Chapter 1880
Grant paid the price of almost destroying his healthy body merely to put on a show in front of Justin. What was Grant aiming for?
On the other side, in Crescent Bay, it was the day Ralph and Carrie had planned to go to the amusement park. Ralph woke up early and came to pick Carrie up at the villa.
Unexpectedly, his nosy mother insisted on coming with him, wanting to meet her "future daughter-in-law."
Mila and Ralph were rare guests at Crescent Bay, so Nigel came out to greet them personally, indicating how much he valued them.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
"Is this Ralph? What an outstanding young man!"
Nigel smiled broadly when he saw the handsome Ralph. "Hahaha... Madam Mila, your son looks exactly like Wyatt did when he was young! I don't even need you to tell me to know that he was Wyatt's son!" "Asher, Axel, and Bella all resemble their father more." Mila smiled warmly.
"My dad's genes are too strong," Ralph joked harmlessly.
"I like you, young man! You're not reserved, and you got your straightforward personality from Wyatt!"
Nigel patted Ralph's shoulder and then looked at Matt. "Matt, please bring Carrie down."
"Grandpa, I'm here."
Carrie held her teddy bear as she walked down the stairs gracefully, bowing politely. "Madam Mila, Ralph, good morning."
Her manners were impeccable, befitting the upbringing of a noble lady.
Mila eagerly walked forward and held Carrie's hand, liking her more and more.
No matter how the rumors slander this girl, Mila would not be affected. She had the brain to discern and the eyes to see clearly. Carrie was a rare gem, and it was those people who were blind and hateful. Suddenly, Mila's gaze stayed on Carrie's bare wrist. Carrie was not wearing the bracelet she gave her.
Mila could not help but feel a little disheartened.
"Ah... I wanted to wear it, but it was too expensive. I'm afraid of damaging it." Carrie keenly noticed it and hurriedly explained. "It's alright, child."
Mila was a little flustered and held her hand gently. "It's yours now. Wear it if you like, and don't wear it if you don't. It's nothing."
Carrie nodded shyly.
Standing behind his mother, Ralph could not stop staring straight at Carrie. His breathing gradually grew heavier, and his heartbeat was out of control.
Seeing her smile, he was affected and curled his lips up subconsciously.
"Matt, look at Ralph's expression. Does he look like someone?" Nigel nudged Matt with his elbow.
"Old Master Nigel, of course he looks like a person." Matt was amused.
"Tsk, are you picking a fight?" Nigel rolled his eyes and then chuckled. "When he was staring at my granddaughter, it was as if Justin possessed him! Justin had the same silly expression when he looked at Bella. Haha! How interesting!"
Matt coughed lightly, unable to hide a smile. "Ms. Carrie is just outstanding and likable enough."
"Old Master Nigel, Ralph is here today to take Carrie out for a date."
Mila smiled. "Ralph has never asked a girl out alone and felt embarrassed, so he brought me along to give him courage." "Mom, when did I... Oof!"
Ralph's words were stuck halfway, stopped by his mother's heels on his toes.
Carrie took in everything, a light smile dancing in her eyes.
"Hahaha! Good It's good to go out and have some fun. Staying here with an old man like me is boring." Nigel's eyes crinkled kindly. "Carrie, go ahead. Have fun today with Ralph. You don't need to rush to come home."
As they had already talked about this, Carrie no longer hesitated and said softly, "Grandpa, I'm heading out. You must take your meals and medicine on time."
"Haha! Rest easy and go!" Nigel waved his hand.
Suddenly, a deep voice boomed, "You'd better stay where you are. You're not allowed to go anywhere!"
