Servants and securities were almost everywhere, and when Gloria Taylor and Kenny Clarke walked by, they all stopped and greeted.
Gloria noticed that if three or more of them were together they even bowed to her and Kenny in a line.
They were well trained. And seeing that, Gloria got even more nervous.
The estate was large.
Gloria and Kenny walked through the front yard, crossed the hall, and got into the back where Kenny’s grandfather stayed.
They stopped outside of a room, and Kenny asked the servant standing in front of the door.
“Is grandpa here?”
“Yes, sir.” He replied with delight, and he opened the door to speak to someone inside the room in a low voice.
“Sir, Master Kenny is back.”
The door was slightly opened so that the servant was able to stand there, which blocked Gloria’ s sight.
“Bring him in.” The man sounded old but still strong.
“Yes, sir.” The servant turned around and nodded to them.
Kenny took a pause.
“Let’s go.” He walked in with Gloria, holding her hand.
Inside the room, the heat was on, and it smelled like tea and ink.
Gloria saw that an old man was standing in front of the desk, writing calligraphy. Behind him was a bookshelf, and a tea set lied on the table along with the desk.
“Grandpa,” Kenny said.
The old man raised his head and caught Gloria watching. His mouth was shut closely.
Gloria averted her eyes and looked at the floor while Kenny just pulled her behind him.
“I don’t bite,” Kenny’s grandfather said. “Who is she?”
“She’s the one you will like.” Kenny raised an eyebrow a bit.
Hearing that, he jutted his chin and threw the writing brush on the desk.
“Then who the hell are you? Get the hell of out my property!” He said to Kenny.
How could he do not know who his grandson was? Gloria thought.
“Well, of course, I know he is my grandson. I’m not stupid.” Kenny’s grandfather suddenly turned to Gloria with a glare.
Gloria was astonished at his words and wondered how these people read her mind like that.
“I...I’m sorry?” She did not know how to respond.
He just stared at her for several seconds. Through the unique communication between Kenny and his grandfather, Gloria knew that they got connections and it was tight, but with him watching her like that, she still felt nervous.
Kenny patted slightly on her hand to calm her down, and encouraged by him, Gloria tried to organize her language.
“Good afternoon, Mr. Clarke. I’m Gloria. Gloria Taylor. I’m your grandson’s wife.” She said to him politely and reach her hand out to him.
He was still staring at her and seemed to have no interest to shake her hand.
Gloria swallowed her throat but kept her hand toward him.
“Good, good. I liked you, young girl. Come on. Sit down.” Suddenly the old man started to giggle like a kid and finally shook her hand.
Gloria paused and was about to turn her head to Kenny. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
“Stop minding that little bastard and sit down.”.
“Yes, sir.”
“Nah, Don’t sir me.”
And Kenny was about to sit down as well when his grandfather kicked him on the ass.
“Who the hell said you could sit down?”
“Come on, grandpa,” Kenny said with a wry smile. “Not in front of my wife.”
“I don’t care. ” He sounded quite pissed. “Ask yourself when was the last time you came to visit me.”
Kenny did not reply, and they all went quiet.
It was until now that Gloria understood why Kenny’s grandfather treated him like that before.
Kenny suspected her mother’s case was affected by some of this family, which was why he hated to come back here.
The door opened and interrupted her thoughts. She looked at the one the came in and found that it was Kenny’s father, Randy Clarke.
“Father.” He said before he came in.
Then he saw Kenny and Gloria.
“They told me my son was back and I came back to check as soon as I can, and you did! You gotta stay here tonight. Your room was clean as usual and we can have dinner.”
“Stay my ass. Get him out of here.”Kenny’s grandfather broke in and said.
...
But they stayed at last.
They had the dinner on a giant table with servants behind them in line, which made Gloria uncomfortable.
After the dinner, Randy left for business while Kenny and Gloria walked his grandfather back to his room.
They sat down in his room, and the old man handed her a red pocket, but Gloria hesitated.
“Just take it.” He put it on her lap and said no more, which was totally Kenny's style.
“Thank you” Kenny got it from his grandfather, Gloria thought.
Gloria accompanied Kenny and his grandfather for about twenty minutes and then went back to Kenny’s room to rest.
After all, Kenny had not come back here for a long time, and Gloria wanted to give them some space.
As she walked to Kenny’s room, she thought of his grandfather who accepted her as the wife of his grandson easily. That was not what she expected at all.
Gloria got to Kenny’s room as she was thinking.
This room was where Kenny Clarke lived as a child. He left aboard then, and after that, he never came back to here anymore.
She went in and found all his old stuff was still there.
Posters, a robot toy, books, and even a Gameboy.
