Chapter 1239 Phone Call

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

Meanwhile, in the Clark family. Helen was sitting in the living room watching TV when the phone rang and she picked it up. Meadow’s cheerful voice could be heard, “Hello, Helen!”
Helen frowned and replied coldly when she heard Meadow’s voice, “Hello, Mrs. Davis! Is there anything going on?”
Meadow knew how cold Helen treated her, but she still smiled and said, “I specially called you to congratulate you. The Clark family is going to have a new grandchild!”
Helen was stunned. “Mrs. Davis, are you kidding me?”
“It’s not a joke. It’s true! I just heard that the daughter of the Floyd family was pregnant with Richard’s child. This is a great joy! I’ll congratulate you right now. The Floyd family is a big family, and Richard is a good match for the Angel as well. With such a powerful relative like the Floyd family, the Clark family will definitely become even more successful in the future!”
When did the Clark family ever depend on others? Helen was furious when she heard Meadow’s words, so she sneered and said, “I don’t know where you heard that the so-called heiress of the Floyd family is pregnant with Richard’s child. Did she personally tell you about it? If not, please be careful with your words. The Floyd family does not get involved in shameful things and they won’t let a woman like you slander them!”
Meadow had made a fool of herself and she felt uncomfortable. She sneered and said, “Of course, I heard about this from my most reliable source, so I immediately told you. I came to tell you out of kindness, but you don’t seem to appreciate it.”
“What? Haha! I’ve never believed in things without evidence Besides, let me remind you that the Clark family has never relied on anyone to get to our position. We’ve put in a lot of effort and your so-called support is what cowards would rely on. We don’t need it because we’ve always done everything openly!”
Meadow was irritated by Helen’s words, so she could do nothing but hang up the phone resentfully. She suppressed the anger in her heart and sent a message to Azalea. “I’m so angry! I told Helen that Angel was pregnant, but she scolded me!”
“Don’t be mad. Aunt Helen is right to scold you and it means that she’s very angry now. We’ve achieved our goal of making her angry because she’ll call Richard to ask for the confirmation soon. We can just watch the drama unfold.”
Meadow looked at Azalea’s message and calmed down. “It’s not that simple. According to common sense, Helen should be happy after hearing that Angel is pregnant with Richard’s child. It’s strange for her to be angry.”
Azalea comforted her. “Helen is a little arrogant, so she got angry because you said that she wanted to get close to the Floyd family. I think that she will be very happy now. Although Angel is not very good, she is still the daughter of the Floyd family. Moreover, she is pregnant with Richard’s child. No matter what, Helen will take it seriously. Just wait and see if you don’t believe me,.”
Helen immediately sent a message to Azalea after that. “Azalea, are you busy now?”
Azalea immediately told Meadow about it, “Aunt Helen just sent me a message and she should be asking me about Richard and Angel. I’ll deal with her first, so just wait for my message.”
Azalea informed Helen immediately. “Hi Auntie, I’m free now. What can I do for you?”
Helen replied, “You’re close with Angel, aren’t you? I want to ask about her.”
“Angel? I was just about to tell you about her. Aunt, I heard that Angel is pregnant with Richard’s child. Do you know about this?”
“I don’t, but I just heard Meadow talk about it. Can you confirm that Angel is pregnant?”
“I don’t know if it’s true. I heard from my aunt that Angel found out that she was pregnant in the hospital. She admitted that the child is Richard’s. I heard that Mr. Floyd and her grandparents were very angry. Helen, you have to make plans if this is true.”
Helen didn’t believe what Meadow said, but she had no choice but to believe Azalea. It was not a small matter for Angel to be pregnant with Richard’s child, so she had to ask Richard about the situation and discuss the countermeasures.
Meanwhile, in the dining room. Fandrey looked at Braelynn’s expressionless face with a flattering smile on his face. “Braelynn, are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll help you order.”
Braelynn’s attitude was cold. “Whatever!”
“Then I’ll order a bit of everything.”
Braelynn frowned when she heard Fandrey’s words. “But we won’t be able to finish all the food we ordered. It’s not good to waste!”
“Then…” Fandrey didn’t know what to do and Braelynn took the menu when she saw the careful smile on his face. “I’ll order!”
Fandrey felt relieved and handed the menu to Braelynn. She then ordered two of her favourite dishes and two for Fandrey, who smiled brightly when he saw that Braelynn had ordered his favourite dishes.
His granddaughter was really different and she still thought of him even if she was unhappy. She was completely unlike Angel, who had never cared about others.
As he thought to himself, Braelynn, had a cold expression on her face and said in a stiff tone while she sat opposite him, “Did you ask me to come here today for anything other than having dinner?”
“Yes, I have something to tell you after dinner.”
Braelynn ignored the smile on Fandrey’s face. “I still have some work to do in the company and I have to leave after dinner. If you have anything to say, just tell me now!”
“Why are you so busy? What I want to say is not important, so let’s eat first. I’ll send you back to the company after that and we’ll talk on the way.”
“Why do you want to take me to the company? My brother said that we’re in a critical period of time and we can’t expose our relationship. What if outsiders suspect us and ruin my brother’s plan when they see us together?” Braelynn was somewhat upset.
“I didn’t think of that. Then, I’ll ask the driver to send you back.”
“No, I drove here.” Braelynn refused directly.
“Um…” Fandrey’s face stiffened. Braelynn had treated him fairly well that day when they were having dinner with William and Valeria. However, the situation today was so hard to handle. If he knew, he would have called Valeria over.
On second thought, he couldn’t hope for Valeria and William to make peace forever.
Braelynn must have some dissatisfaction and resentment towards him. He needed to slowly resolve her frustrations and this wasn’t something another person could help him with.
Fandrey thought about it and smiled. “I came to you today mainly to talk about your living conditions. It’s not a big deal for you to stay under someone else’s roof, but I bought you a house on the Southern Bay. I wanted to take you to see it.”
