Judging from Arthur’s attitude, it could be seen that Gavin was not in a good mood either. However, Talitha had a favor to ask, so she forced a smile and said, “I’m here to see grandpa!”
“He doesn’t want to see you. Go back,” Arthur drove her away without mercy.
“Please let me see him! I have something important to tell him!” she did not expect that she would end up pleading shamelessly like this one day.
“Miss Anderson, he is very angry and sad because of what your mother and your sister have done, so he will treat your whole family with animosity. Please leave!” Arthur was not merciful at all and shut the door in her face.
She did not expect to be so unwelcomed, so she bit her lip and took out her mobile phone to call Gavin, but he did not pick up.
After several consecutive calls were rejected, she got ready to leave in dejection. However, just as she turned around, the sound of a car engine came from behind her.
She saw Raymond driving back.
She hadn’t seen him since the last time she had schemed against him and Valeria.
She was guilty, so she always tried to avoid crossing paths with him. However, she had no time to hide from this sudden meeting, thus she greeted him awkwardly, “Hi, Raymond!”
She thought that he would ignore her, but he unexpectedly smiled at her and said, “Why don’t you come in if you’re here?”
She was very surprised at his gentle attitude. Didn’t he hate her?
He had always been a very gentle person. When they had a good relationship in the past, he would never say anything about them even if she and Natasya had done something wrong. Was he legitimately not angry at her?
As she thought about it, she said to him miserably, “I’m here to see Grandpa, but Arthur won’t let me in.”
“Grandpa doesn’t want to see you? It’s probably because of Natasya… She went too far this time. How can she do something like that?” he sighed.
“Raymond, you know me best! I am different from her. Whatever she has done has nothing to do with me.”
As she tried to dissociate herself from her sister, Raymond sneered in his heart, “Such a vicious and shameless person… Does she really think that I am so easy to fool?”
“Whatever. I’ll continue to let her think that I’m easy to fool,” he thought to himself, and then he sighed and said, “Talitha, Grandpa is angry now, so don’t waste your time to meet him. Go back.”
“Raymond, can you help me persuade him?”
“I can’t help you. You know his temper too. He won’t listen to anyone else when he’s not feeling it. All you can do is wait until he cools down,” he said helplessly.
“I really do have something urgent to tell him!”
“Tell me about it! Maybe I can help you.”
She hesitated for a moment, and he immediately said, “It’s alright if you don’t want to tell me. Just come next time, okay?”
“Wait a minute, Raymond, can you actually help me?”
“Of course! You’re different from Natasya, and I’ve always treated you as my younger sister. Don’t you know that you’re even closer to me than Valeria?”
It was true that he had always been good to her. She looked around and opened her car door, “Come inside my car, and I’ll tell you!”
He followed her into the car, and she lowered her voice and said, “Raymond, I’m here to tell Grandpa that I’m pregnant.”
“Oh? You are pregnant? Whose child is it?” he already knew the truth, but he still pretended to be surprised.
“It’s Hardy’s! That b*stard is ignoring me now after he did this to me… I didn’t expect myself to get pregnant,” she said as tears welled up in her eyes.
“Don’t cry!” he immediately took a tissue and handed it to her. She wiped the corners of her eyes, “Raymond, what do you think I shall do now?”
“Hm… Hardy has to be responsible for you!”
“But he doesn’t even answer my phone calls! How can he be responsible?” she wiped the corners of her eyes again to look pitiful.
“How can he be so shameless? You need to tell Grandpa about this and let him help you!” he said as he reached out to open the door.
After opening the door, he suddenly stopped, “Grandpa is very angry now because of Natasya, so he’s probably also angry with you. It’s not the best time to tell him about it. He’ll probably lump you together with your sister if you tell him now. Then, he will definitely not help you.”
She knew that he was telling the truth, but she was very anxious. Without Gavin’s help, she would not be able to change Hardy’s mind, “What shall I do?”
“Let me think about it! Hold on,” he frowned and pretended to think for a while, “Does Hardy completely ignore you and not pick up your calls anymore?”
“Yes!”
“Then, this is hard to deal with! If he’s willing to answer your phone and meet you, then there may be a way. Now that he doesn’t want to see you, there is nothing you can do,” he sighed.
“Do you have any ideas?” she asked.
“I have one, but it’s very hard to carry out. Hardy must be willing to meet you for it to work. If he doesn’t want to meet you, then there’s no other way,” he looked troubled.
“I have a way to let him come to see me. Tell me about your plan first,” she was now extremely desperate.
“This is what I’m thinking, if he is ignoring you and not picking up your calls, then it means that he doesn’t want to be responsible for the baby.”
“Yes, that’s why I’m looking for Gavin, but he refuses to see me.”
“Well, as long as you are willing to be cruel to Hardy, there is a way to force him to be responsible for you. Talitha, will you be able to do that?” he asked.
“Erm… Raymond, are you thinking of physically hurting him? I’m pregnant with his child, so if I hurt him…”
Talitha had sincere feelings for Hardy, so she was actually worried that Raymond would hurt him, but Raymond shook his head and said, “What are you thinking? I’m not the kind of person who will hurt people. I just want to help you and your child. My goal is to let Hardy take responsibility for you, not to harm him.”
“Well, what do you want to do?” she asked.
He looked around and lowered his voice, “Well, you tell Hardy that you are pregnant. If he doesn’t answer your calls, you can tell Paisley about it and let her pass on the message. Then, he will definitely meet you and we can decide what to do from then on.”
She sighed, “Raymond, that’s a good idea, but even Paisley isn’t answering my calls now, and she has also been avoiding me, so I can’t tell her about it.”
“This is easy to deal with. I’ll arrange for someone to investigate her whereabouts, then I’ll tell you where and when to meet her to talk about the pregnancy. Don’t worry, I will definitely help you!”
