Amy suddenly realized that the private room she was going to was also Room 001, so she secretly asked a waiter.
"Excuse me, how many 'Room 001' do you have?"
"There is only one here. All the rooms have a unique number." The waiter thought that Amy could not find the room, so he enthusiastically told her where Room 001 was.
"My god! That old man is my husband's grandfather?" Amy felt upset. Just now, she insisted on calling his family. He must feel that she was annoying.
Amy hesitated for a moment. But she could not keep the old man waiting. She had no choice but to be brave and went to Room 001.
When she opened the door again, the old man inside was looking at her with a smile.
"Amy! I thought I made a mistake before!" The old man said to Amy.
"Well, grandpa, I was being too rude just now. I'm really sorry. Don't blame me." Amy lowered her head and walked in, sitting opposite the man.
"You should be blamed. We could have enjoyed the food when we came in, but you left. So, I suffered hunger for a while longer!" John clapped his hands and hot dishes were immediately served.
"Grandpa, you are in poor health, but you come to see me especially. Actually, you should not bother. My family has gone bankrupt, and my father has heart problems. My mother left my father and me long time ago." Amy explained her situation to John.
John nodded. As for Amy's background, John had investigated it clearly. But she was different from ordinary people. Others didn't dare to help him, but she did. Besides, she also dared to say something that others didn't. John was impressed that she was so bold.
"It doesn't matter. Our family doesn't need you to be rich. We value good virtues and you are very kind. Besides, we have plenty of money!" John said confidently.
"The dishes are ready. Amy, suit yourself. You are so thin." John piled as much food as he could onto Amy's plate.
"Grandpa, you are so kind. You remind me of my father. When I have meals at home, my father always helps me get a lot of food." Amy smiled at John.
Amy thought John was truly strange. He came to see her, but he did not tell her his name or look down on her. What did he want from her?
"Well, my grandson has a bad temper. He doesn't know how to make girls happy. Please give him more patience. Oh, I come to see you secretly. He doesn't allow us to meet you. Don't tell him!" John suddenly remembered that he came without Richard's knowledge.
"Alright, then this is between you and me." Amy smiled and said. John was interesting, like a child.
"Yes, that's right. It's our secret. Amy, if you need anything, you can ask Robin to tell me. I will help you." John watched Amy eating heartily, as if he were enjoying the food as well.
"Grandpa, I will. Actually, I don't mind my husband's ugliness, but he never lets me see him. Grandpa, please tell him. No matter how ugly he is, I won't dislike him. He paid my father's medical fees and I'm truly grateful to him." Amy said sincerely to John.
John was drinking water. When he heard that Amy did not mind Richard being ugly, he could not help but spit it out.
John choked on the water and kept coughing.
After unpacking the gift, Amy knew that it wasn't cheap. The jade earrings were tiny, but they were crystal and had a classic style.
After dinner, John pulled Amy's hand and walked to the door. He repeatedly asked Robin to nourish Amy, for he looked forward to having a great-grandson.
Robin nodded his head. Then John left, and Amy followed Robin back.
"Mrs. Carter, Mr. Carter's grandpa likes you. Congratulations!" Robin was happy for Amy.
However, Amy was not happy. She knew very well in her heart that it was useless for the family to like her. Her husband would divorce her two years later. To be exact, only one year and ten months were left.
"Robin, have you forgotten? Your master and I only have a contract as short as two years. When the time comes, we will divorce. None of this belongs to me." Amy put the box containing the earrings into her handbag.
Robin didn't say anything. He couldn't see through Richard or others.
Richard has liked Allison since he was young. But Robin thought Allison was pretentious and arrogant. She was not polite to servants at all. Only before Richard would she pretend to be nice and kind.
But Richard didn't believe anyone who spoke ill of Allison. In his heart, Allison was indeed the best.
Thinking of this, Robin sighed deeply.
