After finishing the soup, Grandma sat and talked to Juliana for a while before going home.
Grandma stood up and said to Juliana, “Jill, you are the older sister, so if Selene makes a mistake again, you can just teach her a lesson without asking me.”
Juliana nodded readily, “I will, Grandma.”
Selene’s face was convulsed, thinking, “When did Juliana ever ask Grandma?”
Grandma said, “I also want to ask you what happened to Jayden and your friend at the mall last time?”
Juliana was puzzled, “H’m?”
Grandma glanced at Selene and said, “Now they’re breaking off their engagement because of this. It’s not a good thing after all. So I thought I’d ask you if there was some kind of misunderstanding.”
Selene and Jayden have been arguing a lot in the past few days.
However, it was not Jayden who was asking for a cancellation but Selene.
Selene said that Jayden had done her wrong and didn’t really love her, so she would call off the engagement and let him go.
Jayden kept explaining and coaxing her, but all to no avail.
The Hodges family was angry that it would be a disgrace to the Hodges family if Jayden’s engagement was called off.
The Hodges family put pressure on the Lewis family that if the engagement was called off, all other business dealings between the two families could be cut off.
For the Lewis family, it would be a big loss.
That was why Jermaine asked Grandma to bring them to Juliana and to ask Juliana to explain to them.
Juliana looked at Selene meaningfully and said with a light smile, “It was nothing. I just saw Lizzy and Jayden hugging each other with their clothes in disarray.”
Selene was upset again!
“What do you mean you saw it? It was you who made them do it!”
Jayden was too embarrassed to explain, after all, he was beaten pretty badly.
Juliana looked up and said to Grandma, “Grandma, nothing happened to them. It was probably just too hot and they felt itchy, so they cuddled to help stop the itch.”
Grandma’s face blushed. She couldn’t believe that.
Juliana then looked at Selene, “It’s true that they didn’t do anything. Don’t be angry and makeup with him.”
Selene did not really want to call off the engagement. Now that Juliana explained to her and gave her an out, she accepted it.
She smiled and said, “Given how well you know and like Jayden, it will be fine if you say it’s fine.”
With that, she reached out and took Jayden’s hand and spoke softly, “Jayden, I’m not angry anymore. Let’s get back together.”
Selene mentioned again that Juliana had been into Jayden.
She was trying to set Juliana up whenever she spoke!
Juliana looked up and smiled at them, “Selene, please get along well with Jayden. After all, you were born for each other, so don’t go to harm others.”
“You…” Selene blushed with anger and turned her head to look at Grandma pitifully, “Grandma, Jill scolded me.”
Grandma didn’t speak for her but glared at her, “Let’s go home.”
Selene was being annoying and unwelcome for talking nonsense here.
Selene left in frustration and distress.
Grandma was being partial. That was not her Grandma. That was just an old, stupid woman!
Benson walked Grandma to the door. As soon as they left, he closed the door to the room.
Juliana sat on the hospital bed.
Benson walked to Juliana after closing the door. He looked at her and said in a hoarse voice, “Mrs. Leach, the door is closed this time.”
Juliana looked up at him in confusion for a moment before she quickly remembered that their kiss had been interrupted.
Her little face flushed, “We are in a hospital. Behave yourself!”
