Chapter 90
“I’ll head outside to take the call,” Gisele stated, grabbing her phone and preparing to leave.
However, as she took a step, Don’s cold volce Interrupted, “Answer it right here. I want to see
what kind of nonsense you’ll spout in front of Grandpa,”
Gisele hesitated for a moment before ncing at Don, sighing Inwardly. What could she possibly
say in front of Den?
Taking a deep breath, Gisele eventually answered the call.
Den’s face appeared on the screen, sporting a yful smile as he remarked, “Gisele, what took
you so long? Shouldn’t you be having dinner by now?”
“Grandpa Den, I’m already at the restaurant,” Gisele remarked with a smile, her expression
reflecting concern. “You seem much healthiertely. How’s your mood been these days, Grandpa
Den?”
As Den pondered the information from the investigator’s report the previous night, het couldn’t
conceal his delight.
While alcohol might impact sperm quality, moderate drinking could also strengthen the bond
between married couples, which is a positive oue.
Gisele was puzzled by Den’s cheerful demeanor. Was there something positive happening that
she wasn’t aware of? Despite her efforts, Gisele couldn’t recall any notable event worth
celebrating.
“Oh, Gisele, I heard from Uncle William that he saw you and Don shopping and dining together.
Where is Don? Howe I don’t see him?” Den inquired, his smile still bright. Gisele quickly
nced at Dorian, who sat opposite her with Sierra by his side. If Gisele were to flip her phone’s
camera, Den might catch a glimpse of Sierra.
Contemting Den’s cheerful inquiry, Gisele started to wonder if this supposed Uncle William
had only seen her with Dorian and hadn’t noticed Sierra, who was busy trying on
clothes.
“Gisele, where’s Don? Can’t you two sit together?” Den urged with a smile.
Gisele let out an awkward chuckle. “Ha, ha–ha… Grandpa Den, Don went to the restroom. He’ll
be back soon.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for him to return. You two should sit together and video–call me. This is your first time
dining out together, isn’t it? It appears that mischievous Don is upping his
game,” Den muttered to himself.
Gisele kept a smile stered on her face, yet internally, she grappled with a sense of helplessness.
If Den had known about Sierra, he likely wouldn’t have spoken that way, would he?
“Get over here,” Dorian said coldly, fixing his gaze on Gisel
Sierra looked at Dorian in disbelief. Was he seriously asking to be in the same video frame as
Gisele?
“Don, I’ll excuse myself to the restroom for a moment,” Sierra said, quicklyposing

herself.
Rising to her feet, she deliberately walked over to Gisele, making sure Den on the video call
could see that she was also present.
Her intention was clear–to reveal to Den that what he longed to see was nothing more
than an illusion.
Gisele couldn’t shake off the concern that Den might notice Sierra.
She promptly stood up and took a seat beside Dorian, creating the illusion of them being closely
situated in the video call. However, in reality, there was still some physical distance
between them.
“Grandpa Den, Don is back “Gisele informed him, avoiding any i
of Sierra
If Den brought up Sierra, it would be Dorian’s responsibility to address it. After all, she was the
one he favored, so it seemed appropriate to let Dorian handle the situation.
Dorian briefly nced at the screen before averting his
gaze.
As Sierra left, her strong perfume scent gradually faded away, reced by Gisele’s citrusy aroma
with a hint of herbal notes. This change infused the air with a refreshing and revitalizing sensation.
“Seeing the two of you so in love, I could peacefully depart this world,” Den said cheerfully.
Despite catching sight of Sierra passing by on the screen earlier, it didn’t dampen Den’s joy upon
witnessing Dorian and Gisele enjoying dinner together.
With a sweet smile, Gisele replied, “Grandpa Den, please don’t say that. You’ve got plenty
years ahead of
and down the road, you’ll have the chance to look after your great- grandkids.”
