Love at the Wrong Table (Emmanuel Lowe and Mackenzie) novel Chapter 729

Chapter 729

“Old Mr. Quillen had gone to rest. Any good news can wait until tomorrow!”

Alfred rolled up his sleeves and squinted his eyes. It was as if he was asleep

since they were half-closed.

His only duty was to protect Terence. It was past 11 p.m., and Terence had

long since gone to bed.

“No, I can’t hold it in any longer! I must say it tonight!”

Beatrix was very persistent. She exclaimed outside Terence’s room and risked

being scolded by him.

Sure enough, Terence’s displeased voice came from inside the room a

moment ago. “Mr. Grishaw, let her in! I want to see if this girl has gone mad!”

“Yes, Old Mr. Quillen!”

Only then did Mr. Grishaw let Beatrix into the room.

“What is it? Why do you want to me in the middle of the night?”

Terence, who was in his pajamas, sat up from his bed and stared at his

granddaughter’in displeasure.

Everyone in the Quillen family knew that Terence had trouble sleeping and

dared not disturb him at night.

Alfred understood better than anyone that Terence would be furious if he

was awakened from his sleep!

Beatrix was probably asking for trouble tonight.

Much to his surprise, after a few words from Beatrix, Terence’s anger turned

into joy! He was so excited!

“Grandpa, my sister… She’s bleeding!”

Beatrix was still panting and was so excited that she couldn’t speak clearly.

“Bleeding? What happened? Is she injured?”

Terence was indeed shocked.

His granddaughter rushed to him in the middle of the night to tell him that his

eldest granddaughter was bleeding. How could he not be worried?

“Grandpa, it’s not the bad kind of bleeding. It’s the good kind!” Beatrix

continued to explain excitedly.

“What do you mean by good and bad?”

Terence was confused, but he was not as worried as before.
