Chapter 1561


    Without any warning, a torrential rain started to fall. The rain was beating the windows and it made a loud noise. The situation of the cars on the road


    became even more chaotic, causing one''s heart to tighten


    Fortunately, Joseph Grant''s convoy had turned onto a road with fewer people, which was directly used for driving to the Vice—President''s Pce. No


    matter how heavy the rain, it would not be affected


    After passing through countless sentry booths, the car stopped in front of the living room''s entrance. Warren Hilton quickly went down and opened the


    door for Joseph


    Joseph Grant held onto a document in his hand, and got out of the carriage. He said to Warren Hilton: "The rain is so heavy, why don''t you let them


    alle in for a cup of tea, there''s no need to rush back."Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    "Alright, mister, I will bring them to the side hall to sit. Quickly go and take a look at Miss Miller.” Warren Hilton was very grateful for Joseph Grant''s


    kindness and immediately nodded


    Joseph Grant made a sound of acknowledgement, and quickly walked into the living room. As he looked around, he did not see the familiar figure.


    Then he quickly walked towards the stairs.


    Up the stairs, Joseph Grant instinctively walked towards his bedroom, because recently, this woman seemed to enjoy staying in his room and had left


    the room that belonged to her.


    The moment he stepped into the room, Joseph Grant immediately saw the bundle that was propped up under the nket. A ray of bright light could


    still be seening from within.


    The handsome man frowned. What was this woman doing hiding under the nket?


    As Alvina Miller had been in an extremely sealed space with paper towels stuffed in her ears, she did not know that Joseph Grant had entered. She


    lacked at the photos she had taken, and she was so happy that she looked like an idiot, bing more and more excited.


    Just when Alvina Miller finished flipping through an album and decided to read it again, the nket above her head was lifted by a big palm


    She raised her panic—stricken eyes to meet with the man’s deep eyes. The way Alvina Miller was lying on the ground was extremely seductive, and


    the man was looking at her.


    "What are you looking at? You are so happy? " When the man saw her lying on her stomach with a small shlight in her mouth, he couldn''t help but


    raise the corner of his mouth and bend down to look with her.


    “Your album." Alvina Miller quickly spat out the small shlight andughed dryly.


    Joseph Grant''s handsome face froze, he immediately extended his palm and snatched the album away: "Don''t look it. there is nothing."


    "It''s really great. You were so cute when you were a kid. " Seeing that the man was embarrassed, Alvina Miller wanted to snatch the album away, but


    she immediately reached out and snatched it back: "Why not let me see it? Is there some secret behind it? "


    "No secrets." Joseph Grant immediately replied


    "Is that so?" Alvina Miller''s finger quickly went to the back of the album and flipped through it to find a picture of Joseph Grant and a girl around the


    same age sitting on a seaside swing. Alvina Miller immediately pointed with her little hand: "Who is she? You never mentioned her to me. You took


    three pictures, and one of it that you were holding hands. "


    Joseph Grant''s handsome face flushed red. He quickly sat to the side and exined in a low voice: "She''s the daughter of my father''s friend. We met


    each other when we worked together back then.”


    "OK..." Alvina Miller nced at him meaningfully: "Just a friend? A friend that you could hold hands with...I understand.”


    “Alvina, what are you trying to say?” Joseph Grantughed helplessly, and reached out to pinch her pouting cheeks: "At that time, we were only


    thirteen years old, and didn''t understand any kind of rtionship between a man and a woman. Moreover, I had always treated her as my younger


    sister, and after she settled down with her parents outside of the country, we basically hadn''t met each other much."


    "I envy her." Alvina Miller lowered her head and bluntly said.


    "Why?" Joseph Grant''s handsome face was filled with surprise.


    "No reason, I''m just envious of her. I''m jealous that she got to know you so early and even went through such a beautiful period of youth with you."


    Alvina Miller sighed softly, a look of loss on her face.


    Joseph Grant didn''t know whether tough or cry and hugged her in his embrace. He kissed her forehead with his thin lips: "When you were young,


    you definitely had some good boys with you, right?


    "I don''t have any. At that time, I was a loner and didn’t have any friends." Alvina Miller retorted in a low voice.


    Joseph Grant believed her words because she had lost her father at that time.


    "The past is the past, now is the most important moment. Alvina, in the future, we will be together, you will no longer be alone, and I will no longer be


    friends with other women, okay?” Joseph Grant could only console her.


