When Kim heard that they might be arguing from afar, he walked faster and asked, "Madge, what's wrong?"
Tilly glanced at her uncle and did not say anything. She snorted, turned around, and ran into the villa.
"It's okay, nothing important!" Madge explained to her father. The smile on her face was the same as before, and the dimples on her face were deeper, "Dad, please take her upstairs to see Grandpa first! I'm not going with you, you must have something to say, it's probably not convenient for me to stay here!"
"Madge, you've made me very happy. You're a good girl! Thank you!" Kim was moved after listening to her words.
"Dad, don't say that, I'll always be your little girl!" Madge held his arm and said very considerately, "Don't blame my mother, she just couldn't accept it for a while."
"Well, I understand!" Kim nodded with a sigh.
What Madge said was right. Any wife should not be able to accept such a thing easily. His wife had every right to be emotional.
Kim turned to look at Wendy and said in a gentle voice, "Wendy, come in with me!"
Only then did Wendy speak, "Okay..."
When they disappeared from Madge's sight, the smile on Madge's face instantly disappeared. Instead, it was gloom and coldness, and her eyes were like a sword that was stained with poison. But at this time, there was no one in the courtyard and no one would notice her.
Wendy followed Kim all the way to the second floor and stopped in front of a study.
She knocked on the door and opened it. What she saw was antique books. Rows of bookshelves were filled with antique books. In the room, the sandalwood was lit up. In the middle of the desk, stood a white- haired old man, who was concentrating on the chess board with his head down.
He looked a few years older than Chase, with a white beard that was a few centimeters under his chin. Although he and Kim were looked alike, he was much more rigorous. Moreover, his character also seemed to be different. He was not like Kim, who gave people the impression of being approachable. On the contrary, he had this thing, like the feeling when first met Gilbert.
Because Wendy called Kim dad not long, she was still not used to it.
"Dad, I brought Wendy to you!"
Kim took her to the desk and said. He was particularly excited among the three people. He gently held her to come forward and urged, "Wendy, call Grandpa!"
Under Kim's eager eyes, Wendy had to hesitantly call, "Grandpa..."
To be honest, she felt uneasy and uncomfortable at the moment when she called "Grandpa".
Although Eduardo Gray heard it, he didn't look up. Instead, his eyes were still focused on the chess board. After picking up the white chess piece, he slowly took off the reading glasses and looked up at her face.
His eyes were not very sharp, as if he just wanted to know what she looked like, but he seemed to put on an invisible pressure on her.
Wendy stood a little straight and did not dodge his gaze.
He knew about his eldest son's sudden liver necrosis a few days ago, but he only knew that Kim was fine now. He didn't know the treatment process. Linda and Madge mentioned this illegitimate daughter in front of him. They said that Charlie, who was engaged to Madge, was robbed by her. And they told him that she not only got Charlie canceled the engagement but also became Kim's biological daughter. But they didn't mention she donated a liver to Kim.
Eduardo spoke again, and his tone was a little gentler. "Take a seat!"
Then the three of them chatted in the study for another half an hour or so.
After they coming down from the upstairs, hearing the respectful voice of the servants, the first person to come out of the living room was Madge. She called out sweetly, "Grandpa!"
"Madge, come here!" Eduardo waved at Madge.
"Tilly accidentally knocked down a vase, and the water inside spilled all over the floor. The servants just wiped the floor, but it was still a little slippery. Please be careful, don't fall down!" Madge had taken the initiative to help Eduardo up and said in a soft voice, "Grandpa, let me help you to the dining room!"
Eduardo smiled and nodded, then patted the back of her hand lovingly.
Wendy followed Kim. She could see that Madge was very close to Eduardo, but it was very normal. Eduardo only had a son and a daughter. The older generation always preferred boys over girls. Tilly was the daughter of the King family, and Madge was the only granddaughter of the Gray family, so Madge naturally was close to Eduardo.
It's called a family dinner, but there were only a few of them. They were all the Gray's, and there were no
other relatives.
