Chapter 107 Serves You Right, You Can’t Find a Wife
Gwenda had not seen Olivier for about three to four days since thest time she got drunk.
First of all, she was too busy and had no time to make appointments.
Secondly, she vaguely remembered the things that had happened between them in the car that night.
She could not tell whether or not it was a dream or reality. So, she did not bother topose herself
enough to face him.
However, they did chat intermittently on WhatsApp. But she was busy most of the time, and would
rarely relpy to him.
Sometimes, she could not even answer Olivier''s calls.
...
This Friday, Olivier went back to the family home to have lunch, and Mnie asked him about his
recent progress in his and Gwenda''s rtionship.
Olivier told her the truth.
Hearing that, Mnie''s face was filled with disappointed frustration. "You wooden fool! You''re always
so passive. How could you woo her well like this?"
Olivier was unconvinced. He raised his eyebrows briefly and said lightly, "Granny, one has to be patient
when fishing, otherwise you will frighten the fish."
"Oh, just keep talking nonsense, will you? I think you''ll never woo her in your lifetime."
Mnie sighed. "Oh, I''m so upset!"
"Granny, I know my boundaries..."
"Oh, please, as if you do!"
Mnie red at him before saying, "How about this? I''ll create an opportunity for you. What do you
think?"
Olivier looked up at her. "What?"
"Your Uncle Jerry''s daughter, Wendy, ising home from abroad. She''ll get home tonight. She''s
supposedlying back to attend a gathering. How about we take her with us tomorrow to the resort?
I haven''t properly rxed myself in a long while now."
"You''re getting me to babysit?"
Olivier frowned, his handsome features showing clear resistance.
Mnie smacked him. "What do you mean by babysitting? Wendy''s seventeen this year! She''ll be a
legal adult in a year''s time. How is she still a child?"
"That''s still a child!"
"Oh, you''re not willing? Then, forget it!"
Mnie rolled her eyes at him. "You don''t even want the opportunity I n to make for you. Serves you
right for not being able to find a wife!"
Olivier said nothing in response.
How hurtful.
"I''ll ask Gwenda outter. We''ll have fun at the resort. It''s up to you to decide if you want toe or
not."
Mnie deliberately annoyed him.
Olivier smiled helplessly. "Granny, stop fooling around."
"I''ll make that call now."
Putting down her cutlery, Mnie went to do just that.
...
On the other side of town, Gwenda was working overtime when she got Mnie''s call.
Today, she apanied Cecilia to re-shoot themercials. She had been so busy that she had not
even had the chance to eat yet.
"Gwenda, dear..."
Mnie''s genial voice came from the other end of the line.
Gwenda felt that she was being particrly affectionate. "Granny, you''re looking for me?"
"Yes, dear. Are you busy now, Gwenda?"
"Yeah, I''m still working with the artists. I haven''t gotten off work yet."
"You''re still working overtime at this hour? Poor dear, you must be tired."
Mnie''s heart ached for quite a while. "Have you eaten yet?"
"No, but I''ll be able to soon. Granny, is there something I can do for you?"
Gwenda asked in confusion.
"Oh, it''s like that. I''d like to go out and have fun for a bit, but there''s no one to apany me, so I
thought of you. Are you free tomorrow? Could you apany me on a trip for two days? It won''t be
far, it''s at the resort near the suburbs."
"Tomorrow, huh..."
Gwenda pondered for a moment.
Cecilia had a brief interview the next day. But it was not a big deal, so Gwenda did not need to keep an
eye on it.
"You''re not free?"
Mnie sounded a little disappointed.
Gwenda hastily denied it. "Oh, no, no, no. I''m free tomorrow. I''m free on the weekend too."
The elderly woman had already asked her in person. She had no reason to refuse.
Mnieughed with joy. "Well! That''s settled then. I''ll have someone pick you up tomorrow morning.
Then, we''ll go to the resort together."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Mnie went back to the dining hall while humming with triumph.
"Brat, watch and learn. Everything worked out the moment I stepped in."
Mnie huffed proudly as she boasted to her grandson.
Olivier raised an eyebrow. "She agreed?"
"Of course!"
"Have you told her that I am going too?"
"Didn''t you say that you weren''t going?"
"Did I say so?"
Mnie choked and snorted. "Anyway, I didn''t tell her that you''re going. If you want to go, be quick in
picking her up tomorrow morning. Perform well, do you understand?"
"I don''t you to teach me this sort of thing, granny,"
Olivier said resignedly.
Mnie red at him. "I did it for your own good!"
Olivier was struck speechless once more.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.
