Contract Marriage With Mysterious President novel Chapter 272

In the next six months, Richard didn't go home earlier. He worked late every night as he needed to save the HD Group. He nearly dealt with all stuff by himself. Grandma Eva had already returned home, but she was not widely awake. She wasn't able to recognize people. When Grand Eva went back home, Cathy went back to her teahouse. She didn't wanna see Addy. Nor did she wanna see Grandma Eva in this condition as this reminded her of her husband Halbert.

In the darkness, Richard returned home. Unexpectedly, Addy was waiting for him in the hall.

"Finally you are back, Richard." Addy hurriedly gave him a cup of tea.

"Auntie, how's grandma?" Richard received the tea but he didn't drink.

"She's fine, but nothing better. She isn't able to recognize anyone." Addy sighed after the reply.

"She tripped and fell. It is lucky enough that she isn't paralyzed. The reason why she can have a recovery lies in the fact that she used to be in a good condition. But you have to work very hard, auntie." Richard knew Grandma Eva was looked after by Addy, but he didn't know they had a deal.

"It's fine. I am used to it. It's my duty to look after your grandma. She is Jacob and William's grandma as well. But I really wanna say sorry to you as your grandma and I bother you. I have considered it for a long time and I don't think it's proper for us to stay with you. What about taking your grandma to the countryside?" Addy was fat, leaving people a simple impression.

She stared at Richard closely as if she really wanted his agreement, but in fact she was making a bet that Richard wouldn't agree.

"You wanna go to the countryside? It's not that wise. Stay here. There is good medical equipment here and there are people serving you. If you go back to the countryside, you must be very tired." As she expected, Richard disagreed.

"Richard, I know you're nice, but Grandma and I will incommode you. I really feel sorry." Hearing Richard's disapproval of her suggestion, she smiled in heart. She knew Richard wouldn't ask her to leave, but she was afraid she would be driven away.

"No worries. It's also my duty to take care of grandma. Stay here without worry, auntie. I am too busy to stay with you. I have had money transferred to your account. It's living expense. What you wanna eat, tell the butler." Richard resumed the butler's power.

When Grandma Eva was here, she seized all the power in her hands. She only gave the cook a little money to buy food. Now Grandma Eva was in poor condition, so Richard gave the power back to the butler.

"Okay. You're such a nice guy, Richard. It's our luck to have you. You're not like your brother who abandoned us." Now Addy was at ease. What she needed to do now was run deep in the Carter family so that she could continue her scheme.

She estimated Grandma Eva would never wake up, but it didn't matter as long as she was alive.

Addy went to her bedroom after hearing Richard's reply. She could have a sound sleep tonight. As long as Richard didn't drive her away, she could stay here without worry.

After going back to his own bedroom, Richard lay on his bed exhaustedly after taking the bath. The soft bed was comfortable and the night was peaceful, but he failed to fall into sleep.
