Chapter 16


    Hearing his words and looking at his smile, Alyssa was stunned to silence. What shocked her was that


    the person in charge of such a rich and powerful family was actually this much kind.


    As he raised his hand and motioned her to sit, she couldn’t help but follow his instructions. She silently


    pinched her hand, suspecting if she was dreaming.


    After a few seconds, she recovered from her shock and quickly said, “Hello, I’m Alyssa Moore.”


    This time, she wasn’t pretending to be dumb, but she was really startled by George Lawrence. Her


    heart was beating so fast that it seemed to be jump out of her chest in the next moment.


    “Don’t be shy. Now, you are my daughter-inw and a member of Lawrence family. So just make


    yourself at home.”


    As he spoke, he picked up the kettle next to him and poured her a ss of water. His eyes showing an


    unfamiliar look, most probably kindness, that she never got before.


    In the Moore Family, Jason refused to even look at her unless he was scolding her or teaching her a


    lesson. On the other hand, Aurora’s all attentions were on Skr and her brother as if she was invisible


    and her mother could not see her so ignored her.


    She had never been treated so gently by her elders, so she was a little surprised and delighted now.


    Alyssa took the ss. “Thank you, Sir.”


    “You can call me Dad just like Emmett.” George said while looking at her quietly.


    Her appearance was not very beautiful and her reactions were also very slow. But she looked simple


    and kind, exactly the woman who fitted his son’s weird temper.


    “…Dad.” Alyssa called with great difficulty.


    George gave her a smile and said apologetically. “You must be wronged because we didn’t give you a


    wedding. For that I’m really sorry. I wanted to discuss it with you and Emmett and invite you to the Old


    Manor today. But, because what happened to his mother, Emmett refused to go to the old Manor. I only


    hope that you could convince and help him more in the future.”


    The Lawrence family was arge family that had been passed down for hundreds of years, following


    the tradition of three generations living together.


    The Lawrence family was arge family that had been passed down for hundreds of years, following


    the tradition of three generations living together.


    And their Manor was one of their legacies. It was said that their old house was priceless. Once a man


    offered a 100 billion for their residence, but in the end he became a joke in the upper ss circle.


    As for Emmett’s mother, their always had been less information.


    In the kidnapping more than ten years ago, the kidnappers kidnapped Emmett and his mother.


    In the end, it was only Emmett who could be rescued by great difficulty.


    As for his mother, there were a plenty of rumors.


    Some said she was dead. Some said she was not dead and still recuperating in the hospital. And some


    others said she was defiled by the kidnappers…


    But there was a certain thing that she wouldn’t be able to see her mother-inw.


    After a long silence, Alyssa looked at George and said hesitantly, “But… I haven’t seen him yet.”


    She said thest half-sentence in a very low voice just like a mosquito. But George could still hear her.


    After finishing her words, she noticed a slight change of expression in his face.


    “Well, let’s not bother about him today.” After saying that, George didn’t ask about Emmett anymore.


    But he asked a lot of questions about her lifestyle and condition.


    Alyssa answered one by one honestly, speaking slowly, looking dull but sincere.


    About an hour of conversation, George let Owen send her back to Emmett’s vi.


    …


    The traffic was generally not very heavy at the night time, so they reached quickly.


    Owen sent her to the door of the vi, watched Alyssa go in, and then left there.


    While walking inside the vi, Alyssa could not help but remember the conversation between her and


    George. It was no doubt that his tone was light and gentle but he seemed to dig something as if he was


    trying to collect some information from her.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Well… It was not likely.


    He was trying to dig more information about Emmett then her.


    Although she hadn’t met the legendary Emmett Lawrence till now, she could feel that the rtionship


    between him and his father wasn’t as good as it was shown on the newspapers. There were many


    contradictions between them. And given that Emmett refused to go to dinner with his father and how


    George was trying to dig information from her, it clearly showed that they hadn’t talked to each other for


    a long time.


    George said that Emmett had never forgotten about his mother. But his mother might be dead when


    she was kidnapped more than ten years ago. Was it because of the kidnapping that he had a grudge


    against George?


    “Madame.”


    Alyssa was revived by the sound of the bodyguard, looking up.


    This bodyguard looked quite familiar. Oh yeah, it was he that went to her house to pick up her that day.


    “Is there something?”


    The bodyguard nodded slightly with a t tone. “Young Master Emmett wants to see you.”


    What?


    Suspecting that she heard wrong, she looked at the bodyguard and asked, “You mean Young Master


    Emmett? Emmett wants to see me?”


    “Yes, Young Master is waiting for you in the study.”
