Chapter 72: She Called Madame Moore as Grandma
Shirley was stunned and turned around, looking at Scarlett.
Scarlett’s smile was so sweet, and she placed her hand onto Shirley’s hand, gently stroking it, “Is it
possible for you being with my grandson?”
“Erm…” Shirley’s face was blushing instantly.
Jasmine chuckled, “Madame Moore, how can you ask a girl like this? She’s shy already.”
Scarlett laughed, patting her mouth, and said, “Look, grandma is getting muddled, can’t even speak
properly. Paisley, I really like you. Why don’t you consider Bryan?”
Shirley was dumbfounded, looking at Scarlett. She was going red in the face. Shirley touched her ears
and said, “Madame Moore…”
“Call me grandma.”
Shirley was astonished by Scarlett’s words again. Were all the older adults nowadays being so open,
not to mention a wealthy old lady too. Shouldn’t she pick her granddaughter-in-law? Shirley was a
mother of two children.
Jasmine laughingly added, “Miss Thomas, just give it a call. The Moore family was blessed with male
children. Madame Moore only had one daughter, and to the young master’s generation, it was all boys.
Madame Moore was crazy to have a granddaughter.”
Shirley chuckled, feeling embarrassed inside to say it out, as she was Bryan’s grandmother. But seeing
Scarlett’s pitiful look, Shirley then said out awkwardly, “Grandma.”
“Good girl.” Scarlett was delighted, patting Shirley’s hand, and asked, “What did you want to tell
grandma just now?”
“You can’t force someone to love you. But I’ll try my best to preserve this relationship if it really comes
to the point where the two of us love each other. Do you think so, grandma?” Shirley had done talking,
throwing the question back to Scarlett.
Scarlett should have understood what Shirley said. As long as the one Shirley liked and the other also
liked her, she wouldn’t let go of it. And that was what she had intended to do. But Bryan was still far
from that point right now.
Scarlett nodded, “You’re right. You’re right.”
“Madame Moore, we have been out here for quite a while. It’s time to go back.” Jasmine looked at her
watch and said.
“Alright. Let’s go back.”
After returning to the villa, Shirley went straight to the study to look for Bryan. The door was opened as
she walked to the study.
Jordan came out from inside and greeted Shirley. He then glanced at the man inside, secretly praying
that Mr. Moore had better not take out his prenuptial agreement and show it to Miss Thomas.
Shirley saw Jordan’s suspicious look as she walked into the room puzzlingly.
Bryan was still doing his paperwork, looking very serious. However, it was time for him to take a rest
now.
“Mr. Moore, it’s 9.30, and you should go to bed now.”
At that moment, Bryan stood up and walked towards Shirley, “I’ve something to show you.”
He handed her a piece of paper that he had written, “Have a look.”
“What’s this?” Shirley took the paper and opened it, looking at the words on it, “I, Bryan Moore, am
willing to marry Paisley Thomas. I hereby swear that if I, Bryan Moore, do anything that goes against Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
our marriage, all my property under my name, including our children born in the future, will belong to
Miss Thomas. And I will be swept away from the Moore family. But, during the period of my fidelity to
the marriage, Miss Thomas shall obey Mr. Moore’s orders…”
Seeing the word ‘orders,’ Shirley read it repeatedly to make sure that she wasn’t wrong. Bryan was
such a psycho…
She tore it into several halves before even finish reading it. She smashed it into the dustbin and said in
a fierce tone, “Bryan Moore, can you stop being childish? A marriage isn’t just a child’s play.
Furthermore, how much do you know about me before wanting to marry me?”
Bryan was stunned, staring at the agreement that she had torn to shreds, with his face darkened. He
turned around, picking up the agreement from the bin, and said, “How could I not understand you.
You’re bad-tempered and having two children. I don’t even mind being a stepfather.”
Shirley didn’t know whether to laugh or cry hearing his words. He didn’t understand her at all. She
looked away and sneered.
“What are you laughing at?” Bryan frowned, pointing her face.
However, Shirley stepped back quickly. She looked up at him and saw there were tears in his eyes, “It’s
time for bed.”
Shirley was flustered, turning around, and walked out of the study. She wouldn’t be able to resist it if
this continued.
Shirley left the Moores’ Manor early the next day morning.
Bryan walked to the window sill, looking at the car driving out the Moores’ Manor, and he was
sorrowful.
A knock sounded outside the door, with Jordan coming in and said, “Mr. Moore, we have received Mr.
Stewart’s invitation to a banquet.”
Bryan turned around, glanced at him, and nodded.
“Then, should we inform Dr. Thomas?” Dr. Thomas was the reason for contacting Arthur in the first
place.
Bryan looked down and said, “No need!”
Shirley definitely didn’t want to attend any more dinner parties with him. Let’s wait until he invited Mr.
Stewart to the Moore family.
On the other hand, Shirley had received a call too. A long-lost name popped up on the screen. She
was out of sorts looking at Kevin’s name, and she tapped on the speakerphone, answering the call.
A low voice came out of the phone, “Shirley.”
“Kevin.” Shirley was a bit agitated. Both Kevin and Mildred had helped Shirley during her most
challenging time, and her feelings for Kevin were way more than just brother and sister.
Back then, Kevin had been by her side, taking care of her and her two children, just like doing the roles
of a father. He was the light to her darkness…
However, Shirley became busier soon, and the two became less in touch gradually.
“I’m back in the country.” His voice was deep and slightly hoarse but melodious.
Shirley’s heart tightened up, and she smiled, “Where are you now? Do you want me to pick you up?”
“No need. Mr. Stewart will pick me up at the airport. Mr. Stewart will host a banquet at Phoenix
Restaurant, and there’s still other brothers and sisters in the country too. Come and join us. Bring
Jacob and Emma along too. I haven’t seen you guys for a long time.” Kevin said gently.
Shirley was naturally happy hearing this news. Although she didn’t like noisy and lively banquets, she
still had to show respect to Mr. Stewart.
“Alright. I’ll be there.”
“Okay…” Kevin answered. The two of them fell into a long silence. It was probably because they hadn’t
seen each other for too long and not even in contact. It was inevitable that they were rusty.
After a moment, Kevin asked, “Have you met him?”
