Chapter 218 – Back Home to Marry Off Myself Novel

“Enough!” Lacey interrupted her in a stern voice, “I returned these favors long ago!”

After she grew up and was able to support herself, she often gave them money and even gave her a job. And how did she do it?

She made her lose face in front of Charles.

Charles waved his hand, indicating that he did not want to see this woman again. Tom understood and then pulled the waitress out of the mall, despite that she was crying.

Her voice was quickly isolated and the store immediately fell silent.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know it was because of her, and I called you here …”

“What are you going to do here?” Charles interrupted her. At this point, it made no difference to the matter even if she apologized, it would only hurt their relationships.

After all, they had known each other since they were children, had seen each other’s distress, and had lived together in an orphanage for several years. They had a bit of affection for each other, anyway.

“I’ve already bothered you. I got this place into this state by trusting others too easily.” Lacey sighed, “You’ve already helped me a lot. If you were not willing to give me this store, the head office would not have let me open a store here. If the head office knew that I had made this store look like this, I’m afraid they would have to ask me for compensation. I think it’s better to use the excuse that the consumption level here is not going up and close the store.”

“Have you thought it over?” Charles asked indifferently.

Lacey nodded, “I’ve thought it over.”

“Since you have thought it over, I won’t persuade you. Here …”

“I can clean it up.” Lacey did not want to trouble him too much.

“Okay.” Charles didn’t say much. After all, they were all adults, and each had his or her own thoughts and ideas.

“I’ll walk you out.” Lacey offered.

Charles didn’t refuse either. There was a small step in front of the store, and he had to have help to get down.

“Is it really incurable?” Lacey looked down at him with unspeakable feelings hidden under her eyes. It was harder for her to see him in a wheelchair than it was for Charles himself.

When he was adopted, his legs were sound and now he was in a wheelchair. This must have been caused later.

Charles’s eyes half narrowed as he thought back to the old days …

He used to be able to walk. It was because of an accident.

At that time, he accompanied Nathan to inspect the factory, but there was a fire that caused an explosion. He got his leg blown up trying to save Nathan, and that was why he was in a wheelchair.

“It’s hard.” There was no change on Charles’ face, but his heart was in turmoil. After all, no one would like to be a cripple and not even be able to take care of themselves.

“You know the one who just …”

“Lacey, I don’t like people asking me about my personal matters.”

Charles interrupted her.

He knew Lacey was trying to ask him about Loredana.

“I’m sorry.”

“You don’t always have to say that.” Charles looked calm again.

On the other hand, Loredana bought a few sets of change of clothes before going back to the hotel with Cormac.

Because Loredana had to go to see the master who could make cloud yarn, she would not return to B

City for the time being, and Cormac also wanted to find out Sampson’s whereabouts here.

So they reached a consensus that they were going to stay here for a few more days.

When they got off the car, they just walked into the hotel and saw the people waiting for them in the hotel lobby.

Armand and Theresa were sitting in the place beside the window. There were a few empty cups on the table and it seemed like they had been sitting there for a long time.

Armand looked worn-out. When he saw them come in, he pounced on them without bothering his image at all, “You guys are finally back. We’ve been waiting for you guys for half a day.”

Boyce disgustedly pushed him away, “Lost? What took you so long?”

He said he had left long ago and by right, he should have arrived early.

As he spoke, he glanced at Theresa who was walking towards Loredana. Why did he bring her here also?

What did this guy do to her?

Armand was vexed so he did not notice Boyce’s strange gaze. When he came, he was caught by his grandmother and she kept asking him when did he want to get married, otherwise, she would not allow him to come out.

He lied and said he was getting married at the end of the year and he managed to come out only after saying so.

So, he was delayed.

The main problem was that he did not even have a proper girlfriend yet.

“Don’t mention it, it’s caused by my grandmother.” Seeing Armand’s troubled look, Boyce understood what was the exact reason.

Although the Bernie family was not a great noble family, it was also considered a family of scholars.

However, Armand’s parents died early and he had only a grandmother left. Now, Armand was also a man in his thirties so it was normal that his grandmother was anxious about his marriage.

“She urges you again?” Boyce used his shoulder to touch him.

“Yeah.”

“Isn’t that a ready-made one?” Boyce raised his chin in front of him. Not far away, Theresa was hugging Loredana and she did not let go of her, “I can finally see you. I was very afraid when you disappeared. I was afraid that you were in danger. You said that our trip back to here this time would be thrilling and exciting.”

“It’s fine, don’t worry, isn’t that I’m fine?” Loredana patted her shoulder.

Armand looked at Theresa and twitched his lips, “This woman is not bad but it’s hard to hook up with her.”

“You’re so good at tactics, do you need to worry that you can’t conquer this woman?” Boyce joked.

Armand glared at him, “Am I someone who is that mean?”

“Haha.” Boyce laughed inwardly. He thought that he was trying to pretend to be a good man again.

Who was the one who changed women every day as if he was changing clothes.

However, Boyce knew that he was just playing around without being serious.

“By the way.” Boyce hooked his neck and went to the side to whisper, “I found that Cormac and…”

“Dad, what are they talking about?” Simona, who was lying on Cormac’s shoulder looked at the two people standing not far away who were whispering beside the window.

“Don’t care about them.” Cormac carried her upstairs.

Loredana helped Theresa pull the suitcase, “You must be tired after having a long journey. Go up and take a rest.”

“Okay.” Theresa did not let Loredana help her, “I can do it myself.” She reached out to caress Samuel’s head, “Samuel.”

“Theresa, how come you come together with him?” Samuel looked at Armand and then looked at Theresa.

Loredana originally also intended to ask how come they came together.

“He went to the store and told me that he found you. I was anxious to see you so I came along with him. When you weren’t at the store, the store didn’t receive orders and they were very few customers.”

Theresa was a bit disappointed. She felt that she was still not capable enough. Although the two guests she served were satisfied with her design, they said that there was nothing more special and stunning so they eventually did not place any order.

Now, Allison was watching the store so she came over.
