traffic for nearly ten minutes, the car finally squeezed out of the line, Lindsey looked down at the time and was vaguely nervous.
She left the house an hour and a half early, and if she was still late, she’d be ashamed to meet anyone.
Fortunately, her worries were completely unnecessary. After crossing the traffic lights at the intersection, the road flowed smoothly.
When she arrived, Assistant Chen was already waiting outside the venue, Lindsey took the invitation, chatted briefly and went to the signing desk with Bruce.
The two had just finished signing their names when Bruce subconsciously grabbed Lindsey’s shoulders, his voice sunken. “Kayden will appear tonight, you pay attention, do not leave my line of sight.”
“Got it.” Lindsey took his hand in hers and gave him a reassuring smile of certainty.
What’s coming is finally coming …
At that moment, a large number of media reporters swarmed outside the door, snapping pictures of the man in the center of the room.
In the crowd, the upright man in a suit, clear eyebrows little by little into the eyes.
In such a chaotic environment, the other party still maintains an elegant and decent posture, and his aristocratic temperament is revealed.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Lindsey held an attitude of appreciation, looked twice more, to make sure that he did not recognize, could not help but turn his head to look at Bruce. “Have you seen?”
Bruce’s eyelids fluttered and he nervously took her into his arms, nodding gently. “The crazy guy who’s been thinking about you for years, Kayden.”
That’s quite a show.
The first thing that Lindsey thought was familiar was the name, and when she heard it, she was stunned and then laughed.
She’s been watching her for almost six months, and if she doesn’t show up, she’s going to have a nervous breakdown.
After waiting for all of them to get into the elevator, Lindsey casually opened the invitation.
It was a very official introduction to the exchange, and when you looked at it all, it was mostly the names of various experts.
Gently closing the invitation, Lindsey raised her eyes to glance at the elevator key and sighed for no reason: “This kind of event, if it’s not official, Professor Lee probably won’t even look at it.”
“It’s hard for Professor Lee.” Bruce patted her approvingly, waited for the elevator to arrive, and then helped her walk in carefully.
The networking event was on the third floor, a relaxed and casual buffet reception format.
Lindsey found Professor Lee in the crowd, reminded Bruce of him, and took his arm and walked over to say hello.
Several of the ministers knew Lindsey and shook hands warmly when they saw she had brought Bruce along.
As they were talking, Kayden, with a suave smile on his face, calmly extended his hand toward Lindsey. “Lindsey, I’m back.”
Lindsey graciously extended her hand and looked at him with a smirk. “Did you find it boring to just spy on me.”
A flash of surprise flashed under Kayden’s eyes and he nodded, his eyes unusually grim. “It is very meaningless, so I’m going to take you away.”
