Chapter 137 Nichs Visited


    Ca was fixing a pot nt with her sleeves rolled up to her elbows. She turned back and asked,


    "Who?"


    "Miss Ca, Chief is Mr. Nichs. Mr. Terence''s grandfather. We all call him Chief," Sophie exined


    patiently.


    "He''s who— Oh, my gosh! What''s he doing here?" Ca said in a panic, suddenly remembering who


    he was. She met him once briefly in BH City.


    The old man came across as too aggressive and she found him very intimidating and hard to handle.


    Now that Terence wasn''t here she was left to deal with him on her own.


    "Miss Ca, I believe the old master would have been aware that Mr. Terence wasn''t here at the


    moment. It''s obvious that he ising to see you,"


    Sophie analyzed. She had been working for Terence for a long time and so Sophie had a rtively


    good insight of what was going on.


    Ca shuddered hearing her say that. She looked down at her soiled casual outfit and said, "Sophie,


    can you stay with him while I go clean myself up and change into something more appropriate?"


    "Okay. Don''t panic, Miss Ca. Chief looks forbidding, but in fact he is nice to young people," Sophie


    said trying to ease her fears.


    "I see. Wait— How should I call him? Chief?" Ca was about to run off to get changed when she


    suddenly remembered to ask her. Sophie was older and more experienced at dealing with these sorts


    of things.


    Since Ca and Terence were in a subtle rtionship, properly addressing his grandfather would be


    extremely important.


    "Well, Mr. Terence calls him Grandpa. Maybe you can call him the same too?"


    ''Terence loved Ca so much. It''s most likely that they will marry. So once Ca was married to


    Terence, then it would only be natural for her to call him grandpa as well, '' thought Sophie.


    "I don''t think that''s a good idea. He may think me too presumptuous," Ca said furrowing her brows.


    Sophie chuckled and agreed. Ca''s concerns sounded reasonable. "Miss Ca, the people outside of


    their family, like us call him, Chief. Younger people or people close to him call him Mr. Nics or


    Nichs. You could call him Mr. Nichs or just Nics. It wouldn''t be offensive."


    Ca nodded. She vaguely recalled that she may have called him Mr. Nichs when she met him the


    first time. But she was so nervous now that she couldn''t be for certain.


    However, this time was far different fromst time.


    Thinking of the stupid things that she had done the first time that she met him. She felt extremely


    embarrassed about seeing him again.


    "Thank you for your advice, Sophie." Ca breathed in deeply and ran upstairs.


    Once Ca was in her room, she quickly washed her hands and brushed her hair. Then she opened


    the wardrobe and chose an elegant white dress with a small pink flower motif and a matching pair of


    shoes.


    Ca didn''t dare to linger for too long.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    When she was inside the lift, she kept taking deep breaths to calm her nerves. Terence''s most beloved


    grandfather, it was the first time she would meet him formally. How could she not be nervous?


    Once the door of the lift opened, Ca put on a wide weing smile and walked towards the living


    room.


    She looked around the room. "Nichs?"


    Ca''s smile froze and she had a feeling of dread when she saw that the living room was empty.


    ''Where is he?


    Did he get angry and leave because I kept him waiting for too long?''


    "Nichs?"


    Ca was beginning to feel anxious as she walked throughout the mansion looking for him and calling


    his name.


    "Nichs? Nichs? Nic..."


    When she walked passed a window she saw a lone figure standing as straight as a por tree outside.


    He was standing beneath a tree gazing out at the vast sea in the distance.


    "Nichs? You''re here. I was so worried that you may have left because I kept you waiting for too


    long,"


    Ca said breathlessly as she hurried to his side.


    Nics slowly turned around to look at her. He was aged, but still looked hale and hearty and his voice


    was sonorous.


    "You know I''m not deaf. If you had of addressed me properly, I would have already replied to you by


    now."


    Ca was taken aback. ''I didn''t address him properly?''


    She gave Sophie a nervous look. Ca had specifically asked Sophie in advance to avoid addressing


    him improperly.


    "Err— Mr. Nichs?"


    She raised her eyebrows with the hope that she got it right this time. But the elderly gentleman still


    didn''t answer.


    "Chief?"


    He still didn''t reply. Ca was beginning to feel hot and flustered, and she wiped her brows with her


    hand. She tried again with a tiny voice barely audible, "— Grandpa?"


    "Yes! You have finally addressed me correctly. Though, I barely heard it. Louder next time," Nics


    replied in a booming voice as he strode off towards the pavilion.


    "Grandpa!" Ca called out again and much louder this time. Feeling much more at ease, she


    instructed Sophie to bring some tea for them.


    Once Sophie had arrived with a tray of tea, Ca poured a cup of tea for Nics and served him.


    "Grandpa, have a cup of tea."


    "Thank you." Nichs took the cup from her, had a sip and considered her.


    ''She is exactly the same as she was thest time I saw her.


    Not bad, much like a diamond in the rough. Shecks the grace of ady thates from an


    honorable family. However, that could easily be cultivatedter. After she bes a member of the An


    family, she would have many things to learn.''


    "Ca, Terence said that he would bring you to see me. But I have been waiting for a long time and he


    still hasn''t brought you. I called Terence this morning and mentioned it to him again. But guess what the


    rogue said?"


    Nichs chuckled and coughed, shaking his head when he thought of Terence''s words.


    "What did he say?" Ca asked smiling.


    Nichs put his cup down and shook his head and said with great affection, "I''ve spoiled that rascal so


    much. He said if I wanted to see my granddaughter-inw, I had toe here myself.


    He said in view of the current situation, even if he did ask you, you wouldn''t havee with him to see


    me, anyway. So instead, I came here myself."


    She bowed her head down and became silent. Nichs looked at Ca with a warm smile on his face


    and said, "Don''t feel embarrassed. Meing here tells you everything, doesn''t it?"


    ''Nichs loves his grandson so much.


    That''s why he has epted me, the girl that Terence loves.''


    Ca nodded slightly but still kept her head down and said in a meek voice, "Thank you, Grandpa. It''s


    not that I didn''t want to see you. I just felt that I don''t deserve—"


    After all, to the Ans she was a country girl from nowhere. She didn''t have the courage or confidence to


    just go and visit Terence''s family.


    Nichs bellowed out a heartyugh and it made Ca suddenly feel relieved.


    "Silly girl. You''re the one that Terence has chosen. Why wouldn''t I like you?" Nichs said smiling with


    a face beaming full of affection. "Let me tell you something. No matter what others might think, as long


    as you and Terence love each other, that''s all that matters. You are a promising couple!


    We all have hurdles in our lives


    and if you want to get through the hard times sooner. I have a piece of advice for you."


    Nichs leaned forward with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes.


    Ca pulled her chair closer to him.
