Chapter 32
Grandpa Dave was relieved after hearing that Molly agreed to have lunch together. “See you later then,”
he said.
“Sure, Grandpa,” Molly responded with a smile. After hanging up, Molly went on to prepare the
supplements she had bought for Dave to nourish his health. She was not planning to bring her triplets
over because she did not want them to meet anyone in the May family other than her grandfather.
“I need to go out for a while. Be good and stay at home. Don’t go anywhere.” Molly exhorted the triplets
to stay put at home. The three of them responded unanimously, “Okay!”
Molly took the present and went to the restaurant. It was a high-end eatery they booked. The
environment was pleasant, and there was even a live band performing. The place was quiet and relaxed.
Molly followed the direction and went into a private room after she arrived. She then saw her grandfather
and Nathan, who had a stolid face.
She nodded out of courtesy and took the initiative to greet them, “Hello, Grandpa. Hi, Nathan,
Nathan was fairly surprised when he saw how much Molly had changed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMolly had appeared tacky and shabby when they first met. She looked exactly like a country bumpkin.
Back then, she would look at her surrounding timidly and feel uncomfortable in every place she went. But
the current Molly was fashionable, exuding an almost invisible aura of confidence. She looked neither
subservient nor arrogant, and she was not acting over friendly either. She was stunningly different!
Nathan nodded lightly in response before he asked, “What do you want to eat? Is there anything you
don’t want to take?”
“Anything. I’m not a diet,” Molly responded casually. “Just get whatever grandpa likes to eat. Order
something light and soft.” After saying that, she got up thoughtfully and poured Grandpa Dave a cup of
tea. Grandpa Dave would be delighted every time he saw Molly. He asked, “Are you used to staying here
after returning from overseas? Why didn’t you come with my three great-grandchildren? “It’s been some
time since I last saw them. I wonder if they have grown any taller. Are they fine with the food here?
“How’s your new place? I actually have a house in the city. Why don’t you guys move in there?
Nathan frowned after hearing what Grandpa Dave said. ‘Did Grandpa offer Molly a house without her
asking at all?! I have no issue if it’s just about a house. The thing is that she pulled some tricks to make
Grandpa offer it himself!”
“They’re doing just fine. They kept saying that they missed you too. The new place is decent, and it’s
quite spacious too. I’m fine with living there. As for that house, you should just keep it
for yourself,” Molly pronounced every word clearly. She did not sound like she wanted to butter up
Grandpa Dave at all, and she even rejected her Grandpa Dave’s offer directly. A hint of shock flashed in
Nathan’s eyes as he started to get suspicious of what his mother told him. ‘Did mom lie to me?’ He
straightened his clothes and sat uprightly on his seat. His bright gaze fell on Molly as he started to check
her out blatantly. He was trying to see through her intention. Molly noticed it, but she pretended to be
ignorant of it as she talked to Grandpa Dave. “How are you recently? Are you feeling well? You should
avoid sweet and greasy food. You don’t want to have a relapse. Your three precious great-grandchildren
will start nagging you by then.
Grandpa Dave burst out laughing. “Okay, I got it. I’ll watch my diet from now on.”
All the dishes were served after a while.
“Grandpa, Molly, all the dishes are here. Dig in.” Nathan politely told the two of them to start eating
Grandpa Dave helped his granddaughter with the food and filled her bowl with everything she liked to
eat.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMolly was being considerate; she did the same for Grandpa Dave. “Grandpa, eat more of this. This is
good for your health, and it tastes nice too.”
Both of them were enjoying themselves.
Nathan took the chance to initiate a conversation with Molly. “Molly, I heard grandpa say that you’ve got
quite an achievement.”
“It’s nothing too special, “Molly responded nonchalantly.
Perhaps Nathan failed to notice her estrangement. He continued, “It must be hard for you to raise three
children alone as a woman, right? You can come to me anytime if you ever need help with your
expenses.”
Molly was surprised when she heard what he said. She did not expect that there would be somebody
else other than Grandpa Dave to care about her. And that person was Nathan May!
“We both know that grandpa is getting old. Let’s just not bother him.” Molly heard Nathan say that before
she could recollect herself.
She was shocked. She understood what Nathan was implying. She could sense that not only Nathan
was not caring about her, but he also thought that she was leeching off her grandpa.
