Adrian Wright didnât bother to hide it and frankly admitted, âThe girl from yesterday was brought by me. How was she, not bad, right?â
âYou, always learning bad habits from Spencer Burley.â
âHey, what does that have to do with me?â
Spencer Burley made a face, muttering, âMan, Iâm getting shot even when Iâm lying down.â
âHahaâ¦â
Greg Jensen and Adrian Wright exchanged glances and burst into laughter together.
After eating, the three played in the game room for a while before Alfredo Harrison arrived with his secretary.
Compared to his cold demeanor yesterday, he was much friendlier today, taking his time to explain the contract to Greg and introducing him to a renovation team.
Seeing his eagerness, Adrian Wright couldnât help but look at him suspiciously and asked, âTell me, Alfredo, this wasnât a plot to sell the garden to Greg, was it?â
âNo⦠not at all, certainly not. Mr. Jensen is your friend, where would I dare to trick him? If you donât believe me, ask Mr. Jensen himself.â
Alfredo Harrisonâs forehead was drenched in cold sweat as he anxiously turned to look at Greg Jensen.
Greg Jensen smiled and didnât expose him, instead nodding, âMm, I have long heard about the mystery of Dreamscape Garden and knew it was Director Zhangâs garden, so I asked to have a look.
This has nothing to do with Director Zhang, so donât scare him.â
Adrian Wright, upon hearing this, still gave Alfredo Harrison a frosty look and warned, âIâm telling you, you better hope I donât find out thereâs something fishy going on here, or I wonât let you off the hook.â
âDonât worry, Mr. Wright, I definitely couldnât.â
Grabbing some paper, Alfredo Harrison wiped his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.
âAlright, if thereâs no problem, letâs sign the contract.â
After reviewing the contract, Greg signed his name on it.
Seeing this, Alfredo Harrisonâs face lit up with joy, glad to finally sell that troublesome garden and rid himself of a burden.
More importantly, since Greg didnât blow his cover, he wouldnât have to worry about this matter anymore.
At last, a huge weight seemed to have lifted.
In high spirits, Alfredo Harrison took the initiative to handle the transfer paperwork, fervently promising that within three days, he would make sure everything was settled.
With the property matter resolved, Greg was quite pleased and was about to go out for a stroll when Spencer Burley received a call.
âWhat did you say??â
Spencer hung up and began to run outside, shouting as he went, âMy grandma might not make it, I need to go back home first.â
Adrian Wright was also startled, asking urgently, âWhat happened to grandma?â
âThey said she had a fall and urged me to hurry back home.â
â Ai, let Greg go with you!â
Slapping his forehead, Spencer dragged Greg with him, âHow could I forget about you, our Divine Doctor? Letâs go quicklyâ¦â
âWait for me, Iâm coming too.â Adrian also chased after them from behind.
The three of them got into the car and rushed toward Spencerâs home.
Midway, Greg suddenly came to his senses and asked in wonder, âIf your grandma had a fall, shouldnât she be sent to a hospital? Why did they ask you to come home?â
âUhâ¦â
Spencer was also taken aback, blurting out uncertainly, âRight, why not to the hospital? Why did they tell me to come home?â
His complexion suddenly changed, and he said anxiously, âDamn it, could it be they want me to go back for a blind date? Stop the car, I want to get off.â
Smack!
Adrian Wright slapped him and cursed, âThe hell youâre getting off, what if itâs serious?â
âImpossible, it has to be my grandma trying to rush for a great-grandson, so she set up another blind date for me.â
Face red with distress, Spencer pleaded, âAdrian, my good brother, just let me get out, please.â
âFine, go ahead, jump out if you will,â grunted Adrian through clenched teeth.
Spencer Burley glanced out the window, and suddenly, deflated like a punctured ball, leaned back in his seat without a word.
Greg Jensen, seeing his demeanour, couldnât help but crack a smile and laughed, âItâs just a blind date, what are you afraid of?â
Spencer Burley sighed, âAlas, my grandma is confused.â
Adrian Wright snapped, âShut up, do you talk about your grandmother like that? If you dare talk nonsense again, Iâll cut ties with you.â
Spencer Burley helplessly looked at Greg Jensen and explained, âMy grandma has some dementia, the kind that comes and goes, and sheâs always thinking about holding her great-grandchild.
The problem is, she still follows the old traditions, thinking a big butt is good for childbearing, and the women she finds for me to meetâ¦â
With that, he sighed again, rubbing his forehead and said, âItâs a long story.â
While talking, the three of them drove to the Burley family villa.
Upon entering the house, they indeed saw an old lady with white hair and a youthful face, energetically sitting on the couch with a walking stick in hand.
On both sides sat two middle-aged women, softly persuading something.
Not far away, there was a serene woman, holding a book in her hands and reading intently.
Seeing this scene, Spencer Burleyâs head drooped down immediately, and he stealthily glanced at Greg Jensen as if to say âSee, I told you so.â
Greg Jensen too was somewhat baffled by the sight before him.
This family is too unreliableâmaking jokes about grandma falling down?
When the old lady saw Spencer Burley, her eyes lit up, and smiling she said, âSpencer is back? My good grandson, come sit by grandma.â
âAlt, alright.â
Spencer Burley quickly went over and sat by the old lady, obedient like a well- bred young lady.
âOh, Adrian is here too, come have a seat.â
The old lady waved at Adrian Wright, but when she saw Greg Jensen, she paused.
âAnd this gentleman isâ¦?â
âGrandma, this is Greg Jensen, who saved me on Misty Mountain.â
Hearing Spencer Burleyâs introduction, all four women in the room turned to look, including the serene lady who was reading.
âHello, grandma, hello auntsâ¦â
Greg Jensen greeted everyone with a smile, then said to Spencer Burley, âYou could at least introduce them.â
âAlt, I nearly forgot, heh.â
Spencer Burley stood up, introducing, âGreg, this is my mom, Annie Stuart, and this is my aunt, Judith Hall.â
Saying this, he pointed to the serene lady and said, âAnd that lady is the belle of our Burley family, Miss Louisa Burley.â
âFlatterer.â
Louisa Burley glared at her brother with feigned annoyance, and smiling at Greg Jensen, she said, âPlease have a seat, Greg. My brother has been mischievous since he was little, always causing trouble.â
âNot at all, we get along very well,â Greg Jensen smiled, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
Louisa Burley was very delicate in appearance, carrying a faint scent of books, giving off the vibe of a well-bred lady.
She was completely different from the likes of Lois Abbott and Lindsey Wolfe.
Even Vince Cooper from last night paled in comparison.
The Burley family was very polite, urging Greg Jensen to sit and engaging in casual conversation while offering fruits and tea.
They chattered away, inquiring about Greg Jensenâs medical experiences.
When they learned he had only treated a few patients, a tinge of disappointment crossed Annie Stuartâs eyes.
Greg Jensen noticed and couldnât help but ask, âAunt Annie, were you hoping that I would treat someone?â
âYes, I did have that in mind, butâ¦â
Annie Stuart hesitated to continue, but Greg Jensen already understood, she was doubting him because of his youth.
Spencer Burley took a bite of his apple and said, âLet me explain, Greg. Actually, the patient is my sister.â
