Nancy MO is absolutely right.
Phoebe Barnes heart slightly anxious, afraid of things suddenly be magnified, so good smile to the old man, “Grandpa, this matter you do not need to worry about, outside now still think that I am only Kemp’s fiancee, this if suddenly announced pregnant, more or less will not sound good, so … … Grandpa, you give a little more time … Grandpa, you give a little more time …”
The old man slowly wrinkled his brow, not knowing what he was thinking.
Phoebe Barnes continued good-naturedly, “Besides, your birthday is coming up soon, and now that everyone is getting ready, how can there be time to prepare for anything else? Let’s wait a while … anyway, the baby won’t run away by itself.”
Kemp Ross looked down at her arched, smiling eyebrows and a hint of displeasure flashed under his eyes.
Did this woman calculate all this, did she?
Phoebe Barnes didn’t notice and was still looking at the old man supplicatingly.
Ross old excitement after gradually regained calm, deep thought for a moment, also seems to feel too sudden, then deliberately plate face, said: “can be postponed a little more, but after the birthday, I will immediately let people start to prepare, Phoebe, this time you are not allowed to say anything ah. You can hide your marriage, but my precious great-grandson can’t hide it.”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes smiled stiffly and nodded, “Oh … well, good.”
She just didn’t see the man’s face that had sunken.
There is a more angry, is Bonnie Ning, dead clutching hands.
Her worst fears had come true.
This woman, she should have given her the boot a long time ago.
It seems that I was still too soft on her before.
“Phoebe, are you hungry?” Ross Sr. asked with concern and immediately instructed Bonnie Ning, “Go and have the kitchen prepare something that pregnant women can eat, and prepare more.”
Bonnie Ning anger, the face still have to smile and nod, “Good, I will let people go to prepare.”
“Wait!” The old man called out to her again, “Also, have the family nutritionist prepare a little more of what pregnant women can eat for three meals a day from now on, so that Phoebe can be properly toned.”
“Then go to the hospital and hire two nurses to watch over you twenty-four hours a day, nothing must happen.”
Bonnie Ning, “…”
Phoebe Barnes, “…”
Bonnie Ning almost broke her fingers and squeezed out a smile, “Well, my daughter-in-law will do it, but Dad, Phoebe still has to work, right?” You don’t seem to have much use for all this.
“What kind of work?” As if stimulated by something, the old man steepled his gaze to Phoebe Barnes, “Girl, you still want to work?”
Phoebe Barnes heart sank a lot, in the old man’s scrutinizing gaze slowly nodded his head, “… Yes, there is a play half shot, not yet finished, I want to finish the play while it is still early to say.”
Ross old man called a thousand times to get a great-grandchild baby can not wait, how could allow her to bear any risk?
As expected, the old man immediately changed his expression, his tone also became tough, “can not go, what extra things are not allowed to do at this time, their side grandpa will let people go to say, how much compensation is needed, grandpa doubled the compensation, in short, you stay at home to nurse the fetus, work things first do not think about it.”
Phoebe Barnes’ face changed, “Grandpa …”
It’s not about the money at all, okay?
Knowing that the old man would not make sense, she turned her eyes to pass a pleading gaze to the man.
When it was agreed that she could go back as long as she rested honestly for a week, he wouldn’t listen to grandpa and put her under house arrest too, would he?
Kemp Ross just gently rubbed her head, no attitude could be seen on his face, and then said to the old man in a light voice: “You don’t have to worry, I will keep an eye on her.”
Phoebe Barnes’ heart sank steeply.
…
Just hearing about the pregnancy, Ross old was happy all evening, and had a small drink at dinner, in an excellent mood.
On the contrary, Phoebe Barnes is not happy, from time to time look up at the man, the eyes mean obvious, but the other party always seems to be like not looking at her, except for her food, basically bowed his head and eat on his own.
The woman’s heart was a depression.
But in the end, not as depressed as Bonnie Ning, her own daughter was driven out of the country, not to mention that now there is another threat, the more happy the old man is the more angry she is in her heart.
Finally, he couldn’t help himself and said to the old man with a smile, “Dad, look, Phoebe is also pregnant, and it’s your birthday, it’s simply a double happiness, such a big good thing happened in the family, should we let Genny come back to see?”
“Genny ?” The old man was in a good mood, as if he remembered abruptly, then looked at the silent man who had been eating, “This is not a short time, Genny over there, book a recent flight for her to come back.”
Bonnie Ning’s eyes lit up and immediately looked nervously at Kemp Ross, bottoming out a bit, “Kemp, Genny has learned the error of her ways, she’s much better now, you let her come back.”
Kemp Ross finally lifted his handsome face from the plate in front of him, with little expression on his face and a cool tone, and said, “Grandpa, Aunt Ning, did you misunderstand something? I didn’t stop her, it was her own decision whether she wanted to come back or not, I was just responsible for having her sent there.”
“You …” Bonnie Ning was stunned, her face changed, “You mean … she can come back? ”
She couldn’t believe it. She couldn’t see through this man at all.
Kemp Ross didn’t say much, “Wouldn’t you know if you made a phone call and tried?”
Then turning her eyes to glance at Phoebe Barnes, “If you don’t want to eat, don’t eat, and have someone make it tonight when you get back hungry.”
Phoebe Barnes put down her chopsticks and nodded her head, “I’m full.”
The man then led her to stand up together and spoke out warmly to the old man, “Grandpa, she needs to rest, so she won’t stay tonight, come back another day.”
The old man was a bit dissatisfied, “You can also rest over here, there are bedrooms upstairs, no one will disturb you, just like you usually come.”
The man’s face was unmistakable as he said, “No, Dr. Pei is still waiting at home, we’ll go back first.”
King Pei at Bayswater Residence?
Phoebe Barnes blinked in confusion.
Hearing that the doctor was in the house, the old man thought he was going to examine Phoebe Barnes and stopped staying, saying a few words in quick succession before letting the two leave.
Letting the driver go back, the man himself drove Phoebe Barnes out of the old house in his car.
“Dr. Pei isn’t at home, is he?”
Phoebe Barnes thought about it, and he probably just said that on purpose.
The man didn’t deny it either, driving quietly and not looking at her, “You want to stay there?”
Phoebe Barnes shook her head, her grandfather’s excitement made her inexplicably a little uncomfortable, as well as the way Bonnie Ning looked at her, practically hating to eat her.
Then, remembering something, she turned her head to look at him and pouted her lips softly, “You’re not really going to listen to grandpa and put me under house arrest, are you? You promised me before that you would let me go back and finish the rest of the shooting as long as I was obedient.”
