Chapter 406
Once again, Frank and I were both awkwardly caught off guard.
I tugged at Grandma’s arm. ‘Grandma, about that…”
“Soon.”
Frank abruptly interrupted me, speaking to urandma in a gentle and polite tone, “Grandma, I’ll marry her soon. You focus on taking care of yourself. Once you’ve recovered, we can hold the wedding”
I was dumbfounded.
The person making this statement didn’t even glance at me, as if the matter was completely unrelated to me.
Grandma was thrilled, her eyes shining with delight. “Really?”
“Really,” Frank answered with a smile.
I changed the subject “Grandma, let’s have breakfast quickly. Prof.
Kilburn will be here soon.
Judging by the time, Prof. Kilburn was probably finishing his breakfast

After Bethany and her mother left, I had sent a message to Prof Kilburn’s assistant, informing them that the matter was resolved.
wasn’t wrong about the timing. Grandma had just finished breakfast
when Prof. Kilburn and his team returned.
Since Prof. Kilburn was about to start the treatment, it was best if I
didn’t stay in the ward. I decided to head back to the hotel to pack my
things.
The house in Region Gardens was still more comfortable than the hotel.
Chapter 46
To my surprise, as soon as I stepped out of the elevator with my. suitcase, I saw Frank and Danny waiting in front of my door.
One was standing, the other sitting.
I was a bit surprised. “Waiting for me?”
Frank remained silent, but Danny, with h short legs, ran over and nodded vigorously. “Yes! Charlotte, Uncle is giving me a lift to your
house!”
“And what about your uncle?”
“Uncle is leaving soon!”
Frank gave him a sidelong glance. “Who told you that?”
I asked, “Aren’t you leaving?”
“I am,” Frank spoke indifferently, then pinched Danny’s face and looked at me. “I’m going to a meeting now. He’s in your care. If things get too unbearable, just give him a beating.”
“Don’t worry. I have no inclination towards violence.”
“By the way…” He looked at me with deep, serious eyes and then said. something unrelated, “The answer that Alana interrupted last night, I want to hear it again when I come to pick up Danny later.”
I had thought that taking care of such a small child would be very troublesome, but it was surprisingly harmonious.
Once in the house, I discovered that Frank had arranged for regular cleaning, so the place was quite clean.
While I was unpacking, Danny buzzed around me chattering away.
But when I picked up my drawing board to work, he took out his own puzzle and started working on it seriously on the floor.

Noticing that I kept watching him, he blinked his big eyes and asked, ” What’s up, Charlotte?”
“I think you’re great. Your focus is very strong.”
“Uncle says, if you do two things at once, you’ll end up being indecisive. in relationships, and you’ll stay single for life!”
I couldn’t help but laugh. “Do you know what being ngle means?”
“Yes!” He nodded vigorously. “Someone like Uncle is single!”
Later in the evening, the doorbell rang unexpectedly.
I thought Frank had come to pick up Danny, but when I opened the door, it was Alana.
I was a bit taken aback. “Alana, aren’t you going abroad?”
“There’s still some time.”
She curved her red lips into a polite smile and asked, “May I come in and sit for a while?”
“Of course.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Danny, hearing his mother’s voice, rant over and threw himself into Alana’s arm., “Mommy! I missed you!”
“Since you missed Mommy, why not go abroad with her to play?”
“No!” The little guy shook his head. “I have important business to attend to!”
Alana chuckled. “What important business?”
Danny’s big eyes twirled around, and he pouted, pretending to be mysterious. “I promised Uncle I wouldn’t say.”
“Alright, you go play.” Alana patted his bottom and ushered him into an

unused room.
I opened the refrigerator and asked her, “Water or juice?”
“Neither.” Alana smiled. “I just want to chat with you for a bit before I head to catch my flight.”
I nodded and led her to the living room.
Alana was indeed straightforward and didn’t beat around the bush. ” What are your plans with Frank?”
If I said I hadn’t thought about this question in the past couple of days, that would be a lie.
