Blanca had been awake for twenty minutes.
She was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, Matthew had gone to the office, last night from The Grant family old house back, Matthew did not say anything extra, but Blanca always felt that Matthew was a little bit not too happy.
It seems to be hiding something from himself.
Hoo …
Blanca picked up her phone and looked at the time again, then got up to wash up, only … she had just brushed her toothpaste on her side when the sound of talking came from downstairs, because the soundproofing was good, so Blanca thought it was the morning vegetable delivery coming.
Because the weather is now cold, to avoid Mrs. Brown every morning to go to the market to buy fresh vegetables, so now are sent over in advance, just not a moment later, there was a knock on the door outside accompanied by Mrs. Brown’s voice, “Madam, madam you are awake?”
“Oooh … I’m awake.”
Blanca still had toothpaste in her mouth, she hurriedly turned off the tap and went out, opening the door to see Mrs. Brown standing outside the door.
“Madam, … the master is here and says he wants to see you about something.”
Mrs. Brown said hesitantly.
“Grandpa?” Blanca took a towel and wiped the corner of her mouth, in fact, for Old Mr. Grant, at first Blanca was completely treating him as her grandfather. Blanca lacked the warmth of family, and at that time followed Matthew home to see her grandfather kind-hearted, she liked it very much.
Only, later on, Grandpa seemed to be getting more and more critical of herself …
“I’ll be right there.”
Blanca wasn’t sure what Old Mr. Grant was looking for her, but after all, she was an elder, so she couldn’t keep the old man waiting.
Blanca immediately finished washing up, changed a moderate clothes, the upper body is a white sweater, the following is jeans, the whole person is not like those a luxury family of the thousand as very delicate and beautiful, but also is particularly refreshing.
When Blanca came downstairs, she saw Old Mr. Grant sitting on the sofa, seemingly talking to Mrs. Brown, and when she saw him go over, Old Mr. Grant put down his cup of tea.
“Grandpa.”
“You’re home?”
“Well …”
Blanca tugged on the corner of her dress with some formality, Old Mr. Grant gave Mrs. Brown a look and told her to go about her business, before she dropped her eyes on Blanca again.
In fact, although Blanca is not the most outstanding girl, but also can not be faulted.
Old Mr. Grant was very appreciative of this little girl before …
However, it does not mean that it is the same now.
“You sit down.”
“Okay.” Blanca sat down and squeezed out a smile, and sure enough, Old Mr. Grant began to ask, “Matthew has been with you these past few days?”
“Yes, Grandpa, is something going on?” Blanca is not a fool, on the contrary because of her experience as a child, her ability to read people’s words is still there.
Yesterday just back Matthew was called away by the old man, and now the old man himself came over, Blanca would not be too optimistic.
As expected, the old man’s eyes suddenly cold down, “Do you know where Jim has gone?”
“I don’t know.”
Blanca’s heart stuttered.
She did not know what Matthew had done to Jim, but since the old man had asked, Blanca could not help but worry.
Could it be Matthew again …
“Jim is missing, and I think that this matter has to do with you.”
