A Father And His Wolves novel Chapter 58

In his wildest dreams, Sean never thought he would know the girl in the photo, the one sponsored by his grandma and grandpa.

And they met yesterday afternoon!

At Bentley 4S!

She was the saleswoman who treated Sean and was being pushed aside by other colleagues!

She was his aunt???

What a coincidence!

After a pint of wine, Sean was a little tipsy, though not drunk. His blushed face looked surprised. After a moment’s pause, he looked up at Gemma and asked, “That’s Cornelia, my aunt?”

“Yes.”

Gemma frowned, “What?”

Sean continued to ask, “Does she work at a Bentley 4S downtown, a car salesman?”

“That’s right!”

Gemma nodded and frowned even more, “How did you know that?”

“I’ve met her…”

Sean smiled and then he told Gemma all about his buying a car yesterday. Of course, he didn’t tell Gemma about Cornelia’s situation at Bentley 4S, so as not to worry her.

“That’s a coincidence.”

Gemma opened her eyes wide with surprise and then laughed, “Looks like this Cornelia kid is really connected to our family.”

“Yes.”

Sean nodded and smiled, but he thought Cornelia was in a bad situation and her job was not going well. Well, he was going to Bentley 4S this afternoon to get his license plate renewed, so if he could, he might as well help her out.

Just then, Sean’s cell phone started ringing.

He took out his phone and saw it was Matthew.

“Sorry, I have to take this.”

Sean stood up and avoided Gemma. He hadn’t had a chance to tell her about his engagement to Cecilia. He planned to surprise grandma and Grandpa with Cecilia and Phyllis after he settled things up with the Moore family.

“Matthew.”

Matthew’s anxious voice was heard on the phone, “Sean? You need to get over here! Be quick! Something’s wrong. Marcia is…”

“She’s been taken away!!!”

Hearing this, Sean’s face changed dramatically and his drunkenness disappeared in an instant.

“What happened?”

Sean asked, “Just take your time. Who took her? What’s the reason?”

“It’s, uh, it’s…”

Matthew felt a little shamed to say that, but he had to bite the bullet and tell the truth, “She was worried and suspected that you were coming to our house for ulcer. she was afraid that you would hurt Cecilia and Phyllis, so she wanted to check up on you while you were away.”

“When you left this morning, you changed your clothes and left a black card at home. She thought it was your bank card, so she pulled it out. There was a bank across the street from Phyllis’s kindergarten, and she wanted to check in.”

“But she was…”

Matthew was an honest man who told the truth and didn’t hide anything from Sean.

Sean unconsciously reached into his pocket and found that the black supreme card was not on him. He looked at the time and said, “Where’s Phyllis? Is school over?”

“Yes.”

Matthew said, “I was going to pick Phyllis up from school, but Marcia got caught. She screamed and asked me to call you, and I just…”

“I’ll be right there!”

Sean urged before Matthew could finish his sentence, “Matthew, why don’t you pick Phyllis up from school, and I’ll go straight to the bank.”

After hanging up the phone, he turned and walked away.

“Grandma, I have something urgent to deal with, so I might have to go.” Back with Gemma, Sean said apologetically.

“Okay, you can go now.”
