Chapter 42: You Can’t Even Protect Your Own Child
“Hedy, you are so beautiful.”
“This dress was like a customized one, especially for you.”
“Here, take my credit card and I will pay for this dress.”
Crossing his arms, Wayne looked at Hedy, who looked very pretty and elegant now, and felt amazed.
On the other hand, Hedy felt disgusted, looking at the shop assistant, “I don’t think this dress fits me well, so I don’t want it.”
“Miss, you look so pretty wearing this dress. I have worked here for so long, and you are the first one who could look so good with this dark pink dress.”
The shop assistant didn’t want the client to leave, so she praised Hedy greatly.
“I am telling you the truth. If you don’t buy this dress, then no one deserves to buy it.”
Wayne had a credit card with no overdraft limit, and he gave this credit card to the shop assistant, saying generously, “I will pay for the dress.”
“No problem, sir.”
The shop assistant was so happy and took the card immediately, ready to pay the bill.
Hedy felt so grossed, leaving right now.
There were many formal dress shops in this mall.
“Hedy…”
Wayne followed her, and he tried to hold Hedy’s arms, because he had many things to talk with her.
“Don’t touch me!”
Hedy saw his hand, and she ran away quickly.
Wayne didn’t care about this, and he kept following, smiling and saying, “Hedy, it’s been three years since we met each other last time. You are more and more beautiful and I always dreamt about you lately.”
“Hedy, give me a chance. I will treat you nicely.”
Hedy clenched her fists, saying coldly and angrily, “I’ll say it for the last time. Get out of my way.”
“Hedy, let’s start over again.” Wayne kept pretending that he was a man who loved her so much.
Hedy was so angry that she laughed, “Where is your wife?”
“She was a nobody, comparing to you. In the past, I was seduced by her, but now you can trust me. As long as we are in a relationship, I can assure you that she will only be my wife legally, but I will not even look at her anymore. I will help you get back on her, OK?”
Wayne said very slowly, and tried to tempt her.
He thought that Hedy would feel moved by what he said.
After all, in the past, Hedy was a very simple girl. When they were in a relationship, he always sent her away with many excuses and then he would have sex with Kelly on the bed.
In Wayne’s view, all the women were alike.
If a man cheated on a woman, she would hate the other woman, but she would not hate the man she loved.
Now, Wayne even helped Hedy to get back on Kelly.
She would not refuse him with such a good offer.
Wayne looked at Hedy, full of confidence and lust.
However, Hedy slapped him so hard that Wayne even felt dizzy.
He was so unbelievable at Hedy, looking at Hedy who was running away.
“Hedy, you will regret this.”
Wayne was very angry and annoyed.
At this point, the shop assistant had packed the formal dress and came to him, “Sir, this is the dress that you bought.”
Wayne didn’t say anything, and took the credit card from the shop assistant, and then left.
“Sir, your dress.” The shop assistant was surprised to see Wayne leave without hesitation.
Sherry, who was also shopping in the mall, saw what happened, so she said with smile, “You can’t be serious, right? Don’t you recognize the president Wayne from the Thomas Group?”
“He is the president of the Thomas Group. Oh my god. He is so young and he is more handsome than photos.” The shop assistant felt the she had already fallen in love with him.
Sherry scolded Wayne in her mind, but she kept smiling on her face, “They are husband and wife, and they are having a fight now. I can give you their address, so you can mail the dress to their home. I am sure that he would thank you for this.”
“That’s great! Thanks a lot.” The shop assistant was very happy, and suddenly felt doubtful about her, “And you are?”
“I work for the Thomas Group, as a receptionist.”
The shop assistant was relieved now, feeling happy about making contact with the president of the Thomas Group, and she was going to mail the dress to the address Sherry provided.
“Mrs. Thomas, let me see what you will do with it!”
Sherry imagined that when Kelly received a dress that didn’t even fit her, Kelly would definitely have a big fight with Wayne, and Sherry felt pleased with her imagination.
That jerk Wayne deserved this!
Hedy left the shopping mall angrily, and she didn’t want to go shopping anymore.
She called Victor, and wanted to know where the nobility kindergarten was, because she missed Leo now. It was time to get off from school, so she wanted to pick Leo up.
At the Moores’ house.
Victor hung up on Hedy, looking at his grandpa and his son with smile.
As he expected, Leo was a nice kid that everyone would love.
Grandpa Henry was always strict, but when he saw this little kid, he liked Leo very much, and he led Leo around and he kept praising Leo.
Since Victor grew up, this was the first time that he had ever seen Grandpa Henry being so happy.
Grandpa Henry was Victor’s grandfather, and Grandpa Henry used to love him most, but now he was jealous of Leo, who drew Grandpa Henry’s attention.
What a loss!
“Sweet boy, my sweet great-grandson, let me look at you carefully.”
“Look at you! Who is your great-grandpa? He is so lucky to have a child like you!”
The housekeeper nearby was very thoughtful, nodding and saying. “You are the lucky one to have a great-grandson like him!”
“Leo, say hi to your great-grandpa.”
Although Victor was a little jealous of his son, he still urged Leo to be polite.
Leo hugged Grandpa Henry around his neck, and he even pulled Grandpa Henry’s beard, saying politely, “Great-grandpa, you look familiar to me, and I feel like I knew you before.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Hearing this, Grandpa Henry was very happy, “Of course, we are a family, so we look alike. The moment I met you, I am sure that you are my great-grandson.”
But at next moment, Grandpa Henry got angry.
“How dared you not tell me that I have a great-grandson. If I don’t ask you about this first, when do you want to tell me?”
“Grandpa Henry.” Victor explained quickly, “I think you know everything, right? You must know that I was acquainted with him just last month.”
“You can’t even protect your own child!”
Grandpa Henry smiled at Leo, while he was angry at Victor.
Victor dared not to retort.
The housekeeper took out some sweets and dessert for Leo.
Leo was not afraid, and he felt comfortable, like in his own home.
And he also fed Grandpa Henry with some dessert.
“Great-grandpa, this one is delicious, and you should try it.”
Grandpa Henry was extremely happy, and he ate the dessert on Leo’s hand, praising, “My great- grandson was indeed a nice boy!”
After saying, Grandpa Henry glared at Victor angrily again.
Grandpa Henry asked the housekeeper to take care of Leo, “Play with Leo in the garden.”
Victor was sure that Grandpa Henry wanted to talk with him now.
