“I see”
Duncan lost interest.
He gave a pack of cigarettes each to the guards on duty and walked toward the main house.
Duncan knew the scenery of Wildridge Manor like the back of his hand, so he could not appreciate it much.
When he passed by a gazebo, he saw Grandma May practicing pilates.
“Grandma May”
Duncan stopped and greeted the old woman with a smile.
If he were driving, he would have passed by in a flash and would not see her practicing pilates here.
Grandma May looked at him, but her movements continued on. She smiled and said, “You’re here, Duncan.”
“Zack is back too I came with him. My company is on holiday now and I didn’t make any plans, so I followed him over to see you.”
In the past, whenever there was a holiday, the three best friends would either go golfing, horseback riding, or sailing together. In short, they always had plans.
Now, Zack had a wife and stuck to her side like gum during the holidays. He did not want to go anyway.
Josh was a newlywed. After bringing Jasmine back to her family’s home tomorrow, he would be taking his new wife out for their honeymoon.
Duncan felt that he became a loner. There was nowhere for him to go.
“Are you really here to see me, or is that just an excuse?”
Grandma May grinned. “Liberty and Sonny came over too, didn’t they?”
“Liberty and Sonny are here too, but I really did come here to see you, Grandma May.”
Duncan stepped into the gazebo, sat down, and watched the old lady continue with her pilates.
He said. “When my granny was still alive, I asked her to practice pilates with you, but she didn’t listen to me.”
His granny and Grandma May were of the same age, but the former’s health was far from that of the latter
Grandma May was still physically strong and could fly around the world by plane without company.
She set her grandsons up with a spring in her step.
Meanwhile, his granny had been buried six feet under for many years.
“Your granny is a true noble lady. She’s different from someone impoverished like me.”
“Who said you’re impoverished? You’re also a true noble lady”
Grandma May laughed. “When my grandfather was alive, my family was considered an influential family. But after I was born, my family fell into poverty. Now, even their mansion has been handed over to the state.
“On the other hand, your granny has been noble all her life. She can’t be compared with an old boor like me.”
Grandma May wrapped up her pilates.
Duncan hurriedly got up and walked over to help her
She did not need his help.
She asked with interest, “Duncan, why don’t we have a competition? I haven’t exercised my muscles in a long time.”
Duncan immediately looked at her like he was begging for mercy. “Give me a break, Grandma May. I wouldn’t dare.”
“I won’t blame you if I lose.”
“But you’re old. If you end up hurting yourself, I’ll become a villain to the York family It’d be a tragedy if I couldn’t visit the York manor again. You should ask Zack instead.”
Zack’s voice suddenly resounded.
“Don’t drag me into this, Duncan.”
He carried Sonny into the gazebo.
“Nana.”
Grandma May hummed.
Sonny greeted her politely, and she carried him with a smile.
“I missed you so much, Sonny”
Serena and Liberty followed behind.
“Nana.”
“Grandma May”
Grandma May smiled joyously. “You’re all here. Hurry back inside the house. It’s hot out here. It’s only nine, but I feel so hot.”
The old woman called everyone back into the house.
She asked Zack casually, “Are the two ladies of the Newman family still waiting outside?”
“The Newman ladies?”
Zack recalled the two cars parked at the entrance and asked his nana, “They’re from the Newman family?”
“Yes, they’re Camryn’s eldest and second aunt. Her eldest aunt married into the Chandler family, and her second aunt became a Joyner. They’re here to find your Aunt Rosella. Since they’re here for her, she has to agree to meet them before we can invite them inside.”
Grandma May seemed like she did not care about anything, but the manor was still under her control.
Unless it were something she did not want to know, she would find out about everything happening in the villa.
Zack said faintly, “They were still waiting outside when I arrived. They must be up to something if they came over so early in the morning.”
“What’s happening in the Newman family now?”
Grandma May led Sonny out of the gazebo and asked Zack.
Zack replied, “These two aunts of Ms. Camryn, who are waiting outside now to meet Aunt Rosella, keep cursing Ms. Camryn for being an ungrateful wench They just want to seize the opportunity to take over the Newman family. However, I skipped the specifics. That’s up to Callum to worry about.”
Camryn would only be his sister-in-law in the future. Unless she begged him for help, he would not concern himself with the Newmans’ affairs.
“Callum didn’t interfere much, right? Camryn can handle herself. Callum just needs to stand behind her and be her backer.”
Grandma May was full of trust in her chosen granddaughter-in-law and believed that Camryn would be able to handle the Newman family assets well.
Zack did not speak.
Grandma May quickly changed the topic.
She did not have to worry about her second and third grandsons anymore. She had already chosen someone for them, so all left was for them to pursue their wives.
However, she had not decided on a wife for her fourth and fifth grandsons.
Her sixth grandson, Austin, and the ones that came after him could wait until they were older. There was no hurry.
Boys generally mature slower than girls.
If a man got married too early, he might not be able to afford the burden of a family.
It was necessary to push for marriage only after a man had a successful career. That way, he would be able to afford to raise a family of his own without relying on his parents and siblings for help.
“It’s neither too hot nor cold now. Zack, it would’ve been nicer for you to take them to our island for a few days,” suggested Grandma May.
Zack replied, “We came back to see you first, Nana, Where do you want to go?”
“I’m just an old pile of bones. I won’t go. You younglings go instead. Tell your brothers and go relax on the island for a few days.”
