She escorted her grandmother to the living room door. Her grandmother said again, “Don’t worry about me, go ahead.”
“Okay, Grandma, you rest well.” The girl stopped at the door.
After watching the elderly woman enter the living room, she turned her gaze to the middle-aged man not far away.
Jeffery was meticulous and responsible, cleaning every small part of the car thoroughly. Lisa noticed that he even used different types of cloths.
She walked towards him, filled with respect for him.
When Jeffery noticed the girl approaching, he paused his actions. Their eyes met, and she smiled at him, quickening her pace.
Jeffery stood up straight. “Hello, Lisa.” He smiled as well. After all, she was Tom’s future wife.
“Hello, Jeffery.” The girl’s voice was sweet and soft, full of admiration. “Grandma said you are one of Tom’s closest people.”
This was something Jeffery took pride in. He smiled.
“So, I want to ask you a bit about Tom.” The girl added with a smile, “Grandma allowed it.”
Jeffery’s expression was gentle and smiling. He had noticed earlier that Lisa had been playing chess with the old lady.
It was also Lisa who had accompanied the old lady back to the living room.
So Lisa coming to him naturally had the old lady’s permission.
He thought that any girl who could gain the old lady’s approval must be outstanding.
He heard that the engagement was set for the day after tomorrow. Jeffery felt happy for Tom and held great respect for this girl in front of him.
“Lisa, what do you want to know? Feel free to ask.” Jeffery showed no airs and treated her as one of their own.
This made Lisa very happy!
“Does this car still need cleaning?” She was very attentive. “I can help you clean it.”
“Oh no, Lisa. You are precious and soon to be Tom’s wife. With such a noble identity, how could you do such menial work?” Jeffery laughed. “If you have any questions, just ask. As long as I know the answers, I’ll tell you.”
As someone experienced, Jeffery had already guessed what the girl wanted to know.
She wouldn’t ask about company matters.
At most, she would inquire about Tom’s romantic status.
And his romantic status was easy to answer-he was like a blank sheet of paper.
“Tom… when did he break up with his ex?” Lisa’s voice was truly pleasant, innocent and harmless. Her beautiful eyes seemed to speak as well.
Jeffery shook his head. “He never had a girlfriend. At least in all these years I’ve looked after him, I’ve never seen any woman by his side.”
So he lied when he told Grandma he had a girlfriend?
Lisa confirmed her suspicions about Tom and felt relieved.
Seeing the happy smile on her face, Jeffery told her, “Tom is a good man. Although he doesn’t have much experience in love, he’s not clueless. His emotional intelligence and IQ are both high.”
“Thank you, Jeffery.” Lisa was genuinely happy.
Meanwhile, in an upstairs study room, Williams and Jane were watching this scene in the courtyard.
“Do you think she’s clever or not simple?” Jane smiled at the man beside her, looking at his profile and deep gaze.
Williams didn’t answer but had his own judgment in mind.
