C111 Young Madam, Your Seduction Has Worked.
"Coming, come to Grandpa!"
Just as Lydia was in a daze, Old Mr. Tillman's voice sounded.
She immediately curled her lips and sat down obediently beside Old Mr. Tillman. She called out sweetly, "Grandfather."
"Lydia, tell me honestly, did you bully me?" In the next second, her hand was pulled by the old man.
Seeing that the old man was so worried, Lydia quickly shook her head. "No, he... treats me very well."
Old Mr. Tillman looked at the two of them with suspicion. Was she alright?
After a few seconds, he patted her hand affectionately. "That's good, that's good. Seeing the two of you being so loving, I have to stay for a few more days."
After saying that, the old man signaled for Ora to move her luggage to the second floor.
Lydia's smile froze on her face.
Why didn't this old man play by the rules?
Logically speaking, they shouldn't have been worried after hearing that they weren't quarrelling, so they should have gone back to the old house.
Why did they have to stay for a few more days?
Although she was a little confused by the old man's actions, Lydia did not show it on her face. She laughed dryly and agreed, "No problem, Grandfather can stay as long as he wants to."
"What do you think, brat?" Old Mr. Tillman looked up at Reece, who had been silent the whole time.
The man paused for a moment, then looked up at the old man. His gaze finally fell on Lydia. "Like I said, it's good that you have made your decision. I have no objections."
In the past, whenever Old Mr. Tillman brought up the idea of moving over to live with Reece, he would use all sorts of reasons to stop him.
But today, this brat actually agreed!
Old Mr. Tillman was a little surprised at this result.
But in the next moment, the old man glanced at the doting face of the brat and smiled.
Oh, it has been a few days since I last saw this brat. He seems to have changed a lot.
He finally has a wife!
Hmm, not bad, not bad. His years of education have not been in vain.
He finally has a grandson.
With this thought in mind, Old Mr. Tillman felt even better.
"Brat, come play chess with Grandfather?"
"Alright."
The two of them played chess, and then, Lydia helped Old Mr. Tillman peel an apple and eat it.
While the two of them were engrossed in the game, she quietly looked up at the incomparably elegant man opposite her. Then, she lowered her head and fell into deep thought.
Ever since she found out the truth from Loran last night, her state of mind seemed to have undergone a subtle change again.
She could no longer ignore his every move, such as that kiss in the morning.
Thinking of that scene, her face still felt hot.
Now, she didn't know how to face him.
Lydia was distracted. She grabbed the fruit knife and used too much strength. The sharp blade instantly cut through the fruit skin and broke her thumb.
With the blood seeping out, she subconsciously let out a muffled groan.
She bit her lips and quickly pulled out a few pieces of paper from her drawer to wipe the blood off.
In the next second, a large hand suddenly landed on the tissue in her hand and snatched it away. "Don't move. I'll go get a disinfectant and an alcohol sanitizer for you."
Reece stared at her, his dark eyes filled with heartache.
Before she could retort, he had already gotten up and walked to the closet beside him. He took out a set of tools for disinfection and bandaging.
"Your hand."
Reece sat down beside her again and spat out a word with his thin lips.
The man's voice was gentle, but there was a sense of oppression in his voice that could not be refused.
Lydia pursed her lips. "There's no need for this small wound..."
She had only spoken halfway when the man's palm reached out towards her.
She was stunned for a second, but in the end, she still obediently placed her hand on the man's palm.
Reece used the medical cotton to gently wipe away the snow on her fingers. A clear and deep wound appeared.
The man's brows furrowed, and the heartache in his eyes instantly overflowed.
Afraid that it would hurt her again, he consciously put his hands down when he was disinfecting and bandaging her.
"Aiyo, why did you cut your hand? Young Lady, are you alright?" Ora, who had just come down from upstairs, walked up to her worriedly.
"Cough!" Old Mr. Tillman coughed dryly and shot a look of warning at Mrs. Liu.
Ora immediately understood the old man's intentions and quickly stood beside Old Mr. Tillman to observe the two people from afar.
"It's nothing, it's just a small wound... Reece, he's making a fuss over nothing." Lydia withdrew her bandaged hand and explained with a smile.
" Ora, don't let her touch any of the knives." Reece packed the medical kit and crossed his legs on the sofa. He looked at Ora and said, "Don't let her eat apples in the future."
He was adamant on preventing her from peeling the apples.
Ora: "..."
Lydia was speechless. Wasn't it a little over the top?
Old Mr. Tillman was speechless. Yes, he was a good student.
"Mr. Tillman, we won't eat apples anymore?" Ora blinked her eyes and asked curiously.
The man on the sofa nodded without hesitation. "What? Is there a problem?"
"No, no problem." Being stared at by the man coldly, Ora forcefully swallowed the advice that the apple contained a lot of vitamin C.
Mr. Tillman was happy to hear that. He was happy to see her happy.
He didn't have any objections.
"Don't listen to Reece. It's just a cut on your hand, it's not like you won't buy an apple." Lydia saw the situation and hurriedly smiled awkwardly. "It's not early yet. What do you want to cook for lunch today? I'll help you."
"Don't touch the water."
Just as she was about to raise her leg, she heard Reece's reminder.
Lydia paused for a moment, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart. Turning her back to the man, she nodded and quickly walked out of the living room.
Standing in the kitchen, she stared at her thumb, which was wrapped in a white gauze, absent-mindedly.
"Young Mistress, I think that your trick of trying to catch him by surprise is very effective. Mr. Tillman has been completely eaten by you this time." Suddenly, Ora, who was holding the dish, came over with a smile.
Trying to catch him by surprise?
She pondered for a few seconds before she remembered that she had just made up a lie when she left the Tillman family. She didn't expect that Ora would take it seriously.
Lydia smiled helplessly. "Is that so?"
"Of course, Mr. Tillman is now full of Young Madam."
Hearing Mrs. Liu's words, Lydia laughed dryly.
At this moment, she really couldn't tell. It was only when she turned around and looked back many years later that she realized that Reece really loved her.
In the living room.
After Lydia left, Old Mr. Tillman looked at Reece meaningfully.
"Brat, I'm curious why you changed your mind?"
"Why? Is Grandfather unhappy?"
"I'm happy, but I feel that it's unbelievable." Old Mr. Tillman stopped smiling and became serious. "After all, you used to love that girl from the Woodward family. So..."
He was a little curious now that things had changed so quickly.
Although Old Mr. Tillman didn't mention the name, the word 'Xia' made Reece narrow his eyes. The coldness in his eyes instantly froze.
"At that time, I was blind, so I mistook her for someone else and missed her."
"... Indeed." Old Mr. Tillman nodded in agreement, but he was still very happy that his grandson had finally understood. "Since you have thought it through, I don't need to stay here anymore. After lunch, send someone to send me back."
Go? Reece frowned.
He looked up at the girl in the kitchen who was busy. He smiled brightly and said, "For the sake of taking care of my grandson, it would be better for you to be a supervisor here."
It would help him chase his wife, and it would also help his family to be harmonious.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to leave.
