Chapter 284 Make Everyone Angry Gigi stared blankly at Alston. Her eyes suddenly turned red when listening to his indifferent words and looking at his alienated expression.
âWhy donât you believe me? I was slapped and bullied. Why do you only trust Cynthia? She doesnât want me to live here and welcome me at all!â
âHonestly!â Alston raised his eyes indifferently, âI donât welcome you, either. If it werenât because I owed you, I wouldnât like you living in the Smith family, turning me against Cynthia, and bullying my children!â
âI, I didnât...â Gigi still wanted to argue.
Alston looked impatiently at Greg, âIs a surveillance camera installed in the living room?â
Greg respectfully answered, âYes. The surveillance camera and sound receivers are at the top of the stairs. They caught Mrs.
Smith and Miss Arnettâs argument. Do you want me to pull the video?â
Then Alston looked at Gigi, âEither you go back to your room and stay in peace, or I call out the surveillance and ask everyone to see who started the dispute first.â
Guilty, Gigi took two steps back. She averted her gaze and tried to show shock to make Alston not read her mind, âYou just prefer Cynthia!â
âShe is my wife. Who did you think I would favor?â Alston felt it was funny. He knew the truth and was more confirmed when he saw Gigiâs reaction.
Lloyd reminded Alston, âThere is little time. The directors are still waiting in the company.â
âOkay, letâs go!â Alston ignored Gigi and strode away toward the door with Lloyd.
When Gigi watched Alston leave the room, she angrily threw the pillow on the couch and screamed.
Seeing Gigi going crazy, Greg said, âMiss Arnett, although you are a guest of the Smith family, you canât just throw away familyâs things!â
Gigi glanced at him coldly, âWhy? Even you, a servant, want to bully me?â
âServant?â Greg chuckled. He hadnât heard anyone call him that in many years.
the The passing maid happened to hear Gigi call Greg a servant, and she was sweating with fear. She walked over angrily and said to Gigi, âGreg watched Mr. Smith grow up. Mr. Smith respects him most. How dare you call Greg like that?â
Gigi was stunned. She didnât expect Greg to play a significant role in the Smith family. She felt annoyed. If Greg spoke ill of her in front of Alston, Alston would be meaner to her.
They had yet to progress in their relationship in the past three years. After Alston returned to the Smith family, it became even worse with Cynthiaâs involvement. If Greg got in the middle, Alston would have a worse impression of her. She would never win.
âWell, Greg, I didnât mean it. I just came here, so I donât know you...â
She smiled awkwardly and apologized to Greg, stumbled and stuttered.
Greg sneered, âNo, Miss Arnett, you are right. Although I watched Mr. Smith grow up, Iâm still a servant of the Smith family. But I have to tell you, even though I am a servant, my masters are only Mr. and Mrs. Smith!â
Gigi frowned and was not convinced, but she dared not say anything.
Greg looked the other way and said to the maid, âWash it. Itâs Mrs. Smithâs favorite pillow. If she sees someone mistreating it, she will be angry.â
âYes!â The maid responded, quickly picked up the pillow, and walked towards the laundry room.
âI have to tell others to stay away from Miss Arnett, so as not to annoy Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Greg is such a good person, but Gigi pissed him off. She was trouble,â thought the maid.
As soon as the maid left, Mrs. Lewis and Joyce came back with Keller and Desmond.
The two chubby babies went out to play for half an hour, and there was sweat on their foreheads. With flushed cheeks and delicate features, they looked lovely.
âGrandpa Greg, this flower is for you. My brother and I picked it in the garden.â Keller held the purple flowers in his chubby hand, looking fresh and lovely.
Greg laughed and was in a pleasant mood, âOh, thank you, young Mr. and Miss Smith. I like it very much.â
Greg looked at the sweat on their foreheads and said to Joyce, âTake them back to freshen up and change their clothes. Donât let them catch a cold.â
âYes.â Joyce and Mrs. Lewis took the children back to the room.
Greg saw Gigi was still there and said coldly, âYou are pregnant and should get some rest. If not necessary, try not to leave the room. Young Mr. and Miss Smith are naughty, and itâll be awful if they bump into you.â
Then Greg was going to find a vase to put the flowers in and ignored Gigi.
For a few minutes, no one was in the living room. Gigi was so angry that her stomach started to hurt.
The Smith familyâs people and Gigi were like natural enemies. She was ashamed to stay in the living room and went back to her room angrily.
When Alston came home in the evening, Greg greeted him at the door. Seeing Alston coming back, Greg asked gently, âMr.
Smith, is everything all right? Are you familiar with the company? Did those directors make things difficult for you?â
âFortunately, Iâm quite used to it.â Although he didnât have any memory of it, he knew how to deal with company documents. It was like his instincts. Maybe something was in his unconscious, but it had not been stimulated before.
Alston looked upstairs worriedly, âI saw the lights on the second floor off when I came home. Is Cynthia asleep?â
Greg shook his head, âItâs not the usual time for Mrs. Smith to sleep. She should be awake, and you can see her. And I should remind you Mrs. Smith is very angry today and hasnât come down from upstairs all afternoon. She didnât even have dinner.â
Alston frowned. âDidnât even have dinner?â thought he.
âAsk the kitchen to heat the meal. Cynthia and I will go downstairs to eat later.â
âOkay!â Greg agreed cheerfully. âAlthough Mr. Smith has lost his memory, his behavior and thinking donât change. And he still loves Mrs. Smith. Thatâs wonderful!â thought Greg.
Alston went upstairs to the bedroom. The bedroom door was ajar. He opened the door carefully and walked in, seeing the light off. The bright moonlight came in through the window, making the room less dark.
He saw Cynthia lying on the inner side of the bed and covered with a thin quilt. She seemed to be asleep. But he noticed she moved when he opened the door.
Alston smiled gently and walked over slowly.
Cynthia heard footsteps and quickly closed her eyes with eyelids and eyeballs moving in panic.
After a while, she felt her mattress sag, and a warm breath came from her side. It was Alstonâs smell!
Alston wrapped around her waist with a strong arm and pulled her into his arms. Cynthia was startled and let out a low sound.
Then she closed her mouth, pretending to be asleep.
She leaned her cheek against Alstonâs chest and could hear Alstonâs intense heartbeat.
Seeing her pretending to be asleep and her eyelashes shaking constantly, Alston laughed and kissed her lightly on her eyelid, âCome on, I know you are awake!â
Cynthia was seen through and opened her eyes. She was slightly angry and glared at him, âWhat are you doing here? I thought you went for Gigi.â
Alston was a little helpless, âWhy her? Of course, I will hug my wife to sleep.â
Cynthia smiled but still stared at him, and she said in a weird tone, âYou have forgotten about me and just remembered you and Gigi have spent every day together for three years. Maybe you have gotten used to it.â
âNonsense.â Alston smiled. Looking at her narrowâminded and arrogant appearance, he loved her more.
âWhen did I spend every day with her? You could count on one finger how much time we were together in the past three years.
And I have no feelings for her.â
Alston was about to swear to God. Cynthia left his arms angrily and sat directly on his lap. With her long legs wrapping around his waist, she held his face with a severe expression, âThen tell me the truth. What was with that baby?â
