Chapter 374 Betty Taking Her Leave Jocelyn pulled Betty into her arms again while Betty obediently allowed Jocelyn to caress her like a doll. “Baby, were you scared just now?” Jocelyn kissed the tip of Betty's nose and asked gently.
Betty shook her head and said furiously, “Betty is not a coward. Grandma Grey did the right thing. Grandma Grey is the best!” Jocelyn’s red lips curled up happily. Then, she said, “But you secretly praised Grandpa Jaye, saying he was the best last time. There was this one twhen | heard you praising Grandpa Lyons. And last time...” Betty blushed and avoided eye contact like a guy who was caught cheating. She said sweetly, “No, no. Grandma Grey, you must have misheard me. You are the best. Betty loves Grandma Grey the most!” As she spoke, she gave Jocelyn a kiss. Jocelyn immediately narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. At this moment, she felt so blissfull Isabella narrowed her eyes and looked at them. She looked amused. Betty would definitely be good at coaxing people when she grew up. She could already imagine how many boys would fall for her sweet words Seeing that Jocelyn was only playing with the child and not casting them a glance, the Grey family stood rooted to the ground, feeling awkward.
However, they could not bear to leave at all.
Zachary and Hayden's wives were so shocked by today’s events that their minds went blank.
Zachary had never met Jocelyn before. His hatred for Jocelyn was influenced by his grandfather and father.
However, that feeling was not firm. He wasn’t affected by the Delusion Bug. As long as he had a clear mind, -he would know how to make a judgment.
Therefore, after Cecilia exposed her true colors and revealed the truth, he no longer had any ill feelings toward Jocelyn. Instead, he felt curious and sympathetic.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMore than 20 years ago, Hayden married his wife. She didn’t spend much twith Jocelyn, so there was no conflict between her and Jocelyn. Patriarch Grey, Hayden, and Cecilia were the ones who spread malicious rumors about her.
As the daughter-in-law who married into the Grey family, she naturally had no thoughts about Jocelyn. Patriarch Grey and Hayden were different.
Their emotions had already calmed down, but the calmer they were, the crueler the truth was. It was so painful that their internal organs felt numb.
Hayden looked at Jocelyn and thought, “Once upon a time, | also felt sorry for my sister. When my father punished her and made her kneel in the ancestral hall when she was young, | even secretly sent her food.” When he was young, his heart was pure. He loved his sister a lot.
However, when Cecilia clater, he beccolder toward Jocelyn under Cecilia's instigation. Soon, they grew further apart.
“Jocelyn...” Hayden called out sadly.
Jocelyn acted as if she did not hear him or care at all. She was totally ignoring him.
Landon looked at Jocelyn with heartache. He was also very furious at the Grey family. Disappointed, he approached Patriarch Grey and Hayden before saying, “Everyone, you should go back.” Hayden grabbed Landon’s arm and said, “Landon, | know you are close to Jocelyn. Please persuade her. We... We know we were wrong. Please persuade her. We're willing to make it up to her.” Landon was silent. He smiled mockingly and said, “Mr. Grey, don’t persuade others to be kind without knowing how much they suffered. Everything that she has experienced is not something that can be made up for. This is between her and the Grey family. | won't interfere.” Hayden looked at Landon, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.
He looked at Jocelyn dejectedly. Jocelyn did not even look at them.
Patriarch Grey stared at Jocelyn. At this moment, he seemed to have aged a lot. His entire body was hunched. He looked at Jocelyn deeply and said hoarsely, “Hayden, let's go.” “Father!” Hayden was shocked. He thought that his father would at least try to persuade his sister.
He looked at Patriarch Grey, Patriarch Grey only shook his head slowly at him and walked out with a tired expression.
Zachary and his mother looked at each other and said, “Dad, let's go too.” Hayden could only leave.
After exiting the door, Zachary turned around and looked at Jocelyn. He saw that Jocelyn’s eyes were filled with a gentle smile. She hugged the little girl in her arms affectionately. Obviously, that was the family she cared about Zachary’s eyes darkened as he looked at his grandfather and father, who had aged instantly. His expression was extremely complicated.
After the Grey family left, the air in the living room seemed to have freshened up.
Isabella looked at Jocelyn and said, “Master Grey, they're gone Jocelyn looked up and said, “At least they know what's good for them.” Isabella smiled it was fine as long as Master Grey did not feel uncomfortable.
She gave Betty a look and said, “Betty, you have to accompany Grandma Grey, got it?” Betty nodded seriously. His dark blue eyes were filled with obedience. “Don’t worry, Mom. Leave Grandma Grey to me!” She patted her chest confidently.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmisabella could not help but laugh. This naughty little fellow. Although she was young, she was good at coaxing people.
She glanced at Landon and pulled Draxton away.
After Isabella and Draxton left, only Landon, Jocelyn, and Betty were left in the living room.
Betty looked at the two adults. She supported her chin with her tiny hands and rolled her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.
Landon wanted to say something sweet to Jocelyn, but his mind went blank when the little girl stared at him.
In the end, he couldn't say a word.
Betty saw his awkward expression. So, she waved her tiny hand and heroically said, “Mr. Wright, is there something on your mind? Grandpa Jaye said that there's nothing that can’t be solved with just a drink. If a drink doesn’t work, have two!” Landon was speechless.
Jocelyn burst out laughing. She smiled and looked at Landon. “Landon, shall we have a drink tonight?” Landon answered, “Let's not do it at night. Let's do it now!” They carried Betty and went to find wine together.
Betty sat beside them and watched them drink and chat.
Bored, Betty propped her chin on her tiny hand and looked around. Then, she ran into the kitchen and cout with a bag of peanuts Considerately, the little girl placed the peanuts in front of Jocelyn and Landon. Then, she clapped her hands and left! “Go ahead and enjoy your drink. Grandma Grey is very scary when she is drunk!” Jocelyn thought.
She gave Landon a sympathetic look.
