You Are My One and Only

Chapter 150

Elizabeth walked over to Phillip and snorted when she saw him munching on candy.

Her brows creased slightly as she said, “Phillip, do you want to join us for dinner?”

Phillip looked up at Elizabeth and nodded.

Elizabeth chuckled when she saw that. “I think I know why you got upset earlier. Is it because I sent you back to your room?”

Everyone laughed at her comment. Sylvie looked around the room and muttered to Phillip, “Don’t feel upset, Handsome Grandpa. They’re not laughing at you.”

Sylvie had always been a quick-witted child who warmed up to people instantly. She had done the same with both Elizabeth and Phillip.

Patricia was not worried about her three children, as they seemed to get along very well with the older generation. Ever since they were toddlers, they would try to initiate conversations with any older folks they met.

Even as babies, they would gurgle and chatter indecipherably, but the older folks would play along and answer them.

Phillip felt disgruntled when he heard Elizabeth’s comment. They did not understand him at all. Why would he be upset over returning to his room? Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

He was upset that he could not stay with his great-grandchildren, but no one understood him. No one knew what he wanted, so it was only natural for him to lose his temper, right? They were going to be the death of him someday.

Thankfully, his three great-grandchildren were so kind to him. They fed him candy and helped him with his hair.

The little girl was especially sweet and knew all the right things to say to soothe him.

Patricia was relieved to see that Phillip had calmed down.

She was afraid that Phillip lost his temper because he did not want to see them, but since the three children managed to calm him down, she was no longer worried about that.

If their presence somehow worsened his condition, it would not sit well with her conscience at all.

The servants wheeled Phillip out of the bedroom. Everyone sat down in the living room to watch television. They decided to watch Sylvie’s favorite animated series, Peppa Pig, and the little girl happily snacked on more fruit with her eyes glued to the television.

Now and then, Sylvie would reach out to feed a piece of fruit to Phillip, while Scott and Stellan would wipe both Sylvie and Phillip’s mouths for them. The two little boys were clean freaks.

As soon as they spotted anything smeared on Sylvie and Phillip’s lips, they would wipe it off at once.

In the meantime, Patricia and Elizabeth struck up a conversation about this and that. Elizabeth kept on observing Patricia and each time, she would marvel at the young woman’s pretty features.

Elizabeth had met people from all walks of life in her day, but she had never seen a woman as beautiful as Patricia. The more she looked at Patricia, the more beautiful she found her.

It was then that Elizabeth finally realized why Isaac was smitten with Patricia.

Just then, one of the servants came over and announced, “Old Mrs. Arnold, Master Isaac is back.”

Patricia had not expected Isaac to be home for dinner, so she stared wide-eyed at the door, and their eyes met.

A servant reached out for Isaac’s coat, and he bent down to change into indoor slippers.

When Sylvie spotted him, she grabbed a strawberry and ran over immediately.

“Mr. Arnold, you’re back! Here, open wide.”

Isaac glanced down at Sylvie before picking her up. She held the strawberry up to his mouth, and he ate it obligingly.

“Your house is so big, Mr. Arnold. It looks like a castle!”

Isaac chuckled in response. “If you like it here, Sylvie, then you can stay here from now on. What do you say?”

Sylvie’s eyes sparkled. “Really?”

Immediately after that, she shook her head.

“Even though it’s pretty here, it’s not my home. I like my home with my older brothers.”

Isaac chuckled again when he saw how serious she looked.

“If Tricia and I get married, this will be your home too. Why don’t you help me win your mommy over, Sylvie?”

Sylvie’s large eyes brightened once more.

“You’re right! I’ll ask my brothers to help you too.”