    Alvina Miller buried her face deep in his chest. and like a kid who had been coaxed, she nodded.


    At this moment, the rain was patting on the window outside, Joseph Grant ced the document case to the side and released his arms to hold her


    tighter.


    "Did you see today''s news?" Joseph Grant asked her in a low voice.


    Alvina Miller was stunned for a moment, then shook her head: "No, I was looking at a book on your bookshelf today. I''m addicted to it and didn''t pay


    much attention to the news. What''s wrong, did something big happen?"


    "I told you before that Old President


    had a capableésonfidant by his side.


    It was a cousin of mine from far


    away. Shedied today." Joseph = =>


    Grant''s : dyes were tightly shut, andit


    was hard to tell if he was feeling


    pained or sad from betweenhis


    brows. After all, to him, the Sister


    May could be consideredas a


    mentor in his entire life, but he never


    expected that she would end up like


    this.


    "How did she die?" As expected, Alvina Miller jumped in shock and quickly struggled out of his embrace as she asked with astonishment.


    “Maybe she felt that she had been


    abandoned byQld President, she


    was not willigsg, and wanted to make


    herst stand. She kidnapped one of


    piano teacher''s son, and she was


    killed bythe people that Old oO


    Presta ident sent. Do you know-who


    hired the piano teacher?" Seeing her


    IS58king at him with her cléar eyes,


    Joseph Grant couldn''t help but want


    to tease her again. He liked to be


    watched by her so seriously.


    "Who is it?" Alvina Miller didn''t know that this man would actually tease her at this time. Her beautiful eyes widened a little as her gaze became more


    serious, like a kitten waiting to be spoiled by its master.


    Joseph Grant pursed his lips, he really wanted to kiss her beautiful eyes.


    “It was my good friend, Edwards


    Wayne. He invited the piano teacher


    for his daughter. Sister May


    threatened teki I Edwards’ s


    daughter, fot, she would kill her —


    son. T hat teacher had a conscience,


    and tole-Edwa ds about this matter,


    causit Sister May to be-é angry


    anc: {tie her son upasa hostage. On


    one hand, she knew that she had no


    other choice, and on the other hand,


    she wanted to put Old President to


    death before she died, which was


    the news that shocked the entire


    country today. Joseph Grant


    endured the thirst in his heart and


    helped her resolve her doubts in the


    end.


    Alvina Miller became anxious and asked anxiously: "Is that child alright?”


    "It''s fine, it''s saved." The man gently caressed her hair. "It''s a good thing that the child is fine. Otherwise, this incident would have been terrible.”


    Alvina Miller couldn''t help but heave a sigh of relief, and leaned back against his chest. closed his eyes and said: "These people are too crazy, then


    will the Old President be affected because of this?"


    "Of course. He’s already worried.” Joseph Grant answered her in a low voice, but he hid some things, such as the condition that Old President


    wanted to discuss with him


    "If the Old President was not selected, he would definitely be angered to death." Alvina Miller could not help but mock him


    However, Joseph Grant gave a coldugh: "His oue is already decided. This is his own choice, and he can''t me anyone else."


    Alvina Miller nodded his head: "Yes, the thing one does will be looked by the god. Just now. those who have done something shameful, should be


    afraid of thunder and lightning .”


    Joseph Grant chuckled. "Yes, of course they will be afraid."


    Alvina Miller suddenly thought back to what she said in her mind. She could not help butugh and ask Joseph Grant: "Are you afraid?"


    Joseph Grant was startled. "Why should I be afraid?"


    "Because you promised me so many things." Alvina Miller''s smile deepened.


    Joseph Grant could not help butugh out loud: "You''re afraid that I would not be able to fulfill my promise, aren''t you?"


    "I don''t think so.” Alvina Miller quickly curled her lips.


    Joseph Grant suddenly pushed her down onto the bed, pressing her body down, and said: "That''s what you think.”


    Alvina Miller did not expect him to suddenly do this to his. scaring her to the point that his body trembled. Heughed continuously: “Alright, I''ve


    thought of it this before, can you get up first? It isn''tfortable like this." Joseph Grant''s serene eyes instantly darkened and his voice also became


    a bit softer: "You''re so soft that I don''t even want to get up."


    "You ..." Alvina Miller blushed.
