A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 223

During the period, Marcie especially lifts her head to look at Ellison. And the smug look on her face prompts Ellison to intend to spank her.

Yes. Ellison wants to spank his little niece.

As the young master of the Quinn family, Ellison, who has always been known for his composure, has the idea of spanking someone for the first time.

He does find out that it is indeed obscene and nasty to have this idea...

However, this is a matter related to his wife's "clean reputation", he feels that he surely can’t condone this little girl!

However, Kelly hugs Marcie very tightly and doesn’t intend to let go of her at all, which makes Ellison have no chance to do so.

At this moment, Kelly focuses on paying attention to Marcie. So she doesn't have time to care about Ellison!

When Wade arrives at Ellison's house, he hears Marcie's silver-bell-like laughter coming from the house.

He deliberately came over at noon so as not to disturb Marcie's sleeping late.

Although he didn’t live with Marcie for long, Marcie is his granddaughter anyway. And he surely knows that Marcie especially likes to sleep late.

Some children of the same age as Marcie wake up early in the morning and are very energetic throughout the day.

But Marcie seems to be different from them. It seems that she is perfectly the same as Sunny when it comes to this point. Ever since she became sensible,  she has become one of the people who tend to sleep late without hesitation.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the three people in the house have turned around to look at it, only to see that Wade is standing in the doorway and looking at the three of them seriously.

The old man wears casual clothes today. And his face is angular. It can be easily seen that when he was young, he was a handsome man whom thousands of girls went after as well. Although he has gray hair all over his head and yet no white beard hanging on his jaws, he looks young and energetic.

A short white beard makes him particularly spiritual instead. And the pair of deep-set eyes look particularly bright.

As soon as Marcie sees Wade, she immediately breaks free from Kelly's arms and strides to Wade's side.

"Grandpa!" The crisp voice of the child makes Wade, who was originally expressionless, smile brightly. And he joyfully looks at Marcie who is running towards him, spreads his arms to catch her in his arms, and then picks her up.

"Marcie, are you good behaved today?" He reaches out and touches Marcie's nose lightly. And he, who always has a serious look on his face, is smiling so happily at this time.

For Marcie, he is fond of her from the bottom of his heart.

Marcie has a fair face and light arched eyebrows. Her large almond-shaped eyes reveal her inner thoughts. And her small nose and small mouth make her look extremely beautiful as well.

The pitch-black hair scattering on her shoulders makes her somewhat more delicate and beautiful.

Although Marcie is young, she behaves elegantly and talks decently, looking like an open-minded lady from a rich family. Whoever sees her will involuntarily tend to pamper her.

In Wade’s opinion, Marcie is like a beautiful jasmine flower that is white, flawless, fresh and elegant, smelling fragrant.

“Grandpa, you can ask Uncle if you don't believe me!"

She wraps her arms around Wade's neck. Then she kisses Wade's well-maintained face fervently.

It makes Wade, who is originally quite happy, even happier.

Wade holds Marcie in his arms and walks towards the room. Kelly and Ellison stand up, intending to take Marcie over, only to be stopped by Wade.

Well, the way Wade sees it, he and his good granddaughter are going to spend some time together so that they can be close and intimate. No one should disturb them!

The layout style of Ellison's home should be mainly the modern European style.

His house looks romantic and stately. With its high-ceilinged foyer, imposing gate, round and arched windows, and the stone masonry in the corner, it looks majestic and magnificent.

The white stucco walls are matched with light red tiles on the roof. And the continuous arches and cloisters as well as the living room with high and large-faced windows dazzle visitors.

The simple symmetry highlights the calmness of the owner. And each room is square. The functional space division and location layout reflect the rigor of the owner's family.

Marcie just resolved her conflict with Kelly. And now that her grandfather, whom she has not seen for a long time, has also come to see her. Then Marcie is no longer as picky as to when she started eating back then. She eats whatever she is given now!

Marcie enjoys whatever dishes Kelly, Ellison, and Wade put in her bowl.

Seeing that the child is enjoying the food, Kelly, who was originally nervous, becomes relieved.

Wade asks lightly, "What were you talking about? How come Marcie was smiling so happily?" 

The Quinn family, a prestigious family, has a history of hundred years. Even so, everyone in the family is very united and friendly. Plus, unlike other families, they don’t live together with relatives from their collateral branches.

So regarding the rule that talking over the meal and sleeping is not allowed, it is not completely carried out in the Quinn family.

Although there are times when this is fully implemented during meals, such times are still few and far between. And especially after Marcie is here, such times are even rarer.

Kelly, who is drinking soup, almost spits out a mouthful of soup after hearing Wade’s words. And after she manages to swallow it, she is almost choked.

Wade is a bit dissatisfied with Kelly's appearance. But in the end, he doesn't say anything.

After all, Kelly is his second daughter-in-law whom he thinks highly of. And for his family members, Wade is always more patient and tolerant than he is to the outsiders.

Marcie pats Kelly's back thoughtfully and asks with concern, "Aunt Kelly, are you okay?"

Marcie thinks to herself, “Well, Auntie Kelly gets choked. She is so poor!”

“I feel so sorry for Auntie Kelly!”
