Chapter 286 – Back Home to Marry Off Myself Novel

Ms. Leslie was dressed in a mink velvet coat with her grey hair neatly curled at the back of her head.

She clutched a bag in her hand and looked fatigued with the journey as she seemed to have just arrived here.

Armand Bernie’s face became pale at that point and turned to Cormac Mendelsohn as he was wondering whether it was because he witnessed his embarrassment that day, and so he notified his grandma about his whereabouts.

Cormac didn’t bother to respond to him as he didn’t have to do that.

“Stop looking at him, it was me who told her.” Boyce was also taken aback when he saw Ms. Leslie.

Just a few days earlier, Ms. Leslie had been calling him every day and made complaints and was sobbing, and Boyce had no option but to disclose his address. Who knew that Ms. Leslie would come to find them for real?

“You…” Armand was angry as she shouldn’t tell Ms. Leslie where he was?

He would not have any freedom if the old woman was there to caught him.

“What!” Ms. Leslie snatched Armand’s ear and pulled him in “You silly boy, are you taking advantage of me being an old lady and trying to fool me. You said you will get married at year-end. I’d want to meet your girlfriend!”

This unexpected scene puzzled Loredana.

Cormac went over to her and whispered in her ear, “This is Armand’s grandma, his parents died when he was young, and his grandmother raised him.”

Loredana realized what was going on.

It’s no surprise that Armand’s expression changed when he spotted Ms. Leslie.

For the first time, she saw Armand being so terrified of someone.

“Ouch! Grandma, grandma, I was wrong, I was wrong. Could you please let me keep my dignity since so there are many people are looking at us? Ear pulling is even more embarrassing” Armand confessed his error while pleading for pardon.

Ms. Leslie looked around and her eyes swept over Theresa and eventually fell on Loredana. She stared at her up and down and grinned, “You are…”

“She’s Mrs. Mendelsohn.” Armand did not wait for Loredana to respond and answer as he worried that this old lady might misunderstand.

She also did not hear that any of them got married. She looked around again and discovered that Cormac stood very near to her. She then understood but she was confused at the same time since she knew Armand’s two good friends, Boyce and Cormac but she did not hear any of them had got married.

“When you got married, why didn’t you invite me to your wedding feast?”

There wasn’t any celebration when Cormac and Loredana married. They simply got a marriage certificate. It was Abbot Baron who brought Loredana to apply for it.

The few people who were close to Cormac were the only ones who knew he was married.

She got Cormac there by asking such a question.

He would have held a grant wedding ceremony to marry Loredana to let everyone know that he was married and his wife was Loredana if he had known he would have to face this someday.

“There wasn’t any wedding celebration made by us, so…” Loredana answered on behalf of Cormac to bail him out.

“Oh, I see… ” Ms. Leslie then realized there were two little girls standing beside her. Due to the cold weather, the two children wore down jackets Simona was wearing a light green down jacket with a fur collar, underneath was a black tweed short skirt. She also wore short boots and had her hair in a ponytail that exposed her wide forehead. She opened her clear and brilliant eyes, her lips were pink and she was slightly pouting it which made her look cute when she was talking.

“Good morning, Grandma.” Simona had a smart mouth that she would greet people.

Ms. Leslie found the kid was lovely and beautiful with her hand over her heart.

“Oh…”

Armand hurried up and cut her short when Ms. Leslie had just responded, “Hey, It’s all wrong, you can’t call her grandma.”

“Simona, see, she is my grandma, your father and I am of the same generation, right?” Armand crouched down to Simona and explained to her.

Simona totally had no idea what Armand was saying.

She blinked. Armand called her grandma. Shouldn’t she also call her grandma?

“Simona,” “In the future, you should not refer to Armand as uncle,” Boyce interrupted.

“Boyce!” Armand was so angry as he was the one who gave Ms. Leslie the address. Would he be caught if he didn’t do so?

“Why are you shouting? You scared the kid” “Stop bullying Boyce,” Ms. Leslie said as she snatched Armand’s ear again and tossed him aside.

“Hello, I’m your grandson. Who should you take side with?” Armand was hurt.

“Boyce would never lie to me like you. I tell you, at the end of the year, if you do not get married, I will break your leg. You see…”

“How adorable they are,” Ms. Leslie said as she pulled his ears back to show him the two children.

Ms. Leslie clicked her lips repeatedly when she saw Samuel. The kid appeared pretty attractive as she looked closely, she found that he looked identical to Cormac. From the contours of the little face, she could tell that he and Cormac were cast in the same mould.

She didn’t need to be introduced since she knew these two kids must be Cormac’s.

Armand clicked his tongue as well and said, “Who could be that lucky like Cormac? As he had a pair of twins all of a sudden. Not to mention that they were actually pigeon pair and the key point is that both children have inherited their parents’ good qualities as the boy is brilliant and the girl is cute. All of them are Cormac’s. How could I not jealous about this?”

“Just forget about it. I can’t have a pigeon pair, even if I marry my wife.”

What, they were a pigeon pair? Ms. Leslie’s eyes widened.

She looked at Simona and then Samuel, and they did look alike, with Samuel being slightly taller. At first, she assumed they were two children from the same mother, but she didn’t expect them to be a pigeon pair, so Ms. Leslie became even more exasperated, “Look, look. He can own such a pair of lovely kids without doing anything special. He must have done many good deeds in the past life.”

Armand would like to slap himself as originally due to the fact that he was unmarried, Ms. Leslie kept an eye on him. Not to mention that she had known that Cormac had a pigeon pair. She was likely to be envious and might force him to achieve that.

Armand was now in dire straits.

“Can we go back a day later, Cormac?” Although Armand was unsatisfied with his grandmother’s persecution, she was his grandmother anyways who was his closest person, who was now so old and exhausted from her journey that he wanted to allow her to relax and rest.

Cormac was in a good mood and hummed faintly.

He was exceptionally vigorous in the business world, but he was just ordinary people. He was just an ordinary father that he would feel happy after hearing someone praise his children.

He felt grateful towards Loredana, who gave birth to the lovely pigeon pair for him and let him become a father.

He wrapped his hands around Loredana’ waist.

Loredana glared at him, there were a lot of people which made her feel weird. She carefully stepped back, Cormac’s hand fell empty. He was not willing to let her go and when he was about to do that again, Loredana squatted down to pick up her daughter and moved aside two steps. She smiled and said, “Armand, you stay with grandma. I don’t think that she has had breakfast since she came over so early and now the restaurant should still be serving breakfast.”

“It’s Mrs. Mendelsohn,” “Grandma, let’s go, you must not have eaten breakfast in this early hour. Let me buy you some food,” Armand said as he grabbed Ms. Leslie’s arm.

Ms. Leslie smiled and gazed at Loredana then she looked at the child in her arms. Her heart was full of joy, even that was not Armand’s kid.

Among Armand, Boyce and Cormac, Cormac is the oldest. They were just a few years apart.

“You guys are not as smart as Cormac,” she said as she pointed to Boyce and Armand. “Look at his wife, she looked so gorgeous. Look at these two children then yourselves. How do you find yourselves after such a comparison?”

Loredana was speechless.

She felt shy to be complimented in such a frank manner.

Boyce scratched his head as he wondered how could this turn him on?

Armand covered his face with his hands hopelessly.

Indeed, he was not as capable as Cormac. But could she just don’t point that out?
