Xander did not know if he should laugh or cry. Ivanka could not hold back her laughter too. “Grandma, why did you say that? Xander is very level-headed.” When she said the last sentence, Michael instantly turned to her. Ivanka was a bit confused when she noticed Michael’s gaze. She wondered why he gave her a razor-sharp glare all of a sudden and wondered if she had said something wrong. Rosie frowned and said unhappily, “You and Ivan have tricked me multiple times. Both of you always talked me into getting an injection. You say it’s not painful, but after getting the injection, it was as painful as pulling my own tooth!” Xander touched the tip of his nose and said nothing. Meanwhile, Michael said calmly, “You still need to take the necessary injections.” Xander nodded cooperatively. “He’s right. I’ll be very gentle this time. This has to be the gentlest of all time.” Ivanka could not help but say teasingly, “Grandma, you need to take your injection. It’s for your health
After Xander packed all the medical tools, he sat beside Michael. Apparently, he had no intention of leaving yet. It was early in the morning, and the trio did not go to work. Instead, they stayed around in the house. Rosie looked at them in puzzlement. “Don’t you need to go to work? Why are you all staying here with me?” It was clear that they should be working at that hour. Ivanka could not help but smile. “Grandma, have you forgotten that it’s the weekend?” “Oh, it’s the weekend!” Rosie snapped out of her daze. She looked at her phone. “You’re right. My head is in a muddle.” The next second, she looked a bit excited. “That’s why you all came here to keep me company, right?” Ivanka grinned. “Yes. Aren’t you happy?” “Of course I am!” Rosie grew even more excited. She almost slammed one of her hands on her thigh. She held Ivanka’s hand tightly, then turned to Xander and Michael with a look of puzzlement. “Why are you two so free too?” Michael and Xander usually had no
Rosie immediately said with a stern face, “‘Good day, Rosie?’ You brat, you’re even starting to flirt with an old woman? Everything was fine all along, so why did you make a bet?” Ivan was puzzled. He glanced toward Michael from the corner of his eyes. When he saw that he was sitting silently, Xander gave him a look too. Ivan immediately laughed out loud. “Ahahaha. Is there anything wrong with this bet?” D*mn it. Could they not give him a heads-up after they made a bet? He had to figure out everything by himself! However, he came over because of Rosie’s condition, and if this group kept staying here instead of leaving, they had to find an excuse so that they could stay. Rosie scoffed. “Don’t you know that asking him to stay here for a day is also a form of torture for me, even if you said it’s torture for him too?” Ivan already figured out that it was something like this. Since Rosie had said this, he was even more sure about what was going on. He immediately laughed out
Even if Michael did not help him, he still had other people to help him!Ivan immediately looked at Xander. At the same time, he smiled back at Rosie. “Rosie, why don’t we talk about something else?”“Change the topic? You’re being a bad boy again! I’m giving you good advice. You’re good-looking, and you come from a good family, too. So many young girls want to get close to you. If there’s anyone you like, and if she’s nice too, you two can be together. But you can’t keep changing girlfriends like this!”When she said this, Rosie could not help but sigh.Ivan quickly gave Xander a look. But Xander acted like he did not notice. His phone suddenly rang. Then, he got up to answer it. Ivan’s expression darkened again! Once again, he looked at Michael. When Michael did not even look at him, Ivan clenched his teeth. D*mn it! He got up straight away and walked over to Michael’s side. He gritted his teeth while grabbing his arm. “It’s all because I’m sitting next to Rosie and I’m cl
“Ignore him,” Michael said coldly. This made Rosie and Ivanka even more confused. It was clear that Michael knew why Ivan was acting oddly today. However, Michael did not intend to say anything about this matter.Rosie frowned slightly. In the end, she did not say anything.Before long, Xander returned from his phone call. He went back and sat on the sofa. When he did not see Ivan, he asked in puzzlement, “Where’s Ivan?”“He went to the bathroom and hasn’t come out since. He seemed a bit off. Could you go over and check on him?” Rosie was still a little worried. Was she too harsh on him? Was that why he had not come out till then? He was a boy, after all. She could not very well follow him into the bathroom. Xander raised an eyebrow. He nodded in cooperation. “Alright.”With that, he got up and headed to the bathroom.When he reached the door, he knocked on it. “Why aren’t you out yet?”“Smoking.” The voice coming from inside was soft, but Xander could still hear the mela
He glared at Xander. There was an icy coldness seeping through from the depths of his eyes. Xander was no longer looking at the sea of flowers outside. Instead, he turned to look at Ivan and said calmly, “Yes.” “You know best what state we are in now. Rosie met her true love because things were different in her time. Can you imagine us taking someone’s hand forever? Are you kidding? Is there a woman that’s suitable for you?” Ivan’s tone was snarky. After he said this, he did not even look at Xander. In fact, he felt that he was being weird today. Why would he say something like that out of nowhere? If this got out, others would think that Xander was crazy. Ivan did not feel like smoking anymore. Neither was he interested in talking to Xander. He waited till the cigarette smoke was gone from his body before he left. It was not nice to keep occupying someone else’s bathroom like that. But Xander did not care about what Ivan thought. Instead, he said calmly, “If you weren’t
Xander was also in no mood to tease or hide anything from Ivan. He looked at him and said in a low voice, “I recognized him at a glance. He’s the third heir of the Chaput family.” Ivan instantly narrowed his eyes. He immediately growled, “Enzo Chaput?!” Xander said nothing, but he had already acknowledged it silently. Ivan’s expression grew ugly. How did he not know about this before? The next moment, he looked at Xander again, but he did not see a single hint of humor in his face. He frowned. “You…” Ivan suddenly went silent after saying that single word because he knew that Xander would never lie to him about something like that. Since he said it, then it must have happened! There was no need to ask for confirmation. “Are you feeling nervous now?” Xander looked at him calmly. Ivan’s expression changed, but he regained his composure in the next second. He shrugged and said, “What’s there to be nervous about? If there are men out there who like her, then she did we
“It’s been so long, and he’s still not done smoking?” Rosie’s eyes filled with worry and disbelief.Xander laughed again. “When his nicotine craving hits, one cigarette isn’t enough. He’ll be out soon. Now, I smell like smoke.”Rosie shook her head with resignation. “He may be young, but he shouldn’t smoke like that!”Xander nodded in agreement. “Yes, I should talk to him about quitting.”Ivanka raised an eyebrow in contemplation but said nothing. Michael remained seated on the couch. He did not seem to care about Ivan’s actions.“I need to step outside to make a call. I’ll be back soon.” With that said, Xander headed toward the door.“Go ahead.” Rosie knew that they were busy, but she did not realize that Xander simply wanted to get rid of the strong smell of tobacco. He was worried that getting close to her with the smell would harm her.About another half an hour later, Ivan came out.Xander had already “finished his call” and returned.Seeing the four of them sitting on th
