“Grandpa.” Logan Brown’s voice calmed, his tone following a few moments of lightness at the thought of what he was about to bring up, “Congratulations on your promotion to Great-grandfather.”
“Sh……”
George Brown had originally wanted to ask him how he was doing, but ended up nearly jumping up and down in excitement at the news.
Seemingly sensing his joy, the joy in the man’s eyes deepened a few notches, and as he remained lost in thought he spoke again, “Yes, Elena gave birth.”
“That!” George Brown could barely contain his emotions, and the next moment he burst out laughing, “I’m… I’m going to be a Great-grandfather? I’m having a little Great-grandchildren!”
The man spared no words, but also gave a definite answer, “Hmm.”
“Hahahaha ……”
George Brown couldn’t contain his glee and burst out laughing, “I’m a Great-grandfather, I’m a Great-grandfather!”
“Grandpa ……” Logan Brown hid his laughter, “Calm down, watch out for your blood pressure getting high again.”
“Afraid of what?” George Brown obviously didn’t care about anything anymore.
Logan Brown couldn’t help but frown slightly, alarmed, “Grandpa ……”
“All right, all right.” George Brown heard his displeasure and responded, “You’re right, listen to you, listen to you all the time.”
Logan Brown was satisfied then, only the next second George Brown’s tone followed in frustration, “So is Elena still …… at the Fords now?”
Logan Brown scowled, unable to deny it, and nodded in response, “Well, yes.”
George Brown’s hand shook unconsciously, regret gradually washing away the joy, “Logan …… I’m sorry, I’m the one who didn’t catch what Cornel had in mind in time to… …”
“Grandpa!”
Logan Brown interrupted his self-condemnation just in time, “It has nothing to do with you, and you don’t need to take it all on yourself.”
He had already defined who was right and who was wrong.
George Brown just shook his head helplessly after all, “That’s different, and you don’t understand, Cornel Brown is the child I educated, everything he does, I am also responsible for it, it’s my duty as a father!”
A son does not teach his father.
This is a constant truth and anyone’s heart knows it.
Logan Brown squeezed his palms tighter, a cold glint in his eyes as he mentioned Cornel Brown, “How is the Brown Group now?”
“Everything’s fine.” George Brown sighed, “Cornel was angry when he found out you had left H City, but there was nothing he could do about it, and nothing he could do after that, so he put all his energy into the company, which is now on the up and up.”
Logan Brown fell silent and didn’t say anything for a long time.
George Brown knew what he meant, and in the end was helpless.
“Logan, I’m too old to manage many things anymore, but no matter what I hope we can have a family reunion, and …… I also want to see my little Great-grandchildren before I die …… ”
This was probably his last hope at this point.
He has lived most of his life, also lived enough, everything has been obtained, nothing is missing, the only thing missing, is the peace of this family.
Now, all he wanted was to be well.
Logan Brown pursed his lips for a long time before saying slowly, “Grandpa, don’t worry, I’ll bring Elena back, and the baby too.”
This was what he had come to G City for, and there was no way he was going to give up, let alone return empty-handed.
George Brown couldn’t help but nod in relief at his words, a burst of satisfaction.
He quickly wiped away the tears that had fallen down his face and nodded repeatedly to hide the fluctuations in his heart at the moment, “Good …… good, I’ll wait for your good news.”
Logan Brown answered and gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.
The moment the phone hung up, the old man’s tears were more like breaking the bank and he simply could not stop.
It was only when Cornel Brown returned from the office that he bumped into him wiping the corners of his eyes, tired of crying, that he snapped up and asked, “Dad, what happened to you?”
George Brown’s face snapped up at the sound of movement and he met Cornel Brown’s concerned gaze.
At the sight of him, George Brown thought of him telling Elena Bush to leave and couldn’t help but push his hand away in exasperation, “What’s wrong with me is none of your business!”
“Dad ……”
Cornel Brown was in a hurry and saw that he was about to leave with his cane, so he went after him and stopped him, “Dad, what’s wrong with you, if you don’t tell me, it will only make me worry more!”
“You’re worried?” George Brown laughed, “If you were worried you wouldn’t be making me miserable thinking about what you’ve done!”
Cornel Brown had a flash of weakness that he quickly suppressed and stammered, “Dad, why are you bringing this up again, did someone say something to you again?”
“No one, it’s just that I’m angry with myself!”
“But it’s been so long ago, let bygones be bygones, there’s no need to bring it up again, it’s only …… going to make you more angry.”
George Brown grunted twice, “How dare you say that when you know!”
He said, he didn’t even think about shaking his hand off, “All right, I want some peace and quiet, don’t bother me, and don’t ask me to eat dinner!”
“Dad ……”
Cornel Brown wanted to say something else, but the old man had already turned and walked slowly upstairs, not giving him any time or opportunity to defend himself, leaving him bewildered.
He stood alone in the living room for half a second before he remembered something and stopped a servant to call the butler over.
The Browns’ butler now stood respectfully in front of Cornel Brown.
Cornel Brown narrowed his eyes dangerously, “Tell me, what happened to Dad today? Did anyone see him, or did you hear something from anyone?”
“Mr Brown ……”
“Speak!”
A roar made the butler’s body tremble, and in the end, he was forced to tell him about the phone call between George Brown and Logan Brown.
At the end of his sentence, the housekeeper added, “I don’t really blame George Brown, I heard him start to sound quite normal and keep chattering about being a great-grandfather, so I guess he must have mentioned the young lady, right?”
“Elena Bush?” said Cornel Brown, clenching both fists and gritting his teeth in anger, “It’s her again!”
Not true!
Great-grandfather?
Cornel Brown’s exasperated look suddenly froze on his face,”So according to Dad …… Elena Bush’s baby was born?”
No wonder, no wonder George Brown was suddenly angry with him for what he had done, so ……
He couldn’t help but laugh at himself, for if he hadn’t done the wrong thing, George Brown would be enjoying a family reunion by now.
